The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Under the shareholder return policy, the Company will use EPS before amortization of goodwill as an indicator of the source of dividends. Although goodwill amortization expenses are expected to reduce consolidated net income and EPS, they do not involve cash outlays. The dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 was determined after comprehensively considering the securing of funds for growth investments and the stabilization of the financial base through the repayment of interest-bearing debt, among other factors.
