The Company considers the return of profits to shareholders to be one of the most important issues. With that in mind, its basic policy is to carry out a stable and consistent distribution of surpluses and distribute surpluses twice a year as a semi-annual dividend and year-end dividend. Through this policy, it aims to achieve a consolidated payout ratio of 50% on the basis of net income over a fiscal year attributable to owners of the parent company, comprehensively considering factors such as the payout ratio reflecting the progress of business results and the building of necessary internal reserves from medium-term business.
