The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Operating revenue increased due to new store openings, renovations of existing stores, expansion of online supermarkets and the strengthening of private-label products. On the other hand, property expenses, including rent associated with new store openings, and personnel expenses resulting from investment in people and improvements in employee compensation increased, and these costs could not be fully offset by initiatives to improve productivity and optimise property expenses, resulting in a decline in operating profit.
