The reasons the company gives

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

Net sales increased due to higher demand for environment- and energy-related products, toiletries-related products and products for health foods, selling price revisions in response to higher raw material and fuel prices, and the recognition of revenue from certain transactions related to initial costs for early equipment deployment in the explosives business. In the pharmaceutical, medical and healthcare business, net sales and operating income declined because most shipments of DDS pharmaceutical formulation materials are expected in the second half of the fiscal year.
