Shareholder Returns
Shareholder Returns of the Sixth Mid-Term Management Plan
Sekisui House regards the maximization of shareholder value as one of the most important management tasks. We therefore strive to increase earnings per share and will also seek to make investment for growth and enhance shareholder returns, taking into comprehensive account the status of profits and cash flows in each fiscal year and future business development, among other factors. We will stay committed to our policy of pursuing the medium-term average dividend payout ratio of at least 40%. Moreover, we aim to further strive for the stabilization of shareholder returns and, to this end, have set a minimum of ¥110 for annual dividends per share. We will also take a flexible approach to repurchases of Company stock to enhance shareholder value.
