「Daikokuya's overall gross margin declined to 28.0%, down 2.8 percentage points from the previous fiscal year. This decline was partly attributable to the yen shifting from its previous weakening trend toward appreciation, with the yen more than 4% stronger than the average for the same period of the previous year (six-month average: 152.52→145.99), as well as to lower inventory levels.」
