The reasons the company gives

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

Because net sales, operating income, ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of the parent are expected to exceed the previous forecasts, due in part to an increase in railway transportation revenue. The dividend increase reflects the policy of gradually raising the dividend payout ratio to 40%, taking into account consolidated results and other factors.
