Reasons for revision
Based on our recent performance, we have revised the consolidated financial results forecast, which was announced on July 31, 2019.
Sales forecast has been revised downward from the initial forecast, because of a decrease in sales of power to other suppliers due to low market prices in the domestic electric power business. The revised forecast is 2,035 billion yen.
Despite making group-wide efforts to reduce costs, ordinary income has been revised downward, because of a decrease in sales and of a loss in reselling surplus LNG as market prices significantly dropped in the domestic electric power business. The revised forecast is 55 billion yen.
The revised forecast of profit attributable to owners of parent is 30 billion yen, which is lower than previously announced.
Sales and ordinary income have been revised for the non-consolidated forecasts for FY2019, as well as the consolidated forecasts.
