The reasons the company gives

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

The main drivers of the revenue increase were higher productivity at directly operated branches in the insurance agency business, steady sales performance, and an increase in PV sales resulting from higher insurance policy persistency through policy maintenance activities. The improvement in interim net income was attributed in part to a decrease in extraordinary losses. The corrections to prior-period results were attributed to inappropriate accounting practices involving advertising transactions and the capitalization of software, among other matters.
