1. Operating Results and Financial Position
(Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons are between the fiscal year under review and the previous fiscal year.)
(1) Analysis of Operating Results
(i) Summary of the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2020
Overview
In the year ended March 31, 2020, the Japanese economy continued on an overall trend of gradual recovery from the start of the year. During the year, the JR East Group fully embraced various challenges under its management vision "Move Up" 2027.
Meanwhile, due to the impact of Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis), which landed on October 12, 2019, the JR East Group suffered significant damage. However, the Group made concerted efforts to ensure operations on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and restore transportation on each damaged line segment.
Moreover, as COVID-19 has spread since February 2020, the number of customers using our railways has significantly declined. At the same time, with respect to the life-style service business, there have been across-the-board declines in the use of stores and restaurants within railway stations and station buildings as well as the use of hotels. In light of this situation, the Group has made every effort to place our utmost priority on preventing the spread of COVID-19 to our customers and employees and ensuring the safety and reliability of transportation and the quality of our services.
As a result, during the fiscal year under review, operating revenues declined 1.8%, to ¥2,946.6 billion, due in part to a decline in transportation revenues stemming from the impact of the spread of COVID-19 and Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis). Additionally, as operating expenses increased following the rise in the Company's non-personnel and other expenses, operating income decreased 21.5%, to ¥380.8 billion, and ordinary income decreased 23.4%, to ¥339.5 billion. Furthermore, the recording of extraordinary losses pertaining to Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis) and other factors caused profit attributable to owners of parent to decrease 32.8%, to ¥198.4 billion.

Segment Information
Transportation
In the Transportation segment, JR East made efforts that gave priority to increasing the safety and reliability of transportation. At the same time, JR East advanced measures centered on railways to promote the use of its transportation networks and thereby achieve reliable revenues. Specifically, we conducted the Shizuoka Destination Campaign, the Niigata Prefecture and Shonai Area Destination Campaignand various other campaigns with the aim of expanding opportunities for interaction. We also began operations of J-Village Station, a new railway station along the Joban Line, in April 2019. Further, we worked to capture the high demand during the 10-day Golden Week period, the Obon holiday, and the year-end and New Year holidays in such ways as temporarily increasing the number of trains and designing products to spur demand. In addition, when we revised train fares in response to the consumption tax hike in October 2019, we revamped our systems and provided easy-to-understand guidance to our customers, among other measures. Furthermore, in regard to the Hokuriku Shinkansen, which was significantly damaged by Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis), we strived to ensure our transportation capacity through such means as the flexible operation of Shinkansen railcars, and, in March 2020, our regular train service was restored to the same operating capacity as that prior to the typhoon. Additionally, we conducted the Tabi o Chikara ni Campaignand took other initiatives, which aimed to restore tourism demand that had declined due to the damages caused by the large-scale typhoon.
Nonetheless, in the Transportation segment, operating revenues decreased 2.0%, to ¥2,081.1 billion, and operating income decreased 26.7%, to ¥250.5 billion, as a result of fewer passengers compared with the previous year in railway operations stemming from the impact of COVID-19 and Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis) as well as a rise in non-personnel and other expenses.
Retail & Services
In the Retail & Services segment, JR East made efforts toward lifestyle development (town development) and enhanced the value of existing businesses. Specifically, we opened new stores and renewed existing stores in GranSta(Tokyo) in April and July 2019. In June 2019, we also conducted verification tests on delivering fresh seafood from the Tohoku and Niigata regions on the Shinkansen and selling at seafood shops inside ecute Shinagawa(Tokyo). Further, we partnered with JAPAN POST Co., Ltd. and other companies to launch JJ+T, which provides one-stop solutions for lifestyle development, inside ecute Tachikawa(Tokyo) in May 2019. Additionally, at Musashi-Sakai Station, we opened a NewDaysconvenience store in July 2019 for the first time that only utilizes self-checkouts. Moreover, we opened ecute EDITION Shibuya(Tokyo), a new form of the in-station commercial facility ecute, and Gourmand Market KINOKUNIYA SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE Store(Tokyo), a new form of KINOKUNIYAstores, inside Phase 1 (East Bldg.) of SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE, which opened in November 2019. We also renovated ecute Omiya(Saitama) during November and December 2019. In addition, in March 2020 we opened the nation's first JAPAN RAIL CAFÉinside Tokyo Station, to communicate the appeal of Japan's various regions.
However, due in part to the impact of self-isolation and shorter operating hours stemming from COVID-19, operating revenues in the Retail & Services segment decreased 3.4%, to ¥573.6 billion, and operating income decreased 12.3%, to ¥34.3 billion.
Real Estate & Hotels
In the Real Estate & Hotels segment, JR East proceeded with development projects that reflected an awareness of lifestyle development (town development) in line-side areas and surrounding areas, including large-scale terminal stations in the Tokyo metropolitan area, to increase the overall appeal and value of local towns together with local communities. Specifically, we moved ahead with construction for the remodeling of the Tsuchiura Station Building toward the renewed opening of the restaurant area, retail stores, hotels and other establishments at PLAYatre TSUCHIURA(Ibaraki), one of the Japan's largest resorts for cyclists. We also underwent renewal and began operations of the Ekichika Kitchen area inside S-PALSendai's main building (Miyagi) in April 2019. Additionally, we opened Lieto-gardenMITAKA(Tokyo) in July 2019 as a residential project that renovates and utilizes former company buildings and dormitories, which was followed by the start of tenancy at R-LietoMusashi-Sakai(Tokyo) in March 2020. Moreover, we opened Phase 1 (East Bldg.) of
9
SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE in November 2019. We also openedJR-EAST HOTEL METS AKIHABARA (Tokyo) in October 2019,JR-EAST HOTEL METS TOKYO BAY SHINKIBA (Tokyo) in November 2019 andJR-EAST HOTEL METS GOTANDA (Tokyo) in March 2020. In addition, in March 2020 we commenced operations ofwanoi KAKUNODATE (Akita), a hotel transformed out of oldJapanese-stylehouses and historic buildings.
As a result, despite the effects of opening Phase 1 (East Bldg.) of SHIBUYA SCRAMBLE SQUARE, operating revenues in the Real Estate & Hotels segment decreased 0.1%, to ¥369.3 billion, due in part to the impact of self-isolation and shorter operating hours stemming from COVID-19. Similarly, operating income decreased 8.4%, to ¥74.6 billion.
Others
In Suicashopping services (electronic money), JR East continued efforts to expand the number of compatible stores by enabling Suicause in taxis, at restaurants and at post offices. Also, we implemented a campaign that aimed to increase the number of JRE POINTmembers while at the same time actively expanding advertising and engaging in efforts to encourage the use of electronic money. As a result, in December 2019 monthly transactions for Suicaand other public transportation electronic money reached a record high of 252.61 million transactions.
With respect to participation in overseas railway projects, through the subsidiary Japan International Consultants for Transportation Co., Ltd., JR East provided consultation services for the "Detailed Design Study on the High Speed Railway Construction Project in India" and supervised the construction of a training center for National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) in India.
In addition, revenues from IC cards operations and credit card operations increased. As the result operating revenues from Others increased 6.0%, to ¥274.6 billion and operating income increased 0.3%, to ¥23.8 billion.

(ii) Outlook for the Year Ending March 31, 2021
In terms of the Japanese economy, the JR East Group believes it will face an unprecedented difficult operating environment as transportation demand will continue to drastically decline due to the issuance of the nationwide state of emergency declaration following the spread of COVID-19. In addition, over the medium to long term, Japan's population is expected to further decline and age, with the country's population concentrating in the Tokyo metropolitan area. At the same time, significant changes to the business environment are expected, including automated driving and other technological innovations as well as changes in globalization.
Further, as more than 30 years have passed since its establishment, the JR East Group faces various changes, including changes to railway systems and the rapid transition to the next generation of employees.
Given this challenging environment, the Group will continue to provide appropriate transportation and other services while placing the utmost priority on preventing the spread of COVID-19 to its customers and employees. While doing so, the Group will organize campaigns and other promotions aimed at revitalizing the East Japan region in the aftermath of COVID-19. In addition, the Group will further enhance the speed and sophistication of the various initiatives adopted under the Group's management vision, "Move Up" 2027, by anticipating the rapid change that is likely to occur in the business environment. In doing so, we will aim for sustainable growth.
As a result, we are unable to determine our consolidated performance forecasts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 because the revenue and other trends are extremely uncertain due to the impact of COVID-19 and reasonable projections are difficult at this time. We will announce our forecasts promptly as soon as they can be determined.
(2) Analysis of Financial Position
In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, operating activities provided net cash of ¥548.6 billion, ¥115.1 billion less than in the previous fiscal year. This result was mainly due to decline in income before taxes.
Investing activities used net cash of ¥701.6 billion, ¥107.1 billion more than in the previous fiscal year. This result was mainly due to an increase in payments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Financing activities provided net cash of ¥43.4 billion, ¥164.1 billion swing from net cash used in the previous fiscal year of ¥120.6 billion. This result was due in part to the increase in commercial paper.
Consequently, cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020, were ¥153.7 billion, a decrease of ¥109.9 billion from March 31, 2019.
In addition, net interest-bearing debt was ¥3,158.5 billion as of March 31, 2020. Please note that net interest-bearing
10
debt represents the balance of consolidated interest-bearing debt minus the balance of consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the fiscal year-end.

- Indicators are derived from the consolidated financial statements.
- Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying the closing share price at the fiscalyear-end by the total number of shares issued (less treasury shares).
- Basic Dividend Policy and Dividends for Fiscal 2020 and Fiscal 2021
JR East's basic approach to capital policy is to keep shareholders' equity at the level required to maintain and grow operational foundations in a sustainable way while paying stable cash dividends and implementing share repurchases flexibly in light of performance to steadily increase returns to shareholders.
With respect to shareholder returns, JR East will implement share repurchases in a flexible manner, in addition to achieving stable increases in dividends, with the aim of realizing a total return ratio of 40% and dividend payout ratio of 30% over the medium to long term in accordance with its management vision "Move Up" 2027. As a basic policy, the repurchased shares will be canceled.
(Reference) Calculation of total return ratio | ||
(total amount of dividend paid in such FY) | ||
Total return ratio in a FY (%)= | + (total repurchase price of repurchased shares in the next FY) | ×100 |

Based on this policy, JR East plans to pay (payment scheduled to begin on June 24, 2020) year-end cash dividends of ¥82.50 per share, which are in addition to the interim cash dividends of ¥82.50 per share, for full-year cash dividends of ¥165 per share.
At the moment, the Group has not decided on its dividend payments for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, as the impact of the spread of COVID-19 on the Group's business performance has yet to be determined. We will announce our forecasts promptly as soon as they can be determined.

3. Management Policies
(1) Basic Management Policies
We will earn the trust of our customers as a whole group by aiming for ultimate safety levels as our top priority.
We will strengthen our network capabilities focusing on technologies and information, and we are committed to helping our customers and people in communities to realize affluent lives.
(2) Medium- to Long-Term Management Strategies and Issues to Be Addressed
In Japan, we anticipate significant changes to the business environment characterized by the continuance of population decline and aging and of the nation's population concentrating in the Tokyo metropolitan area over the medium to long term, as well as technological innovations such as automated driving and changes in globalization.
Further, as more than 30 years have passed since its establishment, the JR East Group faces various changes, including the advancement of the next generation of employees and improvements to the railway network.
In addition, the JR East Group believes it will confront an unprecedented difficult operating environment as transportation demand will continue to decline due to the spread of COVID-19.
- Medium- toLong-Term Management Strategies
In line with "Move Up" 2027 formulated in July 2018, the Group will shift its "stories to create values" from "the provision of services with railway infrastructure as the basis" to "the introduction of new values to society, focusing on the affluence of everyone in their daily lives." Along with improving, evolving and developing the quality of its railway and other transportation services, the Group will concentrate its management resources on life-style services and IT & Suicaservices, which will become its growth drivers going forward. Through these efforts, the Group will aim to increase its consolidated operating revenues while raising the amount of total revenues accounted for by life-style services and IT & Suicaservices to 40% by March 31, 2028. The Group will continue "pursuing ultimate safety levels," "improving service quality" and "implementing ESG management," and these efforts will lead to greater trust from customers and everyone in society. Moreover, the Group will drive forward in creating the values of "trust" and "affluence" by creating a fusion of transportation services, life-style services and IT & Suicaservices.
Further, to "move up" as a corporate group in the next 10 years, the Group will actively focus its operating cash flow on capital expenditures and efficiently utilize its assets with the aim of maximizing profits.
While anticipating even greater challenges to its operating environment due to the spread of COVID-19, guided by management vision "Move Up" 2027, the Group will meet customer needs to an even greater extent. At the same time, we will strive to further pursue challenges and strengthen our management practice by anticipating the rapid change in the business environment. In these ways, we will achieve sustainable growth as a corporate group that contributes to the development of regional society.
- Management benchmarks
With respect to the numerical targets of "Move Up" 2027, the JR East Group has set targets for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, the midway point in the period covered by "Move Up" 2027. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, the second year under "Move Up" 2027, while we were unable to reach our targets due to the impact of COVID-19 and Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis), our projects, progressed largely according to plan.

- Issues to Address
With the aim of realizing its management vision "Move Up" 2027, the Group will place emphasis on the following issues in line with its three perspectives of "deepening trust," "realizing affluent lives," and "realizing happiness of employees and their families."
◇Deepening trust
○Pursuing ultimate safety levels
Guided by "Group Safety Plan 2023," the Group will work toward the enhancement and innovation of "safety conduct" and "safety management" by each employee as well as the installation of safety equipment that leverages new technologies. Given the increasing severity of natural disasters in recent years, we will also devote our attention to reducing disaster-related risks. Through these efforts, the Group will minimize the risk of major accidents, and achieve zero accidents involving passenger injuries or fatalities and zero accidents involving employee fatalities.
○Improving service quality
In line with "Medium-term Vision for Service Quality Reforms 2020", the Group will concentrate the Groupwide capabilities of its employees on preventing transportation service disruptions and providing a comfortable environment for its passengers to use our service. Through this initiative and its dedication to the five pillars, the Group will continue its aim of becoming No.1 for customer satisfaction in the Japanese railway industry.
○Implementing ESG management
Viewing the environment, society, and governance as matters of significant importance to management, the Group will implement ESG management to contribute to the development of local communities by helping to resolve social issues through its business activities and realize the SDGs. In so doing, the Group will gain greater trust from its customers and all members of local communities and translate this into the realization of sustainable growth.
◇Realizing affluent lives
○Reforming transportation service quality
The Group will propose reasons for travel and promote strategies to attract inbound tourists to further expand opportunities for interaction. In addition, the Group will improve the quality of its transportation services by developing driverless operations and the next-generation Shinkansen, and moving ahead with preparations for the Haneda Airport Access Line (provisional name).
○Offering new lifestyles and creating cities
The Group will engage in the creation of new cities such as Global Gateway Shinagawaand promote the development of terminal stations and enhancement of hotels with the aim of boosting profitability. Moreover, the Group will broaden the scope of its business with unprecedented ideas by continuing to evolve its shared office business and collaborating with start-ups.
○Making Suicaa shared infrastructure and promoting MaaS
The Group will expand the range of Suica's services within the transportation sector and enhance its convenience as a function of electronic payments, as well as extending its affiliation with external organizations to enable the use of Suicain various day-to-day activities.
In addition, the Group will steer the proliferation of MaaS in Japan through the establishment of a MaaS platform and the provision of various urban-type and tourism-oriented services.
The Group will also set its sights on increasing the membership and expanding the service lineup of JRE POINT, as well as engaging in marketing initiatives that leverage this data and rolling out customer-based strategies across the entire Group.
○Initiatives for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games
While the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games have been postponed, as an Official Passenger and Rail Transportation Services Partner, the Group will do its part to ensure the success of the event by continuing to make preparations toward the provision of high-quality services in all business sectors.
The experience and the growth of each and every Group employee attained as a result will be passed down as the Group's "legacy" upon the completion of the event.
○Establishing business models for overseas businesses
The Group will combine its expertise and know-how and move ahead with business development with a view to establishing business models for overseas businesses, particularly in Asia. The Group will also strengthen the development of its human resources overseas by providing greater opportunities to excel as well as various training programs.
◇Realizing happiness of employees and their families ○Promotion of the three reforms
In addition to steadily implementing its growth strategies, the Group will proceed with its three reforms―promote operational reforms, work style reforms, and workplace reforms―and expand the scope of opportunities for its employees.
With the aim of enabling each and every employee to create and realize their own "Move Up Story,"the Group will accelerate their participation and growth cycle toward simultaneously achieving the growth of the Group and that of its employees.
○Strengthening of management structure
With a view to realizing greater profitability as well as promote operational reforms, work style reforms, and workplace reforms, the Group will carry out investments in a strategic and meaningful manner and strive to further enhance
16
productivity, promote digital transformation, and reinforce its alliance with external parties through open innovation.
- Our Approach towardCOVID-19
Since the spread of COVID-19 became serious, we have seen significantly fewer passengers on trains, customers at stores and restaurants inside railway stations and station buildings, and guests at hotels. (In terms of the Group's consolidated performance during the period under review, approximately ¥94.0 billion in operating revenue declines were attributable to the spread of COVID-19.)
We anticipate that this decline in the number of passengers and challenging business environment will continue for some time. The Group will devote its full attention to cooperating with government efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure that it is not transmitted to our passengers and employees, while continuing to provide our customers with the necessary transportation and other services. Also, JR East's directly managed hospitals (Tokyo and Sendai) are offering medical examinations and hospitalizing patients who are suspected of COVID-19 infection, and we are preparing to provide our Group hotels for patients with mild symptoms in response to requests from the government. Moreover, in light of the local governments' request to people to stay home, we have either closed or shortened the operating hours of our station buildings. Meanwhile, with the drastic decline in our revenues caused by COVID-19, we will implement various cost-reduction measures and procure the necessary funds as appropriate. We are also organizing campaigns toward revitalizing the East Japan region and recovering transportation demand in order to regain our profitability in the aftermath of COVID-19.
4. Basic Policy for Selection of Accounting Standards
As of now, the JR East Group's plan is to continue using Japanese GAAP. However, in light of developments in the Group's overseas businesses and general trends in Japan and overseas in the selection of accounting standards, it will consider the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

(i) Segment Information
i) General information about reportable segments
Transportation, Retail & Services, and Real Estate & Hotels comprise JR East's three reportable segments. Each reportable segment is in turn comprised of business units within the Group with respect to which separate financial information is obtainable. These reportable segments are reviewed periodically by JR East's Board of Directors and form the basis on which to evaluate business performance and decide on how to allocate management resources of the Company.
The Transportation segment includes passenger transportation operations centered on railway operations, as well as travel agency services, cleaning services, station operations, facilities maintenance operations, railcar manufacturing operations, and railcar maintenance operations. The Retail & Services segment consists of the part of JR East's life-style service business that includes retail sales and restaurant operations, a wholesale business, a truck transportation business, and advertising and publicity. The Real Estate & Hotels segment consists of the part of JR East's life-style service business that includes shopping center operations, leasing of office buildings and other properties, and hotel operations.
-
Basis of measurement about reportable segment operating revenues, segment income or loss, segment assets, and other material items
The accounting treatment for each reportable segment is largely the same as that set forth in the "Important Items that Form the Basis for Preparing Consolidated Financial Statements" in the recent Annual Securities Report released on June 21, 2019. Moreover, intersegment transactions are between consolidated subsidiaries and based on market prices and other fair values. - Information about reportable segment operating revenues, segment income or loss, segment assets, and other material items

(Additional Information (Unaudited))
(i) Damage from Typhoon No. 15 and Typhoon No. 19 in 2019
The JR East Group suffered significant damage from Typhoon No. 15 (Faxai) and Typhoon No. 19 (Hagibis), which landed on September 9, 2019, and October 12, 2019, respectively, centered on Shinkansen railcars on the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line and railway facilities on some conventional lines.
On the consolidated statements of income, the Group recorded a decrease of operating revenues due to the suspension of operations on the Hokuriku Shinkansen and other lines and the decrease in the number of trains in operation, as well as such factors as suspended operations at certain stores inside railway stations and station buildings managed by the Group. In addition, the Group recorded two extraordinary losses: "Disaster-damage losses," which comprise repair and other expenses, and "Provision for allowance for disaster-damage losses," which consists of estimates for repair and other expenses.
"Disaster-damage losses" and "Provision for allowance for disaster-damage losses" include not only expenses needed to repair railway facilities, excluding the Nagano Shinkansen Rolling Stock Center, but also expenses required to decommission eight train units of E7 Series Shinkansen railcars that were damaged due to flooding. Some of these expenses are expected to be covered by insurance.
Additionally, in regard to the Nagano Shinkansen Rolling Stock Center, which suffered significant damage to its facilities due to such factors as having its grounds being submerged underwater, the Group is currently deliberating the restoration policy together with the Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency, an incorporated administrative agency and owner of the facility. Accordingly, estimates for restoration expenses of the Nagano Shinkansen Rolling Stock Center are not included in the "Provision for allowance for disaster-damage losses."
(ii) Impact of the spread of COVID-19
In light of the spread of COVID-19, operating revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 declined due in part to decreased railway transportation volume resulting from people staying home, and reduced sales at stores in railway stations and station buildings.
Additionally, due to the state of emergency declaration by the Japanese government on April 7, 2020, based on the Act on Special Measures for Pandemic Influenza and New Infectious Diseases Preparedness and Response, railway transportation volume is further decreasing, and the Group has been expanding the closure or reducing the operating hours of stores in railway stations and station buildings. These factors all have the potential to significantly impact our operating revenue starting with the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.
