The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Net sales increased on growth in hand care, air care and fabric care. On the earnings front, gross profit declined due to higher raw material costs resulting from the impact of the situation in the Middle East. In addition, marketing expenses increased by ¥295 million because of the rebound from having held back on some TV advertising in the same quarter of the previous year and the airing of TV commercials for new products.
