Shareholder Returns

Fundamental Policy for Distribution of Earnings

TDK recognizes that achieving increase in corporate value over the medium- and long-term ultimately translates into higher shareholder value. In line with this understanding, TDK’s fundamental policy is to work to consistently increase dividends through growth in earnings per share. In addition, since the start of Medium-term Plan from Fiscal 2025, TDK has adopted a shareholder return policy that aims for a dividend payout ratio of 35%. Under these policies, TDK actively reinvests its earning in business activities and determines its dividends taking into consideration comprehensive factors, including return on equity (ROE) and dividends on equity (DOE) on a consolidated basis, as well as changes in the business environment, among other factors.

TDK plans to pay a year-end dividend of ¥20 per common share, subject to approval at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders scheduled for June 19, 2026. Combined with the interim dividend of ¥16 per common share paid in December 2025, the planned dividend per common share applicable to the year will be ¥36.

TDK plans to pay an interim dividend of ¥20 per common share and a year-end dividend of ¥20 per common share respectively in FY March 2027.
