Qualitative Information on Operating Results-
Operating Results (April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025)
During this six-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 rising prices, the effects of the U.S. trade policy, and the prolonged geopolitical risks, 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 3,955,248 (down 4.7% as compared to a year earlier). Although the number of revenue passengers decreased due to the strategic pricing aimed at maximizing revenue, the unit fare per passenger exceeded that from a year earlier. As a result, operating revenue reached a record high for the six months period.
On the other hand, operating expenses are increasing due to the 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. As a result, operating income decreased as compared to 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 launched an international charter flight between Kobe and Taipei (Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport) to examine business possibilities.
(Operating revenues and operating costs)
In this six-month period, operating revenues amounted to ¥54,883 million, up 0.7%, as compared to a year earlier, due to the rise in unit fare per passenger. Operating costs amounted to ¥49,951 million, up 2.5% as compared to a year earlier, due to the rise in prices caused by global inflation. As a result, operating income amounted to ¥1,213 million, down 47.8%, as compared to a year earlier.
The Company recorded ¥709 million of finance fees mainly for borrowings in the non-operating losses section. As a result, ordinary income amounted to ¥491 million (up 412.2% as compared to a year earlier). Net income amounted to ¥475 million (net loss of ¥590 million a year earlier).

Financial Position (As of September 30, 2025)
Total assets stood at ¥107,743 million, ¥3,854 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to combined effect of (1) increase in property and equipment by ¥7,600 million associated with purchases of airplanes, which the Company previously used under lease contracts, by exercising the purchase option, and purchase of full flight simulators, (2) decrease in cash and bank deposits by ¥1,727 million, and (3) decrease in other receivables by ¥906 million.
Total liabilities stood at ¥80,358 million, ¥3,588 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to increase in contract liabilities by ¥2,723 million.
Equity stood at ¥27,385 million, ¥265 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to increase in retained earnings by ¥294 million.
-
Cash Flows (April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025)
