The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased in flavors in Japan and Europe and in fragrances in Europe, Southeast Asia and China. Operating profit declined as the gross profit margin fell, mainly due to higher raw material prices, while selling, general and administrative expenses increased as the sales and administrative structure was strengthened. Ordinary profit improved as foreign exchange gains and losses on foreign-currency-denominated receivables improved from a loss in the previous period to a gain in the current period. Net income improved due to the increase in ordinary profit.
