• When is the annual shareholders' meeting?

  ボタン

  It is held in June every year. For details regarding the meeting, please refer to the notice which will be sent to our shareholders prior to the meeting.

• What is Sumitomo Pharma’s views on future dividends?

  ボタン

  The Company believes it important to distribute surpluses in an appropriate manner reflecting any improvement in its performance. Accordingly, a performance-linked dividend hike will be considered in addition to consistent dividend payout. 
  Pursuant to this fundamental policy, during the Mid-term Business Plan 2027 period, the Company will suspend dividends as negative core operating profit is forecasted for the year ending March 31, 2024 but will resume dividends for the year ending March 31, 2025 as core operating profit is expected to return to positive. A consistent dividend payout will be the aim thereafter. 

• When is the starting date of dividend payment?

  ボタン

  The term-end dividend is decided on March 31 each year, and its payment starts on the next business day following the annual shareholders' meeting.
  The interim dividend is decided on September 30 each year, and its payment starts on the first business day of December.
