Impact on Shareholders and Outlook

Revenue increased driven by accelerated store openings and expansion of online sales, but SG&A increased with store expansion, pressuring profits. Cash and cash equivalents at the interim period end increased, indicating a stable financial base. The unchanged full-year forecast and the maintained/revised dividend policy suggest continued emphasis on shareholder returns. Going forward, performance will be sensitive to spring/summer apparel demand, the sustainability of online growth, and fluctuations in raw material and logistics costs.
