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.The company explained that operating revenue increased amid sharp rises in crude oil, natural gas and other prices resulting from heightened tensions surrounding Iran. However, earnings were weighed down in the electricity trading-related business because only the hedging gains had been recognized earlier, in the previous fiscal year. The company also cited higher electricity procurement costs, higher outsourcing expenses, unfavorable weather and higher costs in the renewable energy-related business, and lower margins resulting from price competition in the retail business.
