To achieve our aggressive long-term growth targets and increase XEBIO's corporate value, returning earnings to our shareholders is one of our most important management issues.
Our basic policy is to establish sound long-term management base that appropriately returns profits to our shareholders, while improving our internal reserves at the same time.
We are predicting a total dividend of 30 yen (interim and year-end dividend of 15 yen each) for the year ending in March 2009.
To overcome the increasingly competitive business climate and attain stable long-term growth and financial strength, XEBIO is committed to:
| 1) invest in building new stores, renovating and expanding existing retail outlets, and expanding retail space |
| 2) invest in developing new products to accurately meet diverse consumer demands |
| 3) invest in information systems to increase management efficiency |
We are doing everything in our power to grow and expand a stable management base.
