DENSO's basic dividend policy is to maintain a stable dividend payment, taking into consideration various aspects, such as financial performance and dividend ratio. The dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012, was 'Undecided' due to the unclear affects of the Great East Japan Earthquake. After comprehensive consideration of business conditions, the company has decided on the interim dividend and the revision to the year-end dividend forecast as above.
