Shareholder Returns

Dividend Policy

One of the critical challenges in our management is the return of profits to our shareholders. Our fundamental approach involves providing stable dividends with a targeted consolidated payout ratio of 40% to 60% while striving to improve profitability and strengthening financial health.

Our basic policy also entails conducting dividends twice a year, as mid-year and year-end dividends.
