The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Results were strong due to the consolidation effects of Ms.ID and ミツボシコーポレーション, health-related products and kitchen equipment-related services, accessories for sports shoes in Vietnam, and the ODM and OEM businesses. Operating income benefited from an improvement in gross profit, while personnel expenses and Ms.ID's selling-related expenses increased.
