The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The consolidation of キッズ・コーポレーション from the fourth quarter is expected to increase net sales by ¥500 million. Its negative ¥70 million contribution to operating income is expected to be more than offset by a ¥170 million increase from strong performance in the existing ワンキャリア business, resulting in a ¥100 million increase in consolidated operating income. The dividend was determined after comprehensively considering the upward revision to the full-year earnings forecast, earnings trends, and the policy of targeting a 30% payout ratio.
