Items this document does not state (13)
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.The number of newly contracted facilities and the number of users at existing facilities increased, while efforts to control activity-related expenses continued. The gross profit margin declined due to higher procurement costs associated with COVID-19 and rising prices, among other factors, but operating profit increased as a result of improved operating efficiency through system implementation and other measures. The full-year forecast was left unchanged in consideration of delays in the normalization of activities caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.
