The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Profit growth was driven by increased sales from concentrating on best-selling products, lower costs, an improved cost ratio due to lower valuation losses on merchandise, and an improved selling, general and administrative expense ratio resulting from SG&A reductions. Regarding the revision to the full-year forecasts, the company stated that it had taken into account the first half significantly exceeding its initial assumptions, the business characteristic of profits being concentrated in the first half, the external environment including the continued depreciation of the yen and higher crude oil prices, and extraordinary gains and losses associated with the relocation of the head office.
