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.Higher revenue at existing stores and stores opened in the previous fiscal year, new store openings, and strong performance by subsidiaries such as カインドオル lifted revenue and profit. In addition, the gross profit margin improved as a result of price controls for winter merchandise inventory, changes to the purchase coupon program, and greater precision in selling-price controls.
