Items this document does not state (7)
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.The company identified lower revenue and M&A transactions as factors reducing profit. Conversely, an improved gross profit margin, lower selling, general and administrative expenses, and improved profitability at エクスプライス contributed to higher profit. At existing stores, the company cited the pullback in demand for disaster-prevention and crime-prevention products, the impact of higher temperatures on demand for summer products, and the leap-year effect.
