Shareholders’ Returns
Basic Policy Concerning Profit-sharing
From the long-term perspective, we are focusing on expanding profitability and maintaining a solid financial base, and our basic policy is to return the fruits of such management efforts to our shareholders in a proper, consistent manner. We strive to increase our corporate value by allocating internal reserves for capital investments and R&D investments and aggressively using them for enhanced global competitiveness, future business development and further growth. We will maintain our financial base, which will support our efforts to confront the drastic economic fluctuations and setback that may occur. Based on this policy, we emphasize shareholder return as part of our capital policy and strive to provide, considering various circumstances, stable dividends at a dividend payout ratio of around 35% in the medium- to long-term.
