Shareholders Return

GS Yuasa considers the return of profits to shareholders to be a priority management issue. As a general policy, GS Yuasa decides the level of dividends based on a comprehensive analysis of consolidated earnings results, the financial condition, and the dividend payout ratio. Internal reserves are used to improve future earnings by maintaining and enhancing investments and competitiveness. Based on these initiatives, GS Yuasa aims to continue its growth into the future and secure long-term stable returns to shareholders.
