The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In Japan, both customer numbers and average spending per customer increased, while fixed-cost growth was limited relative to revenue growth. Overseas, profitability improved following a review of the operating structure and marketing in mainland China. Meanwhile, the gross profit margin declined due to surging precious-metal prices and the time lag before the effects of product price revisions emerged.
