JVCKENWOOD considers the stable distribution of profits to shareholders and the securing of management resources for future growth to be one of its most important management issues. Accordingly, it has set the total payout ratio as an indicator of shareholder return, taking into consideration its overall profitability and financial condition. In addition to dividends based on business performance, the Company will flexibly repurchase treasury stock, taking into account the balance between the use of capital for medium- to long-term profit growth and the effects of improving capital efficiency, and will provide stable profit returns to shareholders with a target total payout ratio of 30 - 40%.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (FY2022), the Company is decided to distribute a year-end dividend of 12 yen per share (ordinary dividend: 7 yen, special dividend: 5 yen) based on the above return policy and profit performance in FY2022.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 (FY2023), the Company forecast a year-end dividend of 8 yen per share (ordinary dividend) for the full year as striving to improve its business performance and financial condition and based on the above return policy.
