Transition of Dividend Policy and Dividends

The Suzuken Group’s basic policy is to maintain stable dividends and to return profits to shareholders with a total payout ratio of at least 100% on an average basis for the 3-year period ending March 31, 2026, the final year of our medium-term management plan, "For your next heartbeat — Creating a movement toward tomorrow."

The objectives are to enhance returns to shareholders and to improve corporate value and capital efficiency through reinforcing existing business areas and making investment toward creation of new business.
