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 interim dividend per share is calculated by using 40% of consolidated operating income for the interim period as the basis for the total interim dividend at the end of the interim period, dividing that amount by the number of issued shares after deducting the number of treasury shares held at that time, and rounding up any fraction of less than ¥1. For the annual dividend, 40% of consolidated operating income for the full fiscal year is used as the basis for the total dividend, and the resulting amount is divided by the number of issued shares after deducting the number of treasury shares held at the end of the fiscal year, with any fraction of less than ¥1 rounded up. Alternatively, the annual dividend per share is calculated based on a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 60%, with any fraction of less than ¥1 rounded up. The higher of these two amounts is adopted as the annual dividend per share.
