The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The company expects performance to be weighted toward the second half because most bids for used-equipment projects are scheduled from the latter part of the first half onward, with the order backlog expected to increase from the second quarter onward. It cited higher recruitment agency fees associated with active hiring for future growth as the reason for the operating loss.
