The Company considers fulfillment of the return of profits as one of the important management measures to enhance shareholder value.
The Company’s basic shareholder return policy is a total shareholder return amount, which is the sum of dividend payouts and share buybacks, of approximately 30% of the profit before income tax expense attributable to Financial Services Business excluding extraordinary factors such as gain on sales of subsidiaries’stocks, for the time being.
Furthermore, with a minimum of JPY10 per share, the annual dividend is to be decided after a comprehensive consideration of the appropriate level of internal reserves required for sustainable growth, along with a consideration for the ongoing business performance.
