1

Operating revenues reached a record high, but fell short of the Q1 assumption1 in the

earnings forecast

  • The average price per passenger exceeded the Q1 target, rising by JPY 861 (+7.5%) year-on-year to JPY 12,330, driven by strategic price increases

  • While a decrease was anticipated due to the yield improvement strategy, the number of revenue passengers declined by 6.9% year-on-year to 1,856 thousand, exceeding expectations amid intensified price competition

    2

    Despite posting a seasonal loss, all key profit metrics exceeded their Q1 targets, supported by cost reductions from lower crude oil prices and a stronger yen

  • Operating loss improved year-on-year driven by controlling costs despite increased expenses resulting from reduced government support and increased personnel investments

  • Ordinary loss reflected foreign exchange losses on foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities due to yen appreciation

    3

    Continued focus on evolution and transformation to a more profitable business structure

  • Various measures were implemented, including the introduction of new fares, preparations for launching web reservations for

    forward seats, revisions to various fees, and the expansion of cargo routes

    4

    Ordered six new Boeing 737-8s and three additional 737-10s

  • A total of 20 aircraft have been contracted to replace all of the current fleet of Boeing 737-800s

Note:

1. Hereafter, 'Q1 assumption' will be referred to as 'Q1 target'
