The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Demand for products targeting AI-related markets, wet products and cosmetic products remained strong and steady. The company also cited orders scheduled for the fourth quarter that were received ahead of schedule by the end of the third quarter as a reason it expects results to exceed its previous forecasts. Meanwhile, payments for SG&A expenses scheduled through the third quarter were deferred to the fourth quarter.
