The reasons the company gives

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

In the Solutions business, higher logistics outsourcing volumes, improved warehouse utilisation and a lower allowance for doubtful accounts burden in payment processing contributed to results. In the e-commerce business, the streamlining of unprofitable operations progressed. Interim net income was also affected by an extraordinary loss in the year-earlier period and an extraordinary gain in the first quarter of the current fiscal year.
