Items this document does not state (13)
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.In direct mail mailing, results benefited from winning large-volume projects, strengthening the sales and marketing organizations, and an increase in online orders. In fulfillment, results benefited from greater service awareness, expanded fulfillment capacity through the addition of centers, and an increase in the number of locations and stable utilization rates. In apparel, sales of made-to-order products, lower logistics costs and improved inventory merchandising accuracy contributed to profit. Meanwhile, the internet business experienced lower revenue and profit due to sluggish performance in comparison websites and SEO services.
