The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

New M&A and new hospital openings are not incorporated into the earnings forecast because of uncertainty over their timing. The forecast assumes revenue growth from existing businesses and confirmed M&A. Operating profit is expected to increase through ongoing cost reductions and expansion of businesses outside the highly profitable veterinary hospital network business.
