Profit Distribution
Basic Policy for Profit Distribution
In order to ensure sustainable growth in corporate value, Takeda will continue to make strategic investments with the aim of enhancing its R&D pipeline in a way suitable to a Research & Development-driven global pharmaceutical company, and of improving its business infrastructure both in Japan and overseas. As for profit distribution, Takada plans to buy back shares as needed, in order to improve capital efficiency and further promote return to shareholders, taking into consideration its overall capital requirements, as well as the stable enhancement of the dividend payout ratio.
Takeda’s basic dividend policy, from a long-term perspective, is to maintain stable profit distribution that is appropriate to the company’s consolidated financial results. At the same time, we plan to gradually increase the consolidated dividend payout ratio, targeting around 45% (on earnings before amotization of intangible assets associated with acquisition on Millennium as a wholly owned subsidiary) in fiscal 2010, the final year of the 2006-2010 Medium-term Plan.
