The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.In the childcare business, revisions to government-set prices, revenue from newly contracted facilities and after-school care facilities, higher contracted service fees, and an increase in enrollment at bilingual preschools contributed to higher revenue. The increase in revenue exceeded the increases in labor costs and the costs of opening new facilities. In the nursing care business, higher facility occupancy rates and the acquisition of a business contributed to higher revenue, but profit declined due to delays in increasing the number of residents at new facilities and initial costs.
