This slide outlines our highlights for Q1 FY2025.

The first point is our top line. Operating revenues reached a record high in Q1, though they fell short of the target. While the average price per passenger exceeded the target due to strategic price increases, the number of revenue passengers decreased more than the assumed decrease from the higher average price per passenger, with the greater decrease stemming from intensifying price competition.

The second point concerns all key profit metrics. Though we recorded losses due to seasonality, all key profit metrics exceeded the Q1 targets, as expenses decreased due to lower crude oil prices and a stronger yen.

Operating loss improved year on year driven by controlling costs, mainly manageable expenses, although there were increases in expenses due to reduced government support and increased personnel investments. Ordinary loss reflected foreign exchange losses on foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities resulting from yen appreciation.

The third point is our initiatives to evolve and transform into a more profitable business structure, which was set forth in our basic operational policy at the

beginning of the fiscal year. Various measures are being implemented, including the sales of the new Bonvo Young fares, preparations for web reservations for forward seats, revisions to various fees such as cancellation fees and pet fees, and expansion of cargo routes.

The fourth point is regarding the introduction of new aircraft. We have ordered six new Boeing 737-8s and three additional 737-10s to replace all of the current fleet of Boeing 737-800s. A total of 20 aircraft have now been contracted.

Operating Revenues



This is an overview of financial results for Q1 FY2025

Operating revenues reached JPY23.5 billion, a record high for the ninth consecutive quarter.

With respect to costs, operating expenses decreased mainly due to lower crude oil prices and a stronger yen than in the previous year. As a result, operating loss was JPY1.6 billion, a year-on-year improvement of JPY0.5 billion, although still in the red.

Ordinary loss was JPY3.1 billion, mainly due to foreign exchange losses, and net loss was JPY2.7 billion, mainly due to income tax adjustments recorded as a profit. Adjusted net loss, which is the basis for our dividends, was JPY2.0 billion.

(Reference) Monthly Trends



Next, we will talk about the quarterly trend in travel demand.

The number of revenue passengers declined more than expected as a result of strategically raising the average price per passenger, and was 93% year on year in Q1. Given this, to respond to intensifying price competition in non-business demand, we are implementing dynamic pricing strategies based on specific routes and time of day.
