Basic Policy on Distribution of Profits

Regarding profit distribution, the most important policy is the stability and continuity of dividends to shareholders.
In our basic policy on profit distribution, we will strive to improve the efficiency of our capital, aiming at sustainable improvement of corporate value in the future. We believe that reserves are essential ,so we determine the amount of dividends in consideration of factors such as financial conditions and business results for the fiscal year under review.
In addition, internal reserves will be allocated to aggressive store development based on the concept of "Total-Living," M&A development to maximize synergies in each business segment, human resource development, and ESG investment in the environmental resource development business. We will make use of this for the sustainable growth of the company.
We will continue to aim for sustainable dividends based on stable profit growth.
