The reasons the company gives

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

Gross profit increased due to higher resale revenue, the effect of yen depreciation, and G-gen's acquisition of a partner fund. SG&A expenses increased mainly because of personnel-related costs, but the resolution of unprofitable projects incurred in the previous fiscal year also contributed to improved profitability.
