The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased, and for the three months from July to September alone, profitability improved as a result of revenue growth and control of selling, general and administrative expenses. SG&A expenses decreased by ¥13 million from the previous quarter through greater efficiency in advertising and promotion expenses and recruitment and training expenses. The company stated that it had not disclosed full-year forecasts for operating profit, ordinary profit and net profit because it is difficult to reasonably estimate the timing and amount of one-time M&A-related expenses.
