Operating Results Overview
Consolidated operating revenue for the nine 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. Net income attributable to owners of the parent also rose for the first time in two periods.

Notes to Quarterly Consolidated Financial Statements
The quarterly consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 4, Paragraph 1, of the Standards for the Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Fukuoka Stock Exchange, Inc. and generally accepted accounting standards in Japan regarding quarterly financial statements. (However, the omission of the description prescribed in Article 4, Paragraph 2 of the Standards for the Preparation of Quarterly Financial Statements is applied.)
(Notes on Going Concern Assumption)
None
(Changes in the Scope of Consolidation or Application of the Equity Method) (Significant Changes in the Scope of Consolidation)
Meijikensetsu Co., Ltd. and Showatecs Co., Ltd. have been included in the scope of consolidation from the first quarter of FY2026.3 due to their increased materiality. JR Kyushu Linen Co., Ltd. has been excluded from the scope of consolidation from the first quarter 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 nine months of FY2026.3, have been recorded under "loss on disaster." Additionally, estimated costs expected to be incurred during or after the end of the fourth quarter of FY2026.3 have been reasonably calculated and recorded as "provision for loss on disaster" under extraordinary losses during the nine months 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 nine months of FY2026.3, "treasury stock" and "capital surplus" under net assets in the
consolidated balance sheet each decreased by ¥9,999 million.
(Notes Related to the Quarterly Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows)
Quarterly consolidated statements of cash flows have not been prepared for the third quarter of the current fiscal year. Depreciation and amortization expenses (including amortization expenses related to intangible fixed assets excluding goodwill) for the third quarter of the fiscal year under review are as follows.
FY2025/3 Third Quarter
(Nine months ended December 31, 2024)
FY2026/3 Third Quarter
(Nine months ended December 31, 2025)
Depreciation costs ¥28,455 million ¥29,703 million (Note) Amortization of goodwill is omitted because the amounts are immaterial.
