Statements about the use of capital
Payout ratio / DOE policyThe Company will use a consolidated net income payout ratio of 20% as a guideline and seek to provide stable dividends through the long-term, stable enhancement of corporate value. The applicable period is the period covered by the current Medium-Term Management Plan. The introduction of DOE is being deferred at this time and will be considered in the future.The payout ratio is the proportion of profit paid out as dividends, while DOE is the ratio of dividends to net assets.
Treasury share acquisition policyThe Company will prioritize reducing interest-bearing debt and conduct share buybacks flexibly while taking into consideration factors including the status of free cash flow.
Cost of capitalThe Company recognizes a cost of equity of approximately 8.5% and WACC of approximately 5.0%. The cost of equity is estimated to range from 7.5% to 9.0%, and WACC from 4.0% to 5.5%.The cost of capital is the minimum rate of return expected by shareholders and banks from the company.

Risks identified by the company
Economic Conditions
Economic Trends
Foreign Exchange Movements
Innovation in related technologies and fluctuations in demand
Development and production capacity
Intensifying competition from silicon MEMS
Price competition from Chinese manufacturers of commodity products
Labor shortages at the Company’s own factories
Geopolitical risk
Requirements to decarbonize the entire supply chain
Reason for revision or withdrawal

Although demand for the Company’s focus markets, including automotive, medical and healthcare, and industrial equipment (IoT wireless communications), remained strong, profitability deteriorated due to a worsening product mix resulting from a sharp decline in orders for the Company’s mainstay smartphone applications, as well as higher raw material prices, labor costs and other expenses. As the arrival of the AI and IoT era is increasing the importance of crystal devices and expanding growth opportunities, the Company will further accelerate the transformation of its business portfolio and strengthen its earnings power and cash-generating capacity.
