Developing a new business with medical corporation
Our consolidated subsidiary, “Osaka Advanced Medical Imaging Center” has started to
cooperate with AILE HOME CLINIC NAGAOKA (in Nagaoka city, Niigata Prefecture, opened in October
2023), making the first such collaboration in Eastern Japan for remote imaging interpretation. AILE
HOME CLINIC NAGAOKA, operated by medical corporation MEDICAL BIT VALLEY, is positioned between
highly specialized hospitals and local personal clinics, contributing to the revitalization of
regional healthcare. The clinic introduced CT and jointly uses it with other local medical
institutions. Doctors, belonging to Radiology course of medical faculty in Osaka University and
having specialty in radiographic image interpretation, review pictures from the CT via Osaka
Advanced Medical Imaging Center. Due to the high cost of introduction, few medical institutions are
equipped with CTs, however through this effort, patients in Nagaoka can accept highly specialized
radiographic image interpretation in their hometown.
Our Group will continue to support the effort of MEDICAL BIT VALLEY to expand this initiative across
regional healthcare.

Dividend per share in FY ended March 2024 was 50 yen in total, including 45 yen of ordinary
dividends and 5 yen of commemorative dividends of 30th anniversary. The dividends were initially
planned to be 48 yen, however we decided on a 2-yen increase due to higher-than-expected net income
for the period.
Moving forward, we will continue to make it a basic policy to ensure retained earnings needed for
business development in the future and strengthen management foundation. Our basic policy is to
maintain a stable payout ratio of 30% or more, and to distribute profits which is commensurate with
the growth of performance.
