Rollout of Safety-Enhanced Gas Appliances and Renewal of Aging Gas Pipes

「For supply facilities in the gas business, we invested ¥5,413.902 million in capital expenditures, mainly for trunk and service pipeline construction for new demand in development areas, improvement and reinforcement of other main pipelines, and acquisition of gas business facilities centered on the replacement and reinforcement of aging pipelines.」

「レジリエンスの強化や保安・安定供給の更なる維持向上のため、引き続き経年ガス管の取替や供給設備の保全・機能強化に取り組み営業費用が増加する見通しであることから前期比49.5％減の19億20百万円、経常利益は前期比45.9％減の22億60百万円、親会社株主に帰属する当期純利益は前期比42.5％減の18億30百万円となる見通しであります。」

「To strengthen safety and security and enable customers to use gas with confidence, we will promote the adoption of safer gas appliances, including “Si Sensor Cooktops,” in which all burners are equipped with safety sensors, and strengthen promotion of “city gas leak alarms” and “residential fire alarms,” while continuing to actively replace aging gas pipelines, including white gas pipes.」

「In addition to higher raw material costs resulting from increased gas sales volumes and other factors, costs associated with replacing aging gas pipelines also increased, bringing operating expenses to ¥36,016 million. However, because LNG prices were trending downward during the cumulative third quarter of the consolidated fiscal year and costs incurred at the start of the previous year following the acquisition of the Kashiwazaki City gas business declined, the year-on-year increase in operating expenses was limited to ¥2,006 million.」

「In addition to higher raw material costs resulting from gas sales volumes and LNG prices exceeding the previous year’s levels, costs associated with replacing aging gas pipelines also increased, bringing operating expenses to ¥23,292 million.」
