Executive Summary

STARLUX Airlines reported a robust QQ1 2025, evidencing a pronounced rebound in top-line activity and meaningful profit expansion. Revenue reached 11,194,839,000 TWD with a gross profit of 2,418,459,000 TWD and a gross margin of 21.6%. EBITDA stood at 1,889,593,000 TWD and operating income was 1,186,955,000 TWD, yielding an operating margin of 10.6%. Net income totaled 914,883,000 TWD, translating to a net margin of 8.17% and earnings per share (diluted) of 0.30 TWD. Key profitability metrics imply a material improvement versus prior-year periods, supported by a strong revenue trajectory and steady cost management.

YoY comparisons embedded in the data indicate substantial improvements: revenue up 77.82% YoY and gross profit up 132.34% YoY, with net income showing a substantial YoY uplift per reported metrics (reported YoY net income growth of 1,104.63%). The quarter also shows a broad margin expansion, with operating income growth of 722.01% YoY. QoQ dynamics are available for revenue, gross profit, and EPS, illustrating continued sequential momentum though no QoQ for EBITDA/operating income is explicitly provided in the dataset.

From a risk/quality perspective, STARLUX’s earnings reflect a post-pandemic demand rebound and capacity ramp. However, the company operates in an industry with cyclical demand, high capital intensity, and exposure to interest costs (interest expense of 304,281,000 TWD) and depreciation (702,638,000 TWD). The available data do not disclose cash flow, liquidity, or leverage details, limiting assessment of balance sheet health. Overall, the QQ1 2025 result supports a constructive near-term earnings narrative, with a balanced view required on sustainability, financing, and the trajectory of travel demand as macro conditions evolve.
