Three pillars
1. Strengthening the management base (enhancement of human capital and governance)
Human capital is the foundation that supports the Group in its sustainable growth trajectory. Based on our human resource development policy, we will promote the growth of each and every employee and enhance the competitiveness of the entire organization by formulating and systematically carrying out the three components of our human resource strategy (ensuring a diverse pool of talent with a focus on new graduates; implementing a human resource development system that drives growth; and establishing a workplace environment where employees can work with peace of mind).
We will also continuously strengthen our governance system by appointing outside directors to the Board of Directors to constitute a majority and facilitating the separation of management supervision and implementation. In addition, the Group's asset management will be consolidated into KOEI TECMO CORPORATE FINANCE CO., LTD., which was newly established in April 2025, to enhance governance over investment functions and achieve optimal cash management. Through these initiatives, we will enhance management transparency and improve the quality of decision-making, thereby building a strong foundation for stable and sustainable growth.
2. Business strategy (entertainment business)
We will aim to achieve stable growth by implementing strategies optimized to the characteristics of each business field and the market environment. By strengthening the following four capabilities, we will further strengthen the earnings base for our entertainment business and enhance our presence in the global market.
(1) Capability to create: We will accurately comprehend market needs and create attractive global IPs.
(2) Capability to sell: We will actively enter global markets, including emerging markets, and expand our sales capabilities through marketing enhancement.
(3) Capability to utilize: By applying our IPs in a variety of areas besides games, we will create new earning opportunities.
(4) Capability to support: We will expand our development structure to enhance our pipeline and cost efficiency by improving the capabilities of creators and innovating our production processes using new technologies.
3. Cash allocation (growth-driving investment)
We will aim to further enhance our enterprise value by balancing business expansion through growth-driving investment and stable shareholder returns, specifically focusing on the following measures.
• Growth-driving investment: We will expand our investment in growth-driving items, such as those for the optimization of our development infrastructure and workplace environment, with a focus on human capital.
• Shareholder returns: We will pay dividends in a stable manner, based on our basic policy to achieve a consolidated annual total distribution ratio of 50% or an annual dividend of 50 yen per share. We have consistently upheld this policy since our business integration in 2009 (and even earlier since FY 2006 at Koei Co., Ltd.). We will aim to increase the total amount of dividends through growth in operating profit while continuously ensuring high shareholder returns.
We will strive to increase shareholder returns over the long term, while continuously improving our capital efficiency and profit-generating capability.
