The reasons the company gives

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

The reasons for higher revenue and higher operating profit were strong performance across the logistics business, the consolidation of 澁澤ワールドトランスポート, improved utilization rates at each location, and progress in securing appropriate prices. For interim net profit, the company cited the recognition of a gain on the transfer of logistics facilities and the accelerated sale of cross-held shares as factors contributing to the increase in profit.
