Consolidated Financial Highlights for the Six-Month Period

Ended September 30, 2025

Key points

(bil)

  • Owing to higher railway transportation revenues stemming from revised fares and charges, plus higher real estate sales revenue, consolidated operating revenues, operating income, and ordinary income increased year on year.

※Note: EBITDA = operating income + depreciation expense (excluding depreciation of leased assets held for subleasing purposes).

The same applies hereafter

Due to extraordinary losses resulting from

"The heavy rains beginning August 6, 2025" and the cancellation of the project utilizing the space above the tracks at Hakata Station, net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased year on year.

  • I will begin by explaining the financial results for the first six months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.

  • Operating revenue increased by ¥29.2 billion year on year to ¥237.6 billion, primarily due to higher railway transportation revenues from fare and charge revisions, and higher real estate sales revenue from condominium handovers and the sale of owned properties.

  • Operating income rose by ¥11.3 billion to ¥40.8 billion, supported by the increase in operating revenue. EBITDA also rose by ¥12.0 billion to ¥59.6 billion.

  • Meanwhile, net income attributable to owners of the

    parent decreased by ¥0.3 billion year on year to ¥22.3 billion, as the increase in operating income was offset by the recording of extraordinary losses.

  • I will now explain the extraordinary losses.

  • "The heavy rains beginning August 6, 2025" caused damage to the Kagoshima Main Line, Nippo Main Line, Hisatsu Line, and other routes. Operations between Yoshimatsu and Hayato on the Hisatsu Line remain suspended, with substitute bus service in place.

  • As a result of the damage from this rainfall, we recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately

    ¥1.4 billion, including a provision for disaster-related losses.

  • Please turn to the next slide.



    About the Recording of Extraordinary Losses ②
    • We recorded extraordinary losses due to "The heavy rains beginning August 6, 2025" and the cancellation of the project utilizing the space above the tracks at Hakata Station.

      The cancellation of the project utilizing the space above the tracks at Hakata Station

      2019

      March

      Project team launched; deliberations began

      2021

      September

      Approved by the Board of Directors

      Plan envisions development including office, hotel,

      and retail space in a 12-story building (one basement

      level, 12 above-ground levels), spanning the area

      above the tracks at Hakata Station

      October Preliminary temporary construction work for railway facilities began in advance

      2022 March Announced as the "the project utilizing the space

      above the tracks at Hakata Station"

      2025 September Board of Directors decided to cancel the project; cancellation announced

      • Because the planned site is located directly above the tracks at Hakata Station, the construction would be highly complex and prolonged, resulting in a significant impact from rising construction costs. It was determined that the total construction cost would be nearly double the initial estimate.

      • In response, the Company reviewed the building's scale and intended uses (assets), redesigned plans, and examined construction methods to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Various possibilities were explored, including adjustments to revenue and cost structures. Despite these efforts, the Company concluded that formulating a feasible business plan was not possible. Accordingly, the Board of Directors resolved to cancel the project in September 2025.

      • Approximately ¥8.7 billion in project withdrawal losses has been recorded as an extraordinary loss.

      6

  • I will now explain the cancellation of the project utilizing the space above the tracks at Hakata Station.

  • Upon confirming that the construction costs would be nearly double the initial estimate, we explored various options, but ultimately determined that it would be difficult to formulate a feasible business plan, and decided to cancel the project.

  • As a result, we recorded a loss of approximately

    ¥8.7 billion related to project withdrawal as an

    extraordinary loss.

  • Next, I will explain our full-year performance and dividend forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Please turn to slide 11.

  • We revised the full-year performance forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, reflecting customer trends following fare and charge revisions, income and expense trends across segments, and the impact of extraordinary losses. As a result, we have made upward revisions to operating revenue, operating income, and ordinary income, and a downward revision to net income attributable to owners of the parent, relative to the initial forecast.

  • Although net income attributable to owners of the parent was revised downward from the initial forecast, we have maintained our annual dividend forecast at ¥115.0 per share and resolved to pay an interim dividend of ¥57.5 per share.

  • Next, I will explain the status of our business segments. Please turn to slide 20.

  • I will begin with the Transportation segment.

  • Railway transportation revenues exceeded expectations overall during the three-month period. Commuter revenues were above forecast, while non-commuter revenues were roughly in line with expectations.

  • While personnel expenses increased due to base pay adjustments, some timing differences in repair costs and other items resulted in total railway business expenses trending slightly below expectations.

  • First, in the real estate leasing business, tenant sales at station buildings remained slightly above the previous year's level. Operating revenue trended above the prior-year level and in line with expectations, supported by increased rent income and contributions from newly operational assets, particularly rental apartments.

  • While there have been some tenant changes at station buildings, occupancy rates at office buildings and rental apartments have remained solid.

strategies

base

  • In April, we launched the Medium-Term Business Plan 2025-2027, which is positioned as a period for achieving sustainable growth over the long term. Under this plan, we are advancing three key strategies.

  • While we expect to continue pursuing these main strategies, we plan to carefully reassess the numerical targets of the plan based on the revised performance forecast for FY2026.3 and further consideration of business trends in the coming fiscal years.

    [Renovated restroom inside the central ticket gate at Hakata Station]

    Designs inspired by local elements such as Hakata magemono bentwood and Hakata-ori textiles, layout updates for improved usability, and signage indicating available stalls have been installed.

    We are conducting a renovation project to ensure

    customers can use station restrooms comfortably.

    Renovations include replacing fixtures, upgrading interiors, and updating signage, based on usage conditions and aging of facilities.

    Renovations have been completed at 13 stations including Hakata Station (inside the central ticket gate); renovations at 9 more stations are planned within this fiscal year.

    Note: The design is for illustrative purposes only.

    "Love a Toilet Project"

    Information such as departure boards at stations will be

    made available via a web browser to improve convenience by providing real-time information.

    To reduce maintenance costs, operational data will be moved to the cloud and the traditional departure boards at each station will be replaced with LCD monitors.

    A limited trial was conducted at select stations in October 2025.

    Key Strategy (1) Realize Sustainable Mobility Services: Increase in Value

    Provided to Customers

    • We are implementing initiatives to improve customer satisfaction and create a more comfortable user environment, using increased railway transportation revenues from fare revisions as a source of funding.

  • I will now introduce initiatives aimed at enhancing value provided to customers, funded by fare and charge revisions.

  • First, I will explain the next-generation guidance system. By providing information such as departure board displays via a web browser, passengers will be able to check real-time train operation information. We conducted pilot testing at select stations in October and are continuing preparations for full rollout.

  • We are also proceeding with restroom renovations to improve comfort, including at Hakata Station inside the central ticket gate.
