Qualitative Information on Operating Results-
Operating Results (April 1, 2025 to June 30, 2025)
During this three-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, increased uncertainty surrounding
U.S. tariff policy, and escalating tensions in the Middle East and other factors.
In the domestic airline market in which the Company operates, travel demand remained strong due to a shift toward domestic travel caused by the weak yen and rising prices overseas. On the other hand, domestic airlines have enforced their efforts to capture non-business demand, resulting in an even more intense price competition environment than before.
In such a severe situation, the number of revenue passengers during the period reached 1,856,059 (down 6.9% 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 first quarter.
Operating expenses are increasing due to 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.
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," and has revised various fees and charges. In addition, the Company has promoted a wide range of measures, including preparations for the following items: online reservations for forward seats with the aim of improving customer convenience; introduction of new fares for young people; and operation of international charter flights to examine business possibilities.
(Operating revenues and operating costs)
In this three-month period, operating revenues amounted to ¥23,579 million, up 0.2%, as compared to a year earlier, due to the steady passenger demand. Operating costs amounted to ¥23,444 million, down 2.7% as compared to a year earlier, due to a decrease in outsourcing expenses associated with aircraft maintenance. As a result, the Company recorded an operating loss of ¥1,630 million (¥2,182 million a year earlier).
The Company recorded ordinary loss of ¥3,113 million (¥1,024 million a year earlier), due mainly to ¥1,054 million of foreign exchange loss associated with assets denominated in foreign currencies resulting from the appreciation of the yen,
which was recorded in the non-operating losses section. Net loss amounted to ¥2,774 million (¥1,516 million a year earlier).
-
Financial Position (As of June 30, 2025)
Total assets stood at ¥104,604 million, ¥715 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to a combined effect of decrease in (1) cash and bank deposits by ¥1,529 million and (2) other receivables by ¥1,006 million, and increase in (1) construction in progress by ¥1,715 million associated with purchases of airplanes and (2) machinery and equipment by ¥1,623 million associated with purchases of full flight simulators.
Total liabilities stood at ¥81,286 million, ¥4,517 million up from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to increase in contract liabilities by ¥3,450 million and derivative payables by ¥893 million.
Equity stood at ¥23,317 million, ¥3,801 million down from the previous fiscal year-end. This was mainly attributable to decrease in retained earnings by ¥2,954 million due to dividends paid and net loss for the period.
