The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although consolidated full-year results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 exceeded the earnings forecast announced on 2 March 2026, the Company decided to leave its proposed year-end dividend at ¥50 per share and its proposed annual dividend at ¥96 per share, taking into account the uncertainty over the outlook arising from the current situation in the Middle East.
