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.Net sales increased due to higher sales in the food, non-food and e-commerce businesses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to higher personnel expenses from wage increases and other factors, as well as higher sales commissions in the e-commerce business. Ordinary income declined due to expenses related to the tender offer for treasury shares and third-party allotment, among other factors, while net income declined due to the recognition of ¥22 million in store closure losses, including costs for demolishing aging leased stores.
