Consolidated and full-year earnings forecasts have also been revised upward, and net income is expected to be revised upward as a result of assuming a lower effective tax rate.\n\n### Shareholder Returns and Outlook\nThe dividend forecast has been increased to 80 yen per year (interim 40 yen, year-end 40 yen). Under a shareholder return policy that takes ROE and the capital adequacy ratio into account, we emphasize a balance between growth investment and stable dividends. While maintaining financial soundness, the company indicates it may consider additional returns depending on future performance trends.","jir_financial_highlights":"Ordinary Income (Consolidated): 56,000 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 47,500 million yen)\nInterim Net Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Consolidated): 44,000 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 32,000 million yen)\nInterim Earnings Per Share (Consolidated): 262.01 yen (Increased from previous forecast of 187.72 yen)\nOrdinary Income (Non-consolidated): 34,000 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 24,500 million yen)\nInterim Net Income (Non-consolidated): 28,500 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 17,000 million yen)\nInterim Earnings Per Share (Non-consolidated): 168.08 yen (Increased from previous forecast of 99.72 yen)\nOrdinary Income (Full Year: Consolidated): 56,000 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 47,500 million yen)\nNet Income Attributable to Owners of Parent (Full Year: Consolidated): 44,000 million yen (Increased from previous forecast of 32,000 million yen)\nEarnings Per Share (Full Year: Consolidated): 262.01 yen (Increased from previous forecast of 187.72 yen)\nDividend Forecast (Annual): 80 yen (Increased from previous forecast of 60 yen (interim 40 yen, year-end 40 yen))","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#SurugaBank, #EarningsForecastRevision, #DividendIncrease","jir_key_figures":"Ordinary Income (Consolidated): 56,000 million yen\nInterim Net Income (Consolidated): 44,000 million yen\nInterim Earnings Per Share: 262.01 yen\nAnnual Dividend: 80 yen","jir_meta_title":"Suruga Bank Ltd.
