Net income declined mainly because the company resumed income tax payments as it returned to profitability. Net income per share came to 22.89 yen. The price of crude oil and gas remained high due to rising worldwide demand. As natural gas demand is rising in energy-consuming nations, gas-related investments, such as in upstream facilities, by gas-producing nations and major energy companies are expected to continue to increase worldwide. In Japan, oil companies are making a series of large investments in petrochemical facilities to make them more competitive to target opportunities in Asian markets and in facilities targeting the growing gap between prices of heavy and light grades of oil, in addition to conducting large-scale energy-conservation projects. On the strength of these and other factors, Chiyoda recorded consolidated new contracts with a value of 171,738 million yen, a 79.3% increase from the first quarter of the previous fiscal year. Backlog of contracts was 1,035,846 million yen, up 86.1% year-on-year. Major contracts included the Al Khaleej gas development project in Qatar for ExxonMobil Middle East Gas Marketing Limited.
