The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Profit declined due to upfront investments associated with new store openings, system investment-related expenses, higher logistics costs resulting from increased revenue, front-loaded promotional expenses and human capital investments aimed at improving employee compensation. In response to cost pressures from tensions in the Middle East and the weaker yen, the Company implemented cost reductions and price revisions and promoted sales of higher-value-added products.
