Items this document does not state (13)
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.Revenue increased due to higher sales at Onward Personal Style and Chacott, as well as in the U.S. and Asian businesses, strengthened digital marketing and promotional activities, and growth at directly operated stores and in e-commerce. Although the selling, general and administrative expense ratio declined due to more efficient store operations and other factors, the gross profit margin fell as a result of the early launch of summer merchandise and inventory optimization. Net income increased due to gains on the sale of investment securities and a decrease in impairment losses and other items.
