I. Cumulative 3Q FY2021 Financial Highlights

Application of the netting method in the energy business

  • Unless specified otherwise, all figures in this presentation use the netting method* that is expected to be used due to the application of the Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition
    (Accounting Standards Board of Japan Statement No. 29).
  • The use of this standard is required beginning with the fiscal year ending in Jun. 2022. However, because the performance of the Energy Business, which is a major component of consolidated results of operations, has a significant effect on investment decisions, both net and gross figures are shown in this presentation in order to facilitate easy comparisons with performance in prior years and to provide a thorough explanation of results of operations.
  • The application of the netting method will 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 ending 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.
