(1) Analysis of Operating Results

(i) Summary of the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026

Overview

In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, although the Japanese economy recovered at a moderate pace, it remained exposed to downside risks, including rising prices, U.S. trade policies, and the impact of the situation in the Middle East, resulting in an uncertain outlook.

In July 2025, the JR East Group (the Group) formulated "To the Next Stage" 2034, its new Group management vision, in order to further accelerate its sustainable growth by going beyond the past "norm." Under "To the Next Stage" 2034, while continuing to position "safety" as a top management priority, we worked on "Improving and Strengthening Group Governance," "Trust - Foundation and Brand Identity of All Our Businesses," a dual-axis management approach centered on "Mobility (Transportation)" and "Lifestyle Solutions (Retail & Services, Real Estate & Hotels, and Others)," "Sustainability," and "Growth-Driven Strategy."

Aiming to achieve "Ultimate Safety," under the "Group Safety Plan 2028," the Group has adopted the theme of "Taking the nature of railway work to heart, imagine the unexpected, reach for safety!," it has taken proactive safety measures by strengthening its foundations for safety across the entire Group, in order to realize "Zero customer fatalities or injuries, zero employee fatalities." In order to improve the levels of the safety and stability of our transportation services, we worked on strengthening systems, ground equipment, etc., identifying signs of failure using monitoring technology, and introducing automatic crack identification technology and technology to compare cracks from two different periods for Shinkansen tunnel inspections. We also took countermeasures for major earthquakes and other measures to prevent transportation disruptions, such as seismic reinforcement of elevated railway tracks and utility poles, derailment prevention measures on Shinkansen trains, and the introduction to the early earthquake detection system for conventional lines, of ocean bottom seismometer information obtained from the Seafloor Observation Network for Earthquakes and Tsunamis along the Japan Trench, which had already been introduced to the early earthquake detection system for Shinkansen. In addition, in order to further improve safety levels at stations, we introduced an escalator congestion emergency stop system and a system to detect when customers are in close proximity to train cars, while also installing platform doors using the fare system established by the national government to make train stations barrier-free.

During the fiscal year under review, a transportation disruption caused by overhead line failure inside Shimbashi Station on the Yamanote Line occurred in May 2025, a failure in the Yamagata Shinkansen E8 series trains occurred in June, and transportation disruptions caused by power failure accidents on the Yamanote, Keihin-Tohoku, and Joban Lines occurred in January 2026 and on the Utsunomiya Line in February. In addition, an escalator fire occurred at Hatchobori Station on the Keiyo Line, and a train door opened while the train was running on the Chuo Main Line in March. This series of transportation troubles has caused significant concern, trouble, and inconvenience to our customers. We will once again conduct a fundamental review of all our operations and work to further strengthen and improve the safety and stability of our transportation services. In particular, as railway systems involve a wide range of interrelated facilities and operations, including rolling stock, tracks, and electrical systems, we will enhance our comprehensive knowledge, skills, and technical expertise across different operational areas in order to prevent transportation disruptions and improve our response capabilities. We will also work to introduce advanced technologies, including AI and drones. More specifically, recognizing that humans are the last line of defense for safety, we will work on (1) reviewing our business processes (work procedure) concerning the safety and stability of our transportation services, (2) improving our capabilities to respond to any emergencies, (3) improving the levels of our inspections and checks, (4) improving and strengthening the technical skills of our front-line employees who are engaged in facility maintenance and accident recovery, (5) increasing repair expenses related to facility maintenance and management, and (6) maintaining systems and technological strengths of our Group companies and partner companies.

With respect to "Improving and Strengthening Group Governance," a series of misconduct cases occurred within the Group from 2024 to 2025, including fraudulent personnel cost claims related to commissioned projects and government subsidy programs for central government ministries and agencies, inappropriate press-fit force values in wheelset assembly operations, and warnings from the Japan Fair Trade Commission about our conduct that may violate the Antimonopoly Act, all of which have undermined the trust of our stakeholders. In order to restore confidence in our management, we established an "Expert Committee for Improving and Strengthening Group Governance," which comprises external experts, on July 1, 2025. Based on a report compiled by the Committee and discussions at meetings of the Board of Directors, the Group announced specific improvement measures on March 18, 2026. While updating the Group's basic approach to its internal control system, we will work towards establishing Group governance by implementing improvement measures based on a "sound corporate culture," "necessary structures and rules," and "active communication," thereby building a foundation for promoting "To the Next Stage" 2034 and pursuing new business areas.

With respect to "Trust - Foundation and Brand Identity of All Our Businesses," we view past events that could threaten the very foundation of the Group's business, such as a series of transportation disruptions and multiple misconduct cases, as a harsh lesson, and we remain committed to ensuring compliance and to continuously improving and strengthening governance across the entire Group. We will not only carry forward the experience and expertise cultivated by our predecessors but also strive to become a true technical service industry company, one that transforms society through cutting-edge technology capabilities. In doing so, we will meet the expectations of our stakeholders and further strengthen "trust," which is positioned as the foundation of all our businesses in "To the Next Stage" 2034.

In "Mobility (Transportation)," we worked to promote customer mobility in the JR East area and enhance profitability by promoting the charm of the Hokuriku region through the "Japanese Beauty Hokuriku" campaign, implementing the "Tsubasa Tsunagu" project to highlight the Yamagata Shinkansen, which is being replaced with new Series E8 rolling stock, newly offering the "JR EAST PASS" to foreign visitors to Japan, and expanding the service area of the "JR
