Dividend Policy
We believe the payment of stable, high dividends and improving corporate value (or shareholder value) are important means of returning profits to our shareholders.
We have maintained a full-year cash dividend of ￥54.00 per share for the past nine fiscal years.
We will continuously improve our business performance and maintain high dividends that are commensurate with the expansion of profits.
