3.About Dividend Payment for the Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2025
We position the distribution of profits to all shareholders as a priority management issue. Our shareholder return policy is to ensure a total return ratio of at least 50% as a proportion of net income attributable to owners of the parent, hold steady or increase dividends per share, and aim for continually conduct share buybacks. Based on this policy, for fiscal 2025, we have decided to pay the interim dividend of ¥27 per share, as planned at the beginning of the year. The year-end dividend forecast is also ¥27 per share, and therefore the annual dividend per share is expected to be ¥54. In addition, we are conducting share buyback up to ¥30 billion or 22 million shares, and the total return ratio for fiscal 2025 is expected to be approximately 142%.
