What drove the change

Purchase costs went up with volatile exchange rates and rising prices, but the company says its pricing strategy worked
Wide media coverage of Gyomu Super's private-brand products brought more shoppers into stores
In restaurants and delis, new Chisouna deli shops opened steadily, and Premium Karubi sales rose as more people came to know the brand

Things to watch

Imports are paid mainly in US dollars and euros, so sharp currency moves can hurt results
Animal disease outbreaks, trouble in supplier countries, energy costs and bad weather can push purchase prices sharply higher
Private-brand goods make up a large share of gross profit, so a drop in their sales would weigh heavily
