The MGC Group defines improving corporate value as a key management task. Accordingly, we strive to optimally divide earnings between our internal reserve and shareholder returns. With regard to dividends, the Group has adopted a progressive dividend policy in line with its medium-term management plan. This means that the Group will avoid decreasing dividends per share, provided that the payment of dividends will not damage its financial soundness, and will strive to increase dividends in step with the expansion and growth of its business operations. The Group has also set a target for its total shareholder return ratio at 50%.
Based on the abovementioned policy and the full-year operating results, MGC has decided to pay dividends of 50 yen per share, as previously forecasted, with March 31, 2025, as the record date.
