The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.For FY2026, the year-end dividend was increased based on the full-year results and other information announced today. For FY2027, the Company will implement a ¥3 special dividend because it expects to be able to provide greater shareholder returns by revising its shareholder return policy to a consolidated payout ratio of at least 50% and consolidated DOE of at least 3.0%, while proceeding with the sale of strategic shareholdings.
