Items this document does not state (15)
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.Net sales benefited from an increase in prescription volume and higher average prescription prices due to prescriptions for high-priced pharmaceuticals in the pharmaceuticals business, as well as an increase in the number of children at new and existing nursery schools and upward revisions to government-set prices in the childcare support business. Operating profit was weighed down by lower profit in the pharmaceuticals business due to drug price and pharmacy service fee revisions, as well as higher fixed costs, mainly personnel expenses, resulting from wage increases.
