Qualitative Information on Operating Results-
Operating Results (April 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025)
During this nine-month period, the economy in Japan was in a moderate recovery trend due to an improvement in the employment and income environment, and expansion of inbound consumption. On the other hand, the outlook still requires careful attention due to weak personal consumption caused by continuous rising prices, the effects of the U.S. trade policy, the prolonged geopolitical risks, fluctuations in financial capital markets including exchange rates, and other factors.
In the domestic airline market in which the Company operates, travel demand continued to be strong due to a shift toward domestic travel caused by the weak yen and rising prices overseas. However, domestic airlines have strengthened their promotions to capture the robust non-business demand, resulting in an even more intense price competition environment than before.
In such a situation, the number of revenue passengers during the period reached 6,006,971 (down 3.0% as compared to a year earlier). Although the number of revenue passengers decreased due to the strategic pricing aimed at maximizing revenue, the Company has worked to improve the yield management in order to optimize the balance between unit fare and revenue passenger volume. As a result, despite the challenging business environment, unit fare per passenger exceeded that a year earlier, and operating revenue reached a record high for the nine months period.
On the other hand, operating expenses are increasing due to the continuously weak yen, rising prices caused by global inflation, reduced government support, and other factors. In response to these cost increases, the Company has worked to contain expenses through self-help measures such as reviewing operational tasks and thorough cost control; however, these efforts were insufficient to offset all the increased costs. Furthermore, costs increased due to the addition of
provision for future maintenance plans, reflecting the recent situation in which aircraft maintenance costs, particularly engine maintenance cost, have risen more than expected. As a result, operating income decreased as compared to a year earlier.
The Company has been working on the management policies for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026: "Evolution and transformation into a highly profitable business structure" and "Preparations for dramatic growth in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027 and beyond." The Company has implemented an online reservation system for forward seats with the aim of improving customer convenience; revisions of various fees, and introduction of new fares for young people. In addition, in October 2025, the Company implemented a charter flight between Kobe and Taipei (Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport) to examine business possibilities of international flight. In addition, the number of registered users for the My Page service, launched in February 2024, surpassed one million by December 2025. The Company has been working to enhance customer loyalty by utilizing customer data.
(Operating revenues and operating costs)
In this nine-month period, operating revenues amounted to ¥82,893 million, up 1.4%, as compared to a year earlier, due to the rise in unit fare per passenger. Operating costs amounted to ¥76,920 million, up 2.7% as compared to a year earlier, due to the weak yen and the rise in prices caused by global inflation. As a result, operating income amounted to ¥458 million, down 73.0%, as compared to a year earlier.
The Company recorded ¥910 million of foreign exchange gain associated with foreign currency-denominated assets
resulting from the weak yen. As a result, ordinary income amounted to ¥985 million (down 51.7% as compared to a year earlier). Net income amounted to ¥961 million (down 63.9% as compared to a year earlier).

Financial Position (As of December 31, 2025)
Total assets stood at ¥109,769 million, ¥5,881 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to a combined effect of (1) increase in construction in progress by ¥14,389 million including those associated with purchases of airplanes, (2) decrease in cash and bank deposits by ¥6,255 million, and (3) decrease in trade accounts receivable and other receivables by ¥3,278 million.
Total liabilities stood at ¥81,269 million, ¥4,500 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to increase in bank loans associated with purchases of airplanes.
Equity stood at ¥28,500 million, ¥1,380 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to increase in retained earnings by ¥781 million.
