Our Group's Dividend Policy
Our Group is committed to delivering stable and continuous returns to shareholders, with dividends positioned as our top priority. Dividend decisions are made with careful consideration of consolidated business performance and future funding requirements.
During the Mid-Term Management Plan 2026 period (FY2024–FY2026), we have placed particular emphasis on stable shareholder returns. To this end, we introduced the Dividend on Equity (DOE) as a key dividend metric, which is less susceptible to short-term fluctuations in performance, and adopted a progressive dividend policy.

Dividend Payment Methods
■Methods of Receiving Dividends
There are two methods for receiving dividends: “Bank transfer” and “Cash payment via dividend receipt.”
By selecting ”Bank transfer”, you can safely and reliably receive your dividends.
Shareholders who have selected bank transfer :
Dividends will be directly deposited into the bank account you have designated in advance, including accounts at Japan Post Bank.
*There are three available methods for receiving dividends via bank transfer:
(i)Method based on individual stock designation
You may receive dividend payments separately for each stock you hold, with the amount transferred to the bank account designated for each individual stock.
(ⅱ) Lump-Sum Method for All Held Shares
You may receive dividends for all shares you hold in a single lump-sum payment to one registered bank account.
Please note that you must designate a single financial institution as the payee.
(ⅲ)Methods for receiving dividends in a securities company trading account
You may receive dividends for all shares you hold directly into your brokerage account.
Please note that shareholders using a “special account” are not eligible for this method.
*If you hold shares of the same stock across multiple brokerage firms,
dividends will be deposited into each respective brokerage account based on the number of shares held at each firm.
If you wish to use the bank transfer method, please contact the securities company where your shares are held.
If you wish to receive dibidends via a special account, please contact the Securities Agency Department of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited.
