The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Profit was boosted by greater in-house production, contributions from new group companies acquired through M&A, the expansion of new businesses such as the environmental and BPO businesses, and lower depreciation and lease expenses. On the other hand, profit was weighed down by higher personnel, labor and raw material costs, M&A-related expenses, and the decline in revenue resulting from changes in order trends.
