Business Details
Through consolidated subsidiaries such as Mirife West Japan, Mirife, and Mirife East Japan, this segment operates LP Gas and Various Fuel Sales for households and retail operators, the Reform & Gas Appliance Sales, Energy Peripheral Business, Household Electricity Sales, City Gas Supply, and LP Gas Safety & Distribution Business. It is the core retail division accounting for approximately 24% of Group sales, with a regionally-rooted customer base. Note that the integration and business reorganization of the four core companies was completed as of April 1, 2026, and the segment classification is scheduled to change to "Energy Business" and other categories from FY2027 (ending March 2027).
Recent Overview
Despite lower sales, withdrawal from unprofitable businesses drove a 31.2% year-on-year increase in operating income
In FY2026 (ending March 2026), sales declined to ¥71,227 million (down 5.5% year on year) due to lower sales volumes of LP gas and kerosene from mild weather and a year-on-year soft trend in propane CP prices. On the other hand, cost reduction effects from the withdrawal from unprofitable businesses in the prior period became evident, and operating income increased substantially to ¥1,337 million (up 31.2% year on year). In addition, the integration of the four core companies—Mirife West Japan, Mirife, Mirife East Japan, and Sinanen—was completed as of April 1, 2026, and the segment classification will be changed to three categories: "Energy Business," "Maintenance Business," and "Mobility Business" from FY2027 (ending March 2027).
Key Products
Growth Drivers
- Continued effects of cost structure improvement from the withdrawal from unprofitable businesses implemented in the prior period
- Consolidation of management resources and operational efficiency gains from the integration of the four core companies (completed April 2026)
- Promotion of service quality improvement and talent development to strengthen the retail service strategy
- Transition to a stock-type business model through coordination among "Energy," "Maintenance," and "Mobility"
- Revenue diversification by expanding sales of ancillary services leveraging the regionally-rooted customer base
Risks
- Impact on sales unit prices and profitability from fluctuations in LP gas procurement prices (propane CP)
- Structural decline in kerosene and LP gas sales volumes due to warming trends and the spread of energy-efficient appliances
- Intensifying competition and declining profitability in household electricity sales
- Profit pressure from rising costs such as transportation and labor expenses
- Long-term risk of shrinking fossil fuel demand amid societal demands for decarbonization
- Risk of integration-related expenses and organizational restructuring risk from the integration of the four core companies
