IINO VISION
Under our medium-term management plan, "Transformation for a Sustainable Future," we aim to realize our long-term vision, IINO VISION, by enhancing corporate value through capital-efficient growth investments and disciplined management.
By advancing the strategies of the mid-term management plan, we aim to achieve the numerical targets set forth in the financial and non-financial sections of the plan.
Dividend Policy(As of May 8, 2026)
The Company regards the shareholder returns as one of its key management priorities. Based on the new Medium-Term Management Plan, the Company has established a basic policy to deliver stable, predictable, and flexible shareholder returns by using profits generated through growth investments as a source, while taking into account future investment capacity and financial soundness. Specifically, while maintaining a payout ratio of 40% of full-year earnings, the Company will introduce a minimum dividend of 30.00 yen per share to enhance dividend stability and predictability, given the significant market volatility in the shipping industry. In addition, the Company will flexibly repurchase its own shares while maintaining financial discipline to further enhance shareholder returns.
