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.Revenue increased due to contributions from new store openings and renovations, as well as solid performance at existing stores. The increase in gross profit from the higher number of stores absorbed increases in SG&A expenses, including personnel expenses, depreciation and store opening and renovation costs. The decline in profit margins was attributed to increased investment in new stores and renovations.
