Shareholder Return
Shareholder Return Policy
JAPAN POST INSURANCE Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) recognizes that the distribution of profit to shareholders is an important policy of management, and distributes profits to shareholders stably, while securing management soundness.
Specifically, the Company in principle aims not to decrease but to increase dividend per share for the period of the Medium-term Management Plan up to FY2028, while considering earning prospects and financial soundness. On the assumption that the FY2028 target of adjusted profit of ¥190.0 billion is achieved, we will aim to increase the dividend per share for FY2028 to ¥62 or more. Furthermore, with the primary aim of returning profits to shareholders flexibly, the Company will strive to achieve an average total payout ratio of 55% in the medium term by engaging in the agile acquisition of treasury stock and other means.
The Company has established as a financial target “adjusted profit,” a new financial indicator which partially adjusts the impact of an increase in new policies which on a short-term basis reduces profit, a phenomenon unique to life insurance companies. The Company has been providing stable shareholder returns using the “adjusted profit” as the source of funds.
The Company secures internal reserves to fund stable business growth to enable it to respond to future changes in the business environment.
* The underlined parts indicate points where shareholder return policies have been enhanced compared to the previous Medium-Term Management Plan.
