The reasons the company gives

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

Higher value-added oral healthcare products and services progressed in Japan and overseas, the newly consolidated companies in Vietnam and Australia contributed, and changes in the business portfolio mix contributed to higher gross profit. In Japan, selling, general and administrative expenses increased as the Company made proactive investments in advertising and promotion, mainly in oral healthcare.
