The reasons the company gives

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

In addition to strong performance in the domestic medical equipment market, the U.S. water treatment market, and the semiconductor and LCD markets in China, South Korea and Taiwan, revenue benefited from the foreign-exchange translation impact of the yen's depreciation. The cost of sales ratio declined as inventory was optimized in line with revenue growth, and operating profit increased due to the effect of higher revenue and other factors.
