The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to higher demand for metalworking machinery, electrical equipment and cylinders; increased demand for coating materials for PC and smartphone accessories; stronger semiconductor-related demand; and increased demand for refurbished products. The main reason for the increases in ordinary profit and interim net profit was the recording of a foreign exchange gain in the current interim period, compared with a foreign exchange loss in the same period of the previous year.
