Items this document does not state (4)
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.Strong sales and a higher gross margin drove an increase in gross profit. The main factors were the higher revenue and profit contributions from existing stores and stores opened in the previous fiscal year, the contribution from new store openings, and improved merchandise margins following changes to the purchase coupon program. Selling, general and administrative expenses were in line with the plan, and the SG&A ratio also declined due to the effect of higher revenue.
