<h3 class="smt_head2">3 [Dividend Policy]</h3>

Our basic approach to profit distribution is to conduct growth investments for future development, improve profitability and capital efficiency, while maintaining stable dividends for our shareholders. We will continue to implement progressive dividends.

Our dividend policy is to pay dividends twice annually as a general rule: an interim dividend and a year-end dividend. The interim dividend is decided by the Board of Directors, and the year-end dividend is decided by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

For the year-end dividend for the current fiscal year, we plan to resolve a dividend of 18 yen per share at the regular General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for June 26, 2025. Combined with the interim dividend of 17 yen per share already paid, the annual dividend will be 35 yen per share, representing an increase of 7 yen compared to the previous fiscal year (including 2 yen as a commemorative dividend).

Retained earnings will be allocated to long-term research and development investments and manufacturing equipment investments, and will be utilized for future business expansion.
