- The year-end dividend for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, is scheduled to be discussed as a proposal for the 16th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in March 2025.
２．Reason for the revision
The Company regards the return of profits to shareholders as an important management issue. Its basic policy is to distribute profits in accordance with business results while retaining the surplus required for business development and maintenance of financial soundness to increase corporate value.
Since the announcement of the previous forecast on February 7, 2025, the Company has continued to consider measures to enhance shareholder returns. Based on the latest financial situation, the Company has decided to revise its dividend forecast upward and increase the shareholder return ratio (consolidated dividend payout ratio).
As a result, the annual dividend for the fiscal year ending December 2025 is expected to be JPY 5 per share (an increase of JPY 3 compared to the previous fiscal year), with a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 44.9%.
