These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Sales were supported by the points bonus event held from 16 to 25 October, 1 more Saturday than in the same month a year earlier, and solid sales of certain food products and staple items. On the other hand, winter merchandise performed poorly due to the high temperatures, while sales also faced the effects of a pullback from prior-year demand for government-stockpiled rice and rush demand ahead of the liquor tax revision.
