The reasons the company gives

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

The childcare support services business reported higher revenue due to higher government-set prices and an increase in the number of children, but profit declined because of higher labor costs associated with an increase in the number of employees and a decrease in subsidies recognized due to timing differences. The nursing care-related services business reported higher revenue and profit, mainly due to an improved occupancy rate.
