      1. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Financial Results

        Accounting policies regarding "Inclusion of loan interest in asset acquisition cost" were changed from this fiscal year, and the comparison with the previous fiscal year is based on figures after retroactively applying the change.

      2. Qualitative Information on Consolidated Operating Results
      3. Electricity Sales Volume

        In the electric power business, electricity sales volume from hydroelectric power plants for the three months ended June 30, 2016 showed 22.5% decrease to 2.3 TWh, due mainly to the decrease of water supply rate from 108% in the same period of the previous fiscal year to 87%. In thermal power, a decrease in the load factor of thermal power plants of J-POWER (non-consolidated) from 65% to 56% resulted in 12.5% decrease in electricity sales volume from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 9.8TWh. Mainly due to these factors, total electricity sales volume in the electric power business decreased 14.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 12.3TWh.

        Electricity sales volume in the overseas business increased 16.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 3.6 TWh. This was mainly due to the operation of U-Thai IPP project in Thailand, which commenced commercial operation in 2015 (unit No.1 in June 2015, unit No.2 in December 2015), throughout the term.

      4. Overview of Income and Expenditures

      5. Sales (operating revenues) decreased 11.6% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 167.5 billion yen mainly due to the decline of the fuel price and the decrease of the load factor of thermal power plants in the electric power business. Total ordinary revenue including non-operating income also decreased 10.5% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 175.7 billion yen.

        At the same time, operating expenses decreased 17.7% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 132.0 billion yen. This was mainly due to the decrease of fuel costs associated with the decline of the fuel price and the decrease of the load factor of thermal power plants, in addition to the decrease of maintenance costs including periodic inspection costs. Furthermore, J-POWER has changed the depreciation and amortization method (from declining-balance method to straight-line method) and applied it from the three months ended June 30, 2016, which decreased operating expenses by decreasing depreciation and amortization costs. Total ordinary expenses including non-operating expenses decreased 16.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 140.2 billion yen.

        As a result, ordinary income increased 28.2% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 35.5 billion yen and profit attributable to owners of parent after corporate income tax increased 32.1% from the same period of the previous fiscal year to 26.8 billion yen.
