The Spirit of Our Founders A Business with Integrity A Resolute and Independent Business A Self-Reliant Business We must always remember that we are a company offering highly public services. We must contribute to society without bias to profit or authority. The Words of Our Founders “Trust and love are the threads that weave a beautiful world” Let us create a world of beauty by spreading mutual trust and greater harmony, woven by trust and love. “Wakyo” (Close Cooperation) We act with strength, in harmony, but not necessarily in agreement, through patient, careful discussions to reach positive outcomes, striving as one to achieve goals once the decision is made. “Hardship Now, Yet Hope for the Future” No matter the difficulty we face, if we continue to persevere to a brighter tomorrow, the time will come when we thrive and prosper. 1 Strengths Cultivated from the Spirit of Our Founders: Innovation and Comprehensive Capabilities Our business began in 1952 with only two helicopters. Our founders’ desire was for our company to serve as a highly public company that not only pursues profits but also contributes to nations and communities. We continue to make sincere and dedicated efforts, even in the most challeng- ing of environments. The ANA Group DNA is firmly rooted in the spirit of transcending accepted wisdom, customs, and organizations. Rising to challenges and pulling together to overcome issues by taking advantage of diversity are also rooted in our DNA. 1952Two Helicopters and Big Dreams At the end of World War II, the Allied Powers fully banned any private companies in Japan from operating aircraft. That ban was lifted in 1950. Two years later, in 1952, Japan Helicopter and Aerospace Transport Co., Ltd. (ANA’s predecessor) became the first privately run air transport company in Japan with only two helicopters in its “fleet.” Starting from zero was a challenge, as the world at the time was dominated by government-directed airlines manage- ment. Under the spirit of our founders that stressed integrity and independence, the company’s employees embraced a great dream. Ten years later, in 1962, we became the launch customer for the YS-11, the first domestically produced aircraft in the post- war era. This development expanded our business to lead the Japanese airline industry. In 1964, we used this aircraft to fulfill the important mission of transporting the Olympic torch for the Games of the XVIII Olympiad in Tokyo. In this manner, ANA continued to grow alongside postwar Japan. An industry policy in 1972, called the 45-47 System, regulated domestic airline companies. Under this policy, ANA was allowed only to operate domestic flights, restricted from inter- national operations. However, in 1971, we began operating an international charter flight to Hong Kong. In the following year, the efforts of our second president and CEO, Kaheita Okazaki, led to international charter services to Shanghai, in the aftermath of the normalization of national relations with China. The ANA dream of scheduled interna- tional flight operations remained alive. The 1980s saw increas- ing calls for a review of the 45-47 System, as it did not accommodate expanding and diversifying demand for air travel. The system was finally abolished in 1985. In 1986, ANA began operating scheduled international flights between Narita and Guam, fulfilling a ten-year dream. Achieving a 10-Year Dream to Operate International Flights 1986 1978 Opening of Narita International Airport Revenue Passenger-Kilometers (RPK) Peach Aviation ANA International Services ANA Domestic Services Foundation 2011 The First to Implement the State-of-the-Art Boeing 787 Dreamliner Aircraft The Boeing 787 is a next-generation aircraft that introduced many new technologies and materials to achieve longer-dis- tance flights and significantly reduced operating costs. In 2004, the ANA Group was the first in the world to order the Boeing 787. As the launch customer, we supported the devel- opment of this aircraft. Our order of this globally anticipated, state-of-the-art air- craft made headlines, boosting the ANA Group’s global pres- ence. We placed the Boeing 787 into service in 2011, and by January 2016 we became the first company in the world to fly over 100,000 flights with this aircraft. This was equivalent to one-quarter of all Boeing 787 flights worldwide. The exception- ally increased fuel efficiency of this model enables long-distance flights by medium-body aircraft. 2014 Expansion of international slots at Haneda Airport 2013 Shift to a holding company structure 2008 Global financial crisis 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake 1999 ANA Joined the Star Alliance to Expand Our Overseas Network ANA became the ninth member of the Star Alliance, the world’s first and largest global airline alliance, in 1999. Utilizing code share flights, we continued to expand our network and accelerate the growth of our International Business. At the same time, we faced a variety of risks arising from global political and economic circumstances, as well as social phenomena. Due to unforeseen events such as the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States in 2001, the Iraq War in 2003, and the spread of the SARS virus, passenger demand decreased dramatically. However, by implementing emergency cost reductions, we achieved profitability in our International Business for the first time in fiscal 2004 (the fiscal year ended March 2005). Despite facing numerous adversities, we have strengthened our comprehensive capabilities as a group, moving forward in our growth strategies and expanding our network. 2003 Outbreak of SARS 2001 September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States 1994 Opening of Kansai International Airport 1952 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2019 (FY) 2 3 Strengths Accumulated over a 68-Year History: Scale and Quality In 2020, we celebrated the 68th anniversary of our founding. Today, we have grown into a top-tier global airline group in terms of both scale and quality.

Shinya Katanozaka President & Chief Executive Officer 10 11 Management Message The Impact of COVID-19 on Our Businesses However, the spread of infection around the world led to stron- ger immigration restrictions in every country beginning in March. Naturally, we were forced to cancel or reduce flights on interna- tional routes. In Japan, the national government declared a state of emergency on April 7 and local governments requested voluntary restraints on unnecessary travel outside the home. These developments led to a sharp decrease of passengers First, I want to express my sincere gratitude for your continued flying on domestic routes.

In so doing, we remained focused on the safety deal with the challenges at hand. of our customers, our employees, and other stakeholders. Our Initiatives since the Outbreak of COVID-19 do away with internal concerns and foster a sense of security. We are a business that ensures the safety of the skies. Therefore, we absolutely had to avoid situations in which employees were forced to engage in their work while worrying about infection, unemployment, or other concerns.

Our employees united in their sense of mission to fulfill their roles properly and without fanfare when they supported the Wuhan charter flights and the medical gown sewing project. Every employee demonstrated their sense of responsibility to take a personal role in this mission. The ANA Group possesses wings within ourselves that help us overcome difficulties together. Our DNA is rooted in values handed down to us from those who came before, and this DNA will never change at any time in the future.

Using these words, successive generations of management have continued work- ing together single-mindedly with employees to serve society through a foundation of safety. ANA’s predecessor, Japan Helicopter and Aeroplane Transports Co., Ltd. began with only two helicopters, 28 employees, and big dreams. Since that time, we have continued to grow with effort and a spirit of taking on new challenges. We have faced many difficulties due to changes in our business environment. But we have always come through such crises reborn and stronger than ever. We will overcome COVID-19 through the comprehensive capabili- ties of the Group. My dream is for us to build even stronger wings that spread out to connect the people of world and take us forward. Dreams come true, if one makes the effort.

However, the impact of COVID-19 on our business became apparent in February. With the spread of the virus both in Japan and overseas, we assumed that the drastic decline in passenger demand would extend over a longer period of time. Accordingly, we made our response to this urgent issue a top priority. Business Measures We implemented measures for the following four major areas of our businesses. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 (FY) Results for the 1Q of FY2020 Please visit our corporate website for the latest information.

Financial results briefing materials: https://www.ana.co.jp/group/en/investors/irdata/supplement/ Financial Measures The ANA Group implemented financial measures in the following two major areas. At the same time, we issued a request to the government for support of the airline industry. Ensure Liquidity on Hand Results for the 1Q of FY2020 Secured cash amount for the time being, total ¥1 trillion or more 1) Secured bank loans Approx. ¥535 Bn 2) Established additional commitment line Expand to ¥500 Bn Limit Capital Expenditures Reduced capital expenditures significantly 1) Postponed planned aircraft delivery schedule 2) Deferred in-flight product changes, etc. 1 2 We secured liquidity on hand as early as possible in anticipation of the prolonged impact of COVID-19. Working with financial institu- tions, we secured access to approximately ¥1 trillion in total funding, consisting of bank loans of ¥535.0 billion in the first quarter and an expanded commitment line to a maximum of ¥500.0 billion. We also postponed planned aircraft deliveries for this year and deferred in-flight product changes, limiting capital expenditures. We reviewed Group investment plans, deferring some projects and significantly reducing investment amounts. Others Request for Government Assistance to the Airline Industry * Response as a Scheduled Airlines Association of JAPAN Results for the 1Q of FY2020 Obtained deferments of landing and navigation fees, etc. In the meantime, we submitted a request to the government for industry support through the Scheduled Airlines Association of JAPAN. As a result, many airports in Japan have deferred landing and navigation fees. Leasing costs and facilities usage fees have also been reduced. Going forward, our industry will continue to ask for further support, including extended deferments and exemptions of taxes and public fees. 2828 28 29 29 Business Progress Business Progress Future Management Policies Business Environment and the ANA Group Response The impact of COVID-19 has forced changes in social structures and value systems around the world. As work-styles and lifestyles change, the acceptance of a new normal is about to cause changes in demand structures, even in the airline industry. The ANA Group will respond to this situation as described below.

Financial results briefing materials: https://www.ana.co.jp/group/en/investors/irdata/supplement/ Basic Policy for Reform of Business Structure The ANA Group will carry out business structure reform to respond steadily to changes in the market environment. Sustainable Growth Medium Term: Establish a resilient Group business structure that creates consistent, steady value 1) Strengthen Air Transportation Business portfolio strategy 2) Establish a second pillar of earnings on Non-Air Business Enhance corporate value (Stable & Continuous Dividends) Short Term: Change business structure toward surplus in Air Transportation Business 1) Optimize Air Transportation Business portfolio strategy ANA : Reduce the scale of our business for the time being; Concentrate management resources on high-profit routes; Reevaluate products and services to meet a new normal Peach : Capture wider demand in outlying regions of the major cities near Narita and Kansai airports 2) Implement resource-related tactics to reduce fixed costs Fleet : Reduce the number of aircraft; Leverage smaller aircraft and pursue higher capacity rates Human Resources: Revise staffing assignments by enhancing productivity through new work styles, etc. Management Foundation Mission Statement / Safety / Hygiene / ESG Management / Human Resources / DX / ANA’s Way As a short-term initiative, we will change our business structure toward balanced profitability in our Air Transportation Business. 1) Optimize Air Transportation Business portfolio strategy ANA will reduce the scope of its business for the time being, concentrating management resources on high-profit routes. At the same time, ANA will reevaluate current products and services in anticipation of market needs in the post-COVID-19 era. However, Peach, which has established an efficient business structure through merger, will strive to capture wider demand in outlying regions of the major cities near Narita and Kansai airports. 2) Implement resource-related tactics to reduce fixed costs We intend to reduce the total number of owned aircraft in our fleet, as well as leverage smaller and more efficient aircraft. We also plan to review our staffing assignments, enhancing productivity through new work styles based on digital transformation (DX), etc. Over the medium term, we will pursue a deeper portfolio strategy for the purpose of strengthening our Air Transportation Business, covering a wide range of diversifying demand. Also, we will seek to establish a resilient Group business structure that creates consistent, steady value by establishing our Non-Air Business as a second earnings pillar. This will improve corporate value, returning the ANA Group to stable and continuous dividends as we pursue sustainable growth. 3030 30 31 31 Business Progress Business Progress Air Transportation Business We will survive the trials of COVID-19, continuing to grow on into the future. Yuji Hirako Member of the Board of Directors, ANA HOLDINGS INC. President & Chief Executive Officer, ALL NIPPON AIRWAYS CO., LTD. The year 2020 was expected to be a year of great progress, among the best airlines in the world. At the same time, COVID-19 with the expansion of international flight slots at Haneda Airport has had a major impact on our lifestyles and behavior. On June and Japan hosting the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic 1, ANA launched the ANA Care Promise as a new standard for Games. Unfortunately, the airline industry now faces major air travel.

It is at To overcome this unprecedented crisis, we must reform our times like these that we must demonstrate resilience to survive. Air Transportation Business cost structure, particularly in fixed During fiscal 2019, we conducted a comprehensive review of safety, quality and services that form the solid foundation of our business. At the same time, we executed up-front investments in human resources and our fleet to take advantage of the international slot expansion at Haneda Airport. While results were firm through the third quarter, the impact of COVID-19 in the fourth quarter resulted in Air Transportation Business operating revenues amounting to ¥1,737.7 billion, a decrease of 4.2% year on year. Operating income amounted to ¥49.5 billion, a decrease of 69.1%. In fiscal 2020, we will maintain flexibility in controlling capacity during periods of weak demand. We will also work to maximize revenues during periods of recovery. International Passenger Business Phased recovery of ASK while assessing the status of global travel and immigration restrictions Fiscal 2019 in Review In May, we began introducing the Airbus A380 FLYING HONU on our Narita–Honolulu route as part of our Hawaii Strategy. We also introduced Narita–Perth service in September, Narita– Chennai service in October, and Narita–Vladivostok service in March 2020. For the first time in 10 years, ANA unveiled new seats for First Class and Business Class on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. We introduced the upgraded aircraft on the Haneda–London route in August, the Haneda–New York and Narita–New York routes in November, and the Haneda–Frankfurt route in February 2020. We introduced our first private wide-seat with a closable door, called THE Room, in Business Class. These new seats offer the world’s first personal 4K-compatible monitor and other amenities, achieving the highest levels of passenger comfort. Meanwhile, the decline in demand due to COVID-19 on Chinese routes became apparent at the end of January. Slowing demand spread subsequently to routes in Asia, North America, Europe, and Hawaii. In response, we began adjusting supply and demand in February, and by the end of March, we canceled or reduced a total of 2,814 flights across 71 routes. As a result, international route passengers amounted to 9.41 million, a decrease of 6.7% year on year. Operating rev- enues were 5.8% lower at ¥613.9 billion. Fiscal 2020 Business Policies As long as travel and immigration restrictions continue in place around the world, we will continue to reduce the scale of our operations to the greatest extent possible. In the meantime, we will restore capacity in phases if Japan and other countries we Performance of the International Passenger Business Revenues ASK RPK (Index) Fiscal 2015 = 100 130 120 110 100 0 126 119 124 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 (FY) New Business Class Seat, THE Room Our air transportation services have enjoyed an outstanding costs.

In addition, we were forced to cancel a large number of flights beginning in February due to the impact of COVID-19. As a result, both transport volume and revenues underperformed year on year. In our route network, we introduced the Boeing 777F wide- body cargo freighter for the Narita–Shanghai (Pudong) route (July) and Narita–Chicago route (October). In addition to new products such as oversize cargo and special cargo (e.g., semi- conductor manufacturing equipment), we also captured trans- portation demand for emergency supplies and hygiene-related supplies, which surged in demand due to the spread of COVID-19. As a result, international cargo volume for fiscal 2019 amounted to 866 thousand tons (down 5.2% year on year) and operating revenue amounted to ¥102.6 billion (down 17.9%). Fiscal 2020 Business Policies Global passenger flight cancellations and reductions have resulted in a shortage of capacity for international cargo trans- portation. To respond flexibly to the tight supply and demand in Boeing 777F Aircraft the market, we plan to operate extra flights and charters, mainly using freighters. In April, we became the first Japanese airline to begin transporting cargo in the passenger cabin on passen- ger aircraft. We will continue to pursue revenue growth, while maximizing our transport capacity.

We also captured the strong demand over the 10-day Golden Week holidays. We introduced discounted tickets available for purchase up to 355 days prior to boarding as one means to capture demand as early as possible. These and other mea- sures, as well as our new fare structure adopted in the previous year, succeeded in generating sales. In our route network, we increased the number of flights for Narita–Nagoya (Chubu) in May and Nagoya (Chubu)– Kumamoto in October. We also adjusted aircraft type flexibly and optimized the number of flight, optimized supply to demand through aircraft type and scheduling. In November, we introduced new seats on Boeing 777-200 aircraft, offering improved comfort and functionality with power reclining in Premium Class. We also introduced seats equipped with touch panel personal monitors in Economy Class. At the Naha Airport, we altered the layout of the departure counter and implemented the ANA Baggage Drop automated baggage drop machine, making Naha the fourth airport in Japan to be so equipped. We also renovated the ANA LOUNGE. These and other efforts were made to further improve service quality. However, the spread of COVID-19 in Japan prompted the central and local governments to ask citizens to refrain from New Premium Class Seats for the Boeing 777-200 unessential go-out or attendance at events. These policies resulted in a significant decline in passenger demand begin- ning at the end of February. While we endeavored to maintain our network as a public transportation provider, we began adjusting the number of flights in March. In total, 2,674 flights across 42 routes were suspended or reduced. As a result, domestic passengers amounted to 42.91 mil- lion, a decrease of 3.2% year on year. Operating revenues were 2.4% lower, at ¥679.9 billion. Fiscal 2020 Business Policies We will continue to reduce operation-linked expenses by con- trolling the number of flights in operation as long as demand remains weak due to COVID-19. At the same time, we will resume capacity flexibly when we confirm increased demand as a result of increased economic activity and the resumption of travel. We plan to strengthen our ability to capture leisure travel demand by taking advantage of the Japanese govern- ment’s Go To campaign and other measures to encourage tourism. We will leverage these measures to restore profitability and contribute to the revitalization of local economies. Refurbished Naha Airport Departure Counter ANA Signed a Strategic Partnership Agreement with Singapore Airlines Transporting Cargo in the Passenger Cabin On January 31, 2020, ANA signed a joint venture framework agreement with Singapore Airlines to strengthen our network and increase our presence in the Asia / Oceania region. While expanding existing code share flights, ANA is preparing to apply for Antitrust Immunity (ATI) under the Civil Aeronautics Act. Our goal is to start joint operations beginning with our 2021 winter schedule. After approval, this agreement will mark the third such arrangement after United Airlines (Asia–North, Central, and South America) and Lufthansa (Japan– Europe). These stronger alliances help us offer greater passenger convenience and strengthen our competitiveness in the Asia / Oceania region. 3434 34 35 35 Business Progress Business Progress Air Transportation Business Non-Air Business Strengthening efforts to establish a new revenue pillar to stand next to our Air Transportation Business LCC Business Airline Related LCC merger strengthens our business foundation and allows us to allocate management resources on domestic routes for the time being Fiscal 2019 in Review We moved forward with the transfer of aircraft and human resources in stages as we prepared for the Peach Aviation Limited and Vanilla Air Inc. merger. By the end of October, we completed the integration of operations. While we curtailed the use of resources temporarily due to aircraft conversions and flight crew transition training, we transferred 10 routes previ- ously operated by Vanilla Air to Peach. At the same time, geopolitical risks in Hong Kong and South Korea had a negative impact on performance, as did the spread of COVID-19 beginning in February. In response, we canceled or reduced 2,088 flights across 23 international and domestic routes. As a result, passengers numbers amounted to 7.28 million, a decrease of 10.6% year on year. Operating revenues were 12.5% lower, at ¥81.9 billion. Fiscal 2020 Business Policies We introduced Narita–Kagoshima and Narita–Nagasaki service on our domestic routes at the end of March. In mid-June we resumed service for all routes, and in late July, we resumed service for all flights, strengthening our efforts to capture leisure travel demand. On August 1, we launched the Narita–Miyazaki and Narita–Kushiro routes, building on the strengths estab- lished by the Peach brand over the years and expanding routes offered from our LCC base in Narita, taking over from Vanilla Air. LCC Business: Operating Revenues (¥ Billions) 87.5 93.6 81.9 69.8 75.6 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 (FY) * The above graph represents the combined total of Peach and Vanilla Air results (fiscal 2015–2016 includes Peach results before consolidation). Takeaki Mori Representative Director & CEO Peach Aviation Limited After serving many passengers in Japan and overseas, Vanilla Air ceased operations at the end of October 2019 and completed a merger with Peach Aviation. Many who transferred from Vanilla Air, including pilots, cabin atten- dants, maintenance crew, and other employees, are now serving as the mainstay of Peach operations. This merger has combined the strengths of each company, including Peach’s innovative initiatives out of the Kansai International Airport and Vanilla Air’s creation of new Tokyo metropolitan area demand at the Narita Airport. The shared management resources provide economies of scale that have strengthened our business foundation. In addition to the routes taken over from Vanilla Air, Peach introduced service between Narita and Kagoshima, Nagasaki, Miyazaki, and Kushiro, establish- ing a firm presence in the Tokyo metropolitan area. At present, travel remains restricted significantly due to the impact of COVID-19. At the same time, accelera- tion of telework and other work-style reforms have led to more leisure time and even the potential for working from resorts or family homes in rural areas. Seeing these trends, we believe the importance of travel to meet others and enjoying the novelty of visiting new places will only continue to increase. The concept of travel has changed and will continue to expand in the future. By communicating the good qualities and new charms of Japan to the rest of the world, we believe we can develop even more demand in inbound tourist travel. And Peach was one of the first to increase domestic route flights, with the theme of Bridging Your Sky. We will expand our domestic network to function fully in our role as a bridge, contributing to the revitalization of econo- mies in Japan’s outlying regions and of Japan as a whole. In addition, we expect the tabinoco website (user- generated travel content platform) to generate new demand, serving as a bridge connecting passengers with other passengers and Japan’s rural areas. Governments will begin lifting travel restrictions in phases in the near future. Over the medium to long term, we plan to once again expand our international business, taking advantage of our substantial domestic network to encourage inbound travelers to see even more of what Japan has to offer. Peach will secure a position as the leading LCC in Asia, both in customer satisfaction and in market share. Fiscal 2019 operating revenues amounted to ¥299.4 billion Airline Related Business: Operating Revenues (2.9% increase year on year) and operating income amounted to ¥18.1 billion (37.7% increase). This result was mainly due to increased ground handling services at Kansai and Chubu airports and the new consolidation of subsidiary MRO Japan (¥ Billions) Co., Ltd., an aircraft maintenance company launching full 231.9 264.4 284.3 291.0 299.4 operations in Okinawa. Fiscal 2020 contracts for ground handling services are likely to decrease due to fewer flights by overseas airlines owing to the impact of COVID-19. When global operations resume in the future, we will pursue initiatives to restore and strengthen profitability. Travel Services 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 (FY) During fiscal 2019, sales of online products attracted strong Travel Services: Operating Revenues demand for both domestic and international travel. In addition, we took an aggressive stance to capture demand for travel during the 10-day Golden Week holiday in Japan. The spread of COVID-19 beginning in late January impacted operating revenues and operating income, which amounted to ¥143.9 billion (4.5% decrease year on year) and ¥1.3 billion (129.9% increase), respectively. In fiscal 2020, we plan to capture domestic travel demand, which is expected to recover early. We will also pursue efforts to strengthen our competitive posture, taking advantage of the Go To campaign, while expanding direct sales and leveraging our dynamic Tabisaku packaged product.

Further, volume in our Retail business declined at our airport ANA DUTY FREE SHOP retail locations and ANA FESTA airport shops due to the impact of COVID-19. As a result, operating revenues amounted to ¥144.7 billion (3.9% decrease year on year) and operating income amounted to ¥2.9 billion (21.5% decrease). During fiscal 2020, we will exercise selection and concen- tration to strengthen existing businesses, while also creating new businesses that contribute to greater revenue growth.

Peach Aviation has also committed to creating a new standard in the skies through similar measures and the concerted efforts of all employees. We will continue to place the highest priority on safety, providing clean, hygienic environments and ser- vices to offer even greater peace of mind to our customers in every travel situation. Overview of Disease-Prevention Measures 1 Create a hygienic and clean environment at all times • Disinfect and sterilize equipment, etc. • Package food and drinks in the lounge, etc. 2 Implement preventive measures for staff who interact with customers • Wear masks, face shields, etc. (airport and lounge staff) • Wear masks, gloves, and goggles, etc. (cabin attendants) 3 Disinfect all aircraft on a regular basis • International route aircraft (every flight) • Domestic route aircraft (every night) 4 Thorough ventilation inside the aircraft • Ventilate all air in the cabin in three minutes by drawing in clean outside air • Equip all aircraft with high-performance filters* to filter and circulate air inside the cabin Ceiling air conditioning ducts Lower cargo compartment Vent air out of the aircraft * Type used in hospital operating room air conditioners Draw in air from the engine We are asking passengers to cooperate with initiatives to prevent the spread of disease; thereby reducing anxiety among all passen- gers. These measures include mandatory wearing of masks or facial coverings in the airport and inside the aircraft, modified proce- dures within the airport, at security checkpoints, at the boarding gate, social distancing, and other measures. * Passengers who do not wear masks or who are not feeling well (fever, etc.) may be denied boarding.

By launching a new venture for this platform, we will accelerate business speed and contribute to the society of the future in next-generation social infrastructure. In April 2020, ANA Holdings established avatarin Inc. as our first-ever start-up. An avatar is a remote-controlled alter ego robot that enables interactive telepresence. ANA Holdings launched the ANA AVATAR project in 2018, developing robots and researching mobility that does not require physical movement. We see great potential yet to be unlocked in use cases for these avatars. For instance, avatars can contribute to resolving a myriad of social issues in areas like education and healthcare, as well as generate new travel demand. To achieve the wings within ourselves to fulfill the hopes and dreams of an interconnected world as defined in our Mission Statement, avatarin Inc. will address business domains beyond the airline framework, creating new value unique to the ANA Group. 3838 38 39 39 MISSION To expand humanity’s potential by offering new abilities through avatars.

We establish a long-term vision for ourselves, executing our strategies steadily to improve corporate value sustainably. What Does the ANA Group DNA Mean to You? 42 Always remembering to be thankful to our customers and colleagues, and engaging in strong teamwork to deliver safety and security. Yoko Kobayashi ANA Cabin Attendant 43 ANA GROUP ESG MANAGEMENT The Social Environment Surrounding the ANA Group Various social issues exist around the world, including global warming and climate change, energy resource short- ages, increasing ocean plastic waste and microplastics, poverty, and child labor. More voices are calling for a response from not only national and local governments but also from private-sector companies. Examples include the CO2 emissions reduction goals set under the Paris Agreement and the SDGs, which are global common goals to be achieved by 2030. Especially over the past several years, the issue of climate change has attracted global attention, and CO2 is considered to be one of the causes of global warming. The central business of the ANA Group is air transportation. Therefore, we must address the impact of our business activities on the environment and society, including reduc- tion of CO2 emissions from flight operations. In addition, the Air Transportation Business is susceptible to external factors, such as natural disasters, terrorism, and the spread of infectious disease. Creating stability in our global environ- ment and social circumstances is critical for our business operations. The ESG Management Promotion Cycle for Sustainable Growth Having gained an understanding of the surrounding envi- ronment, the ANA Group pursues ESG management to become an indispensable part of society in the future, to grow continually as a company, and to create value. We identify social demands through dialogue with stakeholders, and then align our corporate strategy with these requirements, evaluating the impact on business and society. Finally, we incorporate these requirements into corporate initiatives. We disclose the status of our initiatives on our corporate website and through other channels as necessary. At the same time, we engage in regular dialogue with stakeholders based on information we disclose. We also report our progress and confirm the appropriateness of our initiatives in those dialogues. We pursue ESG management through a cycle of dialogue, initiatives, and information disclosure. Here, our aim is to develop a sustainable society and to increase corporate value. 44 ANA Group ESG Management Promotion Cycle Dialogue Dialogue External Dialogue Stakeholder Dialogue Stakeholder Dialogue Internal Dialogue Alignment With Alignment with Corporate Strategy Corporate Strategy Mission Statement Mission Statement Built on a foundation of Built on a foundation security and trust, “the of security and trust, wings within ourselves” help to fulfill the hopes “the wings within and dreams of an inter- ourselves” help to connected world. fulfill the hopes and dreams of an inter- Dialogue Based on Dialogue Based on Dialogue Based on Dialogue Based on Information Disclosed Information Disclosed Information Disclosed Information Disclosed connected world.

ANA Group Material Issues in ESG Management We aligned the social demands identified through dia- logue with stakeholders with our corporate strategy. After evaluating the impact on business and society, we identi- fied four material issues, and we have been engaged in addressing these issues through our business activities. In fiscal 2015, we identified three material issues: the environment, diversity and inclusion (D&I), and regional revitalization. In fiscal 2016, we added human rights as a fourth material issue. In fiscal 2019, we established the ANA Group ESG Commitments. At that time, we held dialogues with experts and conducted management-level discussions to confirm that these four material issues would continue to be material issues for the ANA Group.

We strive to solve material issues related to the environment, human rights, D&I, and regional revitalization. To further promote ESG management from a long-term perspective, we developed ANA Group ESG Commitments based on the following three viewpoints. We will continue to address these issues in achieving our commitments. 1 Commitments to Be Achieved by 2050 2 Commitments to Pursue on an Ongoing Basis through 2030, the Final Target Year for the SDGs Matters for Which We 3 Provide Disclosure and Report Results on a Continued Basis 1 Commitments to Be Achieved by 2050 Reduce CO2 emissions from aircraft flight operations by 50% (compared to 2005) Environment (Million ton) 12 Domestic International 10 8 6 4 2 0 Address the environment from the following four viewpoints. (1) Adopt new technologies Move forward in introducing fuel-efficient aircraft and improved engines, including the Boeing 787 and Airbus A320neo / A321neo models, developed through new technology. (2) Improve flight operations Reduce fuel consumption by improvements in aircraft flight operation, regularly cleaning the inside of the engine, and reducing the weight of equipment installed. (3) Introduction of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) Continue to introduce SAF produced from sustainable sources, such as vegetable oil, animal fat, and waste biomass. (4) Utilize emission trading schemes (purchase CO2 emissions credit) Reduce CO2 emissions globally by purchasing CO2 emission credit generated by lower CO2 emissions in businesses other than aviation. To prevent a further increase of CO2 emissions 50% reduction compared to 2005 Eliminate CO2 emissions from all non-aircraft flight operations by 2050 Environment Reduced through energy conservation Eliminate CO2 Emissions Shift to renewable energy 2019 2050 Delve deeper into energy conservation mea- sures and pursue a shift to renewable energy sources. At the same time, plan to introduce hybrid vehicles (HVs), electric vehicles (EVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) for use in air- ports, while upgrading existing equipment in our facilities and buildings to more energy- efficient models over time. Reduce our resource waste ratio to zero and reduce food waste, including in-flight meals, by 50% Environment Promote the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle resources, such as plastic and paper).

The first step is to identify social demands through regular dialogue with stakeholders (Step 1). The second step is to identify ESG issues related to our businesses and develop ANA Group ESG Commitments (Step 2). The third step is to verify the appropriateness of the commitments through dialogue with ESG investors and to finalize commitments in the Group Management Committee (Step 3). Identify Social Demands Categorize and Prioritize Social Demands to Develop Commitments Step 3 Verify Appropriateness and Finalize Commitments Identify Social Demands through Dialogue with Stakeholders Management Level Discussions Verifying Targets with Our Stakeholders When developing the ANA Group ESG Commitments, we engage in dialogue with ESG experts to understand the social expectations and requirements of the ANA Group.

We conducted an interview with ESG experts to better understand social trends and respond appropriately. These interviews consisted of questionnaire responses, rather than face-to-face meetings, considering safety. We will continue to engage in dialogue with stakeholders to understand and identify social demands. Topics Expectations and concerns required of the ANA Group due to changes in consciousness after the spread of COVID-19 Implementation Period June to July 2020 Summary Hiroshi Ishida Executive Director, Caux Round Table Japan In order to achieve the medium and long-term goals set by the ANA Group, ANA Group will continue to focus on medium to long-term trends and follow the ESG-related efforts which include the respect for human rights, environmental considerations, etc. In addition, we expect that it will be possible to build a resilience business model by absorbing the change in social value due to the impact of COVID-19 in the long-term trend. Under the COVID-19, it is important for the ANA Group to pursue transparency in the process of identifying new ESG issues and to develop a “Quality Relationship” with the aim of improving reliability with ESG-related investors. In the context of the COVID-19 crisis, companies are expected to put adequate measures in place to make sure that they manage human rights risks connected to the pandemic. This should include at a minimum a commitment from the company to respect human rights in this crisis and a clear allocation of responsibility inside the company to ensure that this is achieved in practice. It is crucial for companies to take necessary steps to identify, assess and manage the human rights risks connected to the COVID-19 crisis through a robust human rights due diligence process. For a company with a large supply chain like ANA Group, adopting responsible purchasing practices to protect suppliers should be a priority. Companies are also expected to provide effective remedy, including the availability of griev- ance mechanisms through which complaints related to COVID-19 concerns can be made without the fear of retaliation. More than ever, the COVID-19 crisis shows the need for sustainable, inclusive develop- ment and provides the opportunity to ‘build back better’: making society and the economy more resilient by protecting fundamental human rights, aligning short-term economic inter- ests with long-term needs, and ensuring continued momentum on the SDGs. Camille Le Pors Lead, Corporate Human Rights Benchmark, World Benchmarking Alliance It is appreciated that ANA Group is committed to the UN Guiding Principles (UNGPs) through its Human Rights policy, training and Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD). With social dis- tancing here to stay for coming month HRDD process will be tested, due to tough business environment and limited in-person engagement (with employees, suppliers and rights hold- ers) in the value chain. Particularly, impacts on travellers will be due to with travel restrictions, increased sanitisation, social distancing at airports as well as inside the aircrafts. Some rights holders* will be more impacted than the others, thus it will be important to keep re- evaluating needs and Human Rights risks in ANA’s value chain. * Rights-holders: People impacted directly by corporate activities, etc. The world today is a different place: are we still a global society? I believe our ‘new normal’ will be different because—perhaps for the first time in our lives—we will try not to lose what we have found. How ANA Group copes with the shift to a smaller global travel and hospitality sector will be a case study for how to keep sight of what matters. Those parts of the business that were in the shadows will now fall into the light. The decisions on what to cut and what to keep will require close examination of what was waste- ful and what was valuable. © Caux Round Table Japan Rishi Sher Singh Specialist in Global Value Chains Puvan Selvanathan Chair, Bluenumber Foundation and Former Member of the UN Working Group on Business and Human Rights The COVID-19 pandemic provided an unexpected temporary reduction in CO2 emissions and other environmental impacts. Companies that return to their old ways of doing business and cannot transform may be disqualified by society in the post-COVID-19 world. As such, 37 companies and 28 industry groups in Europe have joined the Green Recovery Alliance*. The ANA Group post-COVID-19 recovery shall pursue the concept of Do No Harm to avoid returning to the pre-COVID-19 CO2 emission level, and to further efforts towards Net Zero of all negative environmental and social impacts, not just carbon emissions. ANA Group shall take advantage of this window of opportunity to become a leader in green recovery and sustainability, and to commit as early as possible to the stakeholders, especially the future generations. Yasushi Hibi Vice President, Conservation International * Green Recovery Alliance: An informal alliance of political leaders, civil society groups and NGOs, CEO and business associations, and the European trade union confederation. This alliance promotes the EU post-pandemic recovery plan, accelerating the transition toward climate neutrality and healthy ecosystems. 50 51 Sustainability Initiatives DIALOGUE WITH EXPERTS ON ESG More and more governments around the world are adopting the Green Recovery policies, looking ahead to the post-COVID-19 world. More than ever, businesses are being asked to improve sustainability. WWF has raised Green and Just Recovery, Wildlife Exploitation, and Land Use and Food Systems as important social issues, suggesting the need to review approaches in these areas. The ANA Group is expected to show a long-term post-COVID-19 airline business plan that is consistent with the requirements by the Science Based Targets Initiative* so as to reframe its efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and realize a zero-carbon society. Also, the ANA group is expected to expand measures against illegal trade as a means to prevent infections from animals. Further, it should use resources wisely by reducing and reusing TOBAI Sadayosi Chief Executive Officer WWF Japan ©WWF Japan plastics, as well as by sourcing palm oil, timber, paper, and other resources through sustain- able means. * Science Based Targets Initiative: Science Based Targets is a collaborative initiative among the WWF, CDP, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the UN Global Compact. The initiative encourages companies to adopt emissions reduction targets in line with what the latest climate science says is necessary to limit global warming to well below 2˚C above pre-industrial levels. One of the issues investors are currently focusing on is how companies support, diversify and maintain a sustainable supply chain. It highlights the importance of employment, health, safety, work styles, and satisfaction of employees of the group and supply chain companies are also crucial issues. Besides, investors are paying attention not only to data security but also to data governance, because AI-based analysis and utilization of customer and employee data requires a partnership with the external parties. As the global aviation industry is expected to remain in a tough situation for a while, I hope the ANA Group will re-question what it can do and find new growth opportunities as a resilient company in the Post-COVID-19 era. Masaru Arai Chair, Japan Sustainable Investment Forum (JSIF) Being a Company Indispensable to Society in the Post-COVID-19 World The ANA Group is being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in significant ways. However, the direction in which we promote ESG management from a long-term per- spective will remain unchanged after we overcome this crisis. We aim to become a resilient company by listening to and accurately understanding the social demands of the post-COVID-19 world. We will reflect the input of experts in our strategic initiatives. We also continue to aim to create a sustainable society (contribute to the SDGs) and increase corporate value by identifying social demands through ongoing dialogue with stakeholders and by implementing measures appropriately.

ESG Implementation Structure We established the Group ESG Management Promotion Committee ESG Implementation Structure (which was renamed from the Group CSR / Risk Management / Compliance Committee in April. 2020) in accordance with Group ESG Board of Directors, Other Management Committees, etc. Management Promotion Committee Regulations. This committee, which Group ESG Management Promotion Committee operates under the guidance of the president and under the chairmanship of the director in charge of corporate sustainability, consists of ANA HOLDINGS and Group company directors, executive officers, and the full-time Audit & Supervisory Board members of ANA HOLDINGS. The committee establishes core policies, formulates proposals, and deliber- ates matters related to ESG management. After deliberations, important issues are elevated to the board of directors, the Audit & Supervisory Board, and the Group Management Committee. Each Group company has an appointed ESG promotion officer (EPO) to oversee ESG and ESG promotion leader (EPL) to lead the ESG activi- ties of their respective organization.

These principles and policies build on the ANA FLY ECO 2020 medium- to long-term environmental plan from fiscal 2012 to fiscal 2020 and include initiatives for reducing environmental impact. We recognize that global environmental issues, including climate change and biodiversity conservation, are quintessential management tasks, and we will continue striving to reduce our environmental impact. In fiscal 2020, the final year of ANA FLY ECO 2020, we have formulated long-term targets looking ahead to the year 2050. We are proceeding with the formulation of a medium-term environmental plan leading to the year 2030 to help us achieve these long-term targets. Global Trends The aviation industry is heavily dependent on fossil fuels, with 2016 ICAO Assembly of the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction approximately 2% of all CO2 emitted around the world said to Scheme, which is a scheme for achieving the CNG2020 goal. be generated from the aviation field. In recent years, there has been a growing sense of crisis CO2 Emissions Forecast and Reduction Targets about climate change issues, and the aviation industry is accel- erating its efforts to reduce CO2. The Paris Agreement was adopted at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21). Prior to this, Carbon Neutral Growth 2020 (CNG2020) had been adopted in the aviation sector following a resolution of the 2010 ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Assembly. The target of CNG2020 is to keep the global net carbon emis- sions from international aviation from 2021 at the same level. Additionally, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has set the ambitious goal of reducing CO2 net carbon emissions by 50% by the year 2050 compared to 2005. Other initiatives have advanced across the industry to curb CO2 emissions. These initiatives include the adoption in the CO2 Emissions Emissions based on current, unchanged trajectory Carbon Neutral Growth 2020 Change in total emissions 100 50 Utilize emission trading schemes (purchase CO2 emissions credits) Improve flight operations Adopt new technologies Introduction of SAF CNG2020 (Left axis) Index: 2005 results = 100 2005 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Drafted based on the IATA Vision Information Disclosure on Response to Climate Change CDP TCFD Disclosure of information on corporate strategies for CO2 emissions and climate change.

These measures will lead to reduced CO2 emissions. Engine cleaning We can restore engine performance through regular cleaning of inside components using water. This main- tenance has been proved to lower the combustion temperature of the engine, improve fuel efficiency, and reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 1%. 55 50% reduction by 2050 Improve Flight Operations Sustainability Initiatives ENVIRONMENT Introduction of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) To prevent increasing CO2 emissions for 2021 and beyond, the ICAO Assembly adopted the use of renewable aviation fuels other than the conventional fossil fuels. This development requires the use of SAF, jet fuel made from sustainable sources such as veg- etable oil, animal fat, and waste biomass. Considering the SAF life cycle, it is preferable that SAF be locally produced for local con- sumption. Therefore, we are pursuing efforts toward the adoption of SAF together with relevant institutions and businesses inside and outside Japan for stable production both domestically and overseas. In October 2019, ANA received delivery at Haneda Airport of a new Boeing 777-300ER from the manufacturer’s Everett plant (Washington State, U.S.A.). This aircraft uses exhaust gas-derived SAF manufactured by U.S.-based LanzaTech. For this flight, ANA not only purchased and used SAF but also took the lead in trans- porting SAF from the factory, mixing the fuel, inspecting quality, and refueling. In this way, we acted as the main player throughout the supply chain. IATA-Hosted SAF Symposium Lecture (New Orleans, U.S.A.) The IATA hosted the SAF Symposium in New Orleans in November 2019. As a panelist, ANA stated that we would work with governments, related institu- tions, and businesses to ensure the stable production of SAF in Japan as well. Initiatives to Reduce Environmental Impact Carbon Offset Program In response to customer feedback, the ANA Group now offers Reduce Food Waste We have expanded in-flight meal reservations in First Class and the ANA Carbon Offset Program by class on domestic and Business Class sections of our international flights.

We received this honor in recognition of our environmental initia- tives and corporate stance that emphasizes social responsibility. One specific initiative recognized was our work to reduce environmental impact by recycling resources. Our efforts here include waste separation (glass bottles, PET bottles, and cans) generated on all international flights arriving in Japan. products for sale on domestic routes. Donations are made to Second Harvest Japan*, a certified NPO. * Japan’s first food bank, collecting foods that would otherwise become food loss and delivering it to people in need Exchanging Disposable Plastics for Eco-Friendly Materials By the end of fiscal 2020, approximately 70% of the total weight of all disposable plastic products used in-flight and in airport lounges will be eco-friendly materials, such as paper and bio- plastics. In addition, ANA supports the Plastics Smart campaign sponsored by the Ministry of the Environment, and we are engaged in further initiatives in this area. Utilize Emission Trading Schemes (Purchase CO2 Emissions Credits) Taking Action for Biodiversity We are exploring the potential for using ICAO-approved programs to trade emission credits (purchase CO2 credits), since it will become mandatory to offset increased CO2 emissions on and after 2021. We recognize that these credits are also an effective method for offset reduction. Initiatives in Non-Aircraft Operations Based on energy management standards established uniquely for and by the ANA Group, we reduced CO2 generated outside of aircraft operations by 4.4% compared with the previous fiscal year. We achieved this result by upgrading Group-owned and leased facilities with energy-saving equipment and by using renewable energy, including solar power generated in-house. In fiscal 2020, we began purchasing and expanding our use of electricity from renewable sources. ANA, ANA Catering Service Co., Ltd., and ANA Foods Co., Ltd. received the Excellence in Energy Efficiency Award (S Class) certifi- cation under the Act on the Rational Use of Energy of the Ministry of Trade, Economy and Industry for a fifth consecutive year.

Promote responsible procurement and supply-chain management: Manage and promote environment-conscious procurement with respect to human rights and build a fair and transparent supply chain. Basic Approach The ANA Group has been working to ensure human rights in accordance with the global standards provided in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. In April 2016, we established the ANA Group Policy on Human Rights. We based this policy on the International Bill of Human Rights (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the two International Covenants), the International Labour Organization Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact, and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. We also encourage our contrac- tors and suppliers to adopt similar policies.

Issuing the Human Rights Report The ANA Group issued our first Human Rights Report in Japan in 2018, aiming to promote communication with stakeholders through active dissemination of our initiatives to respect human rights. The Group has continued 人権報告書 2019 to issue these reports annually since then. Involving Business Partners We inform all contractors and suppliers of the ANA Group Purchasing Guidelines. We work together to ensure their work- place environments uphold respect for human rights. Note that we are preparing to revise the ANA Group Purchasing Guidelines with the cooperation of third-party insti- tutions to ensure even more responsible procurement. In October, we visited a company involved in the production of in-flight meals for ANA flights departing from Thailand. There, we conducted interviews about initiatives related to traceability and exchanged views with local NGOs and others. Major Initiatives In 2016, we conducted a review to identify potential risks to human rights related to business activities across the ANA Group and at all locations where we serve. Our evaluation identified the following four key issues for risk prevention. Note that though we conducted a re-assessment to identify risks in 2019 based on advice from outside experts, we confirmed that there are no changes at present to the four existing key issues, as follows.

ANA’s Sora-Pass Classes We provide a Sora-Pass* class for children who are not used to traveling on aircraft. Here, children learn the boarding process from the airport to the cabin of the aircraft. In 2019, we launched an ANA Sora-Pass class (boarding support class) for students using wheel- chairs and students with developmental disabilities. ANA Group employees visit schools and teach classes to students who use ANA flights for school travel to alleviate the anxieties about air travel. * Sora-Pass: Air Travel Passport 11 Point 22 Point ANA instructors teach classes appropriate to the characteristics of the children’s disabilities Experience-based curriculum allowing students to easily understand boarding an aircraft 33 Point Instructors are current ANA employees One class is a 60- or 70-minute session. ANA instructors visit schools and teach classes in which students learn the pro- cess from boarding to disembarking in the classroom, after which they experience the process for themselves. Students experience sitting in on-board wheelchairs, security checkpoint proce- dures, and more. ANA Group employees who have experi- ence as cabin attendants or ground staff serve as instructors (instructor job experi- ence depends on program content). ANA Wing Fellows Vie Oji: Diverse Human Resources Shine and Excel ANA Wing Fellows Vie Oji was established in June 1993 and was accredited as a special subsidiary under the Act on Employment Promotion, etc. of Persons with Disabilities in December 1993. Since then, the company has operated busi- nesses in diverse locations, business types, and with diverse human resources. At the same time, we have pursued diverse work styles in the ANA Group, serving as a leader of diversity and inclusion.

Universal Standard Consulting: Leveraging Strengths for New Value We established the Universal Standard Consulting business unit in August 2016. The unit provides consulting services to spread the adoption of universal environments inside and outside the ANA Group. The unit suggests high-quality universal standards based on the perspectives and sensibilities of people with disabilities and our own ANA’s heartfelt service. Specifically, the unit verifies equipment at airports and on aircraft, as well as organizes workplace environment seminars for ANA Group employees. The unit also inspects hotels and accommodation facilities, in addition to promoting the employ- ment of visually impaired persons. 62 63 Promoting Universal Services through Group BusinessesSustainability Initiatives MATERIAL ISSUES Regional Revitalization ANA Group ESG Commitments Utilizing innovation to solve social issues: Provide new value through avatars, drones, MaaS, etc., and cooperate with different industries Regional revitalization: Contribute to regional revitalization Basic Approach Japan is famous for its traditional culture and tourism attractions. On the other hand, Japan faces concerns about falling populations in rural areas and the gradual decline of traditional industries. The ANA Group works together with corporations, NGOs, NPOs, local governments, and others in order to develop long-term demand for the Air Transportation Business, as well as to expand the ANA economic sphere (including Non-Air Business). In addition, we will contribute to regional revitalization through tourism promotion in this era of the new normal by providing informa- tion about tourist area safety and security. Implementation Structure The ANA Group Regional Revitalization Meeting, under the Tourism Development section of ANA Marketing and Sales, organically integrates initiatives across Group companies to maximize impact.

ANA Group Medium-Term Safety Promotion Plan Based on the FY2018–2022 ANA Group Medium-Term Safety Promotion Plan, we have improved the safety risk management process, focusing on prevention as a key component. In fiscal 2020, we began the following measures in pursuit of our vision to become a lead- ing airline with a world-class “Safety system and Culture” and create a sense of safety for customers. 1. Offering a Sense of Safety for Our Customers Customer questionnaires and interview results help us identify the points at which customers feel a sense of safety when using ANA Group services. We offer peace of mind for customers through individual Group employee performance and dedication to safety. C o m m u n c a t i i o n Sense of Safety 2. Strengthening Safety Structures We improve our safety risk management process (see the following section) through safety structures that conform to global standards Customer Customer and other measures. We strengthen our safety systems by visualizing risks and mea- sures, analyzing flight data, and using indicators to identify the signs of unsafe events. At the same time, we work together with other airline companies to improve safety across the airline industry. 3. Putting Safety Actions into Practice We analyze the safety actions and reflect the results in our training and practice to strengthen our safety structures. Safety Implementation of Implementation of Safety Measures Safety Measures Safety Structures Education / Education / Awareness Awareness Safety Culture ANA Group ANA Group 68 Four Axes of Safety Risk Management The ANA Group has adopted a PDCA cycle for safety management for (1) aircraft operations, (2) passengers, (3) employees (front line), and (4) security. We have set numerical targets for unsafe events with respect to these four axes. At monthly Group Safety Promotion Committee meetings, which holds the final decision-making authority within our safety implementation structure, attendees report on high-risk events and issues, discuss countermeasures and risk reduction, and review safety targets and achievement rates. Four Axes of Safety Risk Management Operations Passengers Employees (front line) Preventing accidents / major incidents Preventing harm to the bodies and lives of passengers from departure to arrival Preventing dangers to ANA Group employees and others Security Advance risk identification and prevention for illegal acts, such as terrorism and hijacking incidents The Changing Environment and the Unchanging Mindset toward Safety Awareness The ANA Group also faces significant changes in the business environment due to COVID-19. In an environment where the number of flights are significantly reduced or suspended, employees face three different task categories that can result in human error. Three Task Categories (First Time, Procedure Changes, and Task after Extended Time Gap) First Time Task Uncommon tasks Procedure Changes New or different procedures and environments Task after Extended Time Gap Performing a task an extended time away / away from the process Every ANA Group employee uses foresight to anticipate risks, sharing information and using the assertion* method with coworkers to respond appropriately to these three task categories, leveraging organization management to prevent unsafe situations. * Assertion: Employees respect each other and express their opinions in a constructive and cooperative manner, which is important behavior for a team to ensure safety. Every employee strives to create an atmosphere in which everyone feels free to express themselves and voice their concerns to prevent unsafe events. Passing on Lessons Learned from Air Accidents—Forest Dew Park On July 30, 1971, an ANA aircraft and a Japan Self-Defense Force aircraft on a training flight collided and crashed over the city of Shizukuishi, Iwate Prefecture, resulting in 162 causalities. The Irei no Mori monument has been well kept and maintained by the local community in Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Every year, more than 500 ANA Group employees visit to clean the forest and for safety enlightenment. In 2020, which coincides with the 50th anniversary of the accident, the monu- ment was rebuilt and the location renamed to Forest Dew Park. The name was changed to meet the wishes of those concerned to make the monument more familiar and more casually accessible to those who are unfamiliar with the acci- dent. We will continue to maintain the new Forest Dew Park together with the foundation for the Irei no Mori and stakeholders in the local community, etc., as Monument for Aviation Safety we strive to preserve the memories of ANA’s last casualty involved aircraft accident and maintain the location as a place reflect- ing an oath for safe aviation operations. 69 Business Foundations Supporting Corporate Value Safety ANA Group Safety Education Center (ASEC) We established ASEC in 2007 in Shimomaruko, Ota-ku, Tokyo. This activity was our response to a proposal from an employee who said that ANA should create a location to preserve the memories of past accidents. In October 2019, we relocated the ASEC to the newly Toward Ensuring Safety built ANA Group Training Center (ANA Blue Base). Configuration of ASEC The facility is located on the second and third floors of the ANA Blue Base (ABB) and consists of three spaces. 1 The Way Theater 2 The Sky of the Pledges 3 Active Lounge The theater is a space where visitors come face-to-face with the accidents through the use of videos and the exhibition of parts of the crashed aircraft. This is a space where ANA Group employ- ees engage with the memories of their senior employees who experienced an accident and converse with them in spirit. The lounge is a space to learn how to notice human errors through experience and discussion with colleagues. Overview of the Education Programs Firsthand Experience of the Tragedy of Accidents This program allows participants to come face-to-face with the acci- dents through the use of videos and records from the past. Firsthand Experience of Real Situations that Cause Human Errors This program allows participants to learn the mechanism where human errors occur through discussions. Putting Safety Actions into Practice The purpose of this program is to allow participants to conduct safety activities in their workplaces follow- ing their declaration of safety activities. The new ASEC offers programs that allow participants We raise awareness of safety through three concepts that to engage actively and create safety together with other reflect the ideas under which we created the center: Look participants through education, as well as to experience the truthfully at accidents, look truthfully inside, and look truthfully creation of peace of mind for customers. The ASEC also uses at our colleagues. Under these concepts, the ASEC strives expertise from inside and outside the Group, introducing the to raise safety awareness through safety education and latest information equipment to transform the center into a strengthen the culture of pursuing safety without compromise, learning facility that allows employees to conduct safety which forms the foundation for our management. activities in their workplaces. Strengthening the Safety Management System to Address Alcohol Issues On May 1, 2020, ANA received a business improvement order height of efforts by the entire airline industry to prevent the from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism recurrence of alcohol issues. We apologize once again for to ensure the safety of air transportation in relation to a drinking the concern and trouble we caused our customers and incident by our flight crew that occurred at Fukuoka Airport in stakeholders. November of the previous year. The incident recurred at the Future Measures The ANA Group will solve alcohol issues through the following key measures. 1. Ensure Alcohol Testing (Set Up a Strict Testing Procedures) 2. A Personal Transformation in Each Employee (Develop Responsible Drinking Behavior) • In addition to the legally mandated alcohol testing, conduct a pre-test and report from home or hotel before work • We implemented an initiative to develop responsible drinking habits among our employees, called the TEKKIN INITIATIVE. • Strengthen management systems by creating an alcohol test management system in conjunction with a facial recognition system, etc. • We are improving the educational system and developing work- place leaders to ensure that all employees are aware of the alco- hol issue and they must exercise self-control. Pre-test Legal test OK OK Plan approval Alcohol Test Management System ZERO! ONE! TWO! Do not drink before work and if you are in poor health. Do not encourage drinking for non-drinkers. The right amount of drinking for those who are intolerant to alcohol is one drink. The right amount of drinking per day is two drinks.

Innovation Establishing a Group D&I Promotion Department In conjunction with our D&I Declaration in April 2015, we estab- lished a dedicated organization within the Human Resources Department to promote the active participation of diverse human resources. This organization promotes environmental improvement, fosters culture, and encourages changes in paradigms. In April 2020, we established the new Group D&I Promotion Department, aiming to strengthen our D&I promo- tion function. In addition to the diversity of attributes such as age, nation- ality, gender, and disability, we respect diversity of viewpoints and beliefs arising from values and experiences not physically observable.

Four Perspectives on ANA Group Health Management: Developing an Environment Encouraging a Long Career in the ANA Group The ANA Group is focused on the following four priority measures. We maintain and improve the physical and mental health of our employees through regular situational monitoring and by analyzing / responding to positive impact and challenges. Health Management Initiatives 1 • Create an environment for health management throughout Disease Prevention Initiatives 2 • Enhance measures for each target employee the group Standardize health checkup list and determination criteria Establish health management offices at each branch and construct a health management system Strengthen cancer prevention measures for all Group employees Adopt policies regarding women-specific diseases introducing virtual desktop environments. In January 2017, we expanded the scope of places, eligible employees, and number of work days related to telework. We continue to intro- duce a variety of measures encouraging telework, including a special hometown telework program we adopted in fiscal 2019. As a result, we were able to transition smoothly to telework, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The situation has led to a review of work styles and details from new perspectives. Encouraging Kaizen We are working to establish kaizen as a style of work within the ANA Group. This process of continuous improvement is designed to find and resolve problems in daily work, creating room to breathe mentally and increase time for customers and • Create a post-checkup follow-up cycle conducted by industrial • Establish and monitor health management indicators across all employees. physicians Group companies Mental Health Initiatives 3 • Deploy mental health-related measures to all Group companies Safety and Health Initiatives 4 • Develop safe, secure workplace environments Educate employees at the workplace and management level Deploy measures to prevent occupational accidents Establish a strong safety and health management system • Conduct follow-ups by occupational health staff and activate • Deploy cross-organizational educational activities driven by the workplace communication to encourage prevention activities of health and safety committees Mental Health Initiatives As the social environment changes and causes rapid changes in the working environment, healthy minds become an even more important factor in the quality of life and work. The ANA Group has introduced measures in line with the four types of mental health care described in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare’s Guidelines for Maintaining and Improving Workers’ Mental Health.

In fiscal 2019, overseas branch activities received commendations for superior practices, which have been expanded as global activities. Superior practices were shared from not only the front lines but also from administrative departments. These ideas have also resulted in work-style reform. 74 75 Implement stress checksProvide care through occupational health staffProvide care through external consultation desksBusiness Foundations Supporting Corporate Value Unique ANA Group Initiatives Built on a foundation of security and trust, “the wings within ourselves” help to fulfill the hopes and dreams of an interconnected world. The phrase, the wings within ourselves, from our Mission Statement represents the strong desire of each employee to become wings, connecting people, goods, and emotions. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, we carry on, uplifted by the wings within ourselves and fulfilling our mission as a public transportation provider. We move forward, creating unique and new actions based on our Group code of conduct, ANA’s Way. Wuhan to Haneda Charter Flight On January 29, 2020, ANA operated a charter flight between Wuhan and Haneda for persons wishing to return to Japan from Wuhan, China, which had been on lockdown due to the outbreak of COVID-19. In a short period of time, we prepared for the flight and operated a total of five charter flights to help people without a means to return to Japan. Every Japanese person resid- ing in China’s Hubei Province and wishing to return to Japan were able to return. In total, 828 Japanese citizens and their family members were brought home safely on ANA flights. On June 23, 2020, we became the first airline to receive a letter of appreciation from Foreign Minister Motegi for this initiative to safeguard the lives and health of many people, including Japanese persons living abroad. Support for Sewing Medical Gowns The spread of COVID-19 has led to an increasing need for medical gowns and resulting inventory shortages in Japan. In April 2020, in response to a request from the government and the ANA Group’s desire to play a role in the safety of healthcare workers, we recruited employee volunteers to help sew portions of medical gowns, cut sleeve fabrics, and inspect end products. Under the direction of Valley LLC, volunteers worked in a hygiene-conscious environment at ANA Blue Base, the ANA Group’s general training center. A total of 380 employees from the Group contributed to producing gowns over 32 days. In April 2020, we launched our gown project with participation by craftspersons across Japan. From the moment we held our first online meeting, I could feel the passion of each participant, and I was convinced this would be a successful project. The cohesion among our members grew day by day, and on July 16, we delivered our initial target of 100,000 gowns on time. I always thought that working behind the scenes, no one on the front lines of medical care would think about our efforts. However, I remember feeling an inde- scribable happiness from the support we received from so many people. I was also greatly pleased when we received a note of appreciation for our gown pro- duction efforts from a medical professional onboard an ANA flight. Though there are many tough days still ahead, I will remember the lessons I learned from the ANA Group about what it means to be a professional.

We held meetings separately from board meetings in which the ANA HOLDINGS represen- tative director, the ANA president & CEO, officers in charge of corporate planning, and outside directors discussed the ANA Group Corporate Strategy. Opinions Discussed • Time spent on business in Europe provides a real sense that climate change is a very hot topic there. We must also take environmental issues more seriously. • What is the ideal business model for ANA, which operates in a small country such as Japan, compared to airlines in the United States and China operating over a vast land area? What measures should ANA take toward this ideal? • The cargo business is greatly impacted by economic trends. Can we grow it into a core business of our portfolio with our current understanding that cargo is an accessory to the passenger service? • Global risks are likely to increase in the future. We must prepare for the continued rise of populism and nationalism, leading to gradual restrictions on the movement of people and goods. Improvement Example (2) Held meetings for outside directors to discuss the avatar business We established avatarin Inc. in April 2020 to create new businesses and resolve social issues. We held a meeting separately from board meetings for outside directors to provide deeper explanations of our avatar business and solicit opinions from various perspectives. At the meeting, outside directors learned the details of the avatar business and received a demonstration of the remote-controlled robot newme. Outside directors discussed the avatar business after the presentation and demonstration.

Materials (quantity, quality) handed out during board meetings 86 87 Business Foundations Supporting Corporate Value Effectiveness of the Board of Directors Town Meetings with Frontline Employees Background Following the principles of Japan’s Corporate Governance Code, we conduct a twice-yearly survey (ANA’s Way Survey) to determine whether ANA Group employees understand and comply with ANA’s Way, our Group code of conduct. The survey results revealed the need to encourage further communications between management and employees. Also, outside directors have requested to meet and talk with frontline employees to deepen an understanding of the Group’s business and corporate culture as a whole. Based on these requests, we have held town meetings between outside directors and frontline employees since fiscal 2018. Town meetings were held with section managers at the ANA Engineering & Maintenance Center and maintenance departments within Group companies during fiscal 2018. In 2019, we conducted similar interactions with members of the Flight Operation Center (FOC). 2019 Town meetings with members of the Flight Operation Center (FOC) Process Outside directors selected from several topics to discuss with the FOC Documents related to the selected topics were pro- vided to the outside direc- tors beforehand Six outside directors and six FOC employees were divided into two groups for active discussions. 1. Consistent Training Programs for Flight Crew Members QWhat are the issues in providing consistent training for skilled flight crew members? A strong mentality to express their own opinions is a must. Young people tend to try to judge other people’s feelings and worry about what other people think. Worrying too much about what other people think becomes a hindrance in making decisions when decisiveness is required. A captain must always exercise appropriate judgment. Advanced technological innovation of aircraft allows the cap- tain to concentrate more on management and communication in the cockpit, rather than solely on aircraft operations. The issue is how to improve judgment through everyday operations. How do we conduct our business to develop pilots over the long term? Approximately 100 pilots were hired when our generation joined the Company (class of 1992–1993). However, every time the economy stalled, we reduced recruitment and post- poned captain promotion training. Fluctuations in recruitment may be unavoidable over the short term. However, this vari- ance certainly impacts the consistency of flight crew training over the medium and long term. Flight crew members over 65 years should be allowed to continue to work if they are willing and able. The ANA retirement age is 60 years (which can be extended to 65 years). However, flight crew members are allowed to con- tinue to work until 68 years based on Japanese government regulations. The qualification of flight crew members can be confirmed by a health check and skills assessment. We have seen flight crew members over 65 years who have left to work at other airlines. 2. Measures to Address Alcohol Use by Flight Crew ANA has experienced a series of problems involving alcohol use by flight crew. Why couldn’t the Company prevent these issues? What do you think about measures to eliminate alcohol-related issues? Q We must improve communications between captains and first officers. We must strive to improve human relations and a sense of belonging to ANA. The captain concentrates on safety during a flight. The captain does not have much time to provide detailed instructions or discuss their experiences with the first offi- cer. The response to alcohol issues is becoming stricter. Senior members have passed on their experience and skills to junior members in their spare time after flight ser- vice. However, such a culture is on the decline recently. The younger generation does not seem to like close human relations. However, we are proud that we have grown together, exchanging frank opinions with each other, regardless of the relationship between senior and junior ranks. A lack of dialogue with others will result in less rejec- tion and possibly greater personal comfort. However, it is also true that receiving honest feedback can lead to personal growth. We expect management to take the lead in systematically reducing the sense of isolation and communication gaps. Do you think irregular work patterns and different crew composition for every flight might hamper organizational functionality? Could it be that an organizational structure that leaves each person their own decisions has something to do with alcohol issues? Q The FOC maintains an atmo- sphere in which everyone can express their opinions freely. Given the nature of the work, not everyone receives instructions from their superiors every day. Each person is responsible for their own duties on each flight. An organi- zation that supports this culture should not be afraid to encourage frank discussions with superiors or senior officers. We must strengthen personal communications. We send information regarding alcohol issues via email quite frequently. We also conducted at least one interview with every pilot, performed by a superior. However, this approach has not been completely sufficient, and we believe we must engage in deeper communications. Given the nature of our work, providing certain discretion to each individual serves to benefit organizational operations. We admit that we had issues in managing such an extremely limited number of individuals effectively. We must consider an organizational approach that addresses the issue fully. Outside Director Comments We were glad to hear the opinions of captains and other flight crew members with whom we do not have direct contact. Hopefully, these kinds of opportunities will be provided again in the future. Organization A captain is independent and has the ultimate authority on a flight. He or she is not so much a member of an organization per se. Communications A captain works in a lonely environment. From an organizational operations perspective, it is important that captains create opportunities to talk with junior officers and establish an environment to provide sufficient guidance. Skills We must create a system to enhance communication. This includes an environment that encourages the improvement of skills among flight crew members. Retirement Age Flight crew members are allowed to work until 68 years of age, as long as they have the and ability. ANA should take a close look at extending retirement age. Board Meeting Comments Captains serving as managers have opportunities to communicate with ANA management. However, other captains do not have sufficient opportunities. We recognize that we have various issues to over- come in the consistent training of flight crew members. Future Direction We have received opinions from our outside directors based on their broad perspectives. Meanwhile, town meetings have provided outside directors with a detailed understanding of Group businesses, which has further reenergized our board meetings. We will continue to provide opportunities for town meetings with frontline employees across a broader range of our businesses. 88 Town Meeting (November 2019) 89 Business Foundations Supporting Corporate Value Director and Audit & Supervisory Board Member Remuneration 1.

The amount of payment is determined through a combination of payment levels, determined by the Remuneration account reports by the Remuneration Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee and the board of directors, and the total amount of director remuneration shall be within the scope of the amount approved at the Ordinary General Meeting of respective indicators.

In addition, we have developed groupwide frameworks to minimize the impact of risks and prevent reoccurrence in case risks materialize. Risk Management Promotion System The ANA Group Total Risk Management Regulations provides the basic terms of the Group’s risk management system. Under these regulations, the Group ESG Management Promotion Committee develops and implements basic policies. These policies are executed in line with the basic policies determined by the board of directors. Each Group company / department has established a risk manage- ment system. Here, the ESG Promotion Officer and the ESG Promotion Leader are responsible for promoting and leading risk manage- ment operations, respectively. The ESG Promotion Leader assumes a role to conduct risk management operations according to plans and take swift action while working with the secretariat in the event of a crisis. Risk Management Principles Risk Prevention Each Group company implements independent risk manage- Crisis Management in Response to a Risk We collect accurate information and implement measures to ment activities (identifying risks, analyzing and evaluating minimize damage and prevent reoccurrence by investigating these risks, planning and implementing countermeasures, and identifying the causes of crises. and monitoring the results).

The Company implements measures to address issues faced by the Group, and the Group ESG Management Promotion Committee monitors progress. Major Initiatives Business Continuity Plan (BCP) Our BCP details policies and procedures for responding to Union in 2018, and the China Cybersecurity Law (CCSL) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), established in 2020. large-scale disasters to ensure the safety of customers and all We require every employee to receive e-learning training on ANA Group directors and employees, minimize the impact on the importance of information assets and proper handling, etc. management and on society as a whole, and resume normal In so doing we ensure compliance with these laws, regulations, business operations as quickly as possible. Information Security The ANA Group updates the Group’s information security regulations and implements the information security manage- ment system. Through this system, we strive every day to and rules for using our information systems. In this way and others, we strive to raise employee awareness of the signifi- cance of information security in the workplace.

We implement security measures at entrance and exit control, and we have adopted antivirus measures in accordance with the guidelines formulated by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). We monitor our security system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The ANA Group trains security personnel, and we have established the Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) to ensure swift action in response to any incidents. Cybersecurity intelligence is most effective when providing early alerts to counter cyberattacks. Therefore, we participate in information sharing organizations, such as the Aviation Information Sharing and Analysis Center (A-ISAC), which consists of airline, aircraft manufacturer, and other members. We also participate in the Surface Transportation Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ST-ISAC). In these ways, we acquire information from internal and external industry sources as early as possible for use in taking preventive measures. The Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) published the Cyber Risk Handbook for Directors in autumn 2019. We develop measures assuming that incidents are inevitable. Since the utilization of digital technology is an important means for corporate growth, we understand that we must take a balanced approach. The ANA Group sees cybersecurity as a risk management issue to be addressed by the entire group, including our board of directors. Responses to Typhoons and Their Aftermath Natural disasters such as large typhoons and torrential rains have occurred frequently over the past few years. As a public transporta- tion provider, we see a growing importance to make preparations and conduct drills related to these disasters on a regular basis. Typhoon No. 21(Jebi) touched down in September 2018 and caused flights to be suspended for an extended period of time at the Kansai International Airport. We conducted a review in fiscal 2019 of our disaster responses at the time, including a second look at practice drills. As a result, we enhanced the disaster response capacity of the front lines of our business. We also reviewed our facilities at airports across Japan, developing facility enhancement plans to prepare for flooding and power outages. ANA actively participates in the development of guidelines for Advanced Airport-Business Continuity Plan (A2-BCP) led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT). These guidelines address building airports resistant to natural disasters and participation is part of our efforts to strengthen cooperation with airport administrators and other stakeholders. The ANA Group strives to update our BCP measures in the event of a crisis, and we continue to improve our capacity to respond on the front lines of our business and to train our people. Drill at the Kansai International Airport Responses to COVID-19 (Employee Infection Prevention Measures) The ANA Group created a response system based on the Crisis Management Manual and Emergency Response Manual in late January 2020, when the COVID-19 infection spread in Wuhan, China, and the authorities suspended public transportation services. We have endeavored to prevent the spread of infection. For example, when a physician identifies an employee who is suspected of infection, we notify the relevant employee and employees who are likely to have been in contact, directing them to stay home and wait for instructions from the public health center. In addition, we implemented the following measures to prevent infection among our employees. • Implement consistent infection prevention measures, such as hand washing • Instruct employees to wear masks and gloves according to the degree of infection spread • Check employee health on a consistent basis • Communicate information and distribute materials based on the latest knowledge • Ensure employees are aware of government declaration of emergency policies (we imposed some policies that are stricter than those of the government) Based on the experience acquired through measures to prevent the spread of the infection since January, we will implement the following measures. • Strive to acquire the latest information and share with employees • Implement new business and work styles based on the new normal published by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the guidelines of the Keidanren and the Scheduled Airlines Association of JAPAN, understanding that infections spread in waves 93 Business Foundations Supporting Corporate Value Compliance Preserve Corporate Value by Enhancing Internal Systems and Further Entrench Mission Statement The ANA Group is taking steps to minimize exposure to legal risks and prevent incidents that could diminish corporate value. Compliance Implementation System The ANA Group has developed a compliance system based on the ANA Group Compliance Regulations to promote compliance with laws, regulations, and other standards related to business activities. Under the direction of the Group ESG Management Promotion Committee, which is an advisory body to the board of directors, each company and department appoints an ESG Promotion Officer that is responsible for promotion and an ESG Promotion Leader as a key driver of ESG initiatives. These officers and leaders strive to raise awareness of compliance across the ANA Group. Internal Reporting System Based on the ANA Group Rules for Handling Internal Reporting, we have set up a point of contact (ANA Alert) both inside and outside the Company (via a law firm) to collect and resolve any issues. These reporting systems are available to all Group executives, employees, and temporary personnel involved in operations. ANA Group retirees and officers and employees of our business partners may also use these reporting systems. We protect the privacy of the whistleblower and other relevant parties, and assures that no punitive measures will be taken against those that seek consultation or cooperate in confirming facts. This helps us obtain internal risk-related information promptly and aids in self-resolution. We are also engaged in initiatives overseas to improve awareness of our internal reporting system and focus on minimizing legal risks on a global level. Major Initiatives Legal Compliance Education We conduct a variety of educational programs for every Group executive and employee to acquire correct knowledge of and exercise appropriate judgment related to various laws and regulations. We hold regular seminars on contract practices, labor practices, and laws and regulations related to air trans- portation, improving our familiarity with business-essential knowledge. The Company also seeks to foster a mindset focused on legal compliance among Group executives and employees working overseas. To this end, we hold seminars on competition and anti-bribery laws at overseas branches. We also sponsor seminars tailored to topics and content that reflect the needs of each Group company and / or department. Information Dissemination To spread awareness of compliance throughout the ANA Group, we distribute e-mail and other newsletters on topics related to revisions to laws and regulations, as well as points of caution regarding labor and contract practices. We have also posted manuals and guidelines for various laws, regulations, and rules on the compliance website on our intranet. In this way and others, we create an environment in which Group executives and employees have access to this information at any time. Initiatives to Prevent Harassment We are working now, more than ever, to strengthen initiatives for workplaces free from harassment. Specifically, we estab- lished the new Rules on Harassment Prevention and conduct e-learning harassment education for all Group executives and employees. In this way, we are striving to create workplace environments across the entire ANA Group in which people can work without hindrance and that never tolerate harassment. Seminar conducted during fiscal 2019 Newsletter Harassment Education Materials Information Poster for the Internal Reporting System Group Companies Compliance Survey Surveys on compliance at Group companies are conducted once each year.

ANA Group Tax Policy In February 2020, we formulated the ANA Group Tax Policy to strengthen corporate tax governance and respond to growing global interest in taxes. The core principles of this policy state that the ANA Group considers the proper reporting and fulfillment of tax obligations related to our business activities is a social responsibility. Reporting and paying tax obligations enables the Group to preserve our corporate value and contribute to the development of communities in each relevant country. By implementing tax governance that is groupwide and cross-functional, we comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and other rules, clearly indicating the ideal state whereby we report and fulfill tax obligations in an appropriate manner. We present courses of action for employees related to (1) compliance with laws and regulations, (2) fair business practices, (3) talent develop- ment, (4) tax management, (5) utilization of external knowledge, and (6) relationship with relevant tax authorities. We strive to raise awareness among Group employees on an ongoing basis through internal training and other methods. By sharing this policy with each of our stakeholders and ensuring that Group employees are in compliance, we aim to reduce tax risk and report and fulfill tax obligations in an appropriate manner. Six Courses of Action for Our Tax Policy 1 2 3 4 5 6 Compliance with Laws and Regulations Fair Business Practices Talent Development Tax Management Utilization of External Knowledge Relationship with Relevant Tax Authorities Details are available on our corporate website. https://www.ana.co.jp/group/en/csr/basic_ approach/tax-policy/ 94 95 Business Foundations Supporting Corporate Value Responsible Dialogue with Stakeholders The ANA Group conducts business activities through our relationships with stakeholders. We engage in ongoing dialogue with stakeholders to build trust and offer peace of mind. As we do so, we increase the effectiveness of our strategies by incorporating the opinions and requests of stakeholders into our businesses.

A total of 62 companies are treated as consolidated subsidiaries, with another 16 treated as equity-method subsidiaries and affiliates. The Group had 45,849 employees, up 2,383 employees year on year. During fiscal 2019, we executed various measures set forth in the FY2018–22 ANA Group Corporate Strategy (published February 1, 2018). We made progress in human resources and capital expendi- tures in advance of the 2020 slot expansions at the Tokyo metropoli- tan area airports, while also pursuing safety, quality and services. However, in the fourth quarter, impact from the spread of COVID-19 led to a sharp decline in demand for air transport. Consolidated Operating Revenues, Operating Expenses, and Operating Income Fiscal 2019 consolidated operating revenues amounted to ¥1,974.2 billion, a ¥84.0 billion (4.1%) decrease year on year. This decrease was mainly due to reduced revenues in our mainstay Air Transportation Business. Although we reduced costs by controlling the volume of opera- tions in response to the sharp decline in passenger demand, operat- ing income amounted to ¥60.8 billion, a ¥104.2 billion (63.2%) decrease year on year due to a significant decrease in operating revenues.

Toward the end of the fiscal year, however, the economy deteriorated rapidly due to the effects of COVID-19, leading to an extremely severe situation. Looking ahead, we must pay close attention to risks that could degrade the global economy further as a result of the spread of the virus. Potential effects include worsening employment and personal income environments due to falling corporate profits, slowing con- sumer spending, and more. Fuel Price Trends The average price for Dubai crude oil was $60.5 per barrel during fiscal 2019. During the first half of the year, Dubai crude ranged around $60 per barrel as OPEC, Russia, and other major non-OPEC oil-producing countries deferred production increases. However, toward the end of the fiscal year, fears of global recession due to impact of the spread of COVID-19 led to a sudden decline in market conditions. As a result, the price of Dubai crude oil ended at $33.7 per barrel on March 31, 2020. The market price of Singapore kerosene tracked the price of crude oil. The average price for the fiscal year was $72.4 per barrel, ending at $31.1 per barrel on March 31, 2020. Foreign Exchange Market The Japanese yen averaged ¥108.7 to the U.S. dollar for fiscal 2019, ending the year at ¥108.8 per U.S. dollar. The value of the yen rose during the first half of the year due to concerns about the impact of intensifying trade frictions on the world economy. Toward the end of the fiscal year, risk aversion grew with the spread of the virus, and the value of the yen continued to appreciate. Air Transport Traffic Trends International Air Transport Association (IATA) member airlines reported 1,890 million passengers on scheduled international flights in 2019 (4.4% increase year on year). Passengers on scheduled domestic flights numbered 2,650 million (3.4% increase). At the same time, scheduled global air cargo volume decreased 2.4%. (Source: IATA World Air Transport Statistics, 2020) In Japan, passengers on trunk routes* decreased 2.2% to 42.49 million for fiscal 2019. The number of passengers on local routes* decreased 1.8% to 59.38 million. In total, Japanese air transport passengers numbered 101.87 million, a decrease of 2.0%. Domestic cargo volume decreased 5.6% to 0.77 million tons. The number of passengers carried by Japanese airlines on international services decreased 8.4% to 21.43 million, while the volume of international cargo handled by Japanese airlines increased 0.9% to 1.45 million tons. (Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Statistical Report on Air Transport) * Trunk routes refer to routes connecting Sapporo (New Chitose), Tokyo (Haneda), Tokyo (Narita), Osaka (Itami), Kansai, Fukuoka, and Okinawa (Naha) airports with one another.

Operating revenues through the third quarter trended firmly up owing to factors such as strong domestic passenger demand and expan- sion of international route networks, despite sluggish demand for international cargo business due to a cooling of the world economy caused by U.S.–China trade frictions. In the fourth quarter, demand for domestic and overseas travel declined sharply due to immigration restrictions in various countries around the world due to the spread of COVID-19, as well as voluntary limits on non-essential travel domesti- cally. Operating income amounted to ¥49.5 billion, a year-on-year ANA International Passenger Business A total of 9.41 million passengers used the ANA network in fiscal 2019 (6.7% decrease), while unit price rose 1.0% to ¥65,196. Operating revenues fell 5.8% year on year to ¥613.9 billion. We recorded a 4.4% increase in available seat-kilometers (ASK) and saw a 1.1% decrease in revenue passenger-kilometers (RPK). Load factor decreased 4.1 points to 72.9%. Although we captured demand by opening new routes and deploying ultra-wide body aircraft on Hawaii routes, the decline in demand due to COVID-19 that became apparent on China routes from the end of January spread to routes servicing Asia, North America, Europe, and Hawaii. As a result, both revenues and passen- ger numbers decreased to levels underperforming previous fiscal year. ANA actively promoted services to new cities in our route network, launching the Narita–Perth route (western Australia) in September, the Narita–Chennai route (southern India) in October, and the Narita–Vladivostok route (eastern Russia) in March 2020. In May, ANA introduced the Airbus A380 FLYING HONU, the world’s largest passenger aircraft, on the Narita–Honolulu route. However, we decrease of ¥111.0 billion (69.1%). This result was due to an increase in aircraft expenses, maintenance expenses, and other costs due to further improvements in safety, quality, and services and measures preparing for slot expansions at the Tokyo metropolitan area airports. On the other hand, performance was impacted negatively by flight cancellations and reductions on both international and domestic routes, despite controlled fuel expenses, landing and navigation fees, and other costs in response to decreasing demand for air travel. Results by business were as follows. suspended and reduced flights along 71 routes, affecting 2,814 flights by the end of March 2020 in response to the decrease in demand caused by the impact of COVID-19. For the first time in 10 years, ANA unveiled new seats for First Class and Business Class on Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. We intro- duced the upgraded aircraft on the Haneda–London route in August, the Haneda–New York and Narita–New York routes in November, and the Haneda–Frankfurt route in February 2020. We introduced our first private wide-seat with a closable door, called THE Room, in Business Class. These new seats offer the world’s first personal 4K-compatible monitor and other amenities, achieving the highest levels of passen- ger comfort. At the end of January, we signed a joint venture framework agreement with Singapore Airlines with the aim of strengthening our network and increasing our presence in the rapidly growing Asia / Oceania region. Going forward, we will deepen our partnership relations and work to improve competitiveness and customer conve- nience in the Asia / Oceania region.

We also offered various discount fares according to demand. These measures led to a positive trend through the third quarter; however, demand declined sharply due to impact of COVID-19 beginning at the end of February. As a result, revenues and passenger numbers decreased year on year. ASK grew 0.1% year on year, while RPK fell 3.0%. Load factor was 67.5%, a decrease of 2.1 points. Passenger numbers declined 3.2% to 42.91 million and unit price rose 0.8% to ¥15,844. Operating revenues were down 2.4% to ¥679.9 billion. ANA increased flights in our route network, introducing the Narita– Chubu route in May and the Chubu–Kumamoto route in October. ANA sought to improve efficiency further by optimizing the number of route flights and adjusting aircraft types flexibly based on demand predic- tions.

In total, 2,674 flights across 42 routes were suspended or reduced. We have offered discount fares that can be purchased as early as 355 days before boarding, aiming to capture demand at an early stage for periods such as the Golden Week holidays and summer vacations. In November, we introduced new seats on Boeing 777-200 aircraft, offering improved comfort and functionality with power reclining in Premium Class. We also introduced seats equipped with touch panel personal monitors in Economy Class. In addition, we renovated the ANA LOUNGE at Naha Airport in September under the supervision of Kengo Kuma, one of Japan’s leading architects. In November at Naha, we also altered the layout of the departure counter, and implemented the ANA Baggage Drop automated baggage drop machine, making it the fourth airport in Japan to be so equipped. These and other efforts were made to further improve service quality.

The International Cargo Business recorded operating revenues of ¥102.6 billion, down 17.9% compared to the previous fiscal year. Cargo volume decreased 5.2% to 860,000 tons. This was the result of consistently low cargo demand for to and from Japan stemming from the global economic slowdown caused by U.S.–China trade frictions. The significant reduction of flights due to the spread of COVID-19 in February and thereafter also had a negative effect on performance. Available ton-kilometers (ATK) rose 3.2% while revenue ton-kilometers (RTK) decreased 2.2%. We introduced the Boeing 777F wide-body cargo freighter to our route network on the Narita–Shanghai (Pudong) route in July and on the Narita–Chicago route in October. We also captured demand for oversize special cargo, such as semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which enjoys steady demand. Our efforts in the fourth quarter to respond to emergency supply transportation due to the outbreak of COVID-19 also made a positive contribution. Domestic Cargo Business operating revenues decreased 7.0% to ¥25.5 billion, reflecting a 5.2% decline in cargo volume to 370,000 tons. While we endeavored to grow revenues through non-scheduled extra cargo flights on the Okinawa–Haneda route during peak demand for flowers, air cargo demand overall was weak throughout the year. At the same time, the spread of COVID-19 caused flight suspensions and reductions. International Mail Business operating revenues decreased 6.6% to ¥4.7 billion, while Domestic Mail Business operating revenues were 2.9% lower at ¥3.1 billion.

This result was mainly due to a 10.6% decrease in passenger numbers to 7.28 million and a 2.1% decrease in unit price to ¥11,244. ASK and RPK declined 8.1% and 11.5%, respectively. Load factor was 83.1%, which was a decrease of 3.2 points compared to the previous fiscal year. Performance was inhibited by the impact of geopolitical risks in Hong Kong and South Korea, as well as a significant decline in demand due to the spread of COVID-19 toward the end of the fiscal year. Operations of Vanilla Air were terminated in October of this fiscal year, and we successfully completed the merger with Peach Aviation. In the route network, in addition to transferring 10 routes to Peach Aviation, we launched the Narita-Kagoshima and Narita-Nagasaki routes in March 2020. However, due to impact from the spread of COVID-19, we suspended and reduced flights on 23 routes begin- ning in February, which affected a total of 2,088 international and domestic flights.

This expense accounted for 18.6% of Air Transportation Business operating expenses, com- pared with 20.2% in the previous fiscal year. This ¥19.2 billion decrease was mainly due to decreases in ANA price factors (includ- ing hedging effectiveness) of approximately ¥19.0 billion, an increase in ANA consumption volume factors of approximately ¥3 billion, and a decrease in LCC Business of approximately ¥3 billion. Fuel consumption volume increased due to the expansion of capacity in international services. The ANA Group is working to control fuel consumption volume by introducing fuel-efficient aircraft and other measures, including the adoption of efficient flight opera- tions. During fiscal 2019, we engaged in the same measures of fuel tax reduction as we followed in the previous fiscal year. Landing and navigation fees amounted to ¥120.1 billion, down ¥1.4 billion (1.2%) year on year. Passenger aircraft flights (excluding Peach Aviation and Vanilla Air flights) on ANA domestic operations increased 0.7%, while ANA international flights decreased 1.7% and freighter flights decreased 13.3%. These results were partly due to impact from suspended and reduced flights as a result of the spread of COVID-19. Aircraft leasing fees increased ¥7.1 billion (5.8%) year on year to ¥130.6 billion due to factors such as greater use of airline charters in the International Cargo Business. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased ¥15.3 billion (10.0%) to ¥168.2 billion. This increase was mainly due to introducing Boeing 777F and Airbus A380 aircraft in service during this fiscal year as we continue to update the ANA-owned fleet. Aircraft maintenance expenses increased ¥20.2 billion (12.9%) year on year to ¥177.3 billion. This increase was due to several factors, including increased maintenance frequency caused by Rolls-Royce engine inspection and maintenance. Personnel expenses decreased ¥6.1 billion (3.0%) year on year to ¥201.6 billion. This decrease reflected the impact of decreases in performance-linked lump-sum payments. Sales commissions and promotion expenses decreased ¥2.6 billion (2.4%) year on year to ¥105.1 billion. This decrease was mainly due to the decrease in passenger demand as a result of the spread of COVID-19. Contract expenses increased ¥16.9 billion (7.1%) year on year to ¥256.6 billion. This increase was mainly due to increases in out- sourced operations associated with advance preparations for slot expansions at Tokyo metropolitan area airports in 2020. Other expenses increased ¥3.9 billion (1.9%) year on year to ¥213.8 billion. This result was mainly due to increased expenses related to in-flight services. 104 105 Financial / Data Section Management’s Discussion and Analysis Airline Related Business Fiscal 2019 segment operating revenues increased ¥8.3 billion (2.9%) year on year to ¥299.4 billion. Operating income increased ¥4.9 billion (37.7%) to ¥18.1 billion. These increases were mainly due to increased contracts for airport ground support work (check-in procedures, baggage handling, etc.) at Kansai International Airport and Chubu International Airport. We also added MRO Japan Co., Ltd. as a newly consolidated subsidiary this year. MRO Japan has launched full-scale business development in Okinawa. Trade and Retail Fiscal 2019 operating revenues in our Trade and Retail business decreased ¥5.9 billion (3.9%) year on year to ¥144.7 billion. Operating income decreased ¥0.7 billion (21.5%) to ¥2.9 billion. Transaction volume for aircraft parts and other items rose, while sales decreased for nuts and other items in our food business. Retail business transaction volume decreased year on year at our airport ANA DUTY FREE SHOP retail locations and ANA FESTA airport shops, which also contributed to lower performance.

Operating income increased ¥0.7 billion (129.9%) to ¥1.3 billion. Performance trended upward through the third quarter due to success in attracting custom- ers for products sold on the internet (both for domestic and overseas travel). We were also successful in capturing demand for travel during the ten-day Golden Week holidays. However, the impact of COVID-19 beginning at the end of January resulted in operating revenues that underperformed the previous fiscal year. Meanwhile, operating income rose year on year, mainly due to a decrease in system expenses. Performance in the Travel Services Segment Others Fiscal 2019 operating revenues in the Others segment increased ¥3.2 billion (8.0%) year on year to ¥44.2 billion. Meanwhile, operating income increased ¥1.2 billion (55.0%) to ¥3.5 billion. Subleasing transaction volume grew and we sold properties in our real estate- related business, while construction and facility management-related business revenues stemming from facility renovations at Haneda Airport terminals and construction-related revenues grew.

After income taxes, municipal taxes, business taxes, and other adjust- ments, net income attributable to owners of the parent decreased ¥83.1 billion (75.0%) to ¥27.6 billion. Earnings per share were ¥82.66 compared with ¥331.04 for the previous fiscal year. Comprehensive income decreased ¥156.3 billion to a loss of ¥14.7 billion, mainly due to the decrease in net income attributable to owners of the parent. Cash Flows Fundamental Approach The ANA Group’s fundamental approach to cash management is to conduct continuous investments strategically to strengthen competi- tiveness over the medium and long term, while maintaining financial soundness. Capital expenditures are ordinarily kept within the scope of cash flows from operating activities, including repayment of lease obliga- tions, to generate free cash flow, which enables us to maintain a balance between total interest-bearing debt and shareholders’ equity. The Group’s primary means of raising funds are borrowings from banks and bond issuances. The Group has also concluded commit- ment lines totaling ¥153.6 billion (as of March 31, 2020) with major domestic financial institutions to ensure reliable access to working capital in case of emergency. Commitment lines were unused as of the end of fiscal 2019. The Group has access to the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC)’s guarantee system for investments in aircraft, our primary assets. Overview of Fiscal 2019 Free cash flow resulted in expenditures of ¥100.0 billion (sum of cash flows from operating activities and investing activities). Net cash provided by financing activities totaled ¥23.8 billion. As a result, cash and cash equivalents decreased ¥75.9 billion from the beginning of the fiscal year, amounting to ¥135.9 billion at the end of the fiscal year. Cash Flows from Operating Activities After adjusting the ¥51.5 billion in income before income taxes for depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items, net cash provided by operating activities amounted to ¥130.1 billion, ¥165.9 billion lower year on year. Interest Coverage Ratio* (Fiscal Year) Interest coverage ratio (Times) 2019 2018 20.4 41.3 * Interest coverage ratio = Cash flows from operating activities / Interest expenses 106 107 Financial / Data Section Management’s Discussion and Analysis Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities totaled ¥230.2 billion, ¥78.4 billion lower year on year. This result was mainly due to payments for purchases of property and equipment related to payments upon delivery of aircraft, purchases of spare parts, and advance payments for aircraft to be put into service in the future. Payments were also made for intangible assets, including investments in software. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to ¥209.3 billion when excluding cash movements that resulted in net outlays of ¥20.9 billion related to the acquisition and sale of time deposits and negotiable deposits of more than three months. Free Cash Flow As mentioned above, net cash provided by operating activities totaled ¥130.1 billion. Since net cash used in investing activities was ¥230.2 billion, free cash flow for fiscal 2019 amounted to a net expenditure of ¥100.0 billion, an increase of ¥87.5 billion compared to the previous fiscal year. Substantial free cash flow decreased ¥61.1 billion year on year to an outlay of ¥79.1 billion when excluding cash movements associated with the acquisition and sale of time deposits and negotiable deposits of more than three months. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities totaled ¥23.8 billion, up ¥70.3 billion year on year. This result was mainly due to dividend payments and loan repayments, offset in part by proceeds from issuance of bonds, etc. Capital Expenditures and Aircraft Procurement Capital Expenditures ANA Group capital expenditures are based on an approach of selection and concentration. We invest to strengthen safety, increase our competitiveness, and improve profitability. These expenditures primarily reflect aircraft-related investments, including the acquisition of aircraft, spare parts, and prepayment for aircraft, as well as information systems expenditures. As a result, capital expenditures for fiscal 2019 amounted to ¥351.3 billion, a decrease of 6.5% compared to the previous fiscal year. By segment, Air Transportation Business capital expenditures decreased 7.4% year on year to ¥343.4 billion. Airline Related expen- ditures increased 237.3% to ¥6.2 billion, while Travel Services expen- ditures increased 7.1% to ¥0.2 billion. Trade and Retail capital expenditures increased 94.6% to ¥2.2 billion, and Others decreased 47.6% to ¥0.1 billion.

Fundamental Approach to Aircraft Procurement Aircraft are major investments used over the long term (10-plus years). Decisions regarding the selection of aircraft types suited to routes and networks and the pursuit of the best fleet composition are among the most important issues for airline management. The ANA Group fleet strategy is based on three basic policies: (1) Strengthening cost competitiveness by introducing fuel-efficient aircraft; (2) Optimizing supply to demand by increasing the ratios of narrow- and medium-body aircraft; and (3) Enhancing productivity by integrating aircraft types. Fundamentally, the Group purchases and owns strategic aircraft we intend to use over the medium to long term. We employ operating leases to procure aircraft for use over the short term or for capacity adjustment. The Group may also utilize sale-leaseback transactions as a means to diversify corporate financing methods. In these and other ways, the Group selects the most economical aircraft procure- ment method. Aircraft Procured in Fiscal 2019 Based on our fleet strategy mentioned above, aircraft totaled 307 as of the end of fiscal 2019, an increase of 3 compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. During the fiscal year, the ANA Group added 21 new aircraft. These additional aircraft consisted of one Airbus A380, six Boeing 777-300s, two Boeing 777Fs, one Boeing 787-10, five Boeing 787-9s, two Airbus A320neos, and four Airbus A320-200s. Meanwhile, the Group sold or returned leased aircraft, consisting of five Boeing 767-300s, two Boeing 767-300Fs, seven Airbus A320-200s, and four Boeing 737-500s (18 aircraft total). The table below shows changes in the number of aircraft.

Separate from the figures above, as of March 31, 2020, 19 aircraft were leased outside the Group (19 as of March 31, 2019). Aircraft Procurement Plan for Fiscal 2020 The ANA Group plans to add a total of 13 aircraft during fiscal 2020. Our plans call for purchasing one Airbus A380, five Boeing 787-9s, and seven Airbus A321neos. Meanwhile, the Group plans to retire nine aircraft, consisting of one Boeing 777-200, one Boeing 767-300, one Boeing 767-300F, three Boeing 737-700s, and three Boeing 737-500s. 108 109 Financial / Data Section Management’s Discussion and Analysis Financial Position Assets Total assets as of March 31, 2020 amounted to ¥2,560.1 billion, a decrease of ¥126.9 billion compared to March 31, 2019. Total current assets amounted to ¥571.1 billion as of March 31, 2020, a decrease of ¥129.0 billion from one year earlier. Cash and deposits amounted to ¥109.4 billion, an increase of ¥41.1 billion compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. Marketable securities decreased ¥96.1 billion to ¥129.2 billion. As a result, liquidity on hand amounted to ¥238.6 billion, down ¥55.0 billion year on year. Total non-current assets at the end of the fiscal year stood at ¥1,988.1 billion, up ¥1.7 billion from one year earlier. This increase was mainly due to an increase in aircraft and buildings and struc- tures, despite a decrease in intangible assets as a result of recording an impairment loss related to goodwill. Liabilities Total liabilities as of March 31, 2020 amounted to ¥1,491.2 billion, a decrease of ¥86.5 billion compared to the end of the previous fiscal year. Current liabilities totaled ¥530.5 billion at the end of the fiscal year, a decrease of ¥155.3 billion. This result was primarily due to a decrease in advance ticket sales. Long-term liabilities amounted to ¥960.7 billion as of March 31, 2020, an increase of ¥68.8 billion compared to the end of the previ- ous fiscal year. Interest-bearing debt, including finance lease obligations, increased ¥54.2 billion year on year to ¥842.8 billion. This change was the result of the issuance of ¥70.0 billion in bonds and borrow- ings that exceeded amounts in the previous fiscal year. These increases were offset in part by loan repayments. Debt/equity ratio amounted to 0.8 times, an increase of 0.1 point compared with the end of the previous fiscal year.

As a result of recording net income attributable to owners of the parents, shareholders’ equity amounted to ¥1,068.6 billion, ¥2.0 billion higher year on year. Total accumulated other comprehensive loss amounted to ¥7.6 billion, a decrease of ¥40.4 billion compared with the end of the previous fiscal year. This result was mainly due to decreases in unrealized gains on securities and deferred loss on derivatives under hedge accounting. As a result, total shareholders’ equity decreased ¥38.3 billion compared with the previous fiscal year-end, standing at ¥1,061.0 billion. Shareholders’ equity ratio increased 0.5 point to 41.4%.

Bond ratings as of March 31, 2020 were as follows: Bond Ratings Issuer rating Outlook JCR A Stable R&I A– Stable (¥ Millions) Retirement Benefit Obligations Allocation of Profits Basic Policy on Allocation of Profits Shareholder returns are an important management priority for the Group. The Group strives to bolster shareholder returns while maintaining financial soundness. This goal will be accomplished as we secure the funds needed to conduct growth investments (aircraft, etc.) to support future business development. We examine the possibility of further shareholder returns through dividend increases and share buybacks on an ongoing basis, while considering the appropriate level for free cash flow. Dividends for Fiscal 2019 The impact of COVID-19 on Group performance has been significant. At present, we cannot forecast when the pandemic will slow. Given such unprecedented and severe economic conditions, securing liquidity on hand has become an urgent issue. Therefore, we deeply regret to announce that we will not be providing dividends for this fiscal year. The ANA Group’s defined benefit plans consist of defined benefit corporate pension plans and lump-sum retirement benefit plans. In addition, the Group has adopted a defined contribution pension plan. Certain employees are entitled to additional benefits upon retirement. Certain consolidated subsidiaries adopting defined-benefit corporate pension plans and lump-sum retirement benefit plans use a simplified method for calculating retirement benefit expenses and liabilities.

The objective of this hedging is to both stabilize profitability and equalize expenses in response to rising fuel surcharges and foreign currency revenues associated with growth in ANA international business. The Group conducts fuel hedging (for ANA brands) three years in advance of the applicable period after considering fuel surcharge revenues. The Group hedges (for ANA HOLDINGS and ANA brands) U.S. dollar payments for fuel expenses three years in advance and U.S. dollar payments associated with capital expenditures for aircraft and other items five years in advance of the payment periods. Based on a balance of foreign currency revenues, revenues linked to foreign exchange market fluctuations, and foreign currency expenses with respect to U.S. dollar payments, the Group uses forward exchange agreements to hedge any portion of foreign currency expenses in excess of foreign currency revenues. 110 111 Financial / Data Section Operating Risks The following describes major risks related to business and accounting conditions, etc., recognized by management as having a potentially material impact on the consolidated Group financial condition, earnings, and cash flows. Further, the forward-looking statements that follow are based on Group judgments as of March 31, 2020.

(1) Important Factors The ANA Group has experienced a significant impact due to the spread of COVID-19. We expect that future business conditions will continue to be extremely challenging. Given these unprecedented circumstances, we have limited the scale of Air Transportation Business operations and reduced fuel expenses and other operations-related costs. We have reduced personnel expenses by cutting officer remuneration and manage- ment salaries, as well as by adopting a temporary leave program. In addition, the Group is reviewing and controlling capital expendi- ture in aircraft and other areas, while also revising the timing of investments. Over the three months between April and June of this year, we borrowed total of ¥535 billion from private financial institu- tions and the Development Bank of Japan. Further, we expanded our existing commitment line of ¥150 billion by another ¥350 billion. In the future, we will raise more funds as necessary to secure liquidity on hand for every Group company. Accordingly, it is our judgment that there are no material uncertainties regarding the going concern assumption for the ANA Group. (2) Risks Related to the International Situation The Group currently operates international routes, primarily to North America, Europe, China, and other parts of Asia. Going forward, incidents including political instability, international conflicts, large- scale terrorist attacks, or deterioration in diplomatic relations with countries where the Group operates and has offices and other bases could affect the Group’s performance due to the accompa- nying decrease in demand for travel on these international routes. (3) Risks Related to Statutory Regulations As an airline operator, the Group undertakes operations based on the stipulations of statutory regulations relating to airline operations. The Group is required to conduct passenger and cargo operations on international routes in accordance with the stipulations of international agreements, including treaties, bilateral agreements, and the decisions of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The Group’s fares, airspace, operating schedule, and safety manage- ment are subject to a variety of constraints due to these regulations. Further, the Group’s operations are constrained by the Japanese Antitrust Law and similar laws and regulations in other countries with regard to the pricing of fares and charges. (4) Risks Related to Environmental Regulations In recent years, numerous Japanese and overseas statutory environmental protection regulations have been introduced or strengthened with regard to such issues as noise, aircraft emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases, use of environmentally pollut- ing substances and their disposal, and energy use at major offices. The ANA Group incurs significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition to the emissions trading and reduction schemes to be adopted in 2021 related to controlling greenhouse gases generated by international aviation, if a globally shared environmental tax is adopted, business activities could be restricted or significant additional costs may be incurred. (5) Risks Related to the Business Environment of the Airline Industry There could be material changes in the current competitive and business environment within Japan, such as changes in aviation policy or regional policy, as well as changes in the standing of competitors due to mergers or capital tie-ups stemming from bankruptcies and other factors. These changes could affect the Group’s performance. 1. Risks Related to Airport Slots Differences in the number of slots allocated at congested Tokyo metropolitan area airports (Haneda, Narita) or the timing of alloca- tions from ANA Group projections could affect the achievement of the targets of the Group corporate strategy. 2. Risks Related to Public-Sector Fees Public-sector fees include jet fuel taxes, landing fees, and air navigation service charges. The Japanese government is currently implementing temporary measures to reduce jet fuel taxes and landing fees but could scale back or terminate these measures in the future, which could affect the Group’s performance. (6) Risk of Economic Recession The airline industry is susceptible to the effects of economic trends, and if the domestic or global economy is sluggish, this may cause a decline of demand for air travel due to deterioration in personal consumption and corporate earnings. International operations (passenger and cargo) depend on overseas markets, especially China, other parts of Asia, and North America, and economic conditions in these regions could lead to a decline in the passenger and cargo volume or a fall in the unit price. 112 113 Financial / Data Section Operating Risks (7) Risks Related to Crude Oil Price Fluctuations Jet fuel is a crude oil derivative and its price tracks the price of crude oil. Variance that exceeds the Group estimates for factors that affect the price of crude oil, including political instability in the oil-producing nations of the Middle East, the shale oil production structure in the U.S., increased demand for crude oil due to rapid economic growth in emerging countries, reductions in oil stockpiles or reserves, speculative investment in crude oil, and natural disasters can affect the Group’s performance as follows. 1. Risk of Increase in Crude Oil Prices Generally, an increase in the price of crude oil causes an increase in the price of jet fuel, which imposes substantial additional costs on the Group. Accordingly, to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in the price of jet fuel and to stabilize operating income, the Group hedges risks using crude oil and jet fuel commodity derivatives in planned, continuous hedging transactions for specific periods of time. In the event that crude oil prices rise over a short period, there are limitations to the Group’s ability to offset increases in crude oil prices through ongoing cost reductions as well as raising fares and charges. For these reasons, the Group may be unable to avoid the influence of a sharp increase in crude oil prices completely, depending on factors such as hedging positions. 2. Risk of Sudden Decrease in Crude Oil Prices The Group conducts hedge transactions against changes in the price of crude oil to mitigate risk. Therefore, a sudden decrease in oil prices may not directly contribute to earnings because, in addition to decreases in or expiration of fuel surcharges, hedge positions and other market conditions may preclude the immediate reflection of a sudden drop in fuel expenses in results. (8) Risks Related to Foreign Exchange Rate Fluctuations The Group’s expenditures in foreign currencies are greater than its revenues in foreign currencies. Therefore, depreciation of the yen affects the Group’s profits. Accordingly, to the greatest extent possible, foreign currency taken in as revenue is used to pay expenses denominated in the same foreign currency to minimize the impact on operating income from the risk of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. In addition, the Group uses forward exchange agreements and currency options for a portion of the foreign currency needed for purchases of aircraft and jet fuel to stabilize and limit payment amounts on a yen conversion basis. However, there are limits to the extent to which the Group can reduce and offset costs by adjusting fares and charges should costs increase due to the rapid depreciation of the yen in the foreign exchange market over a short period of time. Accordingly, such an occurrence could, depending on hedge positions and other factors, affect the Group’s profit and expenditures. Conversely, if the yen should appreciate rapidly in the foreign exchange market over a short period of time, depending upon hedge positions and other factors, this may preclude immediate reflection in lower fuel expenses and impact the Group’s ability to enjoy the benefits of the appreciation of the yen. (9) Risks Related to Competition The possibility of future increases in costs related to the Group’s operations due to such factors as jet fuel expenses, financing cost, and responses to environmental regulations cannot be ruled out. If such costs increase, in order to secure income, it will be neces- sary for the Group to cut costs through such means as reducing indirect fixed costs, and to pass on costs through higher fares and charges. However, because the Group is in competition with other airlines and LCCs in Japan and overseas as well as with alternative modes of transportation, such as the Shinkansen, on certain routes, passing on costs could diminish competitiveness. Further, price competition with competitors greatly restricts the passing on of costs that could affect the Group’s performance. (10) Risks Related to the Outbreak and Spread of New Infectious Diseases All Group businesses, including but not limited to international routes, are exposed to the risk of a decline in demand due to the outbreak and spread of new infectious diseases. The spread of disease and the harm it may cause, including reduced desire to travel by air among customers due to rumors, as well as restrictions on entry and exit from countries and voluntary restraints on movement within Japan, such as during the global spread of COVID-19, could affect Group’s performance by causing the number of passengers on the Group’s domestic and international routes to drop sharply. Further, more employees and contractors than expected could fall ill due to the spread of new and highly contagious infectious diseases, or due to increased virulence caused by changes in disease profile, which could affect the continuity of Group’s business. (11) Risks Related to Disasters The extended closure or operational restriction of airports or flight path restrictions due to disasters including an earthquake, a tsunami, a flood, a typhoon, heavy snow, a volcanic eruption, an infectious disease, a strike, or a riot could impact flight operations using affected airports and routes or result in significantly reduced demand for air transportation, which could affect the Group’s performance. In particular, the Group’s data center is located in the Tokyo metropolitan area, while the operational control for all of the Group’s domestic and international flights is conducted at Haneda Airport and most of the Group’s passengers use Tokyo metropolitan area airports. As a result, a major disaster, such as an earthquake or a typhoon; a disaster at the abovementioned facilities, such as a fire; or a strike that closes the airports or limits their access could lead to a long-term shutdown of the Group’s information systems, operational control functions, or its operations themselves that could significantly affect the Group’s performance. 3. Risks Related to Investments The Group may enter new businesses and invest in or acquire other companies to further expand its business in growth areas. These investments and other initiatives may not produce the intended effects. Moreover, if the interests of equity investors do not align, the joint venture may not operate in the manner the Group considers appropriate. If joint venture operations deteriorate, the Group may be exposed to an economic burden. In addition, equity investors other than the Group may experience poor financial results or withdraw from the business. The Group may also expand into foreign countries, and enter into businesses with remote relation to the airline business. These initiatives may incur unforeseen detriments. (13) Risks Related to Ineffective Strategic Alliances The Group belongs to the Star Alliance. Based on Antitrust Immunity (ATI) approval, joint venture operations are introduced in collabora- tion with United Airlines in the network between Asia and the United States, and with Lufthansa and Lufthansa group companies, Swiss International Air Lines, Austrian Airlines, and Lufthansa Cargo AG. in the network between Japan and Europe. The Group has also entered into individual agreements, mainly in Asia, that go beyond the frameworks of these alliances. However, the benefits of Star Alliance membership might diminish if the alliance is broken up by antitrust laws in various countries; an alliance partner withdraws from the Star Alliance or changes its business policies; another alliance group becomes more competitive; bilateral alliances between member companies end; an alliance partner performs poorly, restructures, or becomes less creditworthy; or restrictions on alliance activities are tightened due to external factors. Such eventualities could affect Group management. (12) Risks Related to the Group’s Management Strategy 1. Risks Related to the Group’s Fleet Strategy In the Air Transportation Business, the Group is pursuing a fleet strategy centered on introducing highly economical aircraft, inte- grating aircraft types, and better optimizing supply to demand. This strategy involves ordering aircraft from The Boeing Company, Airbus S.A.S., Bombardier Inc., and Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation. Delays in delivery from any of those four companies for financial or other reasons could create obstacles to Group operations. In addition, elements of the fleet strategy could prove ineffective or their expected benefits could diminish significantly due to the factors given below. 1) Dependence on The Boeing Company In accordance with the above fleet strategy, the Group has ordered a large number of aircraft from The Boeing Company (Boeing). Therefore, should financial or other issues render Boeing unable to fulfill its agreements with the Group or compa- nies such as those that maintain Boeing products, the Group would be unable to acquire or maintain aircraft in accordance with its fleet strategy. Such eventualities could affect the Group’s operations. 2) Delay of Aircraft Development Plans by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation The Group has decided to introduce the Mitsubishi Space Jet (formerly MRJ) that Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation is developing, with delivery scheduled after fiscal 2021. Further delivery delays could create obstacles to Group’s operations. 2. Risks to Business Structure Our Air Transportation Business and Airline Related Business account for the majority of consolidated operating revenues. In addition, the Air Transportation Business is closely interconnected with our Travel Services and Trade and Retail businesses. In this way, the ANA Group business structure is heavily dependent on the Air Transportation Business. It may not be possible for other operat- ing segments to compensate for an event that affects the overall Air Transportation Business revenues, which could have a significant impact on Group performance. 114 115 Financial / Data Section Operating Risks (14) Risks Related to Air Safety 1. Aircraft Accidents An aircraft accident involving a flight operated by the Group or a code-share partner could cause a drop in customer confidence and impair the Group’s public reputation, creating a medium- to long- term downturn in demand that could significantly affect the Group’s performance. Major accidents suffered by other airlines could similarly lead to a reduction in aviation demand that could affect the Group’s performance. An aircraft accident would give rise to significant expenses including compensation for damages and the repair or replacement of aircraft, but aviation insurance would not cover all such direct expenses. 2. Violations of the Civil Aeronautics Act, etc. ANA Group businesses are required to comply with the Civil Aeronautics Act and notifications from government agencies. Serious violations of the Civil Aeronautics Act could result in disad- vantageous treatment (administrative penalties, administrative guidance). In the past, the ANA Group has received a Business Improvement Order due to violations of warnings related to insuffi- cient maintenance and excessive consumption of alcohol among flight crew. In addition to the negative impact on confidence in ANA Group operational safety, this kind of disadvantageous treatment could lead to a suspension of operations or revocation of business licenses, depending on recurrence or the severity of the violation. Such disadvantageous treatment could have a serious impact on Group performance. 3. Technical Circular Directives If an issue arises that significantly compromises the safety of an aircraft, MLIT by law issues a technical circular directive. In some cases, all aircraft of the same model might be grounded until the measures to improve the airworthiness of the aircraft and equip- ment have been implemented as directed. Even when the law does not require a directive to be issued, in some cases when safety cannot be confirmed from a technical perspective, operation of the same model might be voluntarily suspended and inspections and other maintenance activities may be performed. The occurrence of such a situation could affect the Group’s safety credibility or performance. In particular, the Group is moving forward with fleet consolidation to new aircraft models, such as the Boeing 787. An unanticipated design defect or technical issue with these new models, which serve as mainstay aircraft, could have a serious impact on Group performance. (15) Risks Related to Unauthorized Disclosure of Customer Information and Other Data The Group holds a large amount of information relating to custom- ers, such as that pertaining to the approximately 36.65 million members (as of the end of March 2020) of the ANA Mileage Club. The Personal Information Protection Law of Japan and similar laws in countries overseas require proper management of such personal information. The Group has established a privacy policy, apprised customers of the Group’s stance regarding the handling of personal information, and established measures to counter any foreseeable contingency to ensure information security, including in its IT systems. In addition, work procedures and information systems are continuously monitored and revised to eliminate any potential security gaps. Despite these precautions, the occurrence of a major leak of personal information caused by unauthorized access, an error in conducting business, or some other factor could carry significant costs, in terms of both compensation and loss of public confidence, which could affect the Group’s performance. (16) Risks Related to IT Systems The Group is highly dependent on information systems for such critical functions as customer service and operational management. A major disruption of one of those systems or of telecommunica- tions networks caused by natural disasters, accidents, computer viruses or unauthorized access, power supply constraints, large- scale power outages, or system failures or malfunctions would make it difficult to maintain customer service and operations and would result in a loss of public confidence, which could affect the Group’s performance. Further, the Group’s information systems are also used by its partner airlines so there is a possibility that the impact of systems failure would not be limited to the Group. (17) Risks Related to Personnel and Labor Many Group employees belong to labor unions. Events including a collective strike by Group employees could have an effect on the Group’s aircraft operation. (18) Risk of Inability to Secure Required Personnel The growth of our LCC Business and other factors have increased demand for flight crews and other personnel. A certain period of time is required to cultivate and train flight crews and other personnel. Inability to secure the required number of competent flight crews and other personnel in a timely manner could affect the Group’s performance. In addition, a change of the supply–demand balance, in labor markets could lead to personnel shortages in airport handling and other operations, as well as a sharp increase in wage levels. (19) Risks Related to Profit Structure Expenses that are largely unaffected by passenger load factors, including fixed costs such as aircraft expenses, along with fuel expenses and landing and navigation fees which are largely deter- mined by the type of aircraft, account for a significant proportion of the Group’s costs, which limits the Group’s ability to immediately change the scale of its operations in response to changes in economic conditions. Therefore, decreases in the number of passengers or volume of cargo could have a large impact on the Group’s revenue and expenses. Moreover, a significant decrease in demand during the summer could affect the Group’s performance for that fiscal year, as passenger service sales typically increase during summer. (20) Financial Risks 1. Increase in the Cost of Financing The Group raises funds to acquire aircraft primarily through bank loans and bond issuances. However, the cost of financing could increase due to deteriorating conditions in the airline industry, turmoil in capital and financial markets, changes in the tax system or government interest policy, changes to the guarantee systems at governmental financial institutions, or a downgrade of the Company’s credit rating that makes it difficult or impossible to finance on terms advantageous to the Group. Such eventualities could affect the Group’s performance. 2. Risks Related to Asset Impairment or Other Issues The Group owns extensive property and equipment as a function of its businesses. If the profitability of various operations deteriorates, or a decision is made to sell assets, the Group may be required to recognize asset impairment losses or loss on sales of property and equipment in the future. 3. Risks Related to Deferred Income Taxes If declining business profits result in lower future taxable income than estimates used in current tax planning, the recoverable amount of deferred income taxes could decrease, leading to a write-down of deferred income taxes. (21) Risks Related to Litigation The Group could be subject to various lawsuits in connection with its business activities, which could affect the Group’s performance. (22) Risk of Inability to Secure Aircraft Fuel The Group sees the slot expansions at Tokyo metropolitan area airports as a major business opportunity. As we plan for business growth, aircraft fuel consumption volume is expected to increase. If we are not able to secure appropriate volumes of aircraft fuel, this development could have an effect on Group aircraft operations. 116 117 Financial / Data Section Consolidated Financial Statements Consolidated Balance Sheet ANA HOLDINGS INC. and its consolidated subsidiaries As of March 31, 2020 ASSETS Current assets: Cash and deposits (Notes 15 and 20) Marketable securities (Notes 4 and 15) Notes and accounts receivable (Note 15) Accounts receivable from and advances to unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates Lease receivables (Note 7) Inventories (Notes 5, 7 and 22) Prepaid expenses and other Allowance for doubtful accounts Total current assets Property and equipment: Land (Note 7) Buildings and structures (Note 7) Aircraft (Note 7) Machinery and equipment Vehicles Furniture and fixtures Lease assets (Note 12) Construction in progress Total Accumulated depreciation Net property and equipment Investments and other assets: Investment securities (Notes 4 and 15) Investments in and advances to unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates (Note 6) Lease and guaranty deposits Deferred income taxes (Note 10) Goodwill Intangible assets Other assets Total investments and other assets TOTAL (Note 17) Yen (Millions) 2020 2019 U.S. dollars (Thousands) (Note 2) 2020 ¥ 109,447 ¥ 68,301 $ 1,005,669 129,200 98,944 2,851 22,823 67,312 225,360 187,529 4,204 26,491 62,130 1,187,172 909,161 26,196 209,712 618,505 141,123 126,672 1,296,728 (538) (457) (4,943) 571,162 700,230 5,248,203 53,886 306,084 54,270 268,082 495,139 2,812,496 2,120,347 1,961,881 19,483,111 112,343 105,594 1,032,279 32,741 65,428 11,170 30,858 56,015 12,330 300,845 601,194 102,637 180,005 286,635 1,654,001 2,882,004 2,775,665 26,481,705 (1,301,678) (1,228,595) (11,960,654) 1,580,326 1,547,070 14,521,051 108,156 120,619 42,322 18,501 99,824 24,461 101,062 14,339 408,665 42,790 24,330 85,307 51,132 104,048 11,596 439,822 993,806 388,881 169,999 917,247 224,763 928,622 131,755 3,755,076 ¥ 2,560,153 ¥ 2,687,122 $ 23,524,331 LIABILITIES AND NET ASSETS Current liabilities: Short-term loans (Notes 7 and 15) Current portion of long-term debt (Notes 7 and 15) Accounts payable (Note 15) Accounts payable to unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates Advance ticket sales Accrued expenses Income taxes payable Other current liabilities (Note 9) Total current liabilities Long-term liabilities: Long-term debt (Notes 7 and 15) Liability for retirement benefits (Note 8) Deferred income taxes (Note 10) Asset retirement obligations (Note 9) Other long-term liabilities Total long-term liabilities Contingent liabilities (Note 14) Net assets (Note 13): Common stock: Yen (Millions) 2020 2019 U.S. dollars (Thousands) (Note 2) 2020 ¥ 429 ¥ 336 $ 3,941 107,878 196,391 4,325 112,651 229,712 4,544 991,252 1,804,566 39,740 111,827 218,950 1,027,538 36,974 8,441 64,281 60,590 21,374 37,776 339,740 77,561 590,655 530,546 685,933 4,874,997 734,555 163,384 112 1,224 61,462 675,662 158,209 110 3,371 54,524 6,749,563 1,501,277 1,029 11,246 564,752 960,737 891,876 8,827,869 Authorized – 510,000,000 shares; Issued – 348,498,361 shares in 2020 and 2019 Capital surplus Retained earnings 318,789 258,470 550,839 318,789 258,448 548,439 2,929,238 2,374,988 5,061,462 Treasury stock – 13,978,652 shares in 2020 and 13,868,935 shares in 2019 (59,435) (59,032) (546,126) Accumulated other comprehensive income: Unrealized gain on securities Deferred gain (loss) on derivatives under hedge accounting Foreign currency translation adjustments Defined retirement benefit plans Total Non-controlling interests Total net assets TOTAL See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 22,120 (14,595) 2,668 37,622 10,636 2,873 203,252 (134,108) 24,515 (17,828) (18,362) (163,815) 1,061,028 1,099,413 9,749,407 7,842 9,900 72,057 1,068,870 1,109,313 9,821,464 ¥2,560,153 ¥2,687,122 $23,524,331 118 119 Financial / Data Section Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income ANA HOLDINGS INC. and its consolidated subsidiaries Year Ended March 31, 2020 Net income Other comprehensive income (loss) (Note 11): Unrealized gain (loss) on securities Deferred gain (loss) on derivatives under hedge accounting Foreign currency translation adjustments Defined retirement benefit plans Share of other comprehensive income (loss) in affiliates Total other comprehensive income (loss) (Note 11) Comprehensive income (loss) Total comprehensive income (loss) attributable to: Owners of the parent Non-controlling interests See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

Basis of presenting consolidated financial statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements of ANA HOLDINGS INC. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Japanese Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and its related accounting regulations and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Japan (“Japanese GAAP”), which are different in certain respects as to the application and disclosure requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). In preparing these consolidated financial statements, certain reclassifications and rearrangements have been made to the consolidated financial statements issued domestically in order to present them in a form which is more familiar to readers outside Japan. In addition, certain reclassifi- cations have been made in the consolidated financial statements of the previous fiscal year to conform to the classifications used in the current fiscal year. 2. Translation of financial statements The consolidated financial statements presented herein are expressed in Japanese yen and, solely for the convenience of readers outside of Japan, have been translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of ¥108.83 = US$1, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on the Tokyo Foreign Exchange Market on March 31, 2020. This translation should not be construed as a representation that the amounts shown could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other rate. Translations of U.S. 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. 3. Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Consolidation The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2020 include the accounts of the Company and its 62 (62 in 2019) significant subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”). Under the control and influence concepts, those companies in which the Company, directly or indirectly, is able to exercise control over operations are fully consolidated, and those companies over which the Group has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for by the equity method. (d) Allowance for doubtful accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts is stated in amounts considered to be appropriate based on the Group’s past credit loss experience and an evaluation of potential losses in the receivables outstanding. (e) Inventories Inventories include aircraft spare parts, supplies and stock in trade of consolidated subsidiaries, and are stated at cost, principally determined by the moving-average method. The net book value of inventories in the consolidated balance sheet is written down when their net realizable value is less than book value. See Note 5 “Inventories” and Note 22 “Supplementary information for the consolidated statement of income” for addi- tional information. (f) Property and equipment (excluding leased assets) Property and equipment, excluding leased assets, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed based on the estimated useful lives. Major assets are depreciated by the following method: Buildings ................................... Straight-line method Aircraft ...................................... Straight-line method The Company and certain subsidiaries employ principally the following useful lives for major property and equipment, based upon the Company’s estimate of durability: Buildings ................................... 3–50 years Aircraft ...................................... 9–20 years Major additions and improvements are capitalized at cost. Maintenance and repairs, including minor remodels and improvements, are charged to income as incurred. The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assets of the Group are grouped by individual property in the case of rental real estate, assets determined to be sold and idle assets, and by management accounting categories in the case of business assets. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or asset group. The impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the discounted cash flows from the continued use and eventual disposition of the asset or the net selling price at disposition. See Note 21 “Impairment loss” for additional information. Investments in 16 (16 in 2019) unconsolidated subsidiaries and significant affiliates are accounted for by the equity method. (g) Intangible assets and amortization (excluding leased assets) The difference between the cost and the underlying 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 10 to 15 years. Intangible assets are amortized principally by the straight-line method. Cost of software purchased for internal use is amortized by the straight- line method over five years, the estimated useful life of purchased software. Investments in 95 (94 in 2019) subsidiaries and affiliates which are not consolidated or accounted for by the equity method are stated at cost. If the equity method of accounting had been applied to the investments in these companies, the effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements would not be material. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All material unrealized profit included in assets resulting from transactions within the Group is also eliminated. Certain subsidiaries have fiscal years ending on December 31 and February 29, and necessary adjustments for significant transactions, if any, are made in consolidation. (b) Foreign currency translation All short-term and long-term monetary receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies are translated into yen at the rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, except for payables and receivables hedged by qualified forward exchange contracts, and differ- ences arising from the translation are included in the consolidated statement of income. The balance sheet accounts of consolidated foreign 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 foreign currency translation adjustments in net assets. (c) Marketable securities and investment securities Marketable securities and investment securities are classified into three categories: trading, held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Under the accounting standard, trading securities are carried at fair value and held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost. Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with changes in unrealized holding gain or loss, net of the applicable income taxes, included directly in net assets. Non-marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities are carried at cost, determined by the moving-average method. See Note 4 “Marketable securities and investment securities” for additional information. (h) Retirement benefits The retirement benefit plans of the Group cover substantially all employees other than directors and corporate auditors. Under the terms of this plan, eligible employees are entitled, upon mandatory retirement or earlier voluntary severance, to lump-sum payments or annuity payments based on their compensation at the time of leaving and years of service with the Company and subsidiaries. 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 sponsor defined contribution pension plans as well as defined benefit pension plans. The Company accounts for the liability for retirement benefits based on the projected benefit obligations and plan assets at the balance sheet date. The projected benefit obligations are attributed to periods on a benefit formula basis. Actuarial gains and losses and past service costs that are yet to be recognized in profit or loss are recognized within net assets (accumulated other comprehensive income), after adjusting for tax effects, and are recognized in profit or loss over the average remaining service years of employees. (i) Income taxes The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income included in the consolidated statement of income. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted income tax rates to the temporary differences. See Note 10 “Income taxes” for additional information. (j) Leases Leased assets arising from transactions under finance lease contracts are depreciated to a residual value of zero by the straight-line method using the term of the contract as the useful life. 124 125 Financial / Data Section Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (k) Derivatives (2) Application date The Group uses derivatives, such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swaps, and commodity options and swaps are to limit its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Group does not use derivatives for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in unrealized gains or losses charged or credited to income, except for those which meet the criteria for deferral hedge accounting under which an unrealized gain or loss is deferred. 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 and meet specific matching criteria are not measured at fair value, but the differential paid or received under the swap agreements is recognized and included in interest expenses. (l) Revenue recognition Passenger revenues, cargo and other operating revenues are recorded when services are provided. (m) Cash equivalents Cash equivalents are short-term investments that are readily convertible into cash and exposed to insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents include time deposits and negotiable certificates of deposit, all of which mature or become due within three months of the date of acquisition. See Note 20 “Supplementary cash flow information” for additional information. (n) Per share information Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, retroactively adjusted for stock splits. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted net income per share of common stock assumes full conversion of the outstanding convertible notes and bonds at the beginning of the year (or at the time of issuance) with an applicable adjustment for related interest expense, net of tax, and full exercise of outstanding warrants. Diluted net income per share is not presented as the effect of including potential common shares is anti-dilutive. Cash dividends per share presented in the accompanying consolidated statement of income are dividends applicable to the respective fiscal years, including dividends to be paid after the end of the year. (o) Share remuneration plan for directors The Company has transactions for delivery of the Company’s treasury stock through a trust as a share remuneration plan (the “Trust for Delivery of Shares to Directors”) in order to improve its operating performance, increase its corporate value, and raise the directors’ awareness of shareholder-oriented management. (1) Transaction outline Trust for Delivery of Shares to Directors is a system in which funds are contributed by the Company, and shares acquired are distributed to the Company’s directors in accordance with the Company’s operating performance, etc. (2) The Company’s treasury stock remaining in the trust The Company’s treasury stock remaining in the trust is recorded at book value (excluding associated expenses) of the trust and is reflected as treasury stock in net assets. The book value was ¥340 million for the previous fiscal year and ¥717 million for the current fiscal year. The number of shares was 107 thousand shares for the previous fiscal year and 209 thousand shares for the current fiscal year. (p) Unapplied new accounting standard “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (Accounting Standards Board of Japan (“ASBJ”) Statement No. 29 – March 31, 2020) “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition” (ASBJ Guidance No. 30 – March 31, 2020) “Implementation Guidance on Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Guidance No. 19 – March 31, 2020) (1) Overview The International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new revenue standard, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (International Financial Reporting Standard 15 (“IFRS 15”) and Accounting Standard Codification 606 (“Topic 606”) issued by the IASB and FASB, respectively), on May 2014. Against the background of the fact that IFRS 15 will be effective from periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and Topic 606 will be effec- tive from periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, the ASBJ issued ASBJ Statement No. 29, “Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition,” and ASBJ Guidance No. 30, “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Revenue Recognition.” The core principle of the standard and guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASBJ’s primary policy for developing its accounting standard for revenue recognition was to include the basic principles of IFRS 15 for the purpose of comparability, between financial statements in accordance with Japanese GAAP and those in accordance with IFRS or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, for particular items for which industrial practice should be taken into consid- eration, alternative means are to be provided to the extent that comparability is maintained. 126 The Company will apply the accounting standard and guidance for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021, and is in the process of measuring the effects of applying the accounting standard and guidance on its consolidated financial statements in future applicable periods. “Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Statement No. 30 – July 4, 2019) “Accounting Standard for Measurement of Inventories” (ASBJ Statement No. 9 – July 4, 2019) “Accounting Standard for Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Statement No. 10 – July 4, 2019) “Implementation Guidance on Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement” (ASBJ Guidance No. 31 – July 4, 2019) “Implementation Guidance on Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (ASBJ Guidance No. 19 – March 31, 2020) (1) Overview The IASB and FASB established almost the same detailed implementation guidance for Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13 and Topic 820 issued by IASB and FASB, respectively). The ASBJ has since made efforts to align Japanese GAAP to International Accounting Standards, so as to incorporate the aforementioned implementation guidance for Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures. This resulted in them issuing ASBJ Statement No. 30, “Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement.” The ASBJ’s primary policy for developing its Accounting Standard for Fair Value Measurement was to include the basic principles of IFRS 13 for the purpose of comparability, between financial statements in accordance with Japanese GAAP and those in accordance with IFRS or account- ing principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, for particular items for which industrial practice should be taken into consideration, alternative means are to be provided to the extent that comparability is maintained. (2) Application date The Company will apply the accounting standard and guidance for annual periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021, and is in the process of measuring the effects of applying the accounting standard and guidance on its consolidated financial statements in future applicable periods. “Accounting Standard for Disclosure of Accounting Estimates” (ASBJ Statement No. 31 – March 31, 2020) (1) Overview Regarding “key sources of estimation uncertainty,” required to be disclosed in accordance with “Presentation of Financial Statements” (International Accounting Standards 1 (“IAS 1”), issued by the IASB in 2003, the ASBJ was requested that it should consider to require disclosure of such note information for the purpose of enhancing usability of Financial Statements. In response to such requests, the ASBJ developed and issued ASBJ Statement No. 31. The ASBJ’s primary policy for developing its accounting standards is not requiring the expansion of individual notes but leading a company to determine the specific content of disclosure in light of the purpose of disclosure by showing their principle and the purpose of disclosure. (2) Application date The Company will apply the accounting standard on March 31, 2021. “Accounting Standard for Accounting Policy Disclosures, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (ASBJ Statement No. 24 – March 31, 2020) (1) Overview The ASBJ revised and issued “Accounting Standard for Accounting Policy Disclosures, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” in order to enhance note information on accounting principles and procedures that were adopted when the provisions of relevant accounting standards are not clear. Also, in consideration of affect on accounting practices, the guidance is subject to applicable No. 24 of annotations on the accounting principles. (2) Application date The Company will apply the accounting standard on March 31, 2021. (q) Additional information Accounting estimates associated with the spread of COVID-19 Demand for air transportation in Japan and overseas decreased rapidly toward the end of the current fiscal year due to immigration restrictions imposed by various countries and the impact of the voluntary restraint of staying home within Japan resulting from the spread of COVID-19. Accounting estimates in the current fiscal year, such as the valuation of goodwill and the recoverability of deferred tax assets, are based on the certain assumption that the situation will continue until the second quarter of the next fiscal year and the demand will pick up gradually afterwards. 127 Financial / Data Section Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 4.

Asset retirement obligations (a) Asset retirement obligations recorded on the consolidated balance sheet (1) Overview of asset retirement obligations The Company and its domestic subsidiaries enter into agreements with national government entities that allow for the use of Japanese government property and have entered into real estate lease contracts with such entities for the Head Office, sales branches, airport branches, and certain other offices. As the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have restoration obligations for such properties at the end of each lease period, related legal obligations required by law and the contracts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as asset retirement obligations. (2) Calculation of asset retirement obligations The Group estimates the expected period of use as 1 to 30 years and calculates the amount of asset retirement obligations with a discount rate of 0% to 2.27%. The following table indicates the changes in asset retirement obligations for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019: Balance at the beginning of the fiscal year Liabilities incurred due to the acquisition of property and equipment Accretion expense Liabilities settled Other Balance at the end of the fiscal year Yen (Millions) 2020 ¥ 3,853 57 19 (513) (2,161) ¥ 1,255 2019 ¥1,319 67 389 (320) 2,398 ¥3,853 U.S. dollars (Thousands) 2020 $ 35,403 523 174 (4,713) (19,856) $ 11,531 (b) Asset retirement obligations not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet The Company and its domestic subsidiaries enter into agreements with national government entities that allow for the use of Japanese govern- ment property, and have entered into real estate lease contracts with such entities for land and office at airport facilities, including Tokyo International Airport, Narita International Airport, New Chitose Airport, Chubu Centrair International Airport, Osaka International Airport, Kansai International Airport, Fukuoka Airport, and Naha Airport. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have restoration obligations when they vacate and clear such facilities. However, as the above airports are considered to be critical infrastructure, it is beyond the control of the Company alone to determine when to vacate and clear such facilities, and it is also impossible to make reasonable estimates as there are currently no relocation plans for the above properties. Therefore, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries do not record asset retirement obligations for the related liabilities. 132 133 Financial / Data Section Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 10. Income taxes 11. Other comprehensive income The Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries are subject to Japanese national and local income taxes which, in the aggregate, resulted in a normal effective statutory tax rate of 30.62% for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The following table presents reclassification and tax effects allocated to each component of other comprehensive income for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019: The Group files a tax return under the consolidated corporate-tax system, which allows companies to base tax payments on the combined profits or losses of the parent company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries. The tax effects of significant temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards which resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: Deferred tax assets: Liability for retirement benefits Prepaid expenses Deferred loss on hedging instruments Accrued bonuses to employees Other provisions Loss on investment in subsidiaries Long-term unearned revenue Loss on valuation of inventories Unrealized gain on inventories and property and equipment Other Total gross deferred tax assets Less valuation allowance Total net deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: Unrealized gain on securities Deferred gain on hedging instruments Retained earnings of subsidiaries and affiliates Other Total gross deferred tax liabilities Net deferred income taxes Yen (Millions) 2020 2019 ¥ 50,286 9,901 8,723 6,608 6,537 6,091 5,270 4,763 4,673 28,827 131,679 (14,268) 117,411 (10,981) (2,681) (2,388) (1,649) (17,699) ¥ 48,750 8,356 – 13,105 4,898 5,305 6,309 3,687 4,597 26,173 121,180 (11,373) 109,807 (16,134) (4,735) (2,283) (1,458) (24,610) U.S. dollars (Thousands) 2020 $ 462,060 90,976 80,152 60,718 60,066 55,968 48,424 43,765 42,938 264,881 1,209,951 (131,103) 1,078,847 (100,900) (24,634) (21,942) (15,152) (162,629) ¥ 99,712 ¥ 85,197 $ 916,217 A reconciliation of the difference between the normal effective statutory tax rate and the actual effective income tax rate for the years ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Normal effective statutory tax rate Reconciliation: Impairment loss Amortization of goodwill Expenses not deductible for income tax purposes Inhabitants tax per capita levy Loss on investment in subsidiaries Income taxes for prior periods Changes in valuation allowance Other, net Actual effective income tax rate 2020 30.62% 2019 30.62% 13.49 2.38 1.30 0.39 – (0.81) 3.54 (1.24) – 0.80 0.46 0.14 (5.57) (1.78) 2.81 (0.09) 49.67% 27.39% 134 Unrealized gain (loss) on securities: Amount arising during the fiscal year Reclassification adjustments to profit or loss Amount of unrealized gain (loss) on securities before tax effect Tax effect Total Deferred gain (loss) on derivatives under hedge accounting: Amount arising during the fiscal year Reclassification adjustments to profit or loss Amount of deferred gain (loss) on derivatives under hedge accounting before tax effect Tax effect Total Foreign currency translation adjustments: Amount arising during the fiscal year Total Defined retirement benefit plans: Amount arising during the fiscal year Reclassification adjustments to profit or loss Amount of defined retirement benefit plans before tax effect Tax effect Total Share of other comprehensive income (loss) in affiliates: Amount arising during the fiscal year Reclassification adjustments to profit or loss Total Yen (Millions) 2020 2019 ¥(19,764) (764) (20,528) 5,159 (15,369) (41,013) 4,424 (36,589) 11,362 (25,227) (221) (221) (3,629) 4,416 787 (248) 539 (381) (2) (383) ¥19,155 (221) 18,934 (5,819) 13,115 9,585 10,671 20,256 (6,141) 14,115 (382) (382) (345) 4,561 4,216 (1,286) 2,930 102 (87) 15 U.S. dollars (Thousands) 2020 $(181,604) (7,020) (188,624) 47,404 (141,220) (376,853) 40,650 (336,203) 104,401 (231,801) (2,030) (2,030) (33,345) 40,577 7,231 (2,278) 4,952 (3,500) (18) (3,519) Total other comprehensive income (loss) ¥(40,661) ¥29,793 $(373,619) 12.

Supplementary information for the consolidated statement of changes in net assets 14. Contingencies Supplementary information for the consolidated statement of changes in net assets for the year ended March 31, 2020 consisted of the following: The Group was contingently liable as a guarantor of loans, principally to affiliates, totaling ¥2,080 million ($19,112 thousand) at March 31, 2020. (a) Dividends Under the Companies Act of Japan (the “Companies Act”), the appropriation of unappropriated retained earnings of the Company with respect to a financial period is made by resolution of the Company’s shareholders at a general meeting to be held subsequent to the close of the financial period and the accounts for that period do not therefore reflect such appropriation. (1) Dividends paid to shareholders Date of approval June 21, 2019 Resolution approved by Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders Type of shares C ommon stock (*1) Yen (Millions) U.S. dollars (Thousands) Amount Amount Paid from Retained earnings Yen U.S. dollars Dividends per share Dividends per share Shareholders’ cut-off date Effective date ¥25,105 $230,680 ¥75.00 $0.68 March 31, 2019 June 24, 2019 (*1) The total amount of dividends does not include ¥9 million ($81 thousand) in dividends to be paid to the subsidiaries and affiliates. This is because the shares held by subsidiaries and affiliates are recognized as treasury stock. (2) Dividends with a shareholders’ cut-off date within the current fiscal year but an effective date within the subsequent fiscal year There are no applicable items. The Companies Act requires that an amount equal to 10% of dividends must be appropriated as a legal reserve (a component of retained earnings) or as additional paid-in capital (a component of capital surplus), depending on the equity account charged upon the payment of such dividends, until the aggregate amount of legal reserve and additional paid-in capital equals 25% of the common stock. Under the Companies Act, the total amount of additional paid-in capital and legal reserve may be reversed without limitation. The Companies Act also provides that common stock, legal reserve, additional paid-in capital, other capital surplus, and retained earnings can be transferred among the accounts within equity under certain conditions upon resolution of the shareholders.

Financial instruments and related disclosures Overview (a) Group policy for financial instruments The Group limits its fund management to short-term time deposits and raises funds through borrowings from financial institutions, including banks. The Group uses derivatives for the purpose of reducing the risks described below and does not enter into derivatives for speculative or trading purposes. (b) Types of financial instruments and related risk Trade receivables (notes and accounts receivable) are exposed to credit risk in relation to customers. Marketable securities and investment securities are exposed to the risk of market price fluctuations. Those securities are composed mainly of the shares of other companies with which the Group has business relationships. Substantially all trade payables 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 hedging instruments. Interest rate swaps that qualify for hedge accounting and meet specific matching criteria are not measured at fair value, but the differential paid or received under the swap agreements is recognized and included in interest expenses. For derivatives, in order to reduce the foreign currency exchange rate risk arising from receivables and payables denominated in foreign curren- cies, 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 to stabilize operating profit. 1) Management of credit risks (risks such as breach of contract by customers) The Group manages its credit risk from receivables on the basis of internal guidelines, which include monitoring of payment term and balances of major customers by each business administration department to identify the default risk of customers at an early stage. 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 sound credit profiles. 2) Management of market risks (fluctuation risks of foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates) In order to reduce foreign currency exchange rate risks, the Group principally utilizes forward foreign exchange contracts for receivables and payables denominated in foreign currencies. In order to mitigate the interest rate fluctuation risks related to debt, the Group utilizes interest rate swap transactions. In addition, the Group enters into commodity derivative transactions such as swaps and options to mitigate fluctuation risk related to commodity prices for fuel. 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 management regulations for derivative transactions which set forth transaction authority and limits on transaction amounts. The Group enters into derivative transactions in accordance with such policies. Moreover, the Group reports plans and results of methods and ratios for offsetting risks at the quarterly meetings of the Board of Directors. 3) Management of liquidity risks related to financing (risks that the Group cannot meet the due dates of payables) The Group manages liquidity risks by establishing a financial plan in order to procure and invest funds that are necessary for the operation of the Group over a certain period of time, in accordance with the Group’s business operating plan and budget. (c) Supplementary explanation of the estimated fair value of financial instruments The fair value of financial instruments is based on their quoted market price, if available. When there is no quoted market price available, fair value is reasonably estimated. Since various assumptions and factors are reflected in estimating the fair value, different assumptions and factors could result in different fair value estimates. In addition, the notional amounts of derivatives presented in Note 16 “Derivatives and hedging activities” are not necessarily indicative of the actual market risk involved in derivative transactions. 137 Financial / Data Section Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Estimated fair value of financial instruments (c) Marketable securities and investment securities The carrying values of financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2020 and 2019, and their estimated fair values, are shown in the following tables. The following tables do not include financial instruments for which fair value cannot be reliably determined (Please refer to Note 2 below). The fair values of marketable and investment securities are measured at the quoted market price of the stock exchange for the equity instru- ments, and at the quoted price obtained from financial institutions for certain debt instruments. The information on the fair values of marketable and investment securities by classification is included in Note 4 “Marketable securities and investment securities” of the notes to the consoli- dated financial statements.

Notes: 1. Methods to determine the estimated fair value of financial instruments and other matters related to securities and derivative transactions Assets (a) Cash and deposits The carrying values of cash and deposits approximate fair value because of their short maturities. (b) Notes and accounts receivable The carrying values of notes and accounts receivable approximate fair value because of their short maturities. Liabilities (a) Accounts payable The carrying values of accounts payable approximate fair value because of their short maturities. (b) Short-term loans The carrying values of short-term loans approximate fair value because of their short maturities. (c) Bonds The fair value of bonds issued by the Company is measured at the present value of the total of principal and interest discounted by an interest rate determined by taking into account the remaining period of each bond and current credit risk. (d) Long-term loans The fair values of long-term loans are determined by discounting the cash flows related to the debt at the Group’s assumed corporate borrowing rate. 2.

In order to manage these risks, the Group utilizes 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 outstanding debt. In addition, the Group also enters into a variety of swaps and options in its management of risk exposure related to jet fuel prices. The Group does 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 transac- tions initiated by respective operational departments have been examined by the accounting department and these transactions, including their measures and ratios, are generally monitored by management on a quarterly basis. Assessment of hedge effectiveness is examined at inception and, on an ongoing basis, periodically. The Group is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties in regard to derivative financial instruments; however, it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations, as the majority of the counterparties are internationally recognized financial institutions.

Revenue Passenger-Kilometers (RPK) Total distance flown by revenue-paying passen- gers aboard aircraft. Revenue-paying passengers x Transport distance (kilometers). Load Factor Indicates the seat occupancy ratio (status of seat sales) as the ratio of revenue passenger- kilometers to available seat-kilometers. Revenue passenger-kilometers / Available seat-kilometers. Yield Unit revenues per revenue passenger-kilometer. Revenues / Revenue passenger-kilometers. Unit Revenues Quantitatively measures revenue management performance by showing unit revenues per available seat-kilometer (Revenues / Available seat-kilometers). Calculated as yield (Revenues / Revenue passenger-kilometers) x load factor (Revenue passenger-kilometers / Available seat-kilometers). Unit Cost Indicates cost per unit in the airline industry. Calculated as cost per available seat-kilometer. Revenue Management This management technique maximizes revenues by enabling the best mix of revenue-paying passengers through yield management that involves optimum seat sales in terms of optimum timing and price based on network and fare strategy. Optimizing Supply to Demand Involves flexibly controlling production capacity (available seat-kilometers) according to demand trends in ways such as increasing or decreasing the frequencies on routes and adjusting aircraft size. Cargo Business Terms Available Ton-Kilometers (ATK) A unit of cargo transport capacity expressed as “production capacity.” Total cargo capacity (tons) x Transport distance (kilometers). Revenue Ton-Kilometers (RTK) Total distance carried by each revenue-paying cargo aboard aircraft. Revenue-paying cargo (tons) x Transport distance (kilometers). Freighter Dedicated cargo aircraft. Seats are removed from the cabin space where passengers would normally sit, and the space is filled with contain- ers or palletized cargo. Belly The space below the cabin on passenger aircraft that is used to transport cargo. Okinawa Cargo Hub & Network The ANA Group’s unique cargo network. With Okinawa (Naha) Airport as an international cargo hub, the network uses late-night connecting flights in a hub and spoke system servicing major Asian cities. Airline Industry and Company Terms IATA The International Air Transport Association. Founded in 1945 by airlines operating flights primarily on international routes, functions include managing arrival and departure slots at airports and settling receivables and payables among airline companies. Approximately 290 airlines are IATA members. ICAO The International Civil Aviation Organization. A specialized agency of the United Nations created in 1944 to promote the safe and orderly develop- ment of international civil aviation. More than 190 countries are ICAO members. Star Alliance Established in 1997, Star Alliance was the first and is the world’s largest airline alliance. ANA became a member in October 1999. As of July 2020, 26 airlines from around the world are members. Code-Sharing A system in which airline alliance partners allow each other to add their own flight numbers on other partners’ scheduled flights. The frequent result is that multiple companies sell seats on one flight. Also known as jointly operated flights. Antitrust Immunity (ATI) Granting of advance approval for immunity from competition laws when airlines operating international routes cooperate on planning routes, setting fares, conducting marketing activities, or other areas, so that the airlines are not in violation of the competition laws of such countries. In Japan, the United States, and South Korea, the relevant department of transportation grants ATI based on an application (in countries other than these three, it is common for a bureau such as a fair trade commission to be in charge), but in the European Union the business itself performs a self-assessment based on the law. ATI approval is generally based on the two conditions that the parties do not have the power to control the market and approval will increase user convenience. Joint Venture A joint business in the international airline industry between two or more airlines. Restrictions such as bilateral air agreements between countries and caps on foreign capital investments still exist in the international airline industry. Therefore, airlines form ATI-based joint ventures, instead of the commonly known methods used in other industries such as capital tie-ups and M&As, etc. By forming joint ventures, airlines in the same global alliance are able to offer travelers a broader, more flexible network along with less expensive fares, thus strengthen- ing their competitiveness against other alliances (or joint ventures). Full Service Carrier (FSC) An airline company that serves a wide range of markets based on a route network that includes code-sharing connecting demand. FSCs offer multiple classes of seats and provide in-flight food and beverages that are included in advance in the fare paid. FSCs are also called network carriers or legacy carriers when compared with low cost carriers (LCCs). Low Cost Carrier (LCC) An airline that provides air transportation services at low fares based on a low-cost system that includes using a single type of aircraft, charging for in-flight services, and simplifying sales. Fundamentally, LCCs operate frequent short- and medium-haul point-to-point flights (flights between two locations). Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Business A business that is contracted to provide aircraft maintenance services using its own maintenance crew and other personnel, along with dedicated facilities. Services include the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of aircraft and other equip- ment owned by airlines. Dual Hub Network Strategy A strategy for using the two largest airports in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Haneda and Narita) for different yet complementary strategic aims and functions. At Haneda, which offers excellent access from central Tokyo, the strategy targets overall air travel demand in the Tokyo metropoli- tan area, including the outskirts of Tokyo, as well as demand for connecting flights from various Japanese cities to international routes that harness ANA’s existing domestic network. Meanwhile, at Narita the strategy aims to capture transit demand for travel between third countries via Narita, focusing on Trans-Pacific travel between North America and Asia / China. This will be accomplished by upgrading and expanding the international network and enhancing connect- ing flights by setting efficient flight schedules. 152 153 Financial / Data Section Market Data International Passenger Market Domestic Passenger Market Global Air Transportation Passenger Volume by Region Foreign Visitor Arrivals / Number of Japanese Overseas Travelers Number of Domestic Passengers and LCC Share Top 10 Airports in Japan by Number of Passengers For further information, Fact Book 2020 can be downloaded from the ANA Group corporate website in PDF format. https://www.ana.co.jp/group/en/investors/irdata/annual/ RPK (Billions) 9,000 6,000 3,000 0 (Left) (Right) 3,011 3,000 8,679 2,320 2,000 1,932 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 786 442 185 1,000 0 (CY) (Millions) 32 24 16 8 0 27.76 18.13 Number of Passengers (Thousands) 100,000 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 (FY) 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 20 16 12 8 4 0 (FY) 1 2 3 4 Tokyo (Haneda) Tokyo (Narita) Osaka (Kansai) Fukuoka 5 Sapporo (New Chitose) 6 Okinawa (Naha) 7 Osaka (Itami) 8 Nagoya (Chubu) 39,541 28,663 23,035 22,814 20,613 15,765 12,590 9 10 Kagoshima 5,769 Sendai 3,718 LCC Share (%) Ranking Airport (Thousands) 81,707 Total Asia-Pacific Europe North America Middle East Latin America Africa Foreign Visitor Arrivals Japanese Overseas Travelers 2014 2015 2016 (Left) Full Service Carriers LCCs (Right) 2017 2018 LCC Share 2019 0 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 Number of Passengers on Domestic Operations Number of Passengers on International Operations Source: International Air Transport Association (IATA), 2020 Source: Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), 2020 Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, fiscal 2019 Note: Compilation from reports on Status of Airport Operations, fiscal 2019 Source: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, fiscal 2019 Foreign Visitor Arrivals by Country / Region ANA Domestic Passenger Business: ASK, RPK, and Number of Passengers ANA’s Top 10 Domestic Scheduled Flights by Number of Passengers FY2019 27.76 million (–12.2% YoY) Malaysia 1 .6% Vietnam 1 .7% Australia 2.1% The Philippines 2.2% Thailand 4.3% U.S.A. 5.6% Hong Kong 7.7% South Korea 14.3% Others 14.2% Composition China 30.4% Taiwan 15.8% (Millions) 80,000 60,000 40,000 20,000 0 (Thousands) 60,000 42,916 58,552 39,502 45,000 30,000 15,000 0 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 (FY) Source: Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), 2020 (Left) RPK ASK (Right) Number of Passengers Ranking (FY2019) Route 1 Haneda–New Chitose 2 3 4 5 Haneda–Fukuoka Haneda–Itami Haneda–Okinawa Haneda–Hiroshima 6 Haneda–Matsuyama 7 8 Haneda–Kansai Haneda–Nagasaki 9 Haneda–Kagoshima 10 Haneda–Kumamoto (Thousands) 3,741 3,543 2,836 2,688 1,165 971 883 783 765 729 1,000 0 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 Note: Figures include revenue passengers on ANA flights and code-share flights operated by partner airlines.
