Management Message

The Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group conducts its business in six core segments--Urban Transportation, Real Estate, Entertainment, Information and Communication Technology, Travel, and International Transportation--guided by its mission: By delivering "Safety and Comfort" and "Dreams and Excitement," we create satisfaction among our customers and contribute to society.

Since announcing the "Long-Term Management Plan" in March 2025, we have been steadily improving our business results while pursuing a range of initiatives to achieve both sustainable medium- to long-term growth and enhanced capital efficiency, to realize the vision for the future we want.
We have also continued to examine specific measures to achieve our FY2031 targets and have now laid the groundwork for their achievement. However, as the business environment surrounding the Group changes faster and more significantly than expected, we must also accelerate the Group's transformation.

Accordingly, we will continue to strengthen our profitability by expanding our existing businesses and developing new revenue sources, while also considering ways to make more effective use of our assets. In addition, while monitoring cash flow status each year and other factors, we will manage our overall balance sheet through measures such as asset sales, disciplined financing, and flexible returns to shareholders.
We will also work with partner companies to develop businesses that do not depend on assets, such as fee businesses and content businesses, thereby improving the yield of each business and enhancing our cash-generating capabilities. Through these initiatives, we will create a virtuous cycle in which we secure funds while increasing our capacity for growth investments. By expanding the profit spread of growth investments and achieving investment results earlier, we will pursue both stronger profitability and improved capital efficiency, while also increasing fund turnover.

Moving forward, our entire Group will continue working together to meet the expectations of all stakeholders and to remain a trusted and valued corporate group. We sincerely appreciate your continued support and patronage.

President and Representative Director, Group CEO
