AI Summary 2026-06-23 12:15

FY2026 (Mar): Revenue ¥651B (-0.8%), Operating profit ¥32B (+2.9%), Net profit ¥31B (+23.6%). FY2027 OP guidance down sharply (-40.2%). Earnings growth supported by fuel cost adjustment timing gains; energy policy transition and carbon neutrality remain long-term challenges.

KEY POINTS
  • Operating profit grew 2.9% to ¥32B; net profit surged 23.6% to ¥31B, driven by expanded fuel cost adjustment timing spreads. Gas volume down 1.5% signals weakening demand.
  • FY2027 OP guidance sharply lower at ¥18B (-40.2%). Strategic investment phase will weigh on near-term profitability; core gas/LPG volumes remain under pressure.
  • Mid-term plan (2025-2027) targets stable cash generation from core gas/LPG and growth in power & overseas via ¥130B strategic capex. e-methane and carbon-neutral projects accelerating; ROIC discipline on portfolio.
📊 Revenue
Revenue -0.8% (¥656B → ¥651B)
💰 Operating profit
OP +2.9% (¥31B → ¥32B)
🔮 Outlook
FY2027 OP target ¥30B (unchanged 300B yen mid-term). LNG sourcing diversification underway (Canada supply start). ¥35B committed to 100MW gas-engine power project; electricity customer base +25k.
📈 Growth outlook 📈 Growth 4/10
Limited growth outlook due to declining gas demand (-1.5% volume) amid electrification and energy efficiency. Power business and carbon-neutral tech (e-methane, hydrogen) offer mid-term upside, but near-term OP guidance revised down sharply.
Growth drivers
  • Electricity customer growth (+25k) and sales volume expansion (+2.9%)
  • e-methane and carbon-neutral technology development; domestic demo project advancing (basic design FY2026)
  • Overseas business: Australian renewables participation and North America acceleration
  • LNG sourcing diversification (Canada supply start) to secure stable supply base
