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.Higher average spending per customer resulting from menu initiatives, including price revisions, increased revenue at existing stores, new store openings and the contribution of M&A to the consolidated results were the drivers of revenue growth. Although costs such as raw material and personnel expenses increased, the impact was absorbed by the effect of higher revenue. Net profit also benefited from the recognition of gains on the sale of shares as extraordinary income.
