Full-year forecasts were also raised for both sales and profits. Interim dividend is revised to 87 yen and the year-end dividend to 136 yen, bringing the annual dividend to 223 yen. The payout ratio is raised to 30%, with six consecutive years of dividend increases planned.\n\n### Outlook and Shareholder Returns\nThe upward revision to the full-year outlook reflects the steady execution of price pass-through measures and the strong results in the first half. The mid-term management plan 'YX2026' aims to deepen existing businesses while pursuing new value, balancing structural strengthening with growth investments. With the increases in interim and year-end dividends, the annual dividend will significantly exceed the previous year's levels. While uncertainties remain, the company expects a steady earnings trajectory going forward.","jir_financial_highlights":"Sales\/Revenue: 639,397 million yen (YoY not disclosed, revised upward from previous forecast 610,000 million yen)\nOperating profit (segment): 95,846 million yen (previous forecast 75,000 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nOperating profit: 109,699 million yen (previous forecast 86,000 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent: 72,578 million yen (previous forecast 45,000 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nBasic earnings per share: 461.62 yen (previous forecast 286.25 yen \u2192 upward revision)\nSales\/Revenue (full-year): 1,320,000 million yen (previous forecast 1,300,000 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nOperating profit (full-year): 192,500 million yen (previous forecast 188,000 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nOperating profit (full-year): 199,500 million yen (previous forecast 191,500 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nNet income (full-year): 117,000 million yen (previous forecast 109,000 million yen \u2192 upward revision)\nBasic earnings per share (full-year): 744.11 yen (previous forecast 693.36 yen \u2192 upward revision)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#YokohamaRubber, #InterimResults, #DividendIncrease","jir_key_figures":"Sales\/Revenue: 639,397 million yen (upward revision)\nOperating profit: 109,699 million yen (upward revision)\nNet income attributable to owners of parent: 72,578 million yen (upward revision)","jir_meta_title":"Yokohama Rubber Co.
