Enhancing Shareholder Returns from a Long-term Perspective and Improving Corporate Value through Financial Policies

ROHM’s basic policy for returning profits to shareholders is based on the payment of stable ordinary dividends.
In addition, as part of our mid-term plan, we will work to improve financial efficiency by reducing cash on hand and purchasing treasury stock.

  • (1) Aim for a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% or more.
  • (2) Timely acquisition of treasury stock to improve capital efficiency.
  • (3) Reduce cash reserves in stages over five years to below 50% of annual sales in FY2025.
  • (4) Invest 600 billion yen over five years for business growth, and actively return profits to shareholders.

Efforts to Increase Employees’ Awareness of Participation in Management

ROHM Group has established an employee stock ownership plan. The purpose of this program is to enhance employee benefits and increase their awareness of participation in management. Employees can continually purchase shares from their own monthly salaries and bonuses, starting from a small amount.

In March 2022, the incentive grant rate for the stock ownership plan was increased from 10% to 20% in order to improve employees’ asset building with the company's shares and to increase employees’ engagement further.
This has had the effect of increasing the shareholding association participation rate by more than 30%. In addition, we hold briefings on financial results and employee stock ownership plan every quarter. The content of these meetings is also distributed via the company intranet. In addition, we share information such as the results of analyses by external analysts.
We will continue to take measures that lead to employees' participation in management from the same perspective as that of shareholders, aiming to further enhance our corporate value.

Vitalizing the Shareholders Meeting and Facilitation of the Exercise of Voting Rights
