The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Same-store sales were strong due to limited-time campaign products and promotional initiatives, but net sales declined because of the impact of store closures in the previous fiscal year. Although store closures optimized selling, general and administrative expenses, ordinary profit declined because procurement prices for key ingredients and materials rose due to the situation in the Middle East.
