The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.As a result of raising funds through preferred shares and subordinated loans during the process of overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic, the equity ratio remains low, while capital carrying high dividend and interest costs is weighing on earnings attributable to common shareholders. The Company aims to optimize its capital structure and directly link the expansion of earnings from its core business to growth in common shareholder value.
