Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Improved employment and income conditions and inbound demand provided support, but consumers' preference for saving and lower prices, persistently high raw material prices, energy costs and logistics expenses, rising personnel and recruitment costs, and intensifying competition weighed on earnings. The Company advanced its store strategy, strengthened its product offering and raised average customer spend, and pursued cost control and operational efficiency improvements.
