Note on Sales Growth vs Store Growth
Changes in the difference between sales growth and store growth suggest changes in the underlying sales growth rates, however, the measure should not be taken as indicative of comparable sales growth in absolute terms. The figures are calculated from rounded sales growth data and unrounded store growth data.
