Overview of Results and Outlook
The presentation summary notes that the increase in SG&A in the second quarter was linked to seasonal factors such as distribution and utility costs, while rising procurement costs affected profit levels. The full-year plan incorporates multiple risks and balances a conservative stance reflecting currency and procurement cost volatility with assumptions of solid domestic customer sales. Sales of non-core real estate are expected to be realized over the long term, assuming dispersion of gains over time.
Capital Policy and Dividend Policy
Capital policy has been shifted by raising the payout ratio and total shareholder return. The company clearly stated a goal of achieving ROE of 10% or more by fiscal 2031 and will consider a total shareholder return of around 70% including share buybacks in the future. Specific measures will be presented in the next medium-term management plan. Profit growth from overseas operations such as Vietnam and economic effects from group seamless integration are expected to be incorporated, raising the business profit outlook to 80–85 billion yen.
