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 basic policy is to return profits to shareholders through annual dividends from retained earnings and the flexible repurchase of treasury shares, while reflecting each period’s results, giving due consideration to strengthening the internal reserves necessary to establish a solid management foundation, and comprehensively taking into account shareholders’ equity and the earnings environment. The consolidated payout ratio will be maintained at 60% or higher, and the proportion of the distributable amount will also be used as an indicator. In addition, through the fiscal year ending March 2027, if business activities during the relevant period generate a profit, the policy is to pay a combined ordinary and special dividend of ¥50 per share.
