Dividends / Shareholder return
About dividends
In the Medium-to-Long-Term announced in May 2022, we declared a dividend payout ratio of 30%. However, considering the recent business environment and financial situation, we will increase the dividend payout ratio to 40% from the fiscal year ending March 2024. As a result, the dividend for the fiscal year ending March 2024 will increase significantly, but our company maintains a high level of net profit margin among the temporary staffing industry, so it is fully possible to increase the return to the shareholders.
Our company emphasizes the dividend payout ratio, but we place more emphasis on the dividend amount.
If profits decline, even if we continue to pay the same amount of dividends, the dividend payout ratio will increase, but we cannot say that we are increasing returns to shareholders.
We believe that continuing to increase profits and dividends, enhancing our evaluation in the stock market, and improving our market capitalization will lead to higher returns.
Aiming to achieve this, we are currently working on a medium-to-long-term management plan that runs until the fiscal year ending March 2027.
We will continue to make large investments to develop and improve our platform and improve the treatment of temporary and internal employees, but we will maintain our profit margin and continue to increase sales, profits, and dividends.
