The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The hotel operations business can continuously generate cash through its asset-light model, while net income under Japanese GAAP appears lower than the Company's underlying earnings power and cash-generation capacity due to the impact of goodwill amortization and deferred income taxes. The policy was revised to more appropriately reflect the actual business performance in shareholder returns and further enhance shareholder returns.
