The domestic LP gas market is welcoming a large period of change, with a scramble for clients beyond the boundaries of the gas industry through the full liberalization of retail power and city gas, as well as the reorganization of oil sales companies, etc. However, turning to the overseas market, economic growth in Asian countries is leading LP gas demand to grow year by year, and we expect largely expanded synergies with our existing businesses going forward. In the Home-Life Division, our business must stay one step ahead of the times, as we work to understand the needs of the market and customers and pursue the streamlining and increased efficiency of our operations. We provide added value in our existing strengths and continue to be “Our Customers’ First Choice” both in Japan and overseas.
