The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the marketing support business, investments aimed at future growth, including expanding the range of brands handled, strengthening the workforce and upgrading the system infrastructure, were made ahead of schedule, temporarily reducing profit. The retail business was affected by fewer inbound visitors and weather conditions, while the global business was affected by customer traffic at its flagship store in Hong Kong.
