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.

Our basic policy is to allocate funds in a well-balanced manner between the necessary investments in each area required to pursue these initiatives and stable shareholder returns in line with medium- to long-term profit levels. Dividends from surplus will be paid with the aim of achieving a DOE in the 3% range.
