Supplementary Materials on Financial Results for the Second Quarter (Interim Period) of the Fiscal Year Ending March 2027 (Fiscal 2026)

In the interim period of fiscal 2026, operating revenue increased on higher transportation revenue and increased revenue at group companies, while operating profit and interim net income attributable to owners of the parent declined due to higher operating expenses, including labor costs. Reflecting first-half results and other factors, the company revised upward its full-year forecasts for operating revenue, operating profit, ordinary profit and net income, and also decided to increase the dividend and repurchase treasury shares.

The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

Transportation revenue increased as demand from business travelers, tourists and inbound visitors remained solid, more than offsetting the impact of the Osaka-Kansai Expo held in the previous fiscal year. Operating expenses increased due to higher labor costs and other expenses at the company and its group companies. The upward revision to the full-year forecasts reflects first-half results and other factors.
