The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In Japan, the factors cited for the increase in sales were improved in-store freshness driven by spring machine investments, the addition of new machine types and approximately 300 machines, and the opening of new-format stores. In the Philippines, the company attributed a decline in shopping-center traffic to higher crude oil prices amid tensions in the Middle East and reduced transportation options.
