In the domestic BOOKOFF business, same-store sales increased for trading cards and hobbies, precious metals, watches and brand-name bags, and apparel, while large new stores also contributed. In the Premium Service business, procurement increased as precious metal prices remained at high levels. In the overseas business, new stores and stores opened in prior fiscal years contributed to sales.
