Honda 2015 Annual Report Download - page 9

In the area of power product operations, Honda has been
continuing its research and development of a Walking Assist
Device which assists walking people with weakened leg
muscles. As the first step, in November 2015 we are planning
to begin lease sales of a Walking Assist Device to institutional
customers in Japan as rehabilitation equipment or as an
assistive device for walking therapy.
Team Honda in each area of motorcycles, automobiles
and power products will continue creating challenging
products that feature unprecedented ideas and technologies.
I will be sincerely committed to increase such a corporate
climate so that we can continue delivering joy and inspiration
to our customers.
Returning Profit to Shareholders
Honda is striving to increase its corporate value by conducting
business in each country while maintaining a global viewpoint.
We consider the return of profits to our shareholders as one of
our most important management responsibilities. We deter-
mine dividends while giving full consideration to our consoli-
dated financial results from a long-term perspective. Moreover,
Honda will implement necessary capital policy in a flexible
manner, including the acquisition of our own shares, when
needed for the purpose of improving capital efficiency.
The quarterly dividend for the fiscal fourth quarter is 22 yen
per share, and the total cash dividend to be paid for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2015 is 88 yen per share, which
includes a 22 yen per share dividend paid in each of the first,
second and third quarters.
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016, we forecast 22
yen per share quarterly dividends, which add up to an annual
dividend of 88 yen per share. We will continue to do our
utmost to meet the expectations of our shareholders.
Honda is a company where each and every associate
maintains a high level of initiative and works toward our dream
to realize the joy of our customers. Honda associates always
seek further advancement and growth while envisioning and
carving out a better future. With the passion of our associates,
Honda is striving to be a “company society wants to exist.”
Driven by “The Power of Dreams,” Honda will continue taking
on new challenges to create advanced innovations character-
istic of Honda so that we can continue fulfilling the expecta-
tions of society and provide joy, inspiration and satisfaction to
our customers.
Honda appreciates the continuous and long-term under-
standing and support of our shareholders and other investors
toward our business operations.
