or 483.41 yen per share, higher than 305.804 billion yen or 431.61 yen per

ago.

For the full year, the company plans to pay an annual cash dividend of 200 yen
per share, comprising a year-end cash dividend of 100 yen per share and an
interim cash dividend of 100 yen per share.

Looking ahead, for the full-year 2024, Bridgestone expects a net profit of 359
billion yen or 524.35 yen per basic share, a growth of 8.4 percent from last
