Items this document does not state (12)
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 decline in revenue was mainly due to lower gas selling prices under the fuel cost adjustment system. The increase in profit was driven by strong overseas energy operations, particularly the Freeport LNG terminal and upstream businesses in the United States, which more than offset lower profit from the domestic energy business.
