Statements about the use of capital
Payout ratio / DOE policyThe Company will continue to pay the higher of a consolidated payout ratio of 30% or a dividend of ¥3.5 per share. For FY2027, it plans to pay an interim dividend of ¥1.7, a year-end dividend of ¥1.8 and an annual dividend of ¥3.5 per share.The payout ratio is the proportion of profit paid out as dividends, while DOE is the ratio of dividends to net assets.
Self-assessment of PBR and share priceThe Company recognizes that the primary factor behind its failure to meet the market capitalization of tradable shares criterion is its share price. Based on the current tradable share ratio, it estimates that a share price of ¥157 or higher is required for compliance with the criterion. This does not assume a specific PER level.PBR is a measure of how many times the share price is the book value per share.

Plan assumptionsIn FY2027, the Company will increase advertising investment to acquire new customers. Although this will result in profit remaining at the same level as in FY2026, the Company aims to expand its medium- to long-term earnings power by converting acquired customers to recurring purchases., Based on the current tradable share ratio, the Company estimates that a share price of ¥157 or higher is required for a market capitalization of tradable shares of ¥10 billion., The estimated PER for FY2027 is 29.85x, while the actual PER for FY2026 was 27.98x., For the FY2028 estimates, PERs of 29.85x, 27.98x and 19.20x are used., FY2028 EPS is estimated based on FY2028 consolidated operating profit, assuming that profit and loss items below operating profit remain at the same amounts and rates as in FY2026.

Risks identified by the company
Changes in the business environment or market conditions may make compliance with the continued listing criteria difficult within the plan period.
The share price may fluctuate depending on supply and demand in the market, investor valuations and external factors.
Future levels of the share price and PER, as well as the timing of compliance with the continued listing criteria, are not guaranteed.
The tradable share ratio may fluctuate depending on the future shareholder composition and other factors.
Actual performance and results may differ materially from the forecasts stated in the materials.
Reason for revision or withdrawal

The number and ratio of tradable shares have consistently exceeded the criteria, but the Company believes that the primary factor behind its failure to meet the market capitalization of tradable shares criterion is its share price. In FY2027, profit will be constrained by upfront investment resulting from increased advertising investment. This investment is intended to support growth from FY2028 onward.
