The reasons the company gives

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

Gross profit increased due to expanded domestic and overseas sales resulting from higher 1DAY supply, the effect of price increases, expansion of sales regions for orthokeratology-related products, and the weaker yen. In addition, operating profit increased as a result of reviewing the cost structure, including advertising and sales-promotion expenses.
