Basic policy for profit allocation

It is to stably increase dividends to shareholders in accordance with business performance, investment plan and other aspects. As for the distribution of profits to shareholders, Terumo has been aiming to steadily increase its dividend payouts to shareholders with the target dividend payout ratio of 30% in the mid to long-term.
In order to ensure a stable increase in its dividend payouts and to flexibly return profits to shareholders through acquisition of its own shares, Terumo has decided to aim for a total payout ratio* of around 50% during the 5-Year Growth Strategy (GS26).
