■Shareholder return policy
1. dividend policy
KeyHolder (4712) recognizes long-term and comprehensive shareholder value improvement and proper return of profits as important management issues. In particular, the company is aware of “efforts to implement a system aimed at realizing management that is conscious of capital costs and stock prices” by the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and the idea is to continuously improve corporate value by “eliminating the PBR 1 fold split,” “maintaining a high ROE level,” and “continuous growth investment.” Regarding return of profits, it is a policy to implement dividends after comprehensively considering the balance with necessary internal funds in order to be applied to investments based on the future business environment and medium- to long-term business plans. As a result of the above, dividends per share for the fiscal year ending 2024/12 are scheduled to be 10.0 yen, but we are continuing to consider increasing dividends for the current fiscal year based on the state of the business environment and performance, such as the dividend increase implemented for the 2023/12 fiscal year.
