The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Trading in Outer, Semiconductor, Chemical, and Hobby & Life increased. Operating profit benefited from the absence of the allowance for doubtful accounts recorded in the same period of the previous year, as well as export sales and price revisions. However, earnings from some businesses are expected to moderate in the second half compared with the interim period.
