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.In response to increasingly diverse preferences for women's apparel, the importance of seasonal responsiveness, and accelerating changes in social media and product trends, we need to propose products in a timely manner without leaving excess inventory. In light of the contraction of women's apparel sections in department stores, the shrinking bridal jewelry market, and rising precious metal prices, we will strengthen sales in China, e-commerce, rebranding, and fine jewelry.
