The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue growth was supported by additional sales from new store openings and higher same-store sales in the Ramen and Restaurant businesses. The gross profit margin improved against a backdrop of menu changes and a higher proportion of directly operated stores. In the previous corresponding period, taxes and dues increased based on the assumed application of size-based business taxation, while 2 stores were temporarily closed and listing-related expenses and share issuance costs were incurred.
