2. Reason
Regarding returns to shareholders, the Company's basic policy is to maintain stable dividends while taking into account operating performance when deciding on dividends each year. Also, we are committed to improving capital efficiency through the implementation of share buybacks. In accordance with this policy, we chose to raise dividend payments by 0.50 yen per share from the planned dividend of 8.50 yen per share, to 9.00 yen per share. This raise was decided in consideration of a comprehensive view of the Company's full-year operating results and financial situation.
