Statements about the use of capital
Payout ratio / DOE policyMaintain a dividend payout ratio of approximately 30%. Applicable period: going forwardThe 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 PBR at the end of FY2025 was 0.69x. It approached 1.00x at the end of FY2024 and temporarily exceeded 1.0x during FY2025, but fell to 0.69x at the fiscal year-end following a sharp decline in the share price due to the earnings downturn and heightened tensions in the Middle East.PBR is a measure of how many times the share price is the book value per share.
