Question

The company is Omnicare, Inc.
Here is the revenue for 5 years.

Revenue Chart
Year Revenue (in billions)
2006 $6.49
2007 $6.10
2008 $6.21
2009 $6.17
2010 $6.15

I could find the numbers and figure out if it decreased or inclined. However, I don't have idea how to find the reason like why the revenue decreased.

The question in the worksheet is,

DId revenue increase or decrease over the last few years? An explanation of the change in revenue is often contained in the management discussion and analysis section. What reasons did management give for the change?

Please find the answer and teach me how to research the company, like where or how. I want to do myself!

Thanks!
