Skymark Airlines Inc. ( (JP:9204) ) has shared an announcement.
Skymark Airlines reported a sharp upside in full-year earnings versus its November forecast, as foreign exchange gains of ¥1.34 billion and a ¥712 million gain on the sale of aircraft engine assets lifted ordinary and net income. Operating revenue slightly undershot guidance amid intensified price competition and weaker-than-expected passenger volumes, but tighter cost controls and optimized maintenance kept operating income ahead of target.
The airline also booked a ¥1.95 billion deferred tax loss after reassessing the recoverability of tax assets against a tougher outlook shaped by rising crude prices and fleet plans. On the back of stronger profit, Skymark revised its previously undecided dividend plan and now plans to pay a year-end dividend of ¥7 per share, signaling a renewed willingness to return cash to shareholders despite a still-uncertain operating environment.
