|
| TOKYO October 31, 2005 - ANA Group today reported its consolidated
first half financial results for the six month period ended September
30, 2005. |
| |
| The Group reported revenue of ¥690.9 billion (2004: ¥659.4
billion), operating profit of ¥69.5 billion (2004: 59.7 billion)
and recurring profit of ¥59.4 billion (2004: ¥53.1 billion) – all
record highs at the six month point, in spite of spiralling fuel
costs. |
| |
| Net profit for the period came in at ¥19.7 billion (2004: ¥29.8
billion), actually 34% lower than the previous period in 2004,
due to the adoption of asset impairment accounting methods within
the Japanese accounting system. |
| |
| Airlines within ANA Group posted consolidated revenue of ¥573.3
billion and an operating profit of ¥62.6 billion for the first
six months of fiscal 2005. They carried 25.2 million passengers
over 29.5 billion Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPK), which breaks
down to 23.2 million domestic passengers and 1.9 million international
passengers over 20.3 billion RPKs and 9.2 billion RPKs respectively. |
| |
| Overall, the entire network performed well. Domestically, passenger
numbers grew 3.2%, attributed to improved services and products
at the newly opened Haneda Terminal 2, the Aichi World Expo in
Nagoya, as well as to improvements in inflight products, such as
the Super Seat Premium, and co-operation with ground transportation
providers. Revenue was up ¥16.8 billion or 5%, while capacity
in terms of Available Seat Kilometers (ASKs) remained almost constant
at 99.9% of the previous year. |
| |
| In terms of international services, demand for travel in business
class was high, particularly on North American routes, where increased
capacity in business class and enhanced services made for a strong
performance. Business travel demand on routes to China also remained
high, however anti-Japan demonstrations from the spring continued
to exert a downward influence on leisure travellers. Despite a
1.2% fall in passengers, a ¥4.7 billion or 4.3% increase was
posted on international operations. Capacity (ASKs) again remained
almost constant at 99.9% of the previous year. |
| |
| Air cargo performed well, with domestic and international operations
showing revenue increases of ¥115 million and ¥2.9 billion
respectively, compared with the same period for the previous year |
| |
| Looking to the next six months despite continuing efforts to
curb costs, rising crude oil prices are expected to squeeze profitability
and add ¥28.5 billion to ANA’s fuel bill. Accordingly,
no change has been made to the forecast for fiscal 2005 of: net
profit ¥10 billion on revenue of ¥1.326 trillion, and a
recurring profit: ¥44.5 billion. |
