The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.On the profit front, tax optimization associated with the group restructuring boosted net income. The company also cited growth in the B2B business, the sale of the vehicle and other businesses, debt reduction and a reduction in equity, and the normalization of its earnings structure through impairment charges. It said the review of its dividend policy was intended to balance growth investment and shareholder returns, taking into account the stability of its earnings base and its future earnings outlook.
