The reasons the company gives

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

Production volumes increased 21% due to GBK's contribution to production, the start-up of NBK's new line and full production at the OBK2 plant. Revenue also increased as efforts to secure customers progressed. Increases in raw material and supply prices, labor costs, personnel expenses, logistics costs and M&A-related expenses were absorbed through cost reductions from higher sales, improved productivity and greater logistics efficiency. The materials do not explicitly state the reason for the decrease in net income.
