The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue benefited from the solid performance of the on-demand printing service and an increase in the number of transactions resulting from more aggressive marketing at originalprint.jp. On the profit side, results were affected by increased hiring, stepped-up advertising and promotional activities, and higher outsourced processing costs.
