The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Although first-half profit was held down by the early recognition in the first quarter of employee treatment-improvement expenses in the childcare business and the recognition in the same quarter of consolidation and closure costs, the company expects an increase in the number of students in the tutoring business, fixed-cost reductions from closures, greater efficiency and a recovery in enrollments following the integration of 4 language-related companies, and high utilization rates in the childcare and nursing-care businesses in the second half.
