The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although the number of stores in the Retail segment declined, sales and profit per store increased, supported by strong sales of knitting-related products. In the Publishing and Education segment, profitability improved through withdrawal from unprofitable businesses and structural reforms. For the full-year outlook, the Company expects to recognize extraordinary gains in addition to the effects of structural reforms and business restructuring.
