The reasons the company gives

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

Revenue increased due to organic growth at existing hospitals and the effects of the acquisitions of Asuka Medical, See, Cartech, Meditrix and North One. Although amortization of goodwill and personnel expenses increased in connection with the M&A, operating income increased due to the effects of greater operating efficiency through group management, cost synergies and the expansion of medical equipment.
