The reasons the company gives

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

Strong demand for data centers accompanying the spread of AI led to solid performance in HDD-related components and equipment, as well as data center-related products. In the trading business, structural transformation costs recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year were no longer incurred in the current period.
