The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company won major projects in the corporate education business, driving top-line growth, while productivity improvements lifted operating profit. The company also cited the decline in break-even sales resulting from cost optimisation measures implemented last year, as well as lower third-quarter expenses because growth investments were concentrated in the second half and thereafter, as factors behind the increase in operating profit.
