Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
ANA HOLDINGS INC. and its consolidated subsidiaries
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of ANA HOLDINGS INC. (hereinafter referred to as “the company”) and its
consolidated subsidiaries are prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Japan, which are different in certain
respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and are compiled
from the consolidated financial statements prepared by the company as required by the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act of
Japan. In preparing the accompanying financial statements, certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements issued
domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan. In addition, the notes to consolidated
financial statements include information which is not required under accounting principles and practices generally accepted in Japan
but are presented herein as additional information.
(a) Principles of consolidation and accounting for investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries and affiliates
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and all of its significant subsidiaries (62 subsidiaries for
2016 and 64 subsidiaries for 2015). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in certain subsidiaries and significant affiliates (18 companies for 2016 and for 2015) are accounted for by the equity
method. The difference between the cost and the underlying net equity in the net assets at dates of acquisition of consolidated
subsidiaries and companies accounted for by the equity method is amortized using the straight-line method over a period of 5 to
15 years.
Investments in subsidiaries and affiliates which are not consolidated or accounted for by the equity method (82 companies for 2016
and 79 companies for 2015) are stated at cost. The equity in undistributed earnings of these companies was not significant.
Certain subsidiaries have fiscal years ending on December 31 and February 29, and necessary adjustments for significant transactions,
if any, are made on consolidation.
The balance sheet accounts of foreign consolidated subsidiaries are translated into yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance
sheet date, except for the components of net assets excluding non-controlling interests which are translated at their historical exchange
rates. Revenue and expense accounts are translated at the average rate of exchange in effect during the year. Differences arising from
the translation are presented as translation adjustments and non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements.
(e) Inventories
Inventories include aircraft spare parts, supplies and stock in trade of consolidated subsidiaries.
These are stated at cost principally based on the moving average method. Net book value of inventories in the consolidated balance
sheet is written down when its net realizable value declines.
112 A N A HOLD I N G S IN C .
(f) Property and equipment and depreciation (excluding leased assets)
Property and equipment excluding leased assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Ground property and equipment
includes ¥49,612 million ($440,291 thousand) and ¥51,813 million of land at March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Depreciation of
property and equipment is computed based on estimated useful lives by the following methods:
The company and certain subsidiaries employ principally the following useful lives, based upon the company’s estimated durability:
Major additions and improvements are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs, including minor renewals and improvements, are
charged to income as incurred.
The company records impairment charges on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets may be impaired. The assets of the company and its domestic consolidated subsidiaries are grouped by individual property in
the case of rental real estate, assets expected to be sold and idle assets, and by management accounting categories in the case of
business assets. An impairment loss is required to be recognized when the carrying amount of the assets significantly exceeds their
recoverable amount. See Note 19.
The company and certain significant domestic subsidiaries have trustee employee pension funds to provide coverage for part of the
lump-sum benefits or annuity payments.
The company and certain consolidated subsidiaries adopt defined contribution pension plans as well as defined benefit pension plans.
For defined benefit pension plans, accrued retirement benefits for employees at the balance sheet date are provided mainly at an
amount calculated based on the retirement benefit obligation and the fair market value of the pension plan assets as of the balance
sheet date, as adjusted for unrecognized net retirement benefit obligation at transition, unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and
unrecognized prior service cost. The retirement benefit obligation is attributed to each period by the benefit formula method over the
estimated service years of eligible employees. The net retirement benefit obligation at transition is being amortized by the straight-line
Financial / Data Section
method. Actuarial gains and losses are amortized in the year following the year in which the gain or loss is recognized primarily by the
straight-line method over periods which are shorter than the average remaining service years of employees. Prior service cost is
amortized as incurred by the straight-line method over periods which are shorter than the average remaining service years of
employees. See Note 7.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(n) Derivatives
The company and its subsidiaries use derivatives, such as forward foreign exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, commodity
options and swaps, to limit their exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The company
and its subsidiaries do not use derivatives for trading purposes.
Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in unrealized gain or loss charged or credited to operations,
except for those which meet the criteria for deferral hedge accounting under which an unrealized gain or loss is deferred as an asset or
a liability. Receivables and payables hedged by qualified forward exchange contracts are translated at the corresponding foreign
exchange contract rates. Interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge accounting are not measured at fair value, but the differential paid
or received under the swap agreements is recognized and included in interest expenses or income.
(r) Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2015 financial information in the accompanying financial statements to conform with
the 2016 presentation.
(t) Transactions of delivering the company’s own stock to employees, etc., through trusts
The company has been conducting transactions of delivering its own stock to the Employee Stock Ownership Group through trusts for
the welfare of its employees.
114 A N A HOLD I N G S IN C .
The Plan is an incentive plan for all employees who participate in the Stock Ownership Association. Under the Plan, the “ANA Group
Employee Stock Ownership Trust” (the “ESOT”), which was established to transfer the company’s shares to the Stock Ownership
Association, will acquire the company’s shares all at once in advance to the extent that the Stock Ownership Association will acquire
them over a certain period of time. If a gain on sale of shares is then accumulated within the ESOT through the sale of the company’s
shares to the Stock Ownership Association by the termination of the trust, it will be distributed to the group employees who meet the
beneficiary requirements (all individuals who have participated in the Stock Ownership Association during the trust period, including
retirees) as residual assets.
The company guarantees the borrowings for the ESOT’s acquisition of the company’s shares, and repays any borrowings outstanding
at the termination of the trust pursuant to the guarantee agreement.
(2) Accounting Method for Transactions of Delivering the Company’s Own Stock through Trusts
Although the company applies the “Practical Solution on Transactions of Delivering the company’s Own Stock to Employees, etc.,
through Trusts” (Practical Issues Task Force (PITF) No. 30 of March 26, 2015), the company continues to apply the accounting method
that was applied previously.
The number of shares held by the trust as of March 31, 2016 was 11,531 thousand shares, the average number of shares during the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 was 13,352 thousand shares, the number of shares as of March 31, 2015 was 15,859 thousand
shares, and the average number of shares during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, was 17,914 thousand shares. For the purpose
of calculating per share information, the number of shares at the end of the fiscal year and the average number of shares during the
fiscal year are included in the treasury stock that are deducted.
The Trust for Delivery of Shares to Directors acquires the company’s own stock using money contributed by the company as the
source of the Board of Directors’ remuneration, etc., and the company’s own stock will be delivered to the Board of Directors accord-
ing to the degree of achievement of the earnings target, among other things.
As for the accounting for the trust, the “gross method” is applied pursuant to the PITF No. 30 of March 26, 2015.
The company’s own stock held by the trust as of March 31, 2016 was recorded as treasury stock in “Net assets” of the consolidated
balance sheet, and the book value was ¥429 million ($3,807 thousand), and the number of shares was 1,357 thousand shares.
(1) Overview
Regarding the treatment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets, a review was conducted following the framework of the Japanese
Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit Committee Report No. 66 “Audit Treatment on Determining the Recoverability of
Deferred Tax Assets,” whereby companies are categorized into five categories and deferred tax assets are calculated based on each of
these categories.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Business Combinations Standard and others were applied in accordance with the transitional treatments stipulated in Paragraph
No. 58-2(4) of the Business Combinations Standard, Paragraph No. 44-5(4) of the Consolidated Financial Statement Standard, and
Paragraph 57-4(4) of the Business Divestiture Standard, and the accounting standards, etc., have been applied from April 1, 2015.
These accounting changes did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016.
Application of Practical Solution on Transactions of Delivering the Company’s Own Stock to Employees etc. through Trusts
The company applies “Practical Solution on Transactions of Delivering the company’s Own Stock to Employees etc. through Trusts”
(PITF No.30 of March 26, 2015) as of April 1, 2014. For accounting treatment of trust contracts concluded before April 1, 2014, the
company does not apply the revised Practical Solution but continues to apply the accounting treatment that was applied previously
As a result, the amount of ¥6,297 million recorded as “Other” under Non-operating income was reclassified as “Gain on donation of
non-current assets” in the amount of ¥936 million and the “Other” in the amount of ¥5,361 million in the consolidated statement of
income for the year ended March 31, 2015.
The consolidated financial statements presented herein are expressed in yen and, solely for the convenience of the reader, have been
translated into United States dollars at the rate of ¥112.68 = US$1, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on the Tokyo Foreign
Exchange Market on March 31, 2016. This translation should not be construed as a representation that the amounts shown could be
converted into United States dollars at such a rate. Translations of United States dollars are rounded down to the nearest thousand
and therefore the totals shown in tables do not necessarily agree with the sums of the individual amounts.

The “Act for Partial Amendment of the Income Tax Act, etc.” (Act No. 15 of 2016) and the “Act for Partial Amendment of the Local Tax
Act, etc.” (Act No. 13 of 2016) were enacted in the Japanese Diet session on March 29, 2016. As a result, the effective statutory tax
rate used to measure the company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities was lowered from 32.34% to 30.86% and 30.62% for the
temporary differences expected to be realized or settled in the years beginning April 1, 2016 and 2017, and for the temporary differ-
ences expected to be realized or settled from April 1, 2018, respectively.
The effect of the announced reduction of the effective statutory tax rate was to decrease deferred tax assets, after offsetting deferred
tax liabilities, by ¥4,362 million ($38,711 thousand) and increase deferred income tax expense by ¥3,216 million ($28,541 thousand),
net unrealized holding gain on securities by ¥480 million ($4,259 thousand), deferred gain on hedging instruments by ¥(959) million

neither the capital reserve nor the legal retained earnings is available for the payment of dividends, but both may be used to reduce or
eliminate a deficit by resolution of the shareholders or may be transferred to common stock by resolution of the Board of Directors. The
Law also provides that, if the total amount of the capital reserve and the legal retained earnings exceeds 25% of the capital stock, the
excess may be distributed to the shareholders either as a return of capital or as dividends subject to the approval of the shareholders.
Under the Law, however, such distributions can be made at anytime by resolution of the shareholders or by the Board of Directors if
certain conditions are met.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Overview
(a) Policy for financial instruments
The company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “group”) limit their fund management to short-term time deposits and raise funds
through borrowings from financial institutions including banks. The company and its subsidiaries use derivatives for the purpose of
reducing risk described below and do not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
Marketable securities and investments in securities are exposed to risk of market price fluctuations. Those securities are composed of
mainly the shares of other companies with which the group has business relationships. The group periodically reviews the fair values of
such financial instruments and the financial position of the issuers, thereby making efforts to identify and mitigate risks of impairment.
Substantially all trade payables (accounts and notes payable) have payment due dates within one year.
Borrowings are taken out principally for the purpose of making capital investments, and certain long-term debt with variable interest
rates is exposed to interest rate fluctuation risk. However, to reduce such risk for long-term interest-bearing debt at variable rates, the
group utilizes interest rate swap transactions as a hedging instrument. Interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge accounting are not
measured at fair value, but the differential paid or received under the swap agreements is recognized and included in interest expenses
or income.
For derivatives, in order to reduce the foreign currency exchange risk arising from the receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, the group enters into forward foreign exchange contracts for specific receivables and payables denominated in foreign
currencies, mainly for aircraft purchase commitments. In addition, the group enters into commodity derivative transactions such as
swaps and options to mitigate fluctuation risk of the commodity prices of fuel and stabilize operating profit.
As for derivatives, the group believes that the credit risks are extremely low, as it enters into derivative transactions only with reputable
financial institutions with a sound credit profile.
2) Management of Market Risks (fluctuation risks such as exchange rate and interest rate)
In order to reduce the foreign currency exchange risks, the group, in principle, utilizes forward foreign exchange contracts for receiv-
ables and payables in foreign currencies. In order to mitigate the interest rate fluctuation risks of the debts, the group utilizes interest
rate swap transactions.
As for marketable securities and investment securities, the group periodically reviews the fair values and the financial conditions of the
issuers to identify and mitigate risks of impairment.
There are internal policies for derivative transactions which set forth authorization levels and a maximum upper limit on transaction
volumes and the group enters into the derivative transactions in accordance with such policies. Moreover, the group reports plans and
results of methods and ratios for offsetting risks at quarterly board meeting.
3) Management of Liquidity Risks Related to Financing (risks that the group cannot meet the due date of payables)
The group manages the liquidity risks by setting a financial plan in order to procure and invest funds, which are necessary for the
operation of the group for a certain period of time, in accordance with the business operating plan and the budget.

Notes:
1. Methods to determine the estimated fair value of financial instruments and other matters related to securities and derivative transactions
Assets
1) Cash on hand and in banks and 2) accounts receivable
Since these items are settled in a short period of time, their carrying value approximates fair value.
Liabilities
1) Trade notes and accounts payable and 2) short-term bank loans
Since these items are settled in a short period of time, their carrying value approximates fair value.
4) Long-term loans
The fair value of long-term loans is based on the present value of the total of principal and interest discounted by the interest rate to
be applied if similar new borrowings were entered into.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The group operates internationally and is exposed to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity
prices of fuel. In order to manage these risks, the group and its subsidiaries utilize forward exchange contracts to hedge certain foreign
currency transactions related to purchase commitments, principally of flight equipment, and foreign currency receivables and payables.
Also, the group utilizes interest rate swaps to minimize the impact of interest rate fluctuations related to their outstanding debt. In
addition, the group also enters into a variety of swaps and options in its management of risk exposure related to the commodity prices
of fuel. The group and its subsidiaries do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes.
The group has developed internal hedging guidelines to control various aspects of derivative transactions, including authorization levels
and transaction volumes. The group enters into derivative transactions in accordance with these internal guidelines. Derivative and
hedging transactions initiated by respective operational departments have been examined by the accounting department and these
transactions, including their measures and ratios, have been monitored by management generally on a monthly basis. Assessment of
hedge effectiveness is examined at inception and, on an ongoing basis, periodically. The consolidated subsidiaries have adopted the
same procedures for hedging activities as the group.
The group is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments,
but it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations, because the majority of the counterparties are interna-
tionally recognized financial institutions.
Summarized below are the notional amounts and the estimated fair values of the derivative instruments outstanding as of March 31,

Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains statements based on the ANA Group’s current plans, estimates, strategies, and beliefs; all statements that are not statements of historical fact
are forward-looking statements. These statements represent the judgments and hypotheses of the group’s management based on currently available information. Air
transportation, the group’s core business, involves government-mandated costs that are beyond the company’s control, such as airport utilization fees and fuel taxes.
In addition, conditions in the markets served by the ANA Group are subject to significant fluctuations. Factors that could affect actual results include, but are not limited
to, economic trends, sharp changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in the price of crude oil, and disasters.
Due to these risks and uncertainties, the group’s future performance may differ significantly from the contents of this annual report. Accordingly, there is no assurance that
the forward-looking statements in this annual report will prove to be accurate.
