The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The upward revision was attributed to the strong first-half results, the contribution from ZWEI in the company-owned store business, and improved performance at IBJ on a standalone basis and across the group. The dividend increase reflects the upward revision to the full-year earnings forecast and efforts to enhance shareholder returns.
