The reasons the company gives

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

The cleaning business struggled amid rising prices driven by the situation in the Middle East and households' preference for saving, but revenue increased due to steady demand from corporate customers, new hotel openings, hotel renovations and reopenings, and revisions to transaction prices. Operating profit declined due to lower gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, while net income increased following the recognition of approximately ¥1.1 billion in gains on the sale of fixed assets.
