The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.At existing stores, customer traffic remained sluggish due to unsettled weather, while the average spend per customer increased, primarily for bridal-related products. E-commerce was supported by steady performance on the company's own e-commerce site and a new store opening on ZOZOTOWN. The high-net-worth business benefited from active participation in events and sales of highly scarce products.
