The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue increased following the opening and ramp-up of new facilities, while the factors cited for the decline included a temporary decrease in facility occupancy, higher personnel expenses resulting from shift changes, and the impact of the medical fee revision. The full-year forecast was left unchanged due to uncertainty regarding the impact of the medical fee revision.
