Dividends will shift from the previous policy targeting a 35% payout ratio to implementing a progressive dividend policy with a 35% payout ratio target. Regarding share buybacks, the Company will flexibly execute purchases after growth investments when surplus funds arise, taking stock price levels into consideration.\n\n### Reason for Change and Future Policy\nThe Group aims for sustainable growth by balancing proactive growth investments in regions, businesses, new products, and new service development with shareholder returns. Over the next three years, the Company plans growth investments of up to 150 billion yen, prioritizing the allocation of on-hand funds and future cash flows, including leverage utilization, to growth investments. Shareholder returns will adopt stable progressive dividends, with flexible share buybacks conducted when surplus funds are available after growth investments. The change will apply from the fiscal year ending March 2027.","jir_financial_highlights":"Dividend Payout Ratio: 35% (Changed to progressive dividends targeting a 35% payout ratio)\nGrowth Investment Plan Amount: Up to 150 billion yen (Planned over the next three years)\nShare Buyback: Undecided (To be conducted flexibly when surplus funds are available after growth investments)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#MISUMIGroupInc, #Dividend, #ShareholderReturn","jir_key_figures":"Dividend Payout Ratio: Changed to progressive dividends targeting 35%\nGrowth Investment Plan: Up to 150 billion yen (over the next three years)\nEffective Period of Change: From fiscal year ending March 2027","jir_meta_title":"\u3010MISUMI Group Inc.\u3011Introduction of Progressive Dividends Targeting 35% Payout Ratio\uff5cFiscal Year Ending March 2027","jir_meta_description":"MISUMI Group Inc. will introduce a progressive dividend policy targeting a 35% payout ratio from the fiscal year ending March 2027.
