The reasons the company gives

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

Demand for high-performance heat sinks is increasing against the backdrop of growth in the generative AI market and the higher heat generation of data centers. Water cooling provides high cooling performance, and demand for data center applications is expected to grow substantially going forward. The company will therefore increase production capacity to meet this demand.
