our Group’s management team is well aware that one of its most important missions is to share the
fruits of that rich pipeline with our investors. The centerpiece of our shareholder return policy is
dividends premised on a consolidated payout ratio of 30%. We intend to reward our shareholders
primarily via dividends, while considering the balance we need to strike between shareholder return
and investment in content development for our future growth.
Two years have passed since I assumed the office of President and Representative Director.
Investments we have made over that time are now gradually beginning to generate benefits. My
intention is that the fiscal year ending March 2016 will be a year not only of reaping even greater
rewards from the investments we have engaged in to date, but also a year for sowing new seeds
that will take us to our next stage of growth. In an ever-changing business environment, our Group’s
management team has been entrusted with a vital mission: to constantly create new excitement and
new surprises to meet the expectations of our global customer base, and in so doing, to enhance our
enterprise value so that we may also meet the expectations of our shareholders and all our stakeholders.
We will devote ourselves every day to the fulfillment of that mission, and we look forward to your
continued support.
