The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The decision reflects the dividend policy of using a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% as the basic benchmark, the fact that net income attributable to owners of the parent exceeded the published earnings forecast, and a comprehensive consideration of returns to shareholders and retained earnings, as well as the 100th anniversary of the founding of the core operating company.
