The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Under its policy of seeking stable dividends with a payout ratio of approximately 30% as a guideline, the company added a special dividend of ¥5 per share after achieving record-high profit for the second consecutive fiscal year in the fiscal year ending March 2026. The shareholding requirement for the shareholder benefits program was changed after considering the balance between dividends and the overall return provided through dividends and shareholder benefits, as the company strengthens direct returns to shareholders through dividends.
