These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Demand related to generative AI is expected to expand, prompting semiconductor device manufacturers to increase capital investment in high-performance devices and in DRAM and Logic applications. As a result, equipment sales are expected to substantially exceed the initial forecast. The dividend was increased because earnings are expected to exceed the initial assumptions and in accordance with the basic policy of targeting a consolidated payout ratio of approximately 20% to 30%.
