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 department store and SC businesses performed strongly in the first half, but business profit declined due to the closure of sales floors at the Daimaru Umeda store and a decline following the boost from Expo-related sales. Full-year operating profit was reduced to reflect costs associated with closing the Daimaru Shimonoseki store and other factors.
