Overall YoY is negative, but excluding the Umeda store, revenue increased. Duty-free revenue underperformed YoY, while customer numbers declined and average spend rose. The SC business saw an 8.6% revenue increase due to higher foot traffic and effects from store renovations and inbound tourists. Parco stores contributed to an overall 8.6% increase due to summer vacation campaigns, renovations, and the opening of HAERA.\n\n### Outlook and Implications for Investors\nWhether the rebound in duty-free sales and contributions from renovations and new store openings will continue is key. Developer, payments, financial, and other segments are expected to face some ongoing headwinds, but performance by store varies regionally, and avoiding the impact of the Umeda store is important. Going forward, improvements in revenue mix and efforts to attract inbound customers may contribute to profitability improvements.","jir_financial_highlights":"Consolidated sales and revenue (IFRS): Unknown (Unknown)\nDepartment store sales (YoY): \u25b21.9% (excluding the Umeda store, +2.7% increase) (YoY decrease)\nDuty-free sales (Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores total): \u25b20.9% decrease (YoY)\nParco store tenant sales (August): YoY +8.6% (YoY increase)","jir_category":"","jir_hashtags":"#J.Front Retailing, #Financial results, #Segmented performance, #PARCO, #DutyFreeSales","jir_key_figures":"Total store duty-free sales for August YoY \u25b20.9% decrease\nParco store tenant sales YoY increase 8.6%\nDaimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores total duty-free sales YoY decrease 0.9%\u25b2","jir_meta_title":"[J.
