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 as higher prices driven by inflation and an increase in customer traffic at existing stores lifted the average price per item. Gross profit increased, while utilities, depreciation and other expenses were contained against higher personnel costs resulting from base-pay increases, keeping the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses within the increase in gross profit.
