Business Details

Sells LP gas, petroleum products, housing equipment, and related services. Composed of the wholesale, retail, gas station, transportation, and other divisions, multiple consolidated subsidiaries centered on Mitsuuroko Vessel Co., Ltd. sell LP gas, city gas, petroleum-related products, and environmental energy products such as solar power generation systems and storage batteries to general household and commercial customers, and also carry out sales, installation, and renovation services for housing equipment. This is the Group's core segment, accounting for approximately 42% of Group revenue.

Recent Overview

Segment profit declined 20.0% year-on-year mainly due to decreased petroleum sales volume and increased personnel costs

In the Energy Business for FY2026 (ending March 2026), revenue decreased 6.4% year-on-year to ¥143,636 million, mainly due to a decline in petroleum sales volume (revenue of the petroleum products wholesale and retail business at 86.1% year-on-year). Segment profit fell 20.0% year-on-year to only ¥1,932 million, as the narrowing of the spread between LP gas wholesale selling price and inventory unit price, sluggish sales of residential storage batteries via door-to-door sales at Sanyu Co., Ltd., and increased SG&A expenses such as personnel costs all weighed on results. Meanwhile, LP gas retail remained solid, with gross profit at 102.6% year-on-year due to an increase in the number of customers.

Key Products

service
LP Gas Sales & Safety Services

Retail sales volume was solid at 100.5% year-on-year due to an increase in the number of customers. Wholesale gross profit declined to 88.1% year-on-year due to a narrowing of the spread between selling price and inventory unit price. Continues to pursue ongoing customer acquisition while prioritizing strengthening of the safety management system.

service
Petroleum Products Sales & Directly-Operated Gas Stations

The wholesale division saw both volume and gross profit decline year-on-year due to a decrease in bid projects and the impact of high temperatures in the northern Japan area and worsening Middle East tensions (concerns over closure of the Strait of Hormuz). The directly-operated gas station business increased sales volume through use of social media and conversion to oil wholesaler brand-marked stations, with revenue at 103.3% year-on-year.

service
Housing Equipment Sales & Renovation Services

Proposal opportunities to corporate customers and large-scale projects expanded, centered on GHP as a priority product. Water heaters captured increased sales from failure-driven replacement due to correction of trade practices, and demand for switching to energy-efficient equipment. On the other hand, sluggish sales of residential storage batteries through door-to-door sales (Sanyu Co., Ltd. revenue at 70.6% year-on-year) weighed on the overall business, with segment revenue at 89.8% year-on-year.

service
New Energy (Solar Power & Storage Batteries)

Continued operation of non-fossil power utilizing the "Demand-Driven Solar Power Introduction Support Program," with earnings accumulation progressing further in the fourth quarter. Promoted acquisition of power plants including physical PPAs, steadily acquiring and developing power plants scheduled to commence generation during FY2026 (ending March 2027). Revenue was 97.0% year-on-year, and gross profit was 107.5% year-on-year.

platform
SmartOWL® Delivery Efficiency Solution

Achieved efficiency improvements in LP gas delivery operations for approximately 190,000 consumers. Continues to reduce the number of LP gas deliveries by approximately 30%, with an expected CO2 reduction of 1.189 kg per delivery. A case study with one delivery operator confirmed labor cost savings equivalent to the workload of five delivery staff.

Growth Drivers

  • Continued increase in the number of LP gas household and commercial customers through proactive sales activities
  • Expansion of energy-efficient housing equipment sales such as GHP and hybrid water heaters (utilizing subsidies)
  • Continued operation of non-fossil power sources (solar) through government subsidy adoption and improved profitability
  • Increased sales of water heaters etc. to multi-family housing owners following correction of LP gas trade practices
  • Progress in delivery efficiency and cost reduction via SmartOWL®, and expansion to external operators
  • Customer retention through social media use and conversion to oil wholesaler brand-marked stations at directly-operated gas stations

Risks

  • Structural decline in per-household LP gas usage due to spread of energy-efficient equipment and reduced water heating demand from extreme heat, etc.
  • Margin compression from narrowing spread between selling price and inventory unit price in LP gas wholesale
  • Declining trend in petroleum product demand (frugal consumer behavior, spread of energy-efficient equipment) and decrease in bid projects
  • Impact on petroleum supply and prices from worsening Middle East tensions (e.g., closure of the Strait of Hormuz)
  • Pressure on segment profit from increased SG&A expenses such as personnel and logistics costs
  • Sluggish sales of residential storage batteries through door-to-door sales (Sanyu Co., Ltd.)
  • Physical risks such as copper wire theft at existing power plants (risk of generation stoppage)
