Dividends
Arealink considers the long-term and overall increase in profit for shareholders to be an important management objective. The Company’s basic policy regarding dividends is to pay a stable dividend with a target payout ratio of 35% with no decrease from the previous fiscal year, based on the medium-term business plan, while assessing the market environment and timing of capital expenditures, bearing in mind the securing of internal funds for reinvestment, and upon an overall consideration of the Company’s financial condition and earnings.
