The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Revenue grew as the number of domestic stores increased and product sales expanded. The main factors behind the decline in operating profit were a higher cost ratio due to rising raw material prices, development costs for new overseas areas, and increased personnel expenses resulting from base-pay increases and other factors.
