The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In Japan, the improvement was driven by higher service and food quality, full-scale operations at Nasu Paradise Village, and lower labor-cost and store-expense ratios. In the US, the improvement was driven by the recovery of existing stores, full-scale operations at Settecento, the weaker yen, and improvements in cost of sales, labor costs and store expenses.
