Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

The main factors affecting performance were the consolidation of the electricity and gas retail business as a subsidiary, increased transactions in energy-saving-related businesses, increased transactions in various chemicals and higher market prices, and an increase in share of profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method. By segment, factors contributing to higher profit included the effect of withdrawing from loss-making businesses in the previous fiscal year, the new consolidation of the Australian public transportation business, the new consolidation of the Australian infrastructure development business, higher methanol prices, the profit contribution from Nippon A&L, and strong performance in tobacco transactions and the Vietnamese foodservice wholesale business. Factors reducing profit included low production efficiency in the Australian coking coal business and delays in planting caused by low rainfall in the overseas fertilizer business.
