According to the company, operating profit for the first half of fiscal 2025 rose 45% from the previous year to 34.6 billion yen, while net profit climbed 41% to 22.9 billion yen — both marking record highs.
The Chuo Line’s Yumeshima Station, the only railway line directly connecting to the Expo site, has seen a surge in passengers. During the Expo period, Osaka Metro’s average daily ridership reached 2.52 million, up 15% from the same period a year earlier, boosting transport revenue significantly and generating approximately 9.7 billion yen in profit related to Expo operations.
The company has also revised upward its full-year forecast for both operating and net profit in anticipation of continued strong demand through the Expo period.
