Basic Policy on Profit Distribution
JPX recognizes the significance of sharing profits with shareholders as part of its management plans.
JPX adopts a dividend policy with a target payout ratio of about 60% tied to business performance while giving due consideration to the importance of internal reserves for the following purposes:
－ Maintaining sound financial health as a financial instruments exchange group,
－ Preparing for risks as a clearing organization, and
－ Enabling the group to pursue investment opportunities to raise the competitiveness of its markets as they arise.
Additionally, as announced in the Medium-Term Management Plan 2024 in March 2022, further shareholder returns will be implemented in a flexible manner, taking into consideration future investments and other factors.
(note)
- ･Since FY2015, JPX has raised its target dividend payout ratio from approx. 40% to approx. 60%.
