We consider returning profits to shareholders to be an important issue as part of our efforts to increase shareholder value.
The Company's basic policy on profit distribution is determined by comprehensively considering the balance between returning profits to shareholders and enhancing internal reserves.
Our basic dividend policy is to maintain a dividend payout ratio of 30% or more on a consolidated basis at the end of the fiscal year.
