Items this document does not state (8)
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 benefited from M&A transactions involving 京樽 (a sushi chain) and にぎり長次郎 (a sushi chain), new store openings and higher average spend per customer. On the earnings front, same-store revenue fell below the initial forecast due to unfavorable weather and other factors, while the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, including personnel expenses, could not be absorbed by the increase in revenue. Net income increased because a gain on negative goodwill of ¥1,477 million was recognized in connection with making 京樽 a subsidiary.
