Fundamental improvement of the financial position through structural reform (carve-out) and a new capital policy — a policy to enhance shareholder value through achieving a net cash position, shareholder returns, suspension of new share issuances, and other measures

ELTES will become net cash positive during the current fiscal year through the carve-out and operating cash flow, and has outlined a capital policy to return approximately ¥500 million to shareholders over the next 3 years. It also plans to suspend new share issuances through the fiscal year ending February 2029, consider share buybacks and cancellations, and pursue three-year targets including operating profit of ¥900 million and an operating margin of at least 12.0%.
