A Further investment to improve labor productivity • Under the project, about 1,900 people are promoting business transformation using digital tools (Work Smile Project) • Forming a generative AI community, etc. *CBM (Condition Based Maintenance): Philosophy of preventative maintenance to achieve both quality and efficiency by constantly monitoring and tracking the status of facilities, and conducting maintenance only when necessary.

B Railway Fares/Charges Impact of inflation under the current system 32 ⚫ Even in light of the revised cost of revenue calculation guidelines, there is currently no room for fare rate revision due to the strong earnings results and high capital efficiency. Despite this, we recognize that fare revision remains an important management issue due to the impacts of inflation and enhancement of human resources, with labor shortage occurring faster than expected. Operational return *Similar to asset incomeability Operational costs related to railway business Railway revenue, Etc. <Revenue><Costs> Fare cannot be revised if revenue exceeds the costs Changes in conditions such as inflation Through continuous management efforts, we have increased revenues, improved asset efficiency, and secured income that exceeds costs, achieving growth Failure to promptly pass on the increase in operating costs to revenue will make it impossible to secure the funds necessary for future-oriented investments, making it difficult to sustain and grow the railway business Promoting a revised fare system that can adapt to inflations ●To enhance the sustainability of the railway business, it is desirable to create a virtuous cycle of wage increases and growth throughout the supply chain. This can be achieved by appropriately and timely passing on cost increases due to inflation and wage hikes to railway fares and charges. Therefore, we will continue to actively engage with the government.

⚫ Since April 2022, JR-West has disclosed the ratio of costs to revenue by railway section for 30 sections on 17 lines with a transport density of less than 2,000 passengers per day (Initial: 17 lines, 30 sections ⇒ FY2024: 19 lines, 32 sections) ⚫ On these railway sections, which account for roughly one-third of JR-West’s operating kilometers, usage has decreased by about 70% since 1987. This presents a problem where the benefits of railway service (mass transport) cannot be fully leveraged. Various discussions about this issue have commenced. ⚫ Revisions to the Regional Transportation Act (enacted on October 1, 2023) created a framework for discussing the rebuilding of new local lines, such as the rebuilding cooperation committee organized by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism at the request of local public organizations or railway operators. 34 D Consideration of Ideal Local Lines and Regional Traffic Discussed setting a place for discussion between June and July 2024 Kisuki Line Izumo-Yokota to Bingo-Ochiai FY2020.3 Transport Density Railway sections with more than 8,000 passengers per day Railway sections with 4,000 to 8,000 passengers per day Railway sections with 2,000 to 4,000 passengers per day ~2,000 passengers per day → Scope for disclosure Johana Line Himi Line Determined reconstruction policy 2029 Planned transfer of management Oito Line Start of demonstration business to increase the number of buses with voluntary association from June 2024 Kakogawa Line Nishiwaki City to Tanigawa Start of demonstration business to increase convenience with voluntary association from July 2024 Start of discussion by Reconstruction Council from March 2024 Start of demonstration business, including increased trains in certain areas from July 2025 Geibi Line Bitchu-Kojiro to Bingo-Shobara Mine Line Decided on the approach to restore using modes other than railways (BRT, etc.) in July 2025 Started formulation of a plan at the statutory council in October 2025 ▼State of Major Dialogs [Reference] New rolling stock for Johana Line and Himi Line [Reference] Mine Line: Fourth Recovery Planning Subcommittee meeting material

Communication with Shareholders and Investors Main Content of Dialog Theme Voice of shareholders and investors Company initiatives Growth strategy to enhance corporate value Building an optimal business portfolio ⚫ JR West is working to create a business portfolio that includes real estate and urban development, digital strategy, and new business creation. We would like the Company to further improve information disclosure on the progress of each direction of growth. ⚫ Isn’t long-term sustainability of the railway business difficult under the current fare system? ⚫ Direction of business portfolio management is to position the railway as the core business while regularly confirming and determining the degree of contributing to improving corporate value through the growth potential of each business, invested capital, and capital efficiency (ROIC-WACC spread); synergy between businesses; link to transportation; risk distribution; and other factors. ⚫ We recognize improvement of the level of disclosure related to portfolio structure is an item highly expected by the capital market and clearly disclose ROIC per business. ⚫ We actively release state of progress on digital strategy through dialog with the person in charge of business departments during the IR Day. Disclose the impact of income and expenditure from the digital strategy. We will set opportunities to engage in dialog regarding other strategies when the occasion arises. ⚫ We requested the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and other bodies to build a fare system that can respond to an inflationary environment. Management with an awareness of capital costs and stock price ⚫ Considering the changes in the management environment after the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect management and business development that consider appropriate capital costs. ⚫ Share buyback of ¥100 billion (forecast) is accepted favorably. On the other hand, we hope this is not a temporary measure but is a continuous measure and further dialog with the capital market on cash allocation in the next mid-term management plan, direction during increased/decreased income, and other matters ⚫ As a result of higher risk premiums in railway business due to the COVID- 19 and inflation during repeated discussions with shareholders and investors, cost of shareholders’ equity has currently increased to a 7% level. We recognize that it has become a burden on the share price. ⚫ We have not changed our policy of controlling capital costs (WACC) at a 3% level for the mid- to long-term, but financial soundness and optimum capital composition including changes in the mid- to long-term portfolio will be regularly discussed by the Board of Directors upon repeated and continuous dialog with the capital market ⚫ We expect EPS, ROE, and dividend per share to recover to the pre- COVID-19 level by early implementation of share buybacks as described in the Medium-Term Management Plan update. Sustainability management ⚫ The description of the human resources strategy is detailed, but it is not clear how it connects to value creation. ⚫ As to how outside directors are monitoring and can speedily execute measures is unclear; disclosure of what is being discussed in the Board of Directors meetings would be desirable. ⚫ Disclosed the focus on the management policy for human resources strategy, direction of the initiatives, and the scale of investment in human capital during the IR Day. ⚫ Set opportunities to engage in dialog with the outside director and release information regarding the roles and contributions of the outside director (Nozaki) through direct dialog. ⚫ Continue discussion on sustainability and improvement of corporate value as well as setting related KPIs as important issues. 39
