Shareholders Return

Dividend Policy

We believe that passing on profits to shareholders is an important part of our business administration work. As such, we strive to ensure stable management foundations and improve ROE (return on equity). In addition to this, when it comes to dividends, our basic policy is to provide stable dividends according to our business performance, taking into consideration such factors as the dividend payout ratio, further improving our corporate culture and ensuring we have sufficient internal reserves set aside for future business ventures.

Our basic policy is to pay out a single annual distribution of surplus as a year-end dividend. It is the role of the Shareholders Meeting to decide the amount of this distribution of surplus.
