Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

The main factors were lower inbound sales due to the sharp drop in visitors to Japan from China, the closure of sales areas in connection with remodeling work at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store, rising prices, and one-time costs associated with the replacement of POS registers. In the food business, higher average selling prices, the introduction of new store formats, and efficiency gains from integrated operations contributed to higher revenue and income. In other businesses, full-year contributions from Ningbo Hankyu Commercial Co., Ltd. and solid performance by group companies contributed to results.

Revision to Earnings ForecastRegional salesOrders received and order backlog

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.

Sales were affected by the decline in inbound sales due to the sharp drop in visitors to Japan from China, the closure of sales areas in connection with remodeling work at the Hankyu Umeda Main Store, and rising prices. Operating income decreased due to lower gross profit resulting from the decline in revenue and higher one-time costs associated with the replacement of POS registers. Although gains on the sale of investment securities and other extraordinary gains were recorded, net income decreased because impairment losses and losses on disposal of fixed assets, among other extraordinary losses, were recorded.
