「In our core LPG business, sales volumes increased year on year in the same period due to higher unit consumption by ordinary households and solid sales volumes for air conditioning among large-volume customers as a result of the extremely hot summer, among other factors.」
While sluggish fuel demand due to temperature factors had been noted in prior periods, LP gas sales volume increased year on year in the current interim period, driven by higher unit consumption among general households and air-conditioning demand from large-volume users amid the unusually hot summer. - FY2025MitigatedAnnual report
「In our core LPG business, unit consumption increased as demand among customers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, including restaurants and the leisure industry, recovered, and as we actively promoted gas fan-heater rentals, resulting in a year-on-year increase in sales volumes.」
In contrast to weak demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and temperature factors, the recovery of customers and promotion of gas fan-heater rentals resulted in a year-on-year increase in LPG sales volumes. - FY2025-H1MitigatedAnnual report
「In our core LPG business, sales volumes increased year on year in the same interim period because temperatures in early spring remained relatively low and use of commercial air conditioning increased due to the extremely hot summer.」
Unlike the previous stagnation in demand for heating and hot-water supply caused by warm winters and high temperatures, lower temperatures in early spring and increased demand for commercial air conditioning due to the extremely hot summer led to higher LPG sales volumes. - FY2024MaterialisedAnnual report
「In our core LPG business, sales volumes declined year on year because demand for hot-water supply and heating stagnated due to the warm winter. However, the number of customers increased through the development division’s acquisition of new-build properties and other opportunities and the acquisition of businesses through M&A.」
The stagnation in demand for hot-water supply and heating caused by the warm winter appeared in the annual results as a year-on-year decline in LPG sales volumes. Meanwhile, the number of customers increased through the development of new-build properties and M&A. - FY2024-Q3MaterialisedAnnual report
「In the petroleum business, while sales volumes of gasoline and other products at service stations showed signs of recovery following the lifting of restrictions on activities, sales volumes declined year on year in the same quarter because temperatures remained relatively high from early autumn onward, significantly reducing consumption of kerosene for heating, among other factors.」
While gasoline sales showed signs of recovery following the lifting of restrictions on activities, relatively high temperatures from early autumn onward significantly reduced consumption of heating kerosene, causing sales volumes in the petroleum business to fall below the previous year’s level. - FY2024-Q2MaterialisedAnnual report
「In our core LPG business, consumption by restaurants and other establishments and consumption for commercial air conditioning increased due to the extremely hot summer, but consumption related to hot-water supply in ordinary households declined due to climatic factors, resulting in a year-on-year decrease in sales volumes for the same quarter.」
LPG consumption for hot-water supply by ordinary households declined due to climatic factors, including the extremely hot summer, and sales volumes fell below the previous year’s level. Demand for commercial air conditioning increased, but the impact on household demand was reflected in actual results. - FY2024-Q1MaterialisedAnnual report
「In our core LPG business, sales volumes declined year on year in the same quarter due to a decrease in unit consumption resulting from temperature differences, among other factors,」
The company states that the decrease in unit consumption caused by temperature differences appeared in actual results as a year-on-year decline in LPG sales volumes for the same quarter. - FY2022MitigatedAnnual report
「In the petroleum business, demand for fuel oil at service stations was recovering and sales volumes increased. In addition, because winter temperatures remained lower than usual, sales volumes of kerosene, particularly heating kerosene, exceeded the previous year.」
In contrast to the stagnation in fuel sales volumes caused by warm winters and high temperatures through the previous fiscal year, lower winter temperatures increased sales volumes of fuel oil and heating kerosene this fiscal year. - FY2021MitigatedAnnual report
「Segment profit increased to ¥878 million, up 12.3% year on year, owing mainly to an increase in customers for the retail electricity service “Sanrin Denki” and higher sales of heating kerosene due to cold spells from December to January.」
In contrast to the stagnation in demand for kerosene and LPG caused by warm winters and high temperatures through the previous fiscal year, the company explains that a cold spell in December-January increased sales of heating kerosene this fiscal year. - FY2020MaterialisedAnnual report
「For the fiscal year, sales in the electricity retail business were firm due to an increase in new contracts. However, sales volumes of core products such as LP gas and kerosene remained weak because of the record-warm winter, while lower selling prices for petroleum products also affected results. Net sales were ¥27,912 million, down 1.5% year on year.」
The record warm winter appeared in the annual results as weak sales volumes of core products and lower revenue. - FY2020-Q3MaterialisedAnnual report
「During the cumulative third quarter under review, although the number of contracts in the electricity retail business increased, sales volumes of the core LPG and petroleum products stagnated due to a record warm winter, resulting in revenue of ¥19,880 million, down 0.3% year on year.」
