Expect steady sales growth as we seek to optimize the store network through our scrap and build policy of replacing less profitable stores with better located, more profitable ones, thoroughly implement community-rooted local store management, and develop product ranges and services that cater to local demand.
Aim to achieve an operating profit margin of 15% by progressing our Ariake Project and reforming our entire supply chain. Restrict discount sales by appealing the intrinsic value of our products. Work to minimize shortages of strong-selling items and prevent the build-up of excess inventory by refining our product planning, volume planning, and inventory control processes.

UNIQLO International is the driver of FR Group growth. We expect the Greater China region, where we enjoy a strong established brand position, and the South Asia, Southeast Asia & Oceania region to continue to experience high levels of growth. We will accelerate the pace of new store openings by continuing to open 100 stores in the Greater China region and 60-70 stores in S/SE Asia & Oceania every year.
We are entering a new phase of business expansion in North America and Europe thanks to growing support among local customers for LifeWear clothing and improved profit structures in those regions. We plan to establish product lineups that are tailored to local customer needs, accelerate new store openings, and expand e-commerce operations. We aim to open 30 new stores a year each in North America and Europe.

Seek to regain GU's high growth trend by refining the brand's renowned ability to offer fashion fun at amazingly low prices. Develop even more competitive, low-priced products by creating products that satisfy mass fashion trends, refining product volume planning, and constructing production frameworks that reduce lead times.
We opened the first GU pop-up store in SoHo, New York in October 2022. We aim to create products with global customers in mind and strengthen our marketing. We will accelerate new store openings in Japan while also promoting store openings in international markets.
