On the Publication of

Our Integrated Report

In keeping with the Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group's management philosophy, we remain committed to delivering safety and comfort as well as dreams and excitement as a means of maintaining customer satisfaction while contributing to society at large. At the same time, we are maintaining our focus on achieving Long-Term Vision: Toward 2040, the concept we formulated in 2022 that encompasses strategies grounded in sustainable management as set forth in our Sustainability Declaration.

In Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Integrated Report 2023, we have presented both financial and non- financial information in an integrated manner in order to provide stakeholders with detailed yet easy-to-understand explanations of the policies and strategies we are implementing to enhance our corporate value over the medium and long terms.

In this report, our fifth since our inaugural edition was published in fiscal 2019, we have introduced new disclosures on our Scope 3 CO emissions (see page 91). We have done so in acknowledgment of the importance of efforts to reduce emissions attributable to the supply chain and other such sources. We also report on the roundtable discussion we have held with outside directors (see page 85) to address the current status and future challenges of our Group's focus on sustainable management. Through these new additions, we have sought to enrich the content of this publication by addressing matters of broad market interest.

We trust this report will help to deepen your understanding of our Group and its initiatives.

We look forward to your continued support in the years ahead.

Corporate Data

Hankyu Corporation and Hanshin Electric Railway began operations in the early 1900s. Over a full century, we expanded our railway network on the business model of attracting people to the areas along the lines by developing residential areas and through other means to increase the number of railway passengers. Today, we have built an extensive transportation network in the Kansai region that includes bus and taxi services, primarily in the Keihanshin area that includes Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe. This network serves as important social infrastructure, providing people with safe, secure, and comfortable transportation services.

The Group has built on this railway operation business, expanding into real estate development, entertainment, and a number of other fields over the course of more than a century, working to develop services that provide high customer satisfaction and offer new value to people along those rail lines. In these ways we have built a reliable reputation, growing the line-side areas around transportation lines that form the core of the Group's business.

To increase the number of passengers along the railway lines, Hankyu Corporation's founder, Ichizo Kobayashi, actively pursued other forms of development in addition to building residential areas. Those endeavors include the still-popular Takarazuka Grand Theater and the world's first department store at a train terminal, the Hankyu Department Store. In the Osaka-Umeda area, the Group's largest business base, we have continued to develop office buildings and commercial facilities connected directly to the train station, establishing the area as the Kansai region's largest terminal. After the establishment of Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, development has accelerated even further to make the area even more attractive, taking advantage of the Group's greater total strength.

With a long history of business wedded to this region, our competitiveness is rooted in this drive to offer new enrichment and lifestyle options to people through urban development that attracts people to line-side areas to visit or live.

Entertainment is one of the unique strengths of the Group, and two of our most important assets are the Takarazuka Revue and Hanshin Tigers.

The Takarazuka Revue began with a singing troupe performing operas in a theater converted from an indoor swimming pool facility. The Takarazuka Revue, with its motto,"Modesty, Fairness, Grace,"is loved by people across Japan and abroad, and will celebrate its 110th anniversary in 2024. The Hanshin Tigers started out as the Osaka Baseball Club, established in 1935, so it has a nearly 90-year history and the strong support of local fans and people who love its home, the Hanshin Koshien Stadium.

Besides entertainment, the Group runs a travel business, centering on the Trapics brand, focusing on fulfilling a diverse and growing range of travel needs.

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the value of real-world experiences is again being recognized. We will continue to develop and refine all of this unique "content"to offer excitement and encourage people to dream.
