Dividend Information

Dividend policy

We recognize the return of profits to shareholders as a management task of paramount importance. To fulfill this task, we will make efforts to maintain stable and continuous dividend payment and to enhance internal reserves from the long-term perspective of maximizing corporate value.

Retained earnings will be allocated to the most effective investments, with the aim of increasing profits through strong corporate competitiveness.
