2. Reason for announcing dividend forecast

Regarding the dividend forecast for this fiscal year, considering factors including recent solid financial results, we have determined the dividend forecast at the level reflecting a dividend payout ratio of 20%. Nevertheless, we continue to place great importance on the balance between actively securing investment opportunities to contribute to the Company’s future profits growth and profit distribution through dividends.

 

3. Dividend forecast from next fiscal year

In line with profits growth, as we continue to pursue higher transparency in our stable and sustainable delivery of dividend, we will announce the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ended March 2016 upon the resolution is formally reached at the meeting of the Board of Directors to be held during early May this year. In addition, in response to the desires for interim dividend which we have received from mostly individual investors, we have decided to implement interim dividend starting from the next fiscal year (dividend calculation based on the retained earnings recorded on September 30, 2015).
