Kyocera Corporation believes that the best way to increase corporate value and meet shareholders' expectations is to improve consolidated performance on an ongoing basis. Therefore, Kyocera Corporation has adopted a principal guideline that dividend amounts shall fall within a range based on profit attributable to owners of the parent on a consolidated basis, and has set its dividend policy to maintain a payout ratio of around 50% of profit attributable to owners of the parent. In addition, Kyocera Corporation determines dividend amounts based on a comprehensive assessment, taking into account various factors including the amount of capital expenditures necessary for medium-to-long-term corporate growth.
Kyocera Corporation also has adopted policies to ensure its sound financial condition, and, for this purpose it sets aside other general reserves in preparation for the creation of new businesses, cultivation of new markets, development of new technologies and acquisition, as necessary, of outside management resources to achieve stable and sustainable corporate growth.
In addition to the above, Kyocera Corporation will implement acquisitions of its own shares within a certain range based on cash flow, when appropriate, as a powerful measure for enhancing returns to the shareholder.
For FY25, the amount of the year-end dividend will be 25 yen per share. The amount of the annual dividend will be 50 yen per share when aggregated with the interim dividend, which was in the amount of 25 yen per share. This amount will be the same as the annual dividend (based on the shares after the stock split) for the year ended March 31, 2024.
Kyocera Corporation will determine the amount of the annual dividend in accordance with the above mentioned "i) Basic Profit Distribution Policy." Currently, the annual dividend for FY26 is expected to be 50 yen per share.
