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.Growth in gross profit from higher revenue, lower advertising and promotional expenses following the completion of the large-scale advertising and promotional investment made in the prior fiscal year, and the elimination of temporary expenses and duplicate payments associated with the headquarters and warehouse relocation carried out in the prior fiscal year contributed to higher profit. Meanwhile, trends in demand and sluggish growth in new customer acquisition were cited as reasons for missing the plan.
