The reasons the company gives

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

Premium Benefits Club benefited from higher sales of shareholder benefit points to existing customers, new orders and higher average customer spending. The increase in gross profit from higher revenue absorbed the decline in profit from the advertising business and higher personnel expenses, while management streamlining following the absorption-type merger of a consolidated subsidiary also contributed. In sustainability solutions, projects including integrated reports shifted to the second half, while the advertising business reported lower revenue.
