These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.New store openings were limited to 1 because management resources were concentrated on strengthening the foundation for franchise expansion, launching new businesses, establishing a Kansai sales office, recruiting immediately deployable personnel, designing a new laundry package and preparing for overseas expansion. In addition, completion of container hotels for sale was pushed back to the third quarter due to delays in the supply of construction materials, resulting in lower net sales from the container business.
