Our goal is to become &#8220;Innovation Convenience Store&#8221;, which provides &#8220;Eureka!&#8221; to the customers in the field of &#8220;Idea &#038; Solution design&#8221; and to become high-return company, which is trusted from customers.<\/p>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n    <!--dt><p>What is the target indicator?<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>The Advanex Group has set a medium-term target of operating margins greater than 10%. To maximize shareholder value, the Group\u2019s target for ROE is 15 % over the medium term. However, taking recent business performance, the Group reduces its operating margins down to 5% and strives to become profitable again.<\/p>\r\n    <\/dd-->\r\n    <dt><p>What is the policy about profit sharing?<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>One of our most important targets for the management is to realize the best profit sharing for shareholders. To maintain and strengthen the business base for the continuous growth of the company, we would like to keep the appropriate and stable dividend policy under the well balanced level for the retained earnings, and profit-sharing. The Company regrets that it will suspend the payment of annual dividends for the fiscal year ending March 2010, reflecting the business results. The company is undertaking various measures to streamline the group&#8217;s operations to tackle the worsening earnings environment and a rapid change in economic climate. The company will strive for the resumption of dividend payment as soon as possible by further improving the overall operating base including its financial strength.<\/p>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n    <dt><p>Please tell me about corporate governance.<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>Please refer to Corporate Governance.<\/p>\r\n      <a href=\"\/en\/company\/corporate-governance\/\">Corporate Governance<\/a>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n  <\/dl>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"mt20\" id=\"faq_finance\">About Financial and Accounting<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"mt10\">\r\n  <dl class=\"accordion_container\">\r\n    <dt><p>When is the accounting period?<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>It is from April 1st to March 31st.<\/p>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n    <dt><p>Where can I obtain financial data?<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>Please refer to Financial Results.<\/p>\r\n      <a href=\"\/en\/ir\/financial-results\/\">Financial Results<\/a>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n    <dt><p>When is announcement of financial results and Shareholder&#8217;s Meeting<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>Please refer to IR Calendar.<\/p>\r\n      <a href=\"\/en\/ir\/ir-calendar\/\">IR Calendar<\/a>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n    <dt><p>Where can I obtain past financial results?<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>Please refer to Financial Highlights.<\/p>\r\n      <a href=\"\/en\/ir\/achievement-highlights\/\">Financial Highlights<\/a>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n  <\/dl>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"mt20\" id=\"faq_stock\">About Stock<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"mt10\">\r\n  <dl class=\"accordion_container\">\r\n    <dt><p>Please tell me about composition of shareholders.<\/p><\/dt>\r\n    <dd>\r\n      <p>Please refer to Shareholders.<\/p>\r\n      <a href=\"\/en\/ir\/shareholders\/\">Shareholders<\/a>\r\n    <\/dd>\r\n  <\/dl>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frequently Asked Questions About Company About Management About Financial and Accounting About Stock About Company When was ADVANEX established?
