The Company’s basic dividend policy is to pay a minimum annual dividend of JPY 10 per share, and endeavors to increase the dividend when it has determined that a further return of profits is possible, after a comprehensive consideration of the appropriate level of internal reserves required for sustained growth, along with a consideration of the ongoing business performance.
Furthermore, regarding the total return amount which includes the total amount of dividend payouts and share repurchase amounts, the Company has decided that from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the total amount of dividends will be approximately 30% of profit before income tax expense of the Financial Services Business excluding extraordinary factors such as gain on sales of subsidiaries’ stocks, for the time being.
In view of the abovementioned policy as well as the consolidated financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2023, announced today, and the recent condition of the stock market, the Company has decided its interim dividend based on the record date of September 30, 2023, to be JPY 30 per share for the current fiscal year. Meanwhile, the year-end dividend will be determined based upon the full-year business performance for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.
