Financial Results Presentation Materials for the Interim Period of FY2027 [15th Fiscal Year]

Operating revenue increased during the interim period due in part to higher electricity prices, while operating loss, ordinary loss and net loss widened due in part to differences in the timing of recognizing gains and losses on electricity futures hedges. In addition to recording ¥664 million in operating profit from the transfer of rights and other assets related to grid-scale battery storage facilities, Takenaka Corporation's underwriting of a ¥388 million capital increase by アストマックスえびの地熱株式会社 was also decided.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Operating revenue increased against a backdrop of higher electricity prices following sharp rises in crude oil, natural gas and other prices amid escalating tensions in Iran. The electricity trading-related business, however, reported a loss, partly because only the hedging gain had been recognized in the previous fiscal year. The renewable energy-related business recorded ¥664 million in operating profit from the transfer of rights and other assets related to grid-scale battery storage facilities.
