Investor Relations

  1. Purpose and Basic Policy of IR Activities

    The Hoshizaki Group (hereinafter referred to as “the Group”) conducts IR (Investor Relations) activities to provide fair and timely information to shareholders and investors. By accurately communicating business performance, financial information, management strategies, and business activities, the Group aims to achieve transparent management and build long-term, trusting relationships with shareholders and investors.

  2. Standards for Information Disclosure

    In addition to periodically publishing financial results (including quarterly results), the Group promptly discloses “other important facts” that require disclosure in accordance with predetermined procedures. The Group also discloses other information that is deemed useful for understanding the Group’s business operations.

  3. Methods of Information Disclosure

    Information disclosed by the Group is released through registration on the Timely Disclosure Network (TDnet) and published on the Group’s IR website (“IR Information,” hereinafter referred to as the “IR Site”) to ensure fairness. Even for information not subject to the timely disclosure rules, the Group strives to disclose it appropriately in accordance with the purpose of such rules.

  4. Forward-Looking Statements

    Some of the information posted on the IR Site may include “forward-looking statements.” These statements are based on information currently available to the Group and on assumptions deemed reasonable. However, because such judgments and assumptions involve various risks and uncertainties by nature, actual business results or corporate value may differ significantly. Therefore, we ask that investors refrain from relying solely on these forward-looking statements when making decisions.

  5. Response to Market Rumors

    As a general rule, the Group does not comment on market rumors unless it is clear that the Group is the source of the rumor. However, if it is determined that a rumor may have or has had a significant impact on the market, or if requested by stock exchanges or other authorities, the Group will take appropriate action after consultation with responsible departments.

  6. Silent Period

    To prevent leaks of financial information and ensure fairness, the Group designates the period from the day following the end of each quarterly accounting period until the announcement of the financial results as a “silent period.” During this time, the Group refrains from making comments, answering questions, or responding to interviews regarding financial results. However, if a significant difference is expected between the forecasted and actual results during the silent period, the Group will make appropriate disclosures in accordance with relevant regulations.
