The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company cited strong sales of ジェーソン original (private-brand) products, improved procurement conditions for JV products and other items, and the addition of sales from subsidiary サンモール as factors behind the increase in revenue. Although expenses such as personnel costs and rent increased, the company said that the improvement in gross margin resulting from increased procurement of JV products offset a portion of the higher expenses.
