The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Regarding the dividend, the company explained that it has already introduced a progressive dividend policy and plans to pay an annual dividend of ¥40. In light of profit levels excluding one-off factors and an equity ratio of 38.7%, it is necessary to balance dividends with capital expenditures, research and development investment, M&A, and retained earnings to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, and further dividend increases should therefore be restrained. Regarding the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation, the company stated that there are already no restrictions on director qualifications based on gender or nationality, and that the matter should be addressed through flexible operation based on circumstances rather than by amending the Articles of Incorporation.
