The reasons the company gives

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

Higher domestic loan balances and a wider deposit-to-loan spread, fees related to LBO loans, capital gains on investment funds, referrals from Daiwa Securities Group, and fee income and net interest income at GMO Aozora Net Bank boosted results. Offsetting factors included lower overseas loan balances, tighter market credit spreads, and the disposal of legacy securities assets.
