TOKYO, Oct 8 (Reuters) - ‌The Japanese ​operator ​of the 7-Eleven convenience store chain, Seven & i Holdings, said on ‌Thursday it booked an 11% fall in ⁠second-quarter operating profit.

The firm generated 127.3 billion ‌yen ($805 million) operating profit ‌over the June-August period, as compared to 132.3 billion yen over the same ​period a year earlier.

• Operating profit for the six months to the ⁠end of August grew 137% on a like-for-like basis, adjusting ​for the impact of the deconsolidation of York Holdings, the parent company ​of its non-core business, ‌and Seven Bank, its banking arm, Seven & i said in ⁠a presentation.

• High fuel prices pushed up profit at its overseas convenience store arm, ⁠which operates a network of convenience stores and gas ​stations across North America.

• Operating profit at the domestic convenience store business in the six months ‌to August fell 12% compared to the same period the ‌previous year as inflation continued to hit ⁠consumption in Japan ‌and rivals have ​taken market share.
