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.

Demand increased due to the sticker boom and a naphtha shortage caused by the situation in the Middle East, resulting in same-store sales in the 100-yen shop business reaching 104.4% of the year-earlier period. On the earnings front, the company maintained its gross profit margin at the same level as in the year-earlier period by optimizing its product mix to increase the sales mix of high-priced products and enhancing suppliers' proposals for products with strong price competitiveness.
