Items this document does not state (14)
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.Operating revenue increased due to the improved gross margin, while operating income rose on higher operating gross profit and lower SG&A expenses. SG&A expenses declined mainly because of lower personnel costs and other expenses resulting from improved store efficiency, as well as lower asset retirement costs. GMV, meanwhile, declined as average sales per store decreased at new-format stores. Compared with the full-year forecast, SG&A expenses increased as the company actively pursued store renovations and strengthened its logistics capabilities, resulting in somewhat slower progress in terms of profit.
