The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.This is based on the basic policy of prioritizing stable and continuous returns to shareholders while taking into account retained earnings needed for future business development and the strengthening of the management base. Although operating profit and interim net profit for the current interim period fell below the same period of the previous fiscal year due to higher costs and weather impacts, the dividend policy remains unchanged and the company plans to pay the dividend as forecast most recently.
