FY2027 Second Quarter (Interim Period) Financial Results Summary [Japanese GAAP] (Consolidated)

In the interim period, net sales exceeded the year-earlier period due to factors including higher gas sales volumes, while operating expenses such as raw material costs increased, resulting in lower operating profit, ordinary profit and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent. The full-year earnings forecast was revised, with higher net sales expected but lower operating profit and lower profit at subsequent levels.

The reasons the company gives

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

Although demand for hot water supply and air conditioning declined due to temperatures at the beginning of the period and during the summer, higher equipment operating rates among commercial customers lifted gas sales volumes above the previous year. Gas rate unit prices were reduced through raw material cost adjustments, while raw material costs and other expenses increased due to higher gas sales volumes. The full-year forecast was revised based on gas sales volumes tracking above plan and a review of various expenses.
