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

The company updated its policy on management with awareness of the cost of capital and share price, announced in May 2024, including fiscal 2025 results for ROE, ROIC and PBR and progress in improving profitability, investment and investor relations. The shareholder return policy was changed to progressive dividends, and a target for the new research and development centre to begin operations in 2028 was also presented.
