I. 1Q FY2022 Financial Highlights

Application of the netting method in the Energy Business

  • From FY2022, all figures in this presentation use the netting method* due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition (Accounting Standards Board of Japan
    Statement No. 29).
  • Both net and gross figures are shown for figures until 4Q FY2021. Please refer to net figures in prior years when making comparisons.
  • The differences of the netting and gross recognition methods have no effect on earnings at all levels.

*With the netting method, in accordance with the renewable energy feed-in tariff system in Japan, fees received from customers (sales) and payments to the cost adjustment organization (cost of sales), which are equal to fees received, offset each other, resulting in the recognition of net revenue. Figures that do not use netting are designated in this presentation as using the gross recognition method.

Start of consolidated financial statements

  • Due to the establishment of HOPE ENERGY, INC., which is a wholly owned subsidiary, HOPE, INC. changed from non-consolidated to consolidated financial statements beginning with the second quarter of the fiscal year ended in Jun. 2021. As a result, this presentation has both consolidated and non-consolidated financial information.
  • Numbers are rounded down and percentages are rounded up or down to the first decimal place.
  • All documents referenced in the following pages are in Japanese version only.
