    The decline in revenues from operations is primarily due to a drop in gasoline prices. The decline in operating income is primarily due to a drop gross profit on gasolineand an increase selling, general and administrative expenses accompanying an increase in stores. Operating loss for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 is mainly due to interest expense of $130 million (¥14,141 million).
