JERA's profit for the fiscal year that ended in March rose 5.2% from a year earlier to 193.5 billion yen ($1.21 billion).

What factors contributed to JERA's profit growth, and why did the company withhold its forecast for the current fiscal year?

The profit increase was supported by a boost in JERA's overseas power generation and renewable energy business. The company did not disclose its performance forecast for the current fiscal year due to market uncertainty caused by the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the resulting closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil and LNG passes.
