Stock Info1. Dividend Policy
JAL regards shareholder returns as one of our most important management matters. Our fundamental policy is to actively implement shareholder returns through continuous and stable dividends and flexible share repurchases, while securing internal reserves for making investments for corporate growth in the future and changing business environments and to build a strong financial structure.
Our shareholder return policy for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 and the following years is as follows:
In order to maintain a stable dividend level despite the upcoming effective tax rate increase, JAL will decide the dividend per share level, considering its continuity, stability and predictability with reference to a payout ratio of approximately 35%. In addition, JAL will proactively and flexibly consider share repurchases, considering its financial position and other factors. As a result, JAL seeks to achieve a total payout ratio, which combines the total dividends paid out and the total amounts of the share repurchases, of an approximately 35% to 50% range through appropriately sharing periodic profits and allocating capitals among all of its stakeholders.
At the same time, JAL continuously strives to improve capital efficiency through monitoring a total return on equity ratio, which is calculated by dividing the sum of total dividends paid out and share repurchases by shareholders’ equity. JAL makes its efforts to maintain this ratio at approximately 3% or above.
As a result, JAL pays a year-end dividend of 55 yen per share for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. The annual dividend will be 110 yen per share, including the interim dividend of 55 yen per share. The dividend forecast in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020 is 110 yen per share, with the estimated interim dividend of 55 yen.
JAL will continuously strive to increase capital efficiency and maintain stable shareholder return.
