Shareholders Return

Shareholders return policy

During the "Challenge 1000" long-term vision to fiscal year 2030, we aim to achieve a consolidated payout ratio of 30%, a total payout ratio of 50% (*1), and a dividend (*2) on equity (DOE) of 3%.

*1: The total return ratio is an indicator that represents the proportion of shareholder returns, calculated by adding dividends and share repurchases, and dividing this sum by the net income attributable to owners of the parent company.

*2: Consolidated shareholders' equity (consolidated net assets minus accumulated other comprehensive income).

Regarding share repurchases, we will implement them flexibly, taking into account factors such as stock price levels.
