The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In addition to capturing demand for special occasions at commercial facility restaurants in central Tokyo, the bakery and noodle businesses continued to perform well, and ロン社, which joined the Group through an M&A transaction, also contributed to revenue. On the profit side, contributions came from conversions and renovations to new formats, capturing demand at central Tokyo restaurants, and creating synergies through post-M&A integration.
