Shareholder Return

Maintain a basic dividend payout ratio of 50.0% based on non-consolidated performance

Dividend Policy

Our Group recognizes that returning profits to shareholders is an important management issue. Our basic dividend policy is to continuously pay dividends in accordance with non-consolidated performance (a basic dividend payout ratio of 50.0%), while improving our operating results and strengthening our financial position, and to pay dividends from surplus twice a year, consisting of an interim dividend and a year-end dividend.
The decision-making body for the payment of dividends from retained earnings is the General Meeting of Shareholders for the year-end dividend and the Board of Directors for the interim dividend.
With regard to internal reserves, the Group will continue to make effective investments in system development and servers in order to respond to customer needs, improve customer convenience, and ensure stable system operations.
Looking ahead, we will emphasize returning profits to shareholders through dividends.
