Dialogue with Shareholders and Investors

Policy on dialogue with shareholders

  • We recognize that constructive dialogue with shareholders is important for our sustainable growth and the enhancement of corporate value over the medium to long term. We continue to develop measures and mechanisms to encourage such constructive dialogue.
  • Through IR activities overseen by the director in charge of the Corporate Planning Division, we strive to communicate NX Group management strategies and policies clearly for a better understanding of who we are and what we do.

Initiatives incorporating major matters of shareholder and investor feedback received through dialogues

We hold dialogues with investors in a variety of ways. The topics of interest in these dialogues range from an overview of financial results, business outlook, trends in the logistics market and business environment, management strategy, profit improvement, M&A strategy, and shareholder returns. We communicate the feedback received from these dialogues to the Board of Directors to reflect this information in management.
As an example of specific dialogue feedback incorporated in this manner, we added information as supplementary materials to our financial results briefing based on questions about business trends, particularly trends affecting our air and ocean freight forwarding businesses. We began disclosing Japan and Overseas Segment Air Export Freight Forwarding Business Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin in our presentation materials for the second quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and Gross Profit per TEU for Japan/Overseas Segment Outbound Ocean Export Freight Forwarding in our presentation materials the first quarter for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. We believe these added disclosures provide a deeper understanding of our business.
