The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue was driven by the H&B and pet categories, higher product prices, and exclusive and priority-distribution products. However, profits were weighed down by a decline in the gross profit margin due to higher center fees and rebates, increased SG&A expenses resulting from inflation and higher personnel and logistics costs, and higher interest expenses due to rising interest rates.
