Operating Results Overview
Consolidated operating revenue for the six months under review increased for the fifth consecutive period, driven by higher railway transportation revenue and growth in revenue from the sale of real estate. As a result, consolidated operating income and consolidated ordinary income also rose for the fifth consecutive period. However, due to the booking of a loss associated with the cancellation of the project utilizing the space above the tracks at Hakata Station, net income attributable to owners of the parent declined for the second consecutive period.

(Notes on Going Concern Assumption)
None
(Changes in the Scope of Consolidation or Application of the Equity Method)
Meijikensetsu Co., Ltd. and Showatecs Co., Ltd. have been included in the scope of consolidation from the first half of FY2026.3 due to their increased materiality.
JR Kyushu Linen Co., Ltd. has been excluded from the scope of consolidation from the first half of FY2026.3 following its absorption-type merger into JR Kyushu Service Support Co., Ltd., the surviving company.
(Notes on Significant Changes in the Value of Shareholders' Equity)
None
(Additional Information)
(Damage caused by the "Heavy Rains Beginning August 6, 2025")
In August 2025, heavy rainfall occurred across parts of Kyushu, causing damage such as mudslides and embankment collapses on the Nippo Main Line, Hisatsu Line, and other lines. Of the restoration-related costs stemming from this event, those incurred during the first half of FY2026.3, have been recorded under "loss on disaster." Additionally, estimated costs expected to be incurred after the first half of FY2026.3 onward have been reasonably calculated and recorded as "provision for loss on disaster" under extraordinary losses during the first half of FY2026.3.
(Cancellation of Treasury Stock)
At a meeting of the Board of Directors held on September 2, 2025, the Company resolved to cancel treasury stock pursuant to Article 178 of the Companies Act.
Reason for the cancellation: To enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency
Type of shares cancelled: Common stock of the Company
Total number of shares cancelled: 2,652,600 shares
(Equivalent to 1.69% of total shares outstanding before cancellation)
Effective date of cancellation: September 9, 2025
As a result, during the first half of FY2026.3, "treasury stock" and "capital surplus" under net assets in the
consolidated balance sheet each decreased by ¥9,999 million.
