The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the shapewear business, there was strong demand brought forward ahead of price increases, and core products performed steadily, while the introduction of limited-edition colors and new products also increased average customer spending. Profitability also improved through DX initiatives including the use of AI, optimization of staffing and hiring, and more efficient sales initiatives and selling, general and administrative expenses. In the maternity and baby-related business, steady performance in high-gross-margin products and services and cost control contributed, while improved operating efficiency contributed in the wedding and banquet-related business.
