The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company cited the fact that its mobile purchasing business is primarily driven by customers' decluttering and organizing needs and is therefore less susceptible to precious-metal price movements, as well as the strategic allocation of appointments to July and August in light of seasonality. It also explained that initiatives including improving the repeat-visit rate, call-center measures, workforce planning, and training for new graduates are progressing. Regarding AI, the company stated that only high-confidence benefits, such as cost reductions and an increase in the number of visits, have been partially incorporated into its plans.
