Return to Shareholders

To achieve sustained growth in corporate value over the medium- to long-term, LY Corporation recognizes the importance of pursuing upfront investments in the Group's services and capital expenditures for future growth, as well as rewarding the shareholders through profit distribution.　Based on this belief, the Company has established a shareholder return policy of aiming for a cumulative total payout ratio of 70% or more in the five years from FY2025 and has implemented and considered flexible share repurchases and dividend increases based on a comprehensive assessment of performance and other factors. As a result, the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 is expected to total 50.2 billion yen, or 7.30 yen per share. While the Company has formerly maintained a policy of stable dividend payments, from the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, onward, it will shift to a policy of paying dividends in line with profit growth. Under this policy, the Company plans to set the year-end dividend for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 at 11.00 yen per share, as announced in the "Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026 [IFRSs]" disclosed on May 8, 2026.
