(1) Analysis of Operating Results

1) Summary of Operating Results

For the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021 (March 1, 2020 - February 28, 2021), Aeon Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Aeon") posted consolidated operating revenue of 8,603,910 million yen (largely unchanged year on year), operating profit of 150,586 million yen (down 30.1%), and ordinary profit of 138,801 million yen (down 32.6%). These operating results were higher than the consolidated operating results forecasts announced in December 2020. Loss attributable to owners of parent was 71,024 million yen (a profit decrease of 97,863 million yen), but this was the result of one-off measures and other measures that will contribute to future improvements in profitability, and profitability is expected to recover in fiscal 2021 (March 1, 2021 - February 28, 2022). The aforementioned measures include those implemented in relation to the temporary suspension of store operations and the shortening of store opening hours in response to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), rent reductions and exemptions for tenant specialty store companies (which are important business partners for Aeon), and measures to improve management efficiency such as inventory reductions.

Amid activity restrictions and people refraining from outings due to COVID-19, the Supermarket Business and the Health and Wellness Business both continued to operate as lifelines supporting the lifestyles of those in local communities with sales of food and daily essentials throughout the year, and both posted large increases in profit. The GMS (General Merchandise Store) Business was impacted by people refraining from going out and the suspension of operation of tenant zones accompanying the state of emergency declared in April 2020, but efforts were made to reduce inventories as a way to enhance the structure of the business, and the gross profit margin is now on a recovery track. Efforts also focused on reducing the expenses and increasing the profitability of the GMS Business. The Financial Services Business, Shopping Center Development Business, Services and Specialty Store Business, and the International Business were all impacted by suspensions of operations and shortened business hours in conjunction with the declaration of states of emergency both in Japan and overseas, as well as lockdowns, but the situation is currently recovering as a result of thorough efforts to prevent infection, respond robustly to the emerging "new normal", and improve earnings.

Common Group Strategy:

  • In November 2020, Aeon revised the AEON COVID-19 Protocol for Infectious Disease Control which was instituted in June 2020. This protocol established standards for epidemic prevention measures. The November revision added measures related to the introduction of equipment to ventilate facilities and air-cleaning systems to prevent infection via airborne droplets, and also added provisions regarding eradicating the risk of infection from employees in our facilities as well as measures to prevent secondary infections should a primary infection occur. The purpose of this protocol is to contribute to the realization of a society in which epidemic prevention is a part of daily life, protect the health and lifestyles of customers and employees, and ensure safe and secure lifestyles for people in local communities together with customers by implementing epidemic prevention measures on an ongoing basis, not as a temporary initiative. Aeon will continue working to reduce transmission risk, and build safe and secure store environments and workplace environments by combining a variety of epidemic prevention initiatives.
  • In accordance with basic agreements concerning supermarket management integration in six regions of Japan concluded in 2018, Aeon integrated management of supermarkets in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions and the Tokai and Chubu regions in fiscal 2019. In fiscal

2

2020, Aeon completed management integration in all regions of Japan by integrating management in the Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kinki, and Kyushu regions. Specifically, management integration was carried out at Aeon Hokkaido Corporation and Maxvalu Hokkaido Co., Ltd. in Hokkaido and at Maxvalu Tohoku Co., Ltd. and AEON Retail Co., Ltd. Tohoku Company's food business in the Tohoku region in March. In the Kinki region, The Daiei, Inc. made Kohyo Co., Ltd. a subsidiary. In the Kyushu region, management of Aeon Kyushu Co., Ltd., Maxvalu Kyushu Co., Ltd., and Aeon Store Kyushu Co., Ltd. was integrated in September. In the Chugoku and Shikoku region, to further reorganize stores, in October Maxvalu Nishinihon Co., Ltd. concluded an agreement to merge Marunaka Co., Ltd. and Sanyo Marunaka Co., Ltd. (which were converted into subsidiaries in March 2019), in March 2021. The integrated companies in each region will aim to become the companies that contribute the most to their local communities by responding to: diversification of food preferences, such as preferences for local food, low-priced food, and healthy food; even greater consciousness of safety and security; intensification of competition in the food market with e-commerce companies, convenience stores, and other providers; and changes in the labor environment.

  • In October, Aeon announced that BIG-A CO. LTD. and AꞏColle Co., LTD., companies involved in the Discount Store business, would carry out a management integration in March 2021. The management integration of the two companies is aimed at accelerating their dominance of the small-scale discount store business in the Greater Tokyo Area and building a new growth strategy in order to respond to changes in the business environment, such as the emerging "new normal" and changing work styles spurred by COVID-19, increasing numbers of budget-minded consumers, and intensifying price competition. To win the support of customers with overwhelmingly low prices, efforts will be made to establish low-cost management through consolidating procurement, integrating logistics, pursuing horizontal expansion of logistics-linkedlow-cost operations, and consolidating headquarters functions.
  • Aeon has set out a policy of reorganizing the Group business structure and is proceeding with the strategic liquidation and reorganization of Group companies. As a part of this effort, in April 2020, Aeon sold its entire shareholding in Zwei Co., Ltd. and terminated the business operated by Talbots Japan Co., Ltd. in May. In October, Aeon terminated the businesses operated by Claire's Nippon Co., Ltd., while in October Aeon sold its entire shareholding in Aeon Forest Co., Ltd., which operates The Body Shop in Japan.
  • In February 2021, AEON CO. (M) BHD. ("Aeon Malaysia") concluded an agreement on digital business with a group company of U.S.-based Giddy, Inc. that operates Boxed. Aeon Malaysia will utilize the advanced technology-supported platform of Boxed, which operates an online-only wholesale business and possesses strong customer proposal capabilities based on advanced automated logistics systems and AI-based algorithms, to provide convenient online shopping experiences to customers through functional screen design, personalized functions, and other features.

2) Business Segment Information

From the fiscal year under review, Aeon has revised the business segments presented as reportable segments. Comparisons and analysis for the fiscal year are based on the revised segments.

GMS Business

3

The General Merchandise Store (GMS) Business posted an operating loss of 15,689 million yen (a profit decrease of 22,913 million yen year on year) on operating revenue of 3,069,510 million yen (largely unchanged year on year) for the fiscal year.

Aeon Retail Co., Ltd. continued to capture demand arising from COVID-19. In terms of product-related initiatives, in response to people's growing focus on maintaining their current living standards, from early November Aeon Retail began selling up to approximately 700 daily necessities, including food and everyday consumables at special low prices. In addition, Sporsium, a shop offering home fitness-related items, was expanded to 352 stores nationwide, and by selling at-home fitness products and walking-related products, same-store sales in this category grew more than 30% year on year. Also, sales of the fall/winter series of HOME COORDY items developed in response to the "new normal" with the aim of meeting remote work and stay-at-home demand were strong. In terms of services, online supermarket services have experienced a sharp increase in demand, and Aeon Retail has proceeded with diversification of ways in which customers can receive their orders by increasing the number of stores that offer the "Pick Up!" service for customers to pick up merchandise ordered online to 200 stores as of the end of February 2021. Aeon Retail also bolstered its online advanced sales of food for special events, such as Christmas, New Year's, and Setsubun (traditional festival celebrating the coming of spring), and online supermarket sales increased significantly. In response to increased customer demand for non-contact and non-face-to-face services, Aeon Retail has introduced Regi Go, a service that meets this demand by allowing customers themselves to use smartphones to scan items and pay for them at dedicated cash registers, and the number of stores offering this service increased to 22 stores as of the end of February. In addition to these initiatives, Aeon Retail proactively reduced inventories to improve management efficiency, resulting in an approximately 20% decline in inventories compared to the beginning of the fiscal year, and a continual improvement in gross profit margin as the fiscal year progressed. Moreover, Aeon Retail opened 12 new stores during the fiscal year. This included the grand opening in November of Aeon Style Fujimino (Saitama Prefecture), a store designed in response to the "new normal" based on the concept "Healthy bodies and minds. A store that supports a fulfilling life".

In March, Aeon Hokkaido Corporation (hereinafter "Aeon Hokkaido") carried out a management integration with Maxvalu Hokkaido Co., Ltd., and made a fresh start as the new Aeon Hokkaido. Aeon Hokkaido engaged in development of local production areas and products through the Food Products Development Department, which was established in order to promote the expansion and enhancement of the private-brand food product range, and developed approximately 760 items unique to the region during the fiscal year. Aeon Hokkaido also held an "Aeon Dosan Day" aimed at supporting local food produce during the period, and in order to help local restaurants and producers facing a variety of difficulties as a result of COVID-19, they were given the opportunity to communicate with people through various media and through digital signage in stores. In addition, Aeon Hokkaido expanded the "Raku Haya! Cooking" initiative, which it has been undertaking at supermarkets with the aim of recommending fresh seasonal ingredients and suggesting dishes to cook, to all 40 GMS Business stores. The number of Supermarket Business stores offering cut flowers, a strongly performing product for the GMS Business, was expanded to 30, and sales were strong. Elsewhere, in response to the increase in online supermarket demand, Aeon Hokkaido worked to increase the number of orders received, including by upgrading its systems, and net sales in the online supermarket business increased 32.3% year on year. Gift sales via the online shop "eShop" were robust, and Aeon Hokkaido also launched six additional specialty websites, including "Aeon Toys", and net sales increased 165.6% year on year. As a result of these initiatives and the management integration, Aeon Hokkaido posted an increase in sales and profit.

Supermarket Business

The Supermarket Business posted operating profit of 50,687 million yen (a profit increase of 135.7% year on year) on operating revenue of 3,265,669 million yen (up 1.3% year on year) for the fiscal year.

The United Super Markets Holdings Group (hereinafter "U.S.M. Holdings") prioritized measures to prevent infection in stores and thereby fulfil its responsibility as a part of the lifeline infrastructure of local communities. In terms of digitalization initiatives, the Scan & Go Service, a payment function that facilitates simple, secure, effortless shopping using customers' own smartphones without waiting in line at cash registers possible, was first introduced and then expanded among stores of Kasumi Co., Ltd., and introduced at stores of both Maruetsu, Inc. and Maxvalu Kanto. U.S.M Holdings also expanded Online Delivery, a service that allows customers to order products using smartphones and pick them up at stores or designated delivery destinations within the service area. The company also expanded the rollout of an advertisement distribution and marketing service that utilizes AI digital signage. Furthermore, the company proactively refurbished stores, and worked to bolster its fresh food and delicatessen food offerings, and enhance its product lineup, enabling it to enhance the convenience of its outlets as food specialty stores. Also, the company worked to increase productivity through initiatives such as introducing full-self-checkout registers and semi-self- checkout registers, and standardizing work processes.

At Maxvalu Tokai Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Maxvalu Tokai"), in response to the increase in demand for eating-at-home and more customers seeking to economize, and in an effort to ensure the stable provision of products to customers, the company bolstered its offerings of fresh foods and products that are frequently purchased, worked to offer more appealing prices, enhanced its lineup of individually-wrapped, small volume foods, and established "day of week" sales with uniformly priced products, as well as special promotion days such "customer appreciation days", along with special store displays on weekends. The company also launched the Mie Prefecture Arigato and Aichi Prefecture Arigato campaigns in order to expand the rollout of locally-produced products cherished by local residents and to strengthen partnerships with local communities. In terms of services, in response to changes in customer purchasing behavior, the company increased the number of online supermarket delivery centers and expanded delivery areas. Also, in addition to a product delivery service utilizing the Uber Eats food delivery platform introduced on a trial basis in November, the company launched new trial initiatives, including providing access to online supermarket services within the popular recipe video service "Kurashiru" from February 2021.

Health and Wellness Business

The Health and Wellness Business recorded operating profit of 41,532 million yen (up 16.6% year on year) on operating revenue of 956,596 million yen (up 8.9%) for the fiscal year.

At Welcia Holdings Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Welcia Holdings") and its consolidated

subsidiaries, although business was affected by COVID-19, efforts were made to continue operations and provide products and services while implementing measures to prevent infection and ensure high hygiene standards. Despite the impact from the decline in demand for cosmetics and makeup products due to people working from home and refraining from going out, merchandise sales were strong because of higher demand for items such as food and products to prevent infection. With regard to prescription drugs, in addition to the impact from drug price revisions, there was an impact from the decline in the number of prescriptions filled as less people are undergoing medical examinations and prescription unit prices increased due to the increase in long-term prescriptions as a result of people refraining from going out due to COVID-19, but sales remained strong due to the increase in the number of stores dispensing prescription drugs (1,643 stores as of February 28, 2021, an increase of 201 stores compared to February 29, 2020). With respect to SG&A expenses, Welcia Holdings worked to control

5

expenses, especially personnel expenses, through efforts such as increasing the operating efficiency of stores by promoting thorough store labor-hour management through labor-hour control and automating ordering. Also, Welcia Holdings increased the number of group stores to 2,217 as of February 28, 2021 through the proactive opening of new stores and M&A. As a result of these initiatives, Welcia Holdings posted increased revenue and profit.

Financial Services Business

The Financial Services Business posted operating profit of 42,648 million yen (down 39.5% year on year) on operating revenue of 487,572 million yen (up 0.6%) for the fiscal year.

Aeon Financial Service Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "AFS") leveraged Aeon Group's retail business and e-commerce channels which offer food products and daily goods tailored to people's lifestyles , as well as AFS's unique customer base with its strengths based on partnerships with large blue-chip companies such as major public transportation agencies, to enhance screening and diversify marketing methods. Furthermore, AFS continued to building out its platform facilitating business continuity amid the COVID-19 crisis by working to accelerate its digital transformation (DX), increase business efficiency, and advance workstyle reforms through the introduction of teleworking and other measures.

Aeon Bank Ltd. increased the number of installed video teller machines and expanded the online advanced reservation system and online financial consultation services as initiatives to facilitate non-face-to-face and contact-free services, as well as to minimize the time customers need to spend in branches. In addition the bank advanced efforts to introduce a housing loan service that enables customers to complete the entire loan application procedure, right through to completion of the loan agreement, at home via online application, telephone, and mail. Due to the bank's initiatives such as screening loan applications even on weekends and holidays, as well as well as strengthening marketing, the number of applications received increased and the loan balance grew despite the impact of COVID-19.

This year marks Aeon Card's 20th anniversary, and from November we launched an Aeon Card 20th anniversary campaign focused on expanding the customer base and increasing shopping transaction volume. Regarding credit card shopping, although there was still an impact on the use of credit cards for automobile-related purchases, such as gasoline and electronic toll collections, as well as for public transportation and travel agency use, credit card shopping transaction volume was high for Aeon Group, which accounts for a large proportion of the total 7 transaction volume, and was also high for supermarkets and drugstores. In addition, transaction volume at home improvement stores and large consumer electronics retailers was strong, and transaction volume in the fiscal year recovered to roughly the same level as the previous fiscal year.

In AFS's international operations, in Thailand, card transaction volume was low at department stores and travel agencies due to the impact of activity restrictions, but card shopping transaction volume increased for necessities such as food and daily consumables. With respect to cash advances and personal loans, AFS increased credit limits for customers with the ability to repay loans, and implemented a campaign encouraging dormant members to use these services. In Malaysia, for motorbike loans, which account for approximately 50% of the motorbike installment sales market, AFS returned its loan screening standards, which had temporarily been made stricter, to the same level as the previous year. This and other efforts resulted in the balance of motorbike loan operating receivables exceeding that of the previous fiscal year.

Shopping Center Development Business

The Shopping Center Development Business earned operating profit of 35,738 million yen (down 43.5% year on year) on operating revenue of 327,017 million yen (down 12.1%) for the fiscal year.

In its domestic business, in response to the state of emergency declaration in April, Aeon Mall Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Aeon Mall") temporarily closed all 164 facilities nationwide. Subsequently, Aeon Mall resumed operations at all of its facilities by the end of May. In reopening, Aeon Mall implemented measures to prevent the spread of infection and ensure safety and peace of mind, such as installing AI-based temperature screening equipment at entrances and creating better air circulation inside mall buildings by bringing in more outside air. To meet needs in the "new normal" emerging as a result of COVID-19, Aeon Mall introduced fresh types of entertainment, such as drive-in movies and drive-in public viewings. Also, in June, Aeon Mall completely overhauled the Aeon Mall app and supported the specialty store business by providing services suited to changes in customer behaviors, such as providing information helping customers to avoid peak store visit times. During the Aeon Mall Black Friday event held in November, Aeon Mall carried out special activities utilizing both offline and online channels, including "live commerce" events and raffles that customers participated in using the Aeon Mall app. At Aeon Mall Ageo (Saitama Prefecture) which opened in December, in consideration of the health and safety of visitors and employees, the company enhanced air circulation, such as by installing air circulators directing air into atrium areas and opening the windows at the top of the atriums. Aeon Mall refurbished eight malls and also carried out refurbishment and floor space expansion of two further malls.

Although Aeon Mall temporarily closed as many as 11 of 21 malls operated in China in mid-February 2020, malls were reopened in stages, and specialty store operation at all malls had resumed by April. Aeon Mall implemented measures in response to changes in consumption behavior and government stimulus policies. These included the March start-up of a platform for "live commerce" (a new sales technique that fuses live video streaming and e-commerce), a delivery campaign for online purchases and restaurants, and the opening of night markets in large parking lot areas. In addition, the company reopened cinemas at all malls in early August, after having been closed in accordance with government orders. As a result of these initiatives, Aeon Mall posted year-on-year increases in specialty store sales at existing malls in its China business during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year (October 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020). In Vietnam, although the specialty stores of four malls were temporarily closed beginning in late March because of government regulations, stores at all malls reopened in late April. A subsequent COVID-19 outbreak in July temporarily impacted operations, but thanks to stringent measures to contain the virus, sales at specialty stores in existing malls in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year (October 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020) exceeded the level of the same period of the previous year. During the fiscal year, the company opened a total of two new malls. These were the Aeon Mall Sentul City (Jawa Barat), which opened in October as the company's third mall in Indonesia, and Aeon Mall Hai Phong Le Chan (Hai Phong), which opened in December as the company's sixth mall in Vietnam.

Services and Specialty Store Business

The Services and Specialty Store Business posted an operating loss of 17,690 million yen (a profit decrease of 22,211 million yen year on year) on operating revenue of 642,323 million yen (down 13.7% year on year) for the fiscal year.

Aeon Delight Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Aeon Delight") set up a COVID-19 response headquarters covering Japan, China, and the ASEAN region, all being areas where it operates, at the beginning of February 2020. By carrying out a variety of measures to prevent infections in each area, the company contributed to creating facilities adapted to the age of COVID-19. In addition, as a part of the establishment of new standards for facility management incorporating infectious disease control measures, Aeon Delight is testing various measures to strengthen prevention of contact infection and improve ventilation within facilities, while the company has also established New Standard Cleaning (hereinafter "NSC"), a new cleaning method that creates a sanitary environment with a scientific evidence-based approach, and began providing

7

the NSC service in September. In providing this service, the company has created its own original education program based on the knowledge cultivated through sanitary cleaning services that it has been providing to hospitals over the years, as well as the latest developments in research, and the company has worked to expand the platform for providing this service. The company also worked to reform its business structure through the digital transformation of its operations and services, including transitioning to an area management system based on patrol- style facility management aimed at resolving personnel shortages and facilitating sustainable growth.

Cox Co., Ltd., a clothing and miscellaneous goods specialty store, opened a fashion mask specialty store on a limited-time basis in Tokyo Station's Yaesu underground shopping mall in September, positioning masks as fashion items given the fact that wearing a mask has become a normal part of everyday life. Subsequently, the company opened a total of 13 stores on a limited-time basis, centered on main train stations and department stores in key cities. Mask sales significantly boosted the company's presence, and the company revamped its online store in October, making it even easier to view and buy products, and more convenient to use the website. This led to significant growth with an 80.5% year-on year increase in online shopping sales. In addition, in response to stay-at-home demand, the company released a new range of loungewear, and also responded to changes in customer needs by expanding its selection of houseware.

International Business

(Aeon's consolidated financial statements for the International Business reflect results mainly for January through December).

The International Business posted operating profit of 6,068 million yen (down 43.7% year on year) on operating revenue of 414,413 million yen (down 5.6% year on year) for the year.

At Aeon Co. (M) Bhd. (hereinafter "Aeon Malaysia"), although January sales increased substantially year on year thanks to a successful early start during the Chinese New Year sales season, business activities were subsequently impacted due to the spread of COVID-19. Amid this situation, Aeon Malaysia implemented new initiatives, such as a drive-throughpick-up service for customers to pick up products ordered online in store parking lots, a service where personal shoppers buy products on behalf of customers, and a motorbike delivery service for seniors. In addition, efforts to capture demand for bulk purchasing and eating-at-home led to the posting of a year-on-year increase in food section sales.

Aeon Vietnam Co., Ltd., which has worked continuously to strengthen its response to social events, promoted sales of priority merchandise during the Tet (the Vietnamese Lunar New Year) sales season, one of the most important sales seasons of the year. During the season, sales of Lunar New Year-related products were particularly strong, mainly ao dai (a traditional Vietnamese garment) in the apparel category and gift items and fresh foods in the food category. Subsequently, although sales were affected most in April, when a lockdown was imposed due to the spread of COVID-19, sales in July recovered to a level above the previous year, due to the success of a large discount event and other initiatives as a part of a sale implemented as a measure to encourage consumption and help support customers. Business was then impacted by a second wave of COVID-19 infections, but the company subsequently bolstered its initiatives targeting social events such as the Harvest Moon, Black Friday, and Christmas, and sales are now back on a recovery track. In terms of new stores, in December the company opened the Le Chan store (Hai Phong), the sixth GMS Business store in Vietnam.

In China, sales promotions timed to coincide with the peak in demand during the Chinese New Year holiday, the time of year when sales are highest, fueled strong sales, with sales during the Chinese New Year period increasing 5% year on year. After the Chinese New Year, although sales of apparel as well as household and recreational products declined due to the spread of COVID-19, food sales grew substantially due to more opportunities for people to eat

8

meals at home and bulk-buying of groceries. Because infection was subsequently contained, sales in April and May exceeded the prior-year level, but sales were then impacted by changes in shopping behavior, including the further shift to online shopping and the rapid expansion of bulk-buying, as well as the spreading once again of COVID-19 infections in some regions starting in June. In response to the changes in shopping behavior, the Aeon app service was introduced for all stores in China, the company worked to offer information and services drawing on Aeon's strength of possessing brick-and-mortar stores, and substantially expanded the introduction of self-checkout registers.

3) Implementation of Corporate Governance During the Period

With the 2003 Commercial Code amendment targeting open management on par with companies around the world, Aeon became one of the first Japanese companies to transition to a "company with committees" structure (now "company with a nomination committee and other committees" structure), thereby establishing a governance structure that clearly segregates management oversight and business execution between directors and executive officers. The Board of Directors comprises seven directors, of which four directors, representing a majority, are outside directors from a wide range of industries. The Nomination Committee, Compensation Committee, and Audit Committee are each chaired by outside directors, with the goal of maintaining and further increasing transparency and fairness as well as enhancing shareholder returns. Also, in 2008, as a part of the Group's management reforms, efforts were made to build a foundation for continuous enhancement of corporate value, including the transition to being a pure holding company, in order to construct a new growth model for the Group, rebuild the business structure, and further increase the concentration and decentralization of power. In 2016, Aeon established the Basic Policy on Corporate Governance, in order to continue practicing management grounded in a long-term perspective built on Aeon's Basic Principles and Aeon's DNA of innovation.

4) Fulfillment of Corporate Social Responsibility During the Fiscal Year

In order to fulfill its social responsibility as a corporate citizen and continuously increase its corporate value, Aeon promotes sustainable management that balances the realization of a sustainable society and the Group's growth. Based on the Aeon Sustainability Principle, Aeon has positioned the environmental challenges of achieving a decarbonized society, preservation of biodiversity, and promotion of resource recycling, as well as the societal challenges of creating products and stores that meet society's expectations, engaging in fair business practices that respect human rights, and collaborating with the community as priority issues. Specific initiatives Aeon is working on include energy-saving and energy generation, as well as reduction of waste, tree-planting activities with customers and programs encouraging customers to bring their own shopping bags, sustainable procurement throughout the supply chain, and initiatives to support the reconstruction effort in the Tohoku region. Also, the Aeon 1% Club Foundation works to nurture the next generation and promote friendship and goodwill programs with other countries, while the Aeon Environmental Foundation engages in tree-planting activities and supports environmental conservation activities. All of the above initiatives are part of Aeon's wide-ranging environmental and social contribution activities.

Aeon Sustainability Principle

Aeon aims to realize a sustainable society and ensure Group growth based on our basic principle of "pursuing peace, respecting humanity, and contributing to local communities, always with the customer's point of view as its core."

In conducting activities, we will think globally and advance activities locally from both environmental and social viewpoints in actively pursuing sustainability with many different stakeholders.

Toward Realization of a Sustainable Society

  • To achieve the goals set forth in Aeon Decarbonization Vision 2050, Aeon is promoting energy-saving and shifting to renewable energy. Efforts include the introduction of on-site PPA (power purchasing agreements) for solar power generation, post-FIT electricity purchasing, and in fiscal 2020 Aeon for the first time began operating stores in which 100% of the electric power used comes from renewable energy. In recognition of these initiatives, Aeon was selected as a Climate Change A List company (the highest rating) by CDP, an NGO that conducts international environment-related surveys and discloses environmental information, for the second consecutive year.
  • In order to support the livelihoods of children and households raising children who have been forced to bear a particularly heavy burden due to COVID-19, in December Aeon teamed up with an NPO, the National Children's Cafeteria Support Center Musubie, to launch the AEON Children's Cafeteria Support Group. Aeon has been raising funds for the initiative at all Aeon Group stores and business offices nationwide in order to support the activities of children's cafeterias across Japan which have been struggling to continue their

10

normal activities to support children amid the difficult environment, and donated 35.03 million yen in February.

  • To further advance sustainable procurement, Aeon has set a new goal of shifting to raw ingredients that have been proven to be sustainable for use in Aeon's private brand Topvalu coffee and freshly brewed coffee sold at Group stores including Aeon Retail, Daiei, and Ministop stores.
  • In terms of efforts to reduce food waste, Aeon is the only retailer in Asia participating in a food waste reduction initiative carried out by the WRI (World Resources Institute), a U.S. non-profit organization that aims to reduce food waste throughout entire supply chains.
    Aeon is working on this project with 21 other companies in Japan including food manufacturers.
  • Having set a target of halving the volume of disposable plastic it uses by 2030, Aeon launched the "Bottle to Bottle Project" in February 2021, starting in the Kanto region. This project is the key pillar of Aeon's initiatives to achieve this target, and the project aims to build a resource recycling system using closed-loop recycling, in which the recycled resin from PET bottles collected from customers at Aeon's stores will be used as raw materials in Aeon products. In fiscal 2021, Aeon will establish a mechanism for recycling PET bottles collected at stores in the Kanto region into new products, and plans to expand this initiative nationwide in phases.

Great East Japan Earthquake Reconstruction Support Activities

  • The effort to assist recovery and reconstruction in areas that suffered massive damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake has reached the 10-year mark. With the aim of taking an "all of Aeon" (management and labor together) approach, in March 2012 Aeon launched the "Project AEON Joining Hands". In the 10 years since its launch, the project achieved its goals of planting 300,000 trees in coastal areas of the Tohoku region, and having 300,000 employees volunteer to help. Since fiscal 2016, Aeon has also been working on the "Aeon Future Co-creation Program", which aims to support the resolution of the region's challenges through exchange and engagement. Going forward, the Aeon Group will continue to work with the people of the Tohoku region to help realize a new stage of recovery, and contribute to a quick recovery and revitalization of the affected areas.

The increase is mainly attributable to an increase of 268,369 million yen in loans and bills discounted for banking business, an increase of 158,033 million yen in securities, and an increase of 65,572 million in cash and deposits.

Consolidated liabilities as of February 28, 2021 were 9,725,491 million yen, an increase of 512,083 million yen, or 5.6%, from February 29, 2020. The increase is mainly attributable to increases of 225,770 million yen in deposits for banking business and 120,892 million yen in bonds (including the current portion of bonds) as well as 107,085 million yen in short-term loans payable and 86,639 million yen in reserve for insurance policy liabilities due to the impact of newly consolidated companies.

Cash flow from operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was 396,461 million yen, a decrease in cash provided of 228,198 million yen, or 36.5% year on year. The decrease in cash provided is mainly attributable to the 184,246 million yen increase in cash loans and bills discounted for banking business and the 155,003 million yen decrease in notes and accounts payable - trade, which were partially offset by the increase in cash provided from the 192,869 million yen decrease in notes and accounts receivable - trade.

Cash flow from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was 341,814 million yen, an increase in cash used of 321 million, or 0.1%, year on year. The increase in cash used is mainly attributable to an increase of 45,899 million yen in acquisition of securities for banking business and a decrease of 52,131 million yen in proceeds from sales of non-current assets, which offset a decrease of 116,507 million yen in purchase of non-current assets.

Cash flow from financing activities

12

Net cash provided by financing activities was 24,290 million yen, a decrease in cash provided of 26,873 million yen, or 52.5%, year on year. The decrease in cash provided is mainly due to a decrease of 169,824 million yen in proceeds from issuance of bonds, which offset an increase of 90,224 million yen in short-term bank loans and commercial papers.

For operating results in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2022, Aeon is projecting a further improvement in profitability, and expects a V-shaped recovery back to the level of the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, prior to COVID-19. In light of the situation with infections and the possibility for accompanying changes to restrictions and measures in countries where Aeon operates, Aeon has expressed its forecasts for operating profit and lower profit lines, as ranges rather than figures.

In addition, Aeon has formulated the Aeon Group Medium-Term Management Plan, which begins in the fiscal year ending February 28, 2022. Please refer to Aeon's website for an overview of the plan.

https://www.aeon.info/ir/(Latest information)https://www.aeon.info/ir/policy/strategy/ (Medium-TermManagement Plan, sustainable management initiatives)

  1. Dividend Policy and Dividends for the Fiscal Year ended February 28, 2021 and the Fiscal Year ending February 28, 2022
    1) Basic Medium- to Long-Term Policy
    Aeon considers maintaining an optimal balance between providing shareholder returns and improving corporate value through medium- to long-term growth a key management priority, and will continue to set a dividend policy that takes consolidated operating results into consideration.

(Dividends)

Aeon has set a target of a consolidated dividend payout ratio of 30% while maintaining its annual dividend payment at or above the prior-year level and will strive for further earnings growth and shareholder returns.

(Use of internal reserves)

Aeon will utilize internal reserves as funds for growth investments essential for future business development and meet shareholder expectations through corporate value enhancement achieved from medium- to long-term growth.

  1. Dividends for the Fiscal Year Ended February 28, 2021 and Starting Date for Dividend Payments
    By resolution of the Board of Directors at a meeting held on April 9, 2021, the year-end dividend payment from retained earnings for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021 will be 18 yen per share. The total annual dividend for the fiscal year will therefore be 36 yen per share, including the interim payment of 18 yen per share. The starting date for dividend payments (effective date) is Friday, April 30, 2021.
  2. Dividend Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending February 28, 2022

13

In accordance with the basic policy outlined above, Aeon plans to pay an ordinary dividend for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2022 of 36 yen per share, consisting of an interim payment of 18 yen per share and a year-end payment of 18 yen per share.

2. Management Strategies and Policies

(1) Basic Policy on Management

Aeon's unchanging fundamental management principles are the pursuit of peace, respect for humanity, and contributions to local communities-with the customer's point of view as the core. On the basis of this philosophy, and from the viewpoint "everything we do, we do for our customers," Aeon closely watches market and customer changes and is pursuing corporate value enhancement with the aim of being a corporate group that contributes to sustainable growth and local communities from a long-term perspective.

Aeon has instituted the Aeon Code of Conduct, a set of behavior guidelines and standards for decision-making for all Group employees to follow in their daily work activities, and Aeon is instilling this code throughout the Group. On the basis of this code, Aeon will strive to achieve long-term prosperity and growth by building excellent relationships with its customers, shareholders, business partners, local communities, and employees, while continuing to offer products and services that satisfy customers.

  1. Medium-TermManagement Strategy Aeon Group's Sustainable Growth
    Aeon has been building value chains in different parts of Asia, and has grown to become a top- class super-regional retailer. In 2020, there was a significant acceleration of changes that were already underway, including big changes in consumer behavior, sentiment, and values, as a result of COVID-19, in addition to demographic changes, changes in the social environment due to climate change, the permeation of digital technology into all aspects of life, heightening health awareness, and structural changes in the competitive environment. Looking ahead to the upcoming 10 years from a medium- to long-term perspective, Aeon recognizes that it will face environmental changes that are on a completely different scale compared to the changes it has experienced in the past. The Group formulated the Aeon Group Medium-Term Management Plan looking ahead to 2025 based on its view that this tumultuous environmental change is an opportunity for dramatic growth. In this new medium-term management plan, in addition to further accelerating the "shift to regional markets", "shift to digital markets", "shift to Asian markets", and the "shift in investments" to support the other "shifts", the Aeon Group will aim to build a business foundation that facilitates sustainable growth by working on "Five Reforms" (accelerate and evolve the shift to digital, create unique value with a supply chain-focused outlook, evolve health and wellness in response to the new era, create Aeon lifestyle spheres, and further accelerate the shift to Asian markets) as strategies shared across the entire Group. By doing so, Aeon will significantly reform the Group's business structure and transform itself into a highly-profitable corporate group.

Promotion of Diversity

Aeon views promoting diversity as not just a matter of addressing social issues, but also as one of its management strategies. Aeon's basic philosophy on human resources is that discrimination based on attributes such as nationality, gender, age, physical and/or intellectual disabilities, sexual orientation, or gender identification should be eliminated, and that human resources matters should be decided based on abilities and achievements. Aeon aims to be an organization that fully utilizes the abilities of diverse human resources, boldly responds to dramatic changes in the environment, and always flexibly responds to customers' needs and continues to innovate. Aeon uses the term "Daimanzoku," which means very satisfied in Japanese, to refer to the satisfaction born from diversity management felt by employees and their family members, customers, and the company, and the Aeon Group is working on a variety of activities to create such satisfaction. Good examples of diversity management by Group companies in which efforts are rooted in local communities and take advantage of the individual

14

company's specific business characteristics are now shared among Group companies. In addition, the Group offers the "Daimanzoku College" online training programs that include level-specific training for female employees, training for the active participation of people with disabilities, and LGBT-related training. It has become easy for employees to participate in Daimanzoku College training programs from business sites throughout the country, and these programs take advantage of the Group's strengths by giving employees a chance to interact with people from across the Group and share diverse insights and connect with role models. In recognition of these initiatives, in March 2021 Aeon and Aeon Mall were selected as "Nadeshiko Brand" companies that excel in promoting the advancement of women. This marks the fourth and fifth consecutive years, respectively, for Aeon and Aeon Mall to be selected as "Nadeshiko Brand" companies.

Health Management Initiatives

Aeon promotes health management based on the belief that the promotion of employee health is the cornerstone of corporate activity, and that healthy employees are better able to provide services that contribute to the health and happiness of customers. In fiscal 2020, Aeon set a goal of reducing the number of employees who smoke by 25%, and based on this goal, 115 Aeon Group companies began prohibiting smoking during working hours and smoking on company grounds. In terms of efforts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, Aeon implemented measures to prevent COVID-19 infections, and fully subsidized the cost of influenza vaccinations. In recognition of these initiatives, in March 2021 Aeon was certified as a 2021 Company with Excellent Health Management (White 500).

3. Basic Policy Regarding Selection of Accounting Standards

The Aeon Group uses Japanese accounting standards for its financial reporting.

Regarding the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Aeon will take appropriate measures in consideration of various developments in and outside Japan.

(Segment and Other Information)

[Segment Information]

1. Overview of Reportable Segments

Aeon has adopted the "nomination committee and other committees system" as its governance model. Under the system, operational supervision and operational execution functions are explicitly divided and allocated to individual directors and executive officers. The system enables swift management decision-making by delegating significant authority to executive officers to enable them to achieve medium- and long-term targets.

Aeon's reportable segments are components of its operations about which segment-specific financial statements are available. These segments are subject to periodic examinations to enable Aeon's management to decide how to allocate resources and assess performance.

Led by Aeon Co., Ltd, a pure holding company, the Group companies conduct various business operations centering on retail store operations, including financial services operations, shopping center development operations, and services and specialty store operations.

The main operations in each reportable segment and other businesses are thus as follows.

The GMS Business includes general merchandise stores (GMS), specialty stores that sell packaged lunches and ready-to-eat meals.

The Supermarket Business includes supermarkets, discount stores, convenience stores and small-scale supermarkets

The Health & Wellness Business includes drugstores, pharmacies and other related businesses. The Financial Services Business includes credit card, fee-based services, banking, and insurance businesses.

The Shopping Center Development Business includes development and leasing of shopping centers and malls.

The Services and Specialty Store Business includes facilities management services, amusement services, food services, and specialty stores that sell family casual apparel, women's apparel, footwear, and others.

International Business includes retail stores in the ASEAN region and China.

Other Businesses include mobile marketing business, digital and other related businesses.

2. Changes in Reportable Segments

In line with organizational changes, from the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021, the Company has reclassified some subsidiaries included in "Health and Wellness" business to include them in "Services and Specialty Store" business, and some subsidiaries included in "International" business to include them in digital business in "Other". For reference, segment information for the previous fiscal year was prepared based on the current segmentation.
