JR East 3-month financial results, loss of 155.3 billion yen

For the three-month settlement of accounts until June of JR East, the final loss was 155.3 billion yen.

This is because the number of railway users has dropped significantly and the sales of station buildings and shops have fallen due to the refraining from moving due to the spread of the new coronavirus.

The deficit is the largest ever for a quarterly financial result.
