Our basic policy is to improve shareholder profits over the medium and long terms by proactively promoting shareholder returns, including share buyback. This is done by taking cash flow into consideration and ensuring the investment level and financial stability necessary to improve our corporate value while being conscious of optimal capital structure and cash allocation.
Based on this basic policy, regarding dividend for the current consolidated fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, the Company plans for basic dividend of 40.00 yen and additional dividend of 45.00 yen per share, in total of annual dividend 85.00 yen per share (an interim dividend of 42.50 yen per share and a year-end dividend of 42.50 yen per share), as we announced on May 7, 2024.
All of “K” LINE Group members are vigilantly dedicated to the accomplishment of our goals with one voice, and we appreciate your continued support and encouragement.
