H1 ordinary profit fell ¥22.7 billion to ¥82.7 billion (827 億円) because rising crude prices tied to the Middle East situation created time-lag losses, and net income attributable to owners fell to ¥66.6 billion from ¥94.8 billion. Excluding time lag, ordinary profit rose ¥22.2 billion to ¥108.5 billion and net income rose to ¥85.0 billion, helped by long-term LNG contracts priced competitively against the Japan LNG Cocktail (JLC) benchmark and by US and Australian businesses. The full-year forecast keeps reported ordinary profit at ¥190.0 billion and net income at ¥145.0 billion. Excluding time lag, the forecast rises to ¥226.0 billion ordinary profit (+¥29.0 billion) and ¥170.5 billion net income, with ROIC 6.2% and ROE 9.4%. Second-half assumptions are now JCC crude at $100/bbl and ¥155/$.
Two stacked sections (H1 actual, full-year forecast), each with a navy label tab, bullet commentary on the left and a two-block comparison table on the right; small assumptions table bottom left.
Because LNG supply is diversified and mostly bought under long-term contracts, the Middle East situation has had only a limited direct effect on supply. Osaka Gas holds no long-term contracts with countries whose cargoes must pass through the Strait of Hormuz, and its main suppliers are Australia, Papua New Guinea, Russia and the US. On earnings, domestic time-lag losses continue, but underlying profit benefits from competitively priced long-term LNG and higher power market prices. Sales volumes show no major impact, and Australian upstream earnings gain from higher oil prices.

Ordinary profit excluding time lag is expected to grow from ¥198.0 billion in FY3/24 to ¥226.0 billion in FY3/27, an increase of ¥28.0 billion (+14.1%). Over the three years, Domestic Energy rises ¥6.2 billion (+9.8%) on gas price optimization and Himeji power sales. Overseas Energy rises ¥24.8 billion (+31.2%) on hedged US upstream production, a more stable Freeport LNG and US power value-up. Life & Business Solutions (LBS) rises ¥9.4 billion (+30.5%) on urban-development asset rotation. ROIC is forecast at 6.2% against a 5.0% target, and ROE at 9.4% against an 8.0% target.

Cumulative investment for FY3/25–FY3/27 is forecast at ¥886.4 billion against an original plan of ¥830.0 billion, up from ¥686.0 billion in FY3/22–FY3/24. Overseas growth investment is ¥333.5 billion versus a ¥225.0 billion plan, LBS is ¥184.5 billion versus ¥150.0 billion, Domestic is ¥137.7 billion and quality-improvement investment is ¥230.5 billion. Key projects include the Himeji natural gas power station (unit 1 from January 2026, unit 2 from May 2026), US upstream, Indian city gas and renewables, central-city property development, and the Amagasaki–Kumiyama high-pressure trunk line.
Three stacked bars (prior plan cumulative, current plan, current forecast) with segment colors; right side lists major investments by segment with colored accent bars.
Osaka Gas pays a progressive dividend that it does not cut in principle, uses a dividend-on-equity (DOE) ratio raised from 3.0% to 3.5%, and adds flexible buybacks. The annual dividend rises from ¥82.5 per share in FY3/24 to ¥130 planned for FY3/27, the seventh straight increase since FY3/20. Total returns grew from ¥20.7 billion in FY3/20 to ¥116.4 billion in FY3/26, which included a ¥70.0 billion buyback, and the FY3/27 buyback limit is ¥80.0 billion. Buybacks over the plan period total ¥190.0 billion.
Policy and achievement boxes on the left; combo chart on the right with stacked bars (dividends + buybacks) and a red DPS line, with milestone callouts for progressive dividend/DOE introduction and the DOE increase.
Operating cash flow over the plan is now expected at ¥911.0 billion, ¥91.0 billion above the ¥820.0 billion plan, helped by domestic power, US shale gas and urban development. Asset rotation includes the sale of stakes in US thermal power plants. On the cash-out side, growth investment rises to ¥656.0 billion (+¥96.0 billion) and quality investment is ¥231.0 billion. Shareholder returns are strengthened through the DOE increase and ¥190.0 billion of buybacks.

The next plan covers four years, FY2027–FY2030 (FY3/28–FY3/31). It aims to grow profit through organic growth in each segment while investing in growth drivers for the 2030s and in resilience. Targets for the early 2030s are ROIC of about 6% and ROE of about 10%, compared with FY3/27 forecasts of 5.3%/6.2% for ROIC and 8.0%/9.4% for ROE (reported/excluding time lag). Segment ROICs are 2.3% for Domestic Energy (power growth, solutions, energy cybersecurity), 10.5% for Overseas Energy (stable US/Australia earnings, high growth in India) and 6.1% for LBS (urban development, information, materials).

Gas sales volume fell from 8.6 billion m³ in FY3/18 to 6.6 billion m³ in FY3/26 and is now leveling off, forecast at 6.7 billion m³. Gas supply contracts are about 5.14 million. Power sales grew from 8.9 TWh in FY3/17 to 17.2 TWh in FY3/26 and are forecast at 20.9 TWh in FY3/27, with 2.0 million power contracts. Customer accounts rose from 7.62 million to 10.89 million and are forecast at 10.98 million, against a FY3/31 goal of 11.5 million, and include more than 1.2 million accounts outside Kansai. The company plans to meet data-center and AI-driven power demand with its own generation and to cross-sell nationwide.
Three bar-chart panels (gas, power, customer accounts) with trend lines and pink forecast/target bars, each with a colored takeaway box below.
This slide maps the Daigas energy value chain: about 12.4 million tonnes of LNG handled, about 3.25 GW of domestic thermal capacity and 1.5 GW of renewables (equity share), about 64,100 km of gas pipelines, about 6.6 billion m³ of gas and 17.2 TWh of power sold, and about 10.89 million customer accounts. Growth initiatives cover three areas. To expand the business base, the company is growing LNG procurement, power trading and power sales. To lift earnings power, it is pushing renewable PPAs, solution services (Smile Selection, D-Lineup) beyond Kansai and more tariff menus. For productivity, it relies on the efficient Himeji plant and AI-native ways of working.
Left half: vertical value-chain stack (procurement, generation, supply, retail) with icons and capacity figures; right half: three initiative rows with checkmark bullets.
The financial strategy is to grow investments that keep a positive ROIC–WACC spread and to lift ROIC and ROE through cash generation and equity control, with an ROIC target of 6% in the early 2030s. Cash allocation favors strategic investment to strengthen the value chain and a progressive dividend based on DOE. A flexible capital allocation frame adds strategic investment or equity control to reach the ROE target.

Net sales rose ¥66.1 billion to ¥1,025.3 billion (10,253 億円) on higher power volumes. Ordinary profit fell ¥22.7 billion to ¥82.7 billion because of time-lag losses, but rose ¥22.2 billion to ¥108.5 billion excluding time lag. Net income attributable to owners was ¥66.6 billion, or ¥85.0 billion excluding time lag. EBITDA was ¥153.2 billion reported and ¥179.1 billion excluding time lag (+¥29.2 billion). EBITDA is defined as operating profit plus equity-method income plus depreciation and amortization.
Two headline bullets above a results table split into 'including time lag' and 'excluding time lag' blocks; the ordinary profit row is outlined with a P.17 link tab.
Reported ordinary profit fell from ¥105.4 billion to ¥82.7 billion. Time lag cost ¥45.0 billion (gas −¥35.1 billion, power −¥9.9 billion). Domestic Energy otherwise added ¥2.6 billion: gas margin +¥12.3 billion, power −¥11.2 billion, other +¥1.6 billion. Overseas Energy added ¥15.4 billion (US +¥10.0 billion, Australia +¥5.2 billion), LBS ¥3.6 billion and other items ¥0.5 billion. Excluding time lag, ordinary profit rose from ¥86.2 billion to ¥108.5 billion. Drivers were the JLC-relative competitiveness of long-term LNG, US and Australian upstream gains and the reversal of last year's US renewables valuation loss.
Two side-by-side waterfall charts (with and without time lag) with segment labels beneath and red/blue total arrows at the bottom.
Domestic Energy segment profit swung from ¥40.0 billion to −¥2.2 billion. Its time lag moved from +¥19.1 billion to −¥25.8 billion, with gas from +¥15.1 billion to −¥19.9 billion and power from +¥4.0 billion to −¥5.8 billion. The gas margin excluding time lag rose to ¥120.8 billion. Power profit fell to ¥1.4 billion on Himeji fixed costs and thinner trading margins, partly offset by higher market prices. Overseas Energy rose to ¥60.5 billion: US ¥51.7 billion, Australia ¥11.8 billion. LBS rose to ¥20.2 billion: urban development ¥14.1 billion on rental property sales, materials ¥4.4 billion on overseas activated carbon. Non-operating income rose ¥4.3 billion from the sale of a US thermal plant stake.

The forecast was revised for Middle East-driven market moves and recent trends. Net sales are now ¥2,254.0 billion, up ¥84.0 billion because the fuel cost adjustment raises gas unit prices. Reported ordinary profit stays at ¥190.0 billion and net income at ¥145.0 billion. Excluding time lag, ordinary profit rises ¥29.0 billion to ¥226.0 billion, net income ¥20.6 billion to ¥170.5 billion and EBITDA to ¥373.0 billion. ROIC excluding time lag is 6.2% (+0.7pt) and ROE 9.4% (+1.2pt). October–March assumptions are JCC $100/bbl (+$20) and ¥155/$ (¥5 stronger yen).

Including time lag, ordinary profit stays at ¥190.0 billion. A further ¥29.0 billion time-lag loss (gas −¥23.0 billion, power −¥6.0 billion) is offset by the gas business margin (+¥13.5 billion), US Freeport LNG (+¥5.5 billion) and Australian upstream (+¥10.0 billion). Excluding time lag, the forecast rises from ¥197.0 billion to ¥226.0 billion.
Two waterfall charts side by side with segment label boxes for Domestic and Overseas Energy.
Domestic Energy is cut to ¥34.0 billion from ¥49.5 billion. The full-year time lag deepens to −¥36.0 billion (gas −¥24.0 billion, power −¥12.0 billion) because crude prices have risen and stay high, while the gas margin excluding time lag rises to ¥269.1 billion. Overseas Energy is raised to ¥104.5 billion: US ¥85.4 billion (+¥5.5 billion from Freeport LNG) and Australia ¥25.2 billion (+¥10.0 billion on oil prices). LBS is unchanged at ¥40.5 billion (urban development ¥22.8 billion, information ¥8.2 billion, materials ¥8.8 billion).

A 1°C rise in air and water temperature cuts residential gas volume by about 7%. For changes from October 1, 2026, each +$1/bbl in JCC crude lowers consolidated ordinary profit by ¥1.15 billion including time lag and by ¥0.21 billion excluding it: Overseas Energy gains while Domestic Energy loses. A ¥1 weaker yen per dollar lowers ordinary profit by ¥1.0 billion including time lag but raises it by ¥0.24 billion excluding time lag. The assumptions are JCC $100/bbl and ¥155/$.
Three labeled blocks: temperature sensitivity row, crude/FX sensitivity table by segment, and an assumptions table.
The fuel cost adjustment system passes changes in raw-material costs, driven by FX and crude prices, through to gas tariffs, which limits the long-term earnings impact. Each month the three-month average fuel price, based on LNG/LPG trade statistics, is compared with a base price and reflected in tariffs three months later. Pass-through can therefore lag by up to five months, creating time-lag losses within a fiscal year when prices rise and time-lag gains when they fall. In the model case, costs follow JCC by about three months and tariffs follow by about two more months.
Explanation bullets with a month-grid table on the right; lower half pairs a bullet explanation with a stepped line diagram of cost versus tariff showing red loss and blue gain areas.
Monthly JCC in FY3/27 ran at about $100–117/bbl, against about $66–79 a year earlier. The yen was about ¥156–163/$, against ¥145–159. Quarterly time lag: FY3/25 +¥4.2 billion; FY3/26 +¥9.1 billion (gas +¥6.2 billion, power +¥2.9 billion); FY3/27 Q1 −¥7.7 billion and Q2 −¥18.1 billion, for an H1 total of −¥25.8 billion (gas −¥19.9 billion, power −¥5.8 billion). The full-year forecast is −¥36.0 billion. A stylized chart shows gas revenue lagging cost across the three fiscal years.

Osaka Gas presents its strength as a portfolio that treats the whole value chain as one and combines areas to earn stable profit. At the core, Domestic Energy covers LNG procurement and trading, gas manufacturing, generation, renewables, the network and retail/wholesale. Overseas Energy (high ROIC and a natural hedge for domestic earnings) covers US shale gas, Freeport LNG, US power, Australian upstream, and Indian city gas and renewables. LBS covers materials, information and urban development, drawing on the domestic brand and know-how.

In the residential market, switching among existing customers is declining but competition continues when people move. New entrants hold about 21.7% of Kansai residential gas volume, flat at around 20%. In the commercial and industrial market, demand for fuel switching, energy saving and labor saving is rising, supported by Japan's 7th Strategic Energy Plan and a 2024 subsidy. Initiatives include cross-selling and nationwide expansion. Offerings include household services (Sumikata support, Smile-Roof solar), gas equipment (ENE-FARM, cogeneration), D-Lineup B2B solutions, renewable power and off-site PPAs, with a push into the Tokyo area.

Himeji natural gas power station units 1 and 2 began operation in 2026, with up to 64% efficiency (+7pt versus the Senboku units), which lowers generation costs and improves resilience to market volatility. Equity generation capacity including renewables reached 4.79 GW at September 2026, up from 3.04 GW in FY3/24. Power profit excluding time lag was ¥17.5 billion in FY3/24, ¥39.8 billion in FY3/25 and ¥26.5 billion in FY3/26. It is expected to dip in FY3/27 on market rule changes and Himeji fixed costs before rising toward the FY3/31 target as Himeji contributes.

In 2019 Osaka Gas became the first Japanese company to buy 100% of a US shale gas developer, Sabine, which operates in East Texas and North Louisiana with nearby pipelines and LNG export and petrochemical demand. The company hedges 70–80% of annual sales volume at the start of each year and raises output when prices are high. Production rose from 1.7 million tonnes per year (LNG equivalent) in FY3/20 to 3.9 million in FY3/26, with 4.0 million forecast for FY3/27. Acreage grew from about 1,000 km² to about 2,100 km² in 2025, and the company aims to keep about ten years of drilling inventory.

India aims to raise natural gas from 6% to 15% of primary energy by 2030. Gas demand is projected to grow from 68.3 billion m³ in 2024 to 180.7 billion m³ in 2040, with city gas up about 2.6 times to 79.0 billion m³, led by transport (CNG). Osaka Gas entered in 2021 through Osaka Gas Singapore with JOIN, taking a stake in a holding company led by I Squared Capital, as the first Japanese company in Indian city gas. It invested more in 2024 through a consortium with Sumitomo Corporation, JOIN and Konoike Transport. It is the only city-gas operator among the investors, and it supports the THINK GAS brand.

Think Gas holds exclusive rights in 19 areas covering about 320,000 km², roughly 10% of India's land and about 90% of Japan's area. Its sales volume grew from 150 million m³ in FY3/24 to 570 million m³ in FY3/26 and is forecast at 820 million m³. The target is 3.5 billion m³ in the early 2030s, about half of Osaka Gas's domestic volume, with about ¥10.0 billion of equity-share ordinary profit. Transport takes about 70% of volume, and CNG stations grew from 192 in 2021 to 531 in 2025. In renewables, Osaka Gas has partnered with Clean Max since 2025 and targets 400 MW of assets by FY3/29.

The group develops condominiums and rental housing end to end in Kansai and central Tokyo, with about 250 properties and 17,000 units supplied to date. These properties contribute about 5.8 million m³ per year of gas sales and use products such as Kanta-kun dryers and ENE-FARM. Sales to a private REIT are planned to grow from about ¥20 billion of assets (FY3/24) to about ¥50 billion (FY3/27) and ¥100 billion (FY3/31). Examples include Grand Green Osaka (3,000 kW cogeneration, 5,000 RT district heating and cooling, ENE-FARM in 1,040 condo units) and the MFLP/OGUD Osaka Nishijima logistics facility (2024) with D-solar panels.

Japanese corporate IT investment is rising with legacy modernization and AI. The top reasons for higher IT budgets are system renewal (60.3%), yen weakness and vendor price increases (45.6%), cloud services (44.9%), AI (43.7%) and digitalization (39.7%). The group runs about 600 internal systems, and information-business sales split about 40% internal and 60% external. At OGIS-RI, about 1,600 external clients are 42% manufacturing, 24% finance, 14% public/utilities/energy, 6% transport and 14% other (FY2023). The plan is to use AI for productivity and to specialize in strong industries.

Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
It is the Daigas Group (Osaka Gas Co., Ltd., TSE: 9532) presentation of interim results for the first half of the fiscal year ending March 2027, released October 29, 2026. Its 57 slides cover the results summary, Medium-Term Management Plan progress, the direction of the 2027–2030 plan, Q2 results, the revised full-year forecast, supplementary data and business-by-business initiatives.
Yes. The original is a Japanese-language earnings presentation (決算説明会資料), titled 'Daigasグループ 2027年3月期 第2四半期決算 プレゼンテーション資料'. It was disclosed on TDnet, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's timely disclosure system. This page gives an English page-by-page summary, and the downloadable PDF is the original Japanese file.
Osaka Gas's fiscal year runs from April to March. The year from April 2026 to March 2027 is labeled FY2026 here and '27.3期' (FY3/27) in the deck. H1 means April–September 2026.
H1 net sales were ¥1,025.3 billion (10,253 億円). Ordinary profit was ¥82.7 billion, down ¥22.7 billion because of time-lag losses, but ¥108.5 billion excluding time lag (+¥22.2 billion). Net income attributable to owners was ¥66.6 billion. The full-year forecast is ¥190.0 billion ordinary profit and ¥145.0 billion net income. Excluding time lag, it is ¥226.0 billion and ¥170.5 billion, with ROIC 6.2% and ROE 9.4%.
Under Japan's fuel cost adjustment system, changes in LNG costs are passed through to gas tariffs with a delay of up to about five months. When crude prices rise, as in 2026, costs rise before tariffs do and the company books temporary time-lag losses. When prices fall, it books gains. Osaka Gas shows every key metric both including and excluding this effect.
The dividend is progressive (not cut in principle) with a DOE target of 3.5%. The FY3/27 annual dividend is planned at ¥130 per share, the seventh straight increase since FY3/20, and up to ¥80.0 billion of buybacks is authorized. Buybacks over the current plan total ¥190.0 billion.
The next plan covers FY2027–FY2030. It targets ROIC of about 6% and ROE of about 10% in the early 2030s through organic growth in Domestic Energy, Overseas Energy (US, Australia, India) and LBS. It also invests in growth drivers for the 2030s, in resilience and in DX/AI.
