The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Existing stores performed well in the domestic BOOKOFF business, while new and previously opened stores contributed to the overseas business. In the domestic BOOKOFF business, expenses increased due to the opening of 2 large-format stores and higher personnel costs, but profit increased on the strength of existing stores. In the Premium Services business, higher-value purchases, an increase in the number of transactions handled and improved operating efficiency contributed to higher profit. The impact of the unauthorized access incident on business performance is currently being assessed and has not been factored into the full-year forecast.
