The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

First-half operating profit exceeded the plan due to shifts in the timing of revenue recognition, including earlier-than-planned sales, improved profitability of properties sold, above-plan performance in the real estate operations business and サンクス沖縄, and underspending on selling, general and administrative expenses. The full-year forecast was left unchanged because deliveries are concentrated in the second half and include properties currently under negotiation, requiring a cautious assessment of the likelihood of sales.
