The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although the transfer of shares in consolidated subsidiaries in China and Hong Kong was expected to reduce revenue, advertising demand related to UNICORN, JANet, game apps and manga apps increased, while selling, general and administrative expenses were held in check. As a result, sales and profit are expected to exceed the previous forecasts. The dividend was increased due to the upward revision to the earnings forecast, the dividend policy targeting a DOE of 2% or more, and the commemorative dividend marking the 20th anniversary of the Company's listing.
