The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company took these factors into comprehensive consideration in order to enhance shareholder returns under its progressive dividend policy: the fact that the share buyback did not reach its maximum amount, leaving additional distributable funds; consideration of a sustainable level of shareholder returns in anticipation of the voluntary adoption of IFRS; and steady performance in the fiscal year ending March 2027, which provided a certain degree of confidence in progress toward the full-year earnings outlook.
