Items this document does not state (11)
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 explained that sales of agricultural supplies, products for construction contractors, summer and air-conditioning products, private-label products and e-commerce remained firm, while unfavorable weather in early spring, a decline following the surge in demand for disaster-prevention products, and weak sales of kerosene and durable consumer goods weighed on performance. Factors contributing to higher operating profit included growth in private-label product sales, foreign exchange effects, and higher sales of agricultural supplies and products from new stores and format conversions. Cost increases resulted from wage hikes, higher rents associated with new store openings, repair expenses, and the introduction of terminals at new stores.
