Q2 FY3 / 2016 results briefing Q & A

 
The gross margin in the first half improved from the previous year. Please tell us about the factors.
The first factor in improving the gross margin in the first half was an increase in sales of high value-added and high unit price products. In addition, white goods with high gross margin were strong, and sales of PCs were sluggish due to the decline of Windows XP, resulting in a rise in gross margin due to a change in the product composition ratio.
Please tell me about the sales composition ratio of inbound demand.
Our company has many suburban stores and few stores in the Tokyo metropolitan area or in front of the station, so the composition ratio as a whole is small. However, at some stores such as AKIBA, the inbound sales composition ratio is high. Inbound sales account for a small percentage of sales, but there are 60 tax-exempt stores. We plan to gradually increase the number of duty-free stores in the future.
