The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The increase in the dividend was decided in light of performance for the fiscal year ending March 2026 and the previous shareholder return policy, which used a total payout ratio of 30% to 35% as a guideline. In addition, with the launch of the 12th Medium-Term Management Plan, the policy was changed to further enhance shareholder returns, taking into consideration the balance between maintaining financial soundness and investing in earnings and growth.
