Our basic policy on shareholder return is to increase investment in growth, aiming to become a company of sustainable growth with strategic investment, while at the same time, we will return profits to shareholders with an awareness of capital efficiency.
Taking this stock split into account, the amount of the dividend per share is an interim dividend of 22.5 yen, a year-end dividend of 22.5 yen, making an annual dividend of 45 yen. The consolidated payout ratio was 125.4%.
