ANA Holdings: "Passenger unit cost and numbers fell short of initial targets and there were delays in receiving new aircraft that caused delays in establishing new international routes and adding flights. Also AirAsia Japan did not perform as well as expected. Regarding revenue in the Second Half, ANA expects that in domestic routes unit prices will continue to fall. In addition, we are forced to revise the business plan for AirAsia Japan from a basic point of view. As a result of these factors, ANA now believes FY2013 revenue for the full financial year will be about JPY30 billion below the initial projection. On the other hand, the yen continued to weaken in the First Six months, which increased costs for fuel and other dollar-denominated outlays, causing expenditures to exceed initial estimates. ANA has no choice but to assume that yen will continue to weaken further in the Second Half, and must also assume that fuel costs will increase. With these factors ANA believes that, FY2013 costs will be about JPY20 billion higher than initial estimates." Source: Company statement, 30-Oct-2013.
