These are items the company does not state in this document. We do not leave them blank, nor fill them in from other sources or by inference.
The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The domestic market for standalone COVID-19 antigen testing kits contracted, wholesalers reduced inventories built up in the market during the year-earlier period, and sales volumes declined for both standalone COVID-19 and COVID-19/influenza combo testing kits. In Q3 alone, higher staffing costs and depreciation also weighed on operating profit.
