< COMMENTS > (Yoy figures are on same store basis for the entire chain)
In July 2018, same-store and total-store sales increased by 3.2% and 3.4%, respectively from the same month in previous year (LY). Factors behind the percent changes were as follows. 1) One less Saturday compared to LY. 2) Increased tire sales both in number and sales amount compared to LY's weak sales after the price-raising, also inspired by the strong sales of low priced tires such as private brand tires and focused efforts on sales promotion activities. 3) Decreased sales in statutory inspection and maintenance services both in number and sales amount as a result of fewer cars subject to statutory inspections than LY. 4) Increased sales in car purchase and sales compared to LY thanks to strong car sales to business customers and growth in new car sales.

In April 2018, both same-store and total-store sales decreased by 0.2% from the same month in previous year (LY). Factors behind the percent changes were as follows. 1) Decreased tire selling affected by tire switchback demand (snow tires into normal tires) that occurred earlier than LY while sales of Car Electronic devices have been keeping its growth trend. 2) Decreased sales in statutory inspection and maintenance services both in number and sales amount as a result of fewer cars subject to statutory inspections than LY. 3) Decrease in sales at car purchase and sales business despite the number of car purchasing via the Car Purchase Specialty stores has been increasing.
