The reasons the company gives

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

The revision reflects an increase in the number of operating months, strong performance at existing domestic stores, higher expenses such as amusement prize costs and the impact of exchange-rate movements. The full-year plan was revised to reflect first-half results and incorporate the impact of exchange-rate movements.
