The reasons the company gives

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

Profit increased in the recycled metals business due to improved margins resulting from concerns over aluminium supply and tight supply and demand for minor metals; in the energy and lifestyle materials business, due to securing transaction volumes and margins; and at overseas sales subsidiaries, due in part to higher sales volumes in Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, forecasts for primary metals and Other were revised downward because of challenging business conditions and a decline in completed projects.
