The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.Revenue benefited from an increase in the number of home-care patients accompanying the opening of new home-visit pharmacy stores. Operating profit was affected by the cost of opening the fourth Primary Care Home facility, lower per-resident fees at facilities including Kumamoto Hamasen, and opening and recruitment costs for the home-visit pharmacy business. Compared with the previous assumptions, the recognition of approximately ¥200 million in revenue from the Region Prime project was ultimately not approved.
