Overview of Operating Results

Business Results for three months ended June 30, 2025

In the business environment surrounding our group, demand for aviation fuel remained strong, with the number of foreign visitors to Japan reaching a record high in April 2025. On the other hand, the market prices of domestic petroleum products remained unstable due to the tension in the Middle East situation and the subsidy provided by the government's measures to reduce the fixed price of fuel oil.
Under these circumstances, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, net sales increased by 2.1% year-on-year to 154,034 million yen. Operating income declined by 58.2% year-on-year to 1,021 million yen, primarily due to a significant deterioration in profitability. This was caused by the price distortion in certain purchase and sales transactions at consolidated subsidiary Kygnus Sekiyu K.K., stemming from the impact of domestic petroleum product market conditions. Ordinary profit decreased by 51.8% year-on-year to 1,344 million yen, and profit attributable to owners of parent decreased by 58.9% year-on-year to 1,073 million yen.
