The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Profit increased as all 3 businesses reported higher revenue, supported by ongoing appropriate adjustments to product selling prices, lower raw material prices and productivity improvement initiatives. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to recruitment costs, personnel expenses and other costs associated with strengthening the workforce, but this was absorbed by higher gross profit and other factors.
