Dividend per share
Fiscal year ending March 2026Each vertical step represents one dividend payment, and the total height of the accumulated steps represents the annual dividend for the period. For periods showing only the annual amount, the payment breakdown is not provided, so only the end point is plotted.
The record date is the cutoff date for determining which persons listed in the shareholder register on that date are entitled to receive dividends.Payments begin on the effective date.
The company will divide its dividends into base dividends (standard dividends) and extra dividends (additional dividends), aiming to achieve both stable shareholder returns and stronger balance sheet management. For the next fiscal year, it plans to pay an annual base dividend of ¥50 and an annual extra dividend of ¥20. The extra dividend is expected to vary each fiscal year based on results during the fiscal year. The company will allocate as much of its distributable resources as possible to shareholder returns. Its previous policy of “not reducing dividends” has been withdrawn.
