The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.This was because deliveries and revenue recognition for orders received by the end of the previous fiscal year progressed smoothly in the packaging machinery business, while the company also captured demand from existing customers for equipment renewals. In packaging materials, the pass-through of higher raw material costs into selling prices progressed, and the revenue increase resulting from price revisions also contributed.
