Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Amid an unprecedented succession of new store openings and renovations by competitors, the company pursued measures including responding to low-price competition, strengthening high-quality products, an extensive product lineup and services, selling proprietary products, controlling and reducing expenses, and digitalization. Net income attributable to owners of the parent fell below the previous fiscal year's level due to a reduction in special tax credits deducted from corporate income taxes.
