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.Revenue increased due to contributions from the 3 companies acquired in the previous fiscal year from the beginning of the current fiscal year. The deterioration in operating profit was due in part to the reversal of one-off profit generated by the earlier delivery cycle for traditional Japanese clothing and jewelry in the prior year. New Value reported growth in its reuse business, while Core Value cited improved store efficiency and expanded sales channels, among other factors.
