The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Based on the record of increasing dividends for 4 consecutive fiscal years from the fiscal year ended March 2023 through the fiscal year ending March 2026, progressive dividends based on the annual dividend were introduced to clarify the shareholder return policy for the remainder of the current medium-term management plan. In line with this policy change, the year-end dividend forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 was increased by ¥3 per share.
