Shareholder Return
Basic Policy on Return to Shareholders
The Company regards the return of profits to shareholders as a key management decision and has adopted a basic policy of maintaining sufficient internal reserves required for business growth from a medium- to long-term management perspective, while continually paying a stable dividend in consideration of its consolidated financial results.
Through the medium-term management plan(2024-2026) , Balancing efforts to leverage growth investment, maintain financial health and strengthen return to shareholders,TIS will lay the groundwork for an increase in the total return ratio yardstick to 50%, from 45%, and constantly enrich dividends per share.
In so doing, the Company will raise shareholder engagement.
