The reasons the company gives

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

Operating profit decreased due to the use of inventory purchased when cocoa bean prices were near historical highs, persistently high prices for key raw materials, a higher cost-of-sales ratio, and increases in labor and energy costs. Ordinary profit increased due to higher dividend income and gains on sales of investment securities, while interim net income attributable to owners of the parent increased due in part to the recording of ¥1,588 million in gains on sales of investment securities as extraordinary income.
