The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The operating margin improved due to growth in the regional revitalization business and the IoT business, keeping the increase in cost of sales below the revenue growth rate, and containing the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the home healthcare business, the company said it is moving forward with the closure and consolidation of multiple locations, as well as reviewing its fixed-cost structure and staff training policies.
