Dividend information

With an eye on future changes in the business environment and business development, and taking into consideration a comprehensive range of factors including business performance, financial position, and the level of dividend payout ratio, the Company will strive to provide enhanced return of profits to shareholders by adopting a progressive dividend policy based on the continuation of stable dividends with a minimum dividend on equity (DOE) of 4.0%.

With regard to retained earnings, we will use them to establish a solid management foundation, to develop our business globally from a medium- to long-term perspective, to develop and expand our logistics facilities and IT-related facilities, and to strengthen our financial position.

We will continue to strive to further improve our business performance through growth investments, deepening our existing businesses, and expanding new businesses, while also striving to increase profit returns to shareholders.

The Company's Articles of Incorporation stipulate that it may pay interim dividends.
