The reasons the company gives

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

The factors were expanded business and higher sales volumes, pull-forward demand, particularly among group companies operating online sales businesses, higher selling prices following price revisions by film and bag manufacturers, and a lower SG&A ratio. The sale of real estate also contributed to net income. The full-year forecasts were left unchanged because, given the uncertainty surrounding the outlook for crude oil-derived raw material prices and fuel costs, the Company considered a reasonable revision difficult.
