The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Information and Communications business remains strong, and revenue is expected to exceed the previous forecast. However, after incorporating the impact of revising the assumed exchange rate for the second half from ¥160/USD to ¥156/USD and other factors, operating profit and ordinary profit are expected to fall below the previous forecasts. Net income attributable to owners of the parent has not been changed. The dividend revision reflects the shareholder return policy of targeting a dividend payout ratio of 40%, based on the basic policy of the 2028 medium-term management plan.
