Dividend policy
Returning profits to shareholders is one of the important issues for the management of our group, and our basic policy is to continuously pay dividends according to business performance while working to strengthen our financial position, actively expand our business, and enhance the internal reserves necessary for strengthening our management base. Our basic policy is to pay dividends from surplus twice a year, an interim dividend and a final dividend. Dividends are decided by the Board of Directors for interim dividends and the General Meeting of Shareholders for final dividends. For this fiscal year, we will not pay dividends, as our top priority is to strengthen our financial base and accumulate internal reserves for future business expansion. The Articles of Incorporation stipulate that we may pay interim dividends.
