The reasons the company gives

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

Domestic same-store sales increased 9.2%, while 30 directly operated stores opened in the previous fiscal year and Econos's 69 stores, which became subject to consolidation from the third quarter of the previous fiscal year, also contributed. On the earnings side, the effect of higher revenue lifted operating profit and ordinary profit, while a gain of ¥1,160 million on the sale of investment securities lifted interim net income.
