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.Home care services reported lower revenue and profit due to the impact of the consolidation and closure of facilities in the previous fiscal year. This was offset by higher revenue and profit in comprehensive services for seniors, as well as more efficient labor costs, including through the direct hiring of dispatched workers as regular employees.
