The reasons the company gives

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

For the fiscal year ended March 2026, production volume increased due to contributions from Oビバレッジ and the Gotemba Plant, as well as Nビバレッジ reaching full production capacity. Revenue also increased as efforts to secure sales channels progressed. The company explained that increases in logistics, labor and personnel costs were offset by higher revenue, productivity improvements and cost reductions including in-house bottle production. For the fiscal year ending March 2027, the company expects the start-up of 3 new lines, improvements in logistics costs, cost reductions and profit contributions from the vending machine business.
