The reasons the company gives

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

The stated reasons include strong performance in processed foods and imported meat, product design that captures consumer needs, improved product strength and proposal capabilities, and increased supply capacity resulting from the conversion of オサベフーズ into a subsidiary. SG&A expenses increased due to personnel expenses, logistics costs, and goodwill amortization, among other factors, but the increase in gross profit more than offset this rise.
