Highlights for Q3 FY2025

*In this material, definitions are, FY: fiscal year (from April 1 to March 31 of the next year), Q1: from April to June, Q2: from July to September, Q3: from October to December, Q4: from January to March

Operating revenues for the cumulative Q3 reached a record high, as performance in Q3

  1. progressed generally in line with the earnings forecast.

    • Average price per passenger increased JPY562 (+4.4%) year-on-year to JPY13,406 for Q1-Q3 driven by strategic fare increases measures.

    • The number of revenue passengers, which had been trending negative year-on-year due to intensified price competition, turned to a year-on-year increase in Q3 thanks to successful measures to optimize the number of passengers and average price per

      passenger.

      Operating income was slightly below the cumulative Q3 target due to an increase in provision for maintenance (originally expected in Q4). Ordinary income and items below exceeded targets due to the recording of foreign exchange gains resulting from yen

  2. depreciation.

    • Operating income was below the cumulative Q3 target. While ongoing efforts to reduce controllable costs were more effective than expected, income was impacted by an increase in maintenance provisions to appropriately reflect soaring maintenance costs driven by inflation. This increase was originally planned for the fourth quarter but recorded in the third quarter as a timing difference, resulting in no impact on the full-year earnings forecast.

    • Ordinary income and income before income taxes, which serve as the basis for our dividends, exceeded targets due to foreign exchange gains on revaluation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities.

  3. First new Boeing 737-8 aircraft expected to be received in April 2026.

    • Skymark to become the first Japanese airline to receive the Boeing 737-8.

This slide outlines our highlights for Q3 FY2025.

We start with the top line. Operating revenues were generally in line with plans, reaching a record high for Q1-Q3.

The average price per passenger increased 4.4% year-on-year to JPY13,406,

driven by strategic increases.

The number of revenue passengers, which had been trending negative year on year due to intensified price competition, turned to a year-on-year increase in Q3 thanks to successful measures.

The next point is about the state of our profit indicators. Regarding operating income, ongoing efforts to reduce controllable costs were more effective than expected. On the other hand, it was below the Q3 target due to an increase in maintenance provisions to appropriately reflect soaring maintenance costs driven by inflation. As this was originally planned for Q4 and represents a timing difference, there is no impact on the full-year earnings forecast. In addition, ordinary income, income before income taxes (which serve as the basis for our dividend calculation), and net income exceeded targets due to the recording of foreign exchange gains on the revaluation of foreign

currency-denominated assets and liabilities.

The third point is regarding the introduction of new aircraft. Delivery of the first Boeing 737-8 is expected in April 2026. Skymark will be the first airline in Japan to introduce this aircraft.

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

As a result of efforts to appropriately control the load factor and average price per passenger in response to intensified price competition, the number of revenue passengers in Q3 turned to year-on-year growth, reaching 100.3%.

We believe that the introduction of new fares for young passengers, which helped the early capture of bookings, contributed to this improvement.

We will continue to enhance our revenue management efforts while seeking the optimal balance between load factor and average price per passenger.

While the load factor decreased by 3.2 percentage points year-on-year to 79.9%, yield increased by 5.5% to JPY12.8, and the average price per passenger increased by JPY562 to JPY13,406. In response to intensifying price competition in non-business demand, we are accurately capturing

demand by ensuring dynamic pricing based on specific routes and time slots.

We will continue to take action to address this severe competitive environment.

Changes in Operating Income (vs. Q1-Q3 FY2024)

Despite increased revenue and lower costs driven by reduced crude oil prices, operating profit declined.

This was due to an increase in operating expenses, including fuel costs and taxes, airport usage fees, and personnel expenses, resulting from reduced government support and strengthened investments in human resources

This slide shows the detailed changes in operating income by factor.

In Q1-Q3, despite higher revenue from increased average prices and favorable market conditions due to lower crude oil prices, operating income declined by JPY1.2 billion year-on-year.

This was driven by higher fuel costs, fuel taxes, airport usage fees, and personnel expenses following the reduction in government support and strengthened personnel investment.

This slide shows a detailed breakdown of operating expenses.

Total operating expenses for Q1-Q3 increased by approximately JPY2.3 billion compared to the same period last year. This change can be broken down into a decrease of JPY1.6 billion due to market factors resulting from lower crude oil prices, and an increase of JPY4.0 billion due to other factors. The main components of the JPY4.0 billion increase were fuel costs and fuel taxes due to reduced government support, airport usage fees due to the termination of government support, personnel expenses from strengthened personnel investment, and higher system and outsourcing costs driven by inflation.

In spite of this environment of increasing costs, we are continuing our thorough efforts to control manageable expenses.

This slide shows details for each profit indicator.

Due to the foreign exchange gains recorded on the revaluation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as of the end of Q1-Q3, ordinary income was approximately JPY0.9 billion.

In addition, there were no special gains or losses incurred, and therefore income before income taxes was also approximately JPY0.9 billion, and adjusted net income, which is the basis for our dividends, was approximately JPY0.6 billion.

Net income also did not vary significantly from income before income taxes, at approximately JPY0.9 billion.

Earnings Forecast for FY2025

Next, let me explain our progress toward the earnings forecast.

Operating revenues are progressing generally as expected, in terms of both the average price per passenger and the number of revenue passengers.

Regarding operating income, while ongoing efforts to control manageable expenses have kept it generally in line with expectations, it was slightly below the target due to the impact of additional provision for maintenance. Since this additional provision was originally planned for Q4, it is a timing difference and has no impact on the full-year earnings forecast. Furthermore, we expect a reversal of the provision for engine maintenance of approximately JPY 1.0 billion in Q4, which will have a positive impact on operating income.

Ordinary income, income before income taxes, and net income significantly exceeded targets, primarily due to foreign exchange gains. This resulted from the revaluation of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities as of the end of Q3. The exchange rate was JPY 148.8 per US dollar at the end of Q2 and stood at JPY 156.5 at the end of Q3. This yen depreciation trend resulted in a foreign exchange gain of JPY 1.21 billion. Additionally, net income is subject to change based on the future business plan currently being prepared (fluctuations in income tax adjustments).

We will continue to work hard toward achieving our earnings forecast.
