What drove the change

Smartphones and other telecom devices sold well, and home appliances such as air conditioners and drugstore goods held up; TVs and other audio-visual products were weak
Gross profit grew with sales, while SG&A rose on higher variable costs and staff costs
Operating cash flow was held back by higher receivables and income tax payments

Things to watch

Unusual weather, such as a cool summer or warm winter, can cut demand for seasonal products like air conditioners
Stores are concentrated around Tokyo and the Kanto region, so a major disaster there could disrupt operations
Competition with other retailers on price and service could get tougher
