Dividend Policy

It is our prioritized corporate policy to realize even more sizable returns to shareholders, while placing emphasis on investments for future growth where continuous increase in profits is targeted as well as on retained earnings to strengthen the financial condition, through the proactive pursuit of businesses.
As established in the Mid-Term Business Plan, the basic dividend policy shall be that a variable amount shall be paid based on annual business results. Our payout ratio shall be 25% of consolidated net profit (starting from the fiscal year ended on September 31, 2018), and internal reserves shall be utilized for mid-term strategical investments.
In the case that profit attributable to owners of the parent fluctuates greatly in a fiscal year due to extraordinary factors, we will take those effects into consideration when determining dividends. Furthermore, should the LIFULL Group have negative results in a single year, it is possible that a dividend will not be paid.

Reference Date September 30
Payout Ratio Approx. 25.0% of Consolidated Net Profit
