Distribution of Profits

Basic Policy for Profit Distribution

Makita's basic policy on the distribution of profits is to maintain the total return ratio at 35% or greater, with a lower limit on annual cash dividends of 20 yen per share. However, in the event special circumstances arise, computation of the amount of dividends will be based on profit attributable to owners of the parent per share after certain adjustments. Of these, we will consider purchasing of treasury shares in view of stock price level and free cash flow and so on, in order to increase shareholder returns through the implementation of a flexible capital policy and improvement of capital efficiency.
We intend to use retained earnings to invest in environmental initiatives, which will become increasingly important, and to expand our business globally, while maintaining a financial structure that can withstand any changes in the business environment.
