The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In Japan, demand for orthodontic treatment remained solid, supported by growing aesthetic awareness and the wider adoption of preventive healthcare, while aligner orthodontics increased the number of new patients. Product revenue was driven by 3D printer-related products, while overseas revenue benefited from increased orders from the United States and new orders from the euro area. Operating profit benefited from higher gross profit and a lower SG&A-to-revenue ratio. Ordinary profit was affected by higher interest income, an increase in non-operating income and a decrease in foreign exchange losses.
