Items this document does not state (9)
These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The Company cited uncertainty about the outlook for political and economic conditions, consumers' cost-consciousness due to rising prices, a sluggish market caused by unsettled weather in June, a lower full-price sales ratio due to inventory clearance from the end of the previous fiscal year, and higher costs associated with upfront investment in new brands and the reuse business. Meanwhile, September in-store sales were strong, and the Company stated that if this trend is maintained from the third quarter onward, the shortfall in the interim period could be recovered.
