The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The main driver of the sales increase was stronger demand for autumn merchandise as temperatures fell. The approach of a major typhoon and an increase in rainy days were negative factors, but men's shirts, knitwear, jackets and outerwear, as well as women's knitwear, cardigans, jackets and outerwear, remained strong. The Company estimates that September had 1 more holiday than the same month of the previous year, contributing approximately 1.7 percentage points to same-store sales.
