The reasons the company gives

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

The factors cited were sluggish customer visits due to low temperatures and heavy rainfall in the Kanto region, a delayed end to the rainy season, prolonged rain and flooding, intensified competition in areas where サンモール operates, higher procurement costs amid rising prices, a decline in gross profit accompanying lower revenue, M&A-related costs, and higher labor costs and rent at サンモール. At the same time, the company said it secured its first-half operating profit forecast of ¥170 million by controlling costs such as procurement costs.
