The reasons the company gives

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

The reasons cited for the increases in revenue and profit were higher volumes due to the impact of the situation in the Middle East, price revisions, strong overseas sales of liquid inks and UV inks, firm trends in materials for large displays and optical adhesives driven by demand related to sporting events, stable supply resulting from strengthened procurement, the shift to non-naphtha-based raw materials, and expanded overseas sales.
