The reasons the company gives

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

The main factors were the Products HR business significantly exceeding plan by capturing demand across the manufacturing sector, particularly in semiconductors, the newly consolidated nms Holdings, and support from the diversified business structure. Foreign exchange losses and some businesses falling short of plan were absorbed by higher operating profit from the core businesses.
