Factors Behind Changes in Business Performance

Profit increased due to the increase in gas sales volume following the acquisition of Ojiya City's gas business, revisions to gas rates and lower raw material costs resulting from lower LNG prices. For the next fiscal year, the company expects higher raw material costs due to rising LNG prices and other factors, as well as higher operating expenses resulting from the replacement of aging gas pipelines and maintenance of supply facilities.
