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.

Existing-store sales growth from extended operating hours and improved store QSCA, increased customer traffic at existing stores, contributions from new stores, optimized ingredient procurement, improved production efficiency, lower ingredient costs, and SG&A expense control. For the fourth quarter, the second-half plan was left unchanged in light of the possibility of upfront investment.
