Dividend Basic policy on profit distribution to shareholders
（JPY / Share）
Returning profit to shareholders is a key management concern for EIZO Corporation, and we have followed a basic policy of stable dividend payment in line with corporate growth. We return profit to shareholders on the basis of an overall consideration of securing retained profit for capital investments and R&D expenditures required for business expansion, financial status and future performance.
Year-end Dividend
Our target shareholder return ratio is 30% to 40% of net income, and we strive to strengthen our profit base to ensure we achieve this goal.

Dividend Basic policy on profit distribution to shareholders
（JPY / Share）
Returning profit to shareholders is a key management concern for EIZO Corporation, and we have followed a basic policy of stable dividend payment in line with corporate growth. We return profit to shareholders on the basis of an overall consideration of securing retained profit for capital investments and R&D expenditures required for business expansion, financial status and future performance.
Year-end Dividend
Our target shareholder return ratio is 30% to 40% of net income, and we strive to strengthen our profit base to ensure we achieve this goal.
