Items this document does not state (9)
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.Revenue increased as stores opened in the previous fiscal year contributed to the Community Pharmacy segment, while the customer bases of the pharmaceutical manufacturing and sales and pharmaceutical logistics segments expanded. Operating profit benefited from an increase in support cases in the Pharmacy Support segment and improved profitability in the Pharmaceutical Logistics segment. Factors weighing on profit included higher personnel expenses, a decline in patients with acute illnesses, revisions to drug prices and dispensing fees, and a one-time increase in systems investment.
