High Gross MarginA roughly 56% gross margin gives the business a durable profitability buffer versus peers. It supports absorption of operating fixed costs, funds store investment and marketing, and improves the chance of returning to operating profitability if revenue stabilizes.
Strong Equity RatioA ~55% equity ratio indicates conservative balance-sheet financing and lower leverage sensitivity. This provides structural stability through retail cycles, better access to financing if needed, and room to restructure or invest without immediate solvency pressure.
Multi-stream Retail MonetizationOperating department stores with sales, concessionaire counters and space leasing creates diversified cash sources. Concession and leasing income can be more recurring and less margin-volatile, improving resilience against pure merchandise sales declines over the medium term.
