Executive summary
H1 revenue reached ¥1,098.9bn, up 11.7% YoY, while EBIT was ¥70.1bn; strong passenger unit revenue and non-aviation earnings partly offset higher fuel costs and a weaker yen.
Q2 EBIT of ¥57.4bn offset the Q1 shortfall, bringing H1 EBIT above plan; full-year forecasts remained unchanged.
Financial highlights
H1 operating expenses rose 16.5% to ¥1,038.2bn, including fuel expense up 47.4% to ¥285.6bn; expenses excluding fuel increased 8.0% to ¥752.6bn.
H1 EBITDA was ¥156.4bn, down 18.5% YoY; profit attributable to owners of the parent was ¥39.1bn, down 42.2%.
Q2 revenue rose 12.2% YoY to ¥575.2bn; EBIT was ¥57.4bn, down 10.5%, with a 10.0% margin.
