The reasons the company gives

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

Improvements in production and vehicle costs, favorable foreign exchange rates, improved sales performance and disciplined cost management lifted operating income. In addition, a temporary benefit related to U.S. tariffs in fiscal 2025 contributed to the result. The sales volume outlook was lowered because the contraction in total industry volume in the Chinese market progressed faster than expected.
