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 increased as facilities were opened and ramped up, while EBITDA declined due to lower facility utilization rates and higher personnel expenses resulting from shift changes. The full-year forecast was left unchanged in light of the uncertainty surrounding the impact of the medical fee revision.
