FY2026 Q3 Financial Results Presentation

Overview of Performance

Operating income for the third quarter of FY2026 reached ¥11 billion, exceeding the plan and achieving a record high profit. Gross profit rose to ¥51.9 billion, driven by growth in the electricity segment, while SG&A expenses improved cost efficiency at ¥40.9 billion. Net income increased to ¥7.6 billion year-over-year. The full-year operating income forecast remains at ¥20 billion, with a cautious outlook for Q4 factoring in temperature effects and price adjustments. LP gas sales volumes remained flat due to increased residential customers but declined in commercial use. The electricity business performed strongly, benefiting from customer growth and expanded margins. Despite a decrease in city gas sales volumes, gross profit was maintained at previous year levels supported by increased equipment sales.

Capital Strategy and Future Outlook

FY2026 marks the final year of the three-year plan targeting operating income of ¥20 billion, EPS of ¥129.6, and an ROE of 22%. The company aims to optimize capital efficiency while improving ROE. By controlling the balance sheet, it enhances asset profitability and reduces non-performing assets, while increasing investments in LP gas and ICT. Profit expansion is pursued through customer base growth and the energy space business. A treasury stock acquisition program of ¥9 billion has been established to continue shareholder returns. The company will monitor temperature fluctuations and fuel price trends carefully while expecting a steady business performance.
