ES-CON JAPAN considers the return of profits to shareholders to be of the utmost importance, and our basic policy is to strive for stable profit return that is continuous and in line with the company's growth potential, taking into consideration the state of business performance, the enhancement of internal reserves, dividend payout ratio, etc. We introduced Progressive Dividend Policy * from the second medium-term management plan, and have continued this policy in 5th Medium-Term Management Plan.

*The dividend per share (DPS) will be limited to the previous fiscal year's dividend per share amount, and in principle, the dividend policy will be "no reductions, only maintaining or increasing dividends."
