The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The DM and IP & Entertainment businesses performed well. Revenue in the DX business declined as the product mix shifted, while profitability improved. SG&A expenses increased 3.0% year on year due to higher personnel expenses following the consolidation of SALTO and increased outsourcing costs in strong-performing businesses, but operating profit increased, supported by improvements in the gross profit margin and other factors.
