The reasons the company gives

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

Higher sales volumes, improved selling prices and mix, the tailwind from yen depreciation, the new product and multi-brand strategy, and the effects of restructuring and reorganization contributed to higher revenue and profit. These benefits were partly offset by higher raw material costs and the impact of U.S. tariff costs.
