ANA Q1 net income drops 29% on growth-planning costs

ANA saw its Q1 net profit decline 29% to JPY11.4b (US$104.9m), compared to JPY16.1b in the year-ago period, partly as a result of higher costs as the airline prepares for a growth phase in 2020. ANA Holdings said net profit for the quarter ending June 30 was “generally in line” with its outlook released in April. As a result, the company has not changed its forecast of a JPY108b net profit for the full fiscal year. Consolidated quarterly revenue rose 3.2% year-over-year to JPY500.5b. However, costs were up 4.2% to JPY484.3b, resulting in operating profit falling 19.4% to JPY16.1b. In the air transportation segment, revenue increased 3.1% to JPY439.7b, the result of higher demand during this year’s extended Golden Week holiday period, and generally strong performance of domestic and international passenger services. <br/>
