First of all, the sales have continued to grow, with sales increasing by the number of small and medium-sized stores. As for the rate of inflation, it was 34.2% of the previous year's minus 0.1% as a result of the reduction in the loan payment and the reduction in the interest rate. As for the OTC, there is a slight increase in the decrease in the amount of the antigen test kits. The sales of basic cosmetics have been increasing, but the overall sales have been 104.5% due to the increase in the number of people who have recovered and the increase in the number of masks.

The average is shown in the red dotted line. Compared to 2019, the average is 143.7%. Compared to the average value, we are showing a high growth in products and foods. In addition, the daily stock price is almost average. The OTC and cosmetics that fell in the COVID-19 crisis are likely to recover, but compared to other categories, it seems that there is still room for improvement.

On May 15th to February 20th, this period will be changed to 9.5 months. As for the content of the focus strategy of the medium-term management plan, we will explain the numbers that we were aiming for as a destination on May 15th, so please understand. Please see page 13. This is the store strategy. The initial plan for May 15 was to start at 111, close at 87, and close at 24. The total number of orders was 2,677. This time, with the change in the budget, we will end the plan by the end of February. The total number of stores will be 2,640 at the end of February. In the mid-term plan, the initial number of stores was 2,750, so the number of stores has changed significantly. However, from the middle of the plan, we were not particular about the policy, and aimed to improve profitability per store, which is intentional in a sense. Please see the 14th page. This is the long-term strategy. This is the plan for the end of February. The long-term sales value is 11 billion yen. At the end of May of the medium-term plan, the sales value was 1.4 billion yen. This is a smooth progress. At the beginning of May 2015, we planned to open 107 stores in Chouzai. At the end of February, we planned to open 75 stores until the end of February. And the total number of stores will be 1,003 at the end of February. The initial total number of stores on May 15 was 1,170. This is also short for the number of stores, but We believe that the sales and profitability of each store were improved. The graph on the right of this table shows the sales and profitability of each store. In the end of this year, we are planning to have a sales ratio of 38% and a sales ratio of 12.9%. The graph on the bottom right shows the level of the total number of employees in the business. This is what you might think of as the contribution of this long-term tax on the overall roughness rate, but in the long-term tax business, we are expecting a 0.2% roughness rate push-up effect on all companies. There are still very few copies of the online bookkeeping guidance and the entire electronic prescription line, but we are continuing to prepare for this response. In addition, we are working on increasing the number of prescription lines, but this is a prescription reservation transmission that we have been doing since before. This is a 6.6% increase in the total number of patients. We continue to aim to improve the convenience of patients, and we will respond to self-treatment and lockers. In addition, we will continue to improve the efficiency of Next is the PB strategy. As of the end of February, the P.B. product sales cost will be 11.7% at the end of February. At the end of the first quarter, it was 10.8%. As of May 15th, the first PV sales cost was 12%. We are evaluating the progress as planned for this project.

The target of sales per person is now 108.6%. The target of sales per person is now 108.6%.

Please see page 17. This is the plan correction budget. As I have repeated many times, the settlement period will be changed from May 15th to the end of February every year. With this in mind, the period will be 9.5 months. The number on the far right, which is written as this time's correction, which is written as February 2nd, is the correction budget figure, so the figure is as you can see. In this medium-term plan, we are working on a plan with a sales profit rate of 5% or more, and a ROE of 10%. This time, due to the change in the settlement period, the impact of the one-off return will be about 4.3 billion yen. This is a one-off factor, so if you exclude this one-off factor, I will write it in red at the bottom here, but the operating profit rate is 5.1%, and the 12-month reduction is 10.8% of the ROE as a planned value. Next, please take a look at page 18. This is the budget for the revision plan. It will be the opening of the paper plan and the draft plan. The draft plan has been revised from 6 months to 3.5 months. As I mentioned earlier, it is a one-off cost due to the change in the settlement period. First of all, this is 3.1 billion yen, It will be 2.5 months. Also, the original cost of incineration is 700 million yen. This is 0.5 months. In addition, the system recovery cost due to the change in the settlement period, as well as the integration work that we plan to do in the future, etc. We have added these so-called one-off costs. This is the 19th page. This is the plan to correct the disbursement. The company is doing a stable disbursement from the point of view of the major shareholder profits. This is the basic policy of the distribution of profits. The current period is a 9.5-month variable calculation. In the medium-term planning, we are considering 50% to 70% of the sales success. The annual sales will be the same level as the previous results, which is a 12-month calculation. Therefore, this correction is 155 yen in the middle and 112 yen at the end. Thank you very much.
