The reasons the company gives

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

The primary factors were increased revenue in all 3 businesses and an improvement in the cost ratio resulting from higher plant utilization and changes in the product mix. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased mainly due to costs associated with the withdrawal from the health food business, but remained at planned levels. The revisions to the full-year forecasts reflect the projected revenue of the pharmaceuticals and chemicals businesses and the projected costs of withdrawing from the health food business.
