Relationship with Shareholders
EIZO is committed to building long-term trust and value with shareholders and investors through proactive, transparent, and inclusive engagement. We provide timely and comprehensive disclosures to support informed decision-making and prioritize two-way communication. This leads to a deeper understanding of our company, sustainable growth, and long-term value creation.
Ensuring Transparent and Accessible Disclosure
At EIZO, we see investor engagement as a two-way dialogue and believe transparency and accessibility are the foundation of trust. To ensure fair and timely communication with all stakeholders, we disclose financial information simultaneously in Japanese and English. Our Integrated Report is also published in both languages, offering a clear and comprehensive overview of our financial results, business strategy, and ESG initiatives. In addition to statutory disclosures, we are strengthening communication with global investors by expanding English-language resources on our IR website, including presentation materials, reports, and archived briefings. These efforts are part of our commitment to removing barriers and making EIZO more accessible to long-term shareholders worldwide.

Turning Engagement into Value
Feedback from shareholders and institutional investors provides valuable input that supports EIZO’s governance processes. When appropriate, this input is shared with the Board of Directors and relevant management to inform decisions on strategy, capital policy, and ESG initiatives. Following feedback from long-term institutional investors during FY2024 IR meetings, we expanded disclosures on our capital allocation policy and R&D investment priorities, which were then reflected in the FY2024 Consolidated Financial Highlights, public disclosures (e.g., Initiatives Improving Capital Profitability, May 2025), and the Integrated Report.
We value enduring relationships with investors who share our commitment to precision, long-term thinking, and responsible innovation, principles that define both our business and our culture.
Driving Constructive Engagement and Strategic Dialogue
Engaging with shareholders and investors is not compliance; it is a source of insight that shapes our long-term direction and strengthens our commitment to sustainable value creation. We regularly hold results briefings, site tours, and one-on-one meetings with investors in Japan and overseas. Dialogues with investors help us refine our capital strategy, sharpen our R&D focus, and ensure our sustainability efforts are aligned with long-term stakeholder priorities.
We also maintain a dedicated IR website to facilitate timely, independent analysis and ongoing engagement by providing essential updates and resources for global stakeholders. In parallel, we are enhancing our disclosure practices in line with global standards such as TCFD and CSRD, reflecting our intent to strengthen transparency, build mutual understanding, and support informed investment decisions.

Basic Policy on Profit Distribution to Shareholders
We state that our key management objective is to achieve sustainable growth through business expansion and performance improvement, while maintaining financial soundness and providing returns to shareholders. On the basis of an overall consideration of securing sufficient retained profit for capital investment and R&D expenditure necessary for business expansion, financial status, and future performance , we have set a target level of shareholder return ratio (total payout ratio) at 70% of consolidated net income. We will dynamically determine the shareholder return ratio for each fiscal year, based on our business performance and environment and capital needs. To stay abreast of a rapidly changing economic environment and technological innovation, we will use retained earnings to implement measures in the mid-term business plan, strengthen our business model, including M&A, and invest for future growth, and also make strategic inventory investments that take advantage of our strength in stable long-term supply. Through these measures, we aim to substantially increase corporate value through business expansion and performance improvement while distributing the results to shareholders.
