The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The factors cited for higher revenue and profit include sales growth driven by a focus on best-selling products, proposals for new concepts and products, a focus on lifestyle product sales, stronger in-store merchandising proposals, and ongoing cost reductions. The increase in operating profit was supported by higher revenue and an improved cost ratio. Although logistics costs increased, efforts were made to reduce selling, general and administrative expenses. Net income includes extraordinary gains and losses associated with the head office relocation.
