Our basic policy concerning profit distribution is to flexibly pay dividends based on performance while maintaining steady profit distribution to shareholders, with a consolidated annual dividend payout ratio of 35% being the guideline.

(Note) Effective January 1, 2020, the company split its common stock 2 for 1 in accordance with the resolution of the Board of Directors dated November 25, 2019. The figure of year-end dividend per share for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 (forecast) is calculated based on the number of issued shares after the stock split. The figure would be 48 yen if it were calculated using the number of issued shares before the stock split. The figure of total dividend per share for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 (forecast) is not shown here because its calculation is too complicated due to the stock split.
