Financial Results Presentation for the First Quarter of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 [15th Fiscal Year]

Operating revenue increased year on year in the first quarter, but operating income moved from a profit to a loss of ¥819 million, while quarterly net loss attributable to owners of the parent was ¥873 million, due mainly to differences in the timing of recognizing gains and losses on electricity futures hedges and higher electricity procurement costs.

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.
