Dividend Information
Dividend policy
Recognizing the distribution of profit to shareholders as one of its important management objectives, the Group has upheld a stable basic policy of declaring dividend payments on ordinary shares based on sustainable business results. To that end, dividend payments by the Group will be determined in view of the enhancement of its financial status and accumulation of the appropriate level of retained earnings for future business growth.
Considering factors such as the Group’s current financial position and its level of profitability, the Board of Directors has regrettably decided not to declare dividends for ordinary shares for the financial year ended 31 March 2024. The Group has forecast that no dividend will be paid for the financial year ending 31 March 2025.
The Group recognizes the importance of dividends to its shareholders and anticipates resuming dividend payments when the financial performance of the Group allows.
