Update on Initiatives to Achieve Management Conscious of Capital Costs and Share Prices

The company reviewed its performance, ROE, share price and PBR in fiscal 2025 and assessed its initiatives as insufficient, including because PBR remained below 1x. It then outlined a policy to strengthen capital efficiency and shareholder returns through execution of the Fourth Medium-Term Management Plan, ROE of at least 8.0%, an annual dividend floor of ¥35 per share, and a total payout ratio that includes share buybacks.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Profit declined from the previous fiscal year because the lengthening of construction schedules due to larger-scale projects limited progress in revenue, the decline in sales volume could not be fully offset by improved profitability, and equity-method investment gains decreased. PBR remained below 1x, and the company determined that its various initiatives were still insufficient.
