Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions from investors.

Company

What is the origin of the company name?

The company name "Howtelevision" was given because, in the early days of its founding, it operated a business that shared knowledge (know-how) through video distribution on YouTube.
However, monetization was difficult in the social environment of 2010, and the new graduate service, which was offered concurrently, achieved monetization first and expanded its business (YouTube was launched in 2005, and the first iPhone was released in 2007. At that time, 3G feature phones were mainstream, and there were no professional YouTubers).
Furthermore, the mission "Unlock the full potential of all humanity and change the world," which has been pursued since the company's founding through knowledge sharing using technology, has been consistently common across all services provided by the Company and continues to this day. For the founding story and corporate philosophy, please refer to here.

When was the company established?

February 9, 2010.

Stock Information

When was the company listed?

We were listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on April 24, 2019.

What is your listing market and stock code?

On February 2, 2026, we changed our market segment and are currently listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Standard Market, with securities code 7064.

What is the trading unit for shares?

100 shares.

Who is the Shareholder Registry Administrator?

Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Limited.

What is your dividend policy?

While we recognize the return of profits to shareholders as one of our important management priorities, the possibility and timing of dividend payments are yet to be determined at this time.
In the future, we plan to implement a return of profits to shareholders, taking into consideration our operating results and financial condition at each point in time.

Furthermore, our company is currently in a growth phase, maintaining an ROE (Return on Equity) of 30% or higher, and possesses abundant investment opportunities with the potential to lead to high profit growth. For business investments, we are raising funds through debt, among other methods, and our capital demand remains strong.
Therefore, at this time, we believe that enhancing internal reserves and maximizing corporate value through further business expansion, achieved by stabilizing and diversifying our revenue base and making new investments, will ultimately lead to a return of profits to shareholders.

In other words, as a company with significant growth potential, we believe that capital gains, rather than income gains, form the core of our stock value at this stage of our company's development.

What is your policy on stock splits?

If our stock price consistently trades above the 1,000 yen level, we will consider implementing a stock split as a measure to improve liquidity.

Article 445 of the Securities Listing Regulations states that the desirable investment unit is less than 500,000 yen. Furthermore, on April 24, 2025, the Tokyo Stock Exchange issued a request to set the minimum investment unit at 100,000 yen or less (Notice to Representatives of Listed Companies, TSE Stock General No. 138).

Since our trading unit (number of shares per unit) is 100 shares, a minimum investment unit of 100,000 yen corresponds to a stock price of 1,000 yen. Therefore, if the stock price consistently trades above 1,000 yen, we will consider a stock split.
