The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased, but the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses exceeded the increase in gross profit, resulting in lower operating income. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributed to higher cashless payment fees and promotional expenses at parent stores, among other factors, while the decline in ordinary income was attributed to higher non-operating expenses following a review of electronic payment settlement fees.
