The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Gross profit increased due to the higher proportion of the high-margin Family Care business and growth in the Educare business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to semi-variable costs associated with business growth, strategic spending on management and planning functions and the strengthening of DX, AI and security, as well as temporary recruitment, research and office renovation costs. In addition, the Educare business was affected by differences in the timing of recording costs for improving employee compensation compared with the previous year, while the Professional business was affected by a shift in the timing of training.
