Dividend Information

In line with our shareholder return policy, we are striving to maintain a steady dividend stream while working to further expand return to shareholders in a way that gives due consideration to striking a balance between soundness and profitability as well as to securing opportunities for growth investments.

We also practice a policy of annually delivering two rounds of dividend payouts in order to provide our shareholders with greater opportunities to enjoy returns on profit, paying interim dividends from surplus with the record date set at September 30.

For fiscal year 2020, we decided to pay annual dividends of 21 yen per common share (comprising interim dividends of 10.5 yen and year-end dividends of 10.5 yen). With regard to annual dividends per common share for fiscal year 2021, our intention is to keep the amount at a level on par with dividends paid for fiscal year 2020.
