The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

The earnings base is expected to strengthen and business performance is expected to expand following the acquisition of 株式会社WITHホールディングス as a wholly owned subsidiary. Although the payout ratio for the current fiscal year is expected to exceed 100% due to one-off M&A-related expenses, the company states that its underlying cash flow generation capacity and financial soundness have been significantly strengthened.
