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.

Growth in demand for petroleum-derived products, stronger sales of air conditioners and parts, higher profit from pricing actions, and growth in private-brand product sales contributed to the increase in profit. On the other hand, higher depreciation expenses following the launch of the Kansai Distribution Center, rising freight costs and wage increases contributed to higher expenses.
