The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The main factors were increased sales to overseas customers, higher sales to Japanese customers at domestic stores, and sales growth resulting from the increase in the number of stores. Quarterly profit also benefited from the reversal of the one-off increase in income tax expense recorded in the year-earlier period.
