Statements about the use of capital
Payout ratio / DOE policyA payout ratio of approximately 30% is the guideline. Stable dividends are the basic policy, and the company aims to increase dividends in line with earnings. Target period: Not disclosed.The payout ratio is the proportion of profit paid out as dividends, while DOE is the ratio of dividends to net assets.
Cost of capitalCost of equity (CoE): approximately 7.9%. This is not WACC.The cost of capital is the minimum rate of return expected by shareholders and banks from the company.
Self-assessment of PBR and share priceThe PBR was 0.30x at the end of June 2026, and a PBR below 1x has become the norm. The company aims to establish a PBR of at least 1.0x over the medium to long term.PBR is a measure of how many times the share price is the book value per share.
