Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

In the childcare support services business, higher government-set prices, strong occupancy at licensed daycare centers, and the recognition of subsidies attributable to a timing difference contributed to net sales, while personnel expenses from improving employee treatment and strengthening recruitment, food and other costs resulting from rising prices, and DX investments weighed on profit. In the comprehensive human resources services business, the company focused on high-demand, high-priced outsourcing and temporary staffing projects, while steady utilization of each facility contributed in the nursing care-related services business.

Revision to Earnings ForecastOrders received and order backlog

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.

In the childcare support services business, higher government-set prices and strong occupancy at licensed daycare centers contributed to higher revenue. In the comprehensive human resources services business, the company focused on higher-priced projects, while steady utilization of facilities in the nursing care-related services business also contributed to revenue growth. Ordinary income benefited from equipment subsidy income associated with the opening of facilities in the childcare support services business. Ordinary income is expected to decline in the next fiscal year because no new facility openings are planned and no equipment subsidy income is expected.
