Revenue increased due to firm performance by beverage flavorings in Southeast Asia and Europe, strong flavoring sales for fabric-care products in Southeast Asia, growth in synthetic flavor intermediates, and the weaker yen. However, profit declined due to higher SG&A expenses at European subsidiaries and elsewhere, increased manufacturing expenses and fixed costs related to the new plant, and the elimination of unrealized gains on intra-group transactions.

The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Flavorings for beverages remained firm in Southeast Asia and Europe, while flavorings for fabric-care products in Southeast Asia and synthetic flavor intermediates also grew. The weaker yen also contributed to higher revenue. However, SG&A expenses increased at European subsidiaries and elsewhere, manufacturing expenses and fixed costs related to the new plant rose, and profit declined due in part to the elimination of unrealized gains on intra-group transactions.
