Items this document does not state (10)
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 growth was supported by sales from newly contracted and newly opened facilities, sales from acquired companies and higher government-set prices. Profit declined due to a lower profit margin in the nursing care business, a higher SG&A ratio, increased labor and personnel costs following base pay increases for employees, opening costs for new facilities and higher costs at cooking schools.
