Dividends

Dividend Policy

SMK considers returning profits to shareholders as one of its top management priorities. During the current Medium-Term Business Plan period (FY2024-FY2026), we aim to provide dividends with a target Dividend on Equity ratio (DOE) of approximately 2%, with the premise of maintaining financial soundness in response to changes in the business environment.
Our basic policy is to distribute retained earnings as dividends twice a year, through interim and year-end dividends. The interim dividend is determined by the Board of Directors, while the year-end dividend is resolved at the General Meeting of Shareholders.
