The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the Steward Services business, the opening of large hotels and an increase in new operating locations contributed to higher revenue. In the Food Service business, revenue increased as a result of expanded contracts with hotel chains and the opening of new operating locations. In the Space Production business, demand for ITV systems for financial institutions and other products remained firm, but the Sound Equipment business posted lower revenue and operating income due to the loss of existing customers following changes to the brands it imports and handles.
