|

|
| TOKYO July 29, 2005 - ANA today reported a strong financial performance
for the first three months of the current fiscal year ended June
30, 2005. Consolidated revenue increased 5.1% to ¥312.3 billion,
and operating profit rose 32.6% to ¥11.7 billion, compared
with same period in the previous year. A consolidated net profit
of ¥2.1 billion was posted, with recurring profit rising 6%
to ¥6.2 billion. |
| |
| Consolidated net profit fell ¥0.26 billion or 10.9%, due
to an extraordinary loss on the sale of Group owned real property.
|
| |
| ANA Group airlines* carried 10.8 million passengers on domestic
routes, creating revenue of ¥157 billion. This was an increase
of ¥7.7 billion yen or 2.6% from the previous year, bolstered
by the opening of the new Central Japan International Airport (Centrair)
in Nagoya, and the Aichi World Expo 2005 in that region. |
| |
| International passenger numbers fell by one percentage point
to 939,754, affected by anti-Japanese demonstrations in China at
the start of the quarter. However, this was mainly a leisure travel
phenomenon with business travel demand remaining robust. Demand
on European and North American routes, and to resort destinations
was strong, the latter being aided by a favourable Golden Week**
holiday period. International passenger revenues came in at ¥52.7
billion, an increase of ¥2.7 billion year-on-year. |
| |
| Load factors for the three month period were 62.2% for domestic,
and 71.8% for international services. Passengers were carried over
9.3 billion domestic and 4.4 billion international Revenue Passenger
Kilometers (RPKs). |
| |
| Cargo services showed a robust performance with total revenue
up 9% to ¥19.5 billion, breaking down into ¥7 billion domestic
and ¥12.5 billion international. ANA Group airlines carried
100,816 tonnes of cargo on domestic routes, an increase of 2%,
while international cargo demand remained almost flat with a marginal
increase of 0.8 percentage points to 57,588 tonnes.
|
| |
| The result was an increase in operating profit of 27% to ¥10.1
billion on revenue of ¥258 billion, which was in turn was up
by ¥13.3 billion or 5% year-on-year. |
| |
| For the period under review, oil prices remained approximately
50% higher than the same period of the previous year. Thanks to
a combination of oil price hedging and the assignment of more efficient
and smaller aircraft where appropriate, increases in fuel costs
were contained at only 20%. |
| |
| ANA will not make any change to its present forecast for the
whole year. |
