The reasons the company gives

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

Higher orders in Creative & Engineering and the consolidation effects of MIXSENSE and グローバルギア contributed to higher revenue. Gross profit margin recovered after unprofitable projects ended in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, and operating profit increased as the rise in gross profit exceeded the increase in SG&A expenses.
