The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The year-end dividend will be increased because net income for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is expected to exceed the forecast, based on a policy targeting both a dividend on equity (DOE) of at least 3.0% and a payout ratio of approximately 35%, with the aim of improving capital efficiency. The interim dividend is being introduced to provide shareholders with more opportunities to receive returns of profits.
