The reasons the company gives

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

The main factors were the profit contribution from the Creator & Athlete business, strong performance by IRIS, improved profitability in Asia excluding China and South Korea, and the normalization of profitability in North America's direct-sales business. For the full year, the company explained that increased profits from the Product, Creator & Athlete and North American businesses would offset lower gross profit in the Video and Connected TV areas and the absence of investment business income.
