Distributing profits to shareholders in a comprehensive manner over the long-term is one of the highest priorities of the Avex Group. The fundamental policy concerning the dividend is to maintain a 30% payout ratio relative to consolidated earnings. The dividend in each fiscal year also reflects operating results, cash flows, upcoming needs for capital and other factors.
The year-end dividend is determined at the annual shareholders meeting and the interim dividend by the Board of Directors. The basic policy is to pay an interim and year-end dividend in each fiscal year.
