Shareholder Return

Basic approach to shareholder returns

The Group considers that sustainable improvement of corporate value through business investment, and continuous return to shareholders by dividend are both important management issues.

We believe that by proactively investing in our business based on our growth strategy and maximizing corporate value, we can gain market reputation over the medium to long term and it will benefit our shareholders. In addition to this, we will return profits directly with dividends from stable business profits to shareholders.

Basic approach to Treasury Stock

The Group believes that holding treasury stock contributes to improving capital efficiency and enables flexible capital policies to be implemented in response to changes in the business environment.

Therefore, the Company’s current treasury stock will not be canceled and will continue to be held as treasury stock. Future uses includes M&A funds, incentives for directors, and stock options for employees.
