Basic Company policy on distribution of profits |
Hitachi Cable distributes appropriate profits following a comprehensive assessment of issues such as business performance, enhancements in management structure, and future business strategies.
With respect to the distribution of retained earnings, the Company returns profits to shareholders after considering business performance, in line with its basic policy of providing stable dividends, paying dividends in cash twice annually, with basis dates of March 31 and September 30. It also seeks to apply the remaining funds effectively, investing them into businesses with high potential for future growth, into revitalizing existing businesses, and for other purposes, while maintaining and strengthening its financial status. The Company also regards the acquisition of treasury stocks as another effective means of distributing profits to shareholders, implementing relevant measures while considering issues such as trends in share prices and financial circumstances.
