Fiscal 2026 First-half Performance Highlights

■Consolidated results: Fast Retailing reports a record performance on significant revenue and profit gains

• In the first half of FY2026, consolidated revenue rose to 2.0552 trillion yen (+14.8% year on year), business profit increased to 386.9 billion yen (+28.3%), and profit attributable to owners of the Parent expanded to 279.2 billion yen (+19.6%).
• UNIQLO operations reported revenue and profit gains across all regions thanks to our successful branding strategy, which is centered around the opening of flagship stores, and our strategic business approach to year-round products.

■UNIQLO Japan: Reports a rise in revenue and a sharp profit gain

• Revenue: 581.7 billion yen (+7.4%), business profit: 110.7 billion yen (+13.4%).
• Same-store sales expanded 6.5% thanks to strong sales of year-round products and buoyant sales of Winter ranges when the weather turned colder.
• The gross profit margin contracted by 0.2p due to a rise in cost of sales caused by a weakening in yen forward contract rates. The SG&A ratio improved by 1.2p due to lower personnel and store rent cost ratios.

■UNIQLO International: Considerable increases in both revenue and profit

• Revenue: 1.2413 trillion yen (+22.4%), business profit: 233.0 billion yen (+37.4%). Business profit margin improved by 2.1 points.
• UNIQLO's global presence is growing with the opening of more flagship and large-format stores worldwide.
• All markets reported strong sales performances, due not only to strong sales of Winter ranges, but also to efforts to enhance the appeal of year-round products.
• The Greater China region reported an increase in revenue and double-digit growth in profits. UNIQLO operations in South Korea, the Southeast Asia, Australia & India region, North America, and Europe continue to grow at a high rate, reporting double-digit revenue and profit growth in the first half.

■GU: Slight increase in revenue, significant increase in profit

• Revenue: 168.4 billion yen (+1.6%), business profit: 15.7 billion yen (+20.1%).
• This result was due to the strong sales of items that captured the latest mass fashion trends, and the strong performances of new GU stores in the Taiwan and Hong Kong markets.
• Improvements in the gross profit margin and SG&A ratio helped boost the business profit margin. The benefits of structural reforms are beginning to show, following efforts to tighten the number of products on offer by focusing on strong-selling items, as well as efforts to improve volume planning accuracy.

■Global Brands: Revenue declines and operation reports a business loss

• Revenue: 62.7 billion yen (−7.5%), business loss: 0.7 billion yen.
• The Theory operation reported a decline in revenue and a slight loss under the business profit(loss) category. Sales from Theory in the USA contracted as a result of a sluggish wholesale business, with poor-performing department stores and the closure of e-commerce outlet stores in March 2025. The USA operation also slipped into the red after recording bad debts associated with a wholesale department store partner that filed for bankruptcy.

■FY2026 consolidated estimates: Consolidated estimates revised up

• FY2026 consolidated revenue: 3.9000 trillion yen (+14.7%), consolidated business profit: 690.0 billion yen (+25.2%), consolidated operating profit: 700.0 billion yen (+24.1%), and profit attributable to owners of the Parent: 480.0 billion yen (+10.9%).
• These estimates include upward revisions of 100.0 billion yen for revenue, 40.0 billion yen for business profit, 50.0 billion yen for operating profit, and 30.0 billion yen for profit attributable to owners of the Parent.
• We forecast an annual dividend in FY2026 of 640 yen per share, split equally between interim and year-end dividends of 320 yen each. That would represent an increase in the annual dividend of 140 yen compared to FY2025.

Fiscal 2026 First-half Performance in Focus

■UNIQLO Japan: Reports a rise in revenue and a sharp profit gain

UNIQLO Japan reported an increase in revenue and a large expansion in profit in the first half of fiscal 2026, with revenue expanding to 581.7 billion yen (+7.4%) and business profit rising to 110.7 billion yen (+13.4%). First-half same-store sales (including e-commerce sales) increased by 6.5% year on year after a strategically selected lineup of year-round items helped to drive overall sales, and the onset of colder weather also generated strong sales of Winter ranges. The gross profit margin contracted by 0.2 points year on year due to the rise in cost of sales caused by weaker yen forward contract exchange rates used for procurement purposes. Meanwhile, the selling, general and administrative expense ratio improved by 1.2 points year on year, with the strong sales performance resulting in lower personnel and store rent component ratios.

■UNIQLO International: Considerable increases in both revenue and profit

UNIQLO International reported significant increases in revenue and profit in the first half of fiscal 2026, with revenue rising to 1.2413 trillion yen (+22.4%) and business profit expanding to 233.0 billion yen (+37.4%).

Breaking down the UNIQLO International performance into individual regions and markets, among UNIQLO operations in the Greater China region, the Mainland China market reported a rise in first-half revenue and double-digit year-on-year growth in first-half profit. Strong sales were recorded in the second quarter from December 2025 to February 2026 following efforts to respond to warmer weather by proactively presenting styling options for bottoms, sweatshirts/pants, casual outerwear, and other Spring and year-round items during the Chinese New Year sales period. The Hong Kong market reported a rise in first-half revenue but a decline in profit. However, profit increased year on year when royalty fees were excluded. The Taiwan market reported higher revenue and profit.

Meanwhile, UNIQLO South Korea achieved double-digit growth in both revenue and profit thanks to the successful use of digital channels to communicate strategic product information and a continued rise in support for UNIQLO primarily among younger customers. UNIQLO operations in Southeast Asia, India & Australia reported double-digit revenue and profit growth for the first half. Our decision to strategically expand Winter inventory and sales floor displays contributed to the strong sales performance. Buoyant sales of bottoms, short-sleeved knitwear, linen shirts, and other Spring Summer ranges also helped drive higher revenue and profit figures across all operations in the region.

UNIQLO North America and UNIQLO Europe continued to generate high levels of growth, reporting double-digit rises in first-half revenue and profit. The two operations recorded double-digit growth in same-store sales after HEATTECH, down, and other Winter ranges sold well and sweatshirts/pants, bottoms, and other year-round items also helped drive sales.

■GU: Slight increase in revenue, significant increase in profit

GU reported a slight rise in revenue and a double-digit expansion in profit in the first half of fiscal 2026, with revenue increasing to 168.4 billion yen (+1.6%) and business profit expanding to 15.7 billion yen (+20.1%). Revenue was supported by strong global sales of soft sheer crew neck T-shirts, gathered ballet sneakers, and other items that captured mass fashion trends and boosted brand popularity among young customers, as well as the strong sales performance of new GU stores in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The business profit margin improved on the back of improvements in the gross profit margin and the selling, general and administrative expense ratio. Those improvements were the result of ongoing operational reforms, such as the narrowing of GU product offerings and concentration on strong-selling items, as well as more accurate volume planning.

■Global Brands: Revenue declines and operation reports a business loss

In the first half of fiscal 2026, Global Brands reported a decline in revenue to 62.7 billion yen (−7.5%) and a loss of 0.7 billion yen under the business profit/loss category (compared to a 1.1 billion yen profit in the first half of fiscal 2025). This was due primarily to sluggish Theory brand sales. The overall Theory business recorded a decline in revenue and a slight business loss, mainly due to lower revenue and a business loss in Theory USA. Theory USA revenue contracted as a result of a sluggish wholesale business, with poor-performing department stores and the closure of e-commerce outlet stores in the USA in March 2025. On the profit front, the overall loss at Theory was caused primarily by the recording of bad debts after a wholesale department store partner filed for bankruptcy. Regarding other labels in the Global Brands segment, PLST reported higher revenue and double-digit profit growth in the first half thanks to strong sales of menswear items such as rayon blend shirts and Precious Knit Melton items, along with a sharp rise in e-commerce sales. Finally, our combined Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse tam.tam business reported a decline in revenue, resulting from a roughly 50% reduction in the number of stores at end-February compared to the previous year, as part of overall restructuring efforts and our drive to create a concentrated urban network. The reduction in unprofitable stores and reformed cost structures did, however, help improve the selling, general and administrative expense ratio and reduce overall losses.

■FY2026 consolidated estimates: Consolidated estimates revised up

In fiscal 2026, the Fast Retailing Group expects to achieve a record performance by reporting consolidated revenue of 3.9000 trillion yen (+14.7%), business profit of 690.0 billion yen (+25.2%), operating profit of 700.0 billion yen (+24.1%), and profit attributable to owners of the Parent of 480.0 billion yen (+10.9%). Compared to the performance estimates announced in January 2026, the new forecasts include an upward revision of 100.0 billion yen for revenue, 40.0 billion yen for business profit, 50.0 billion yen for operating profit, and 30.0 billion yen for profit attributable to owners of the Parent. These upward revisions reflect: (1) the stronger-than-anticipated first-half performance; (2) an upward revision in second-half estimates in view of the current sales environment; and (3) revised second-half exchange rate assumptions to incorporate recent yen weakness. We have also increased our expected annual dividend per share for fiscal 2026 by 100 yen, to 640 yen, which comprises interim and year-end dividends of 320 yen each. That would represent an increase in the full-year dividend of 140 yen per share compared to the previous year.

Regarding our forecasts for each of our four business segments, we expect UNIQLO International will generate double-digit revenue and profit growth in the second half of fiscal 2026 and the full fiscal year. Within that segment, markets in the Greater China region are expected to report year-on-year increases in revenue and profit in the second half of the year, and an increase in revenue and double-digit profit growth in fiscal 2026. UNIQLO operations in South Korea, the Southeast Asia, India & Australia region, North America, and Europe are all expected to continue expanding, and generate double-digit revenue and profit growth in the second half and the full business year.

At UNIQLO Japan, second-half revenue is expected to rise, and second-half business profit is forecast to hold steady at the previous year's level. While the second-half SG&A ratio is expected to improve slightly as productivity gains help reduce the personnel cost and other component ratios, the gross profit margin is forecast to deteriorate slightly as a depreciation in the yen results in higher cost of sales. Full-year estimates for UNIQLO Japan predict year-on-year growth in both revenue and profit. Meanwhile, GU is expected to report higher revenue and double-digit profit growth in the second half and for the fiscal year as a whole. Finally, the Global Brands segment is expected to generate higher revenue and profit in the second half, and a slight decline in revenue but an increase in business profit for fiscal 2026 as a whole.

Estimates incorporate some impact from the Middle East situation, based on current considerations such as higher transportation costs in some markets. For the 2026 fiscal year, we have already progressed production and taken measures on transportation, so no major impact is expected from a production and logistics perspective. If there is any significant change to the currently-assumed business environment, we will review our earnings forecasts as appropriate.

As part of its Responsible Raw Materials Procurement Policy, Fast Retailing set a goal in 2018 to procure 100% of its cotton from sources that reduce environmental impact during cultivation, and which take into consideration the labor environment of farmers. Aiming to meet this target by December 2025, Fast Retailing has now achieved this goal.

Building on this, Fast Retailing has updated the criteria for our preferred cotton. In 2026, we set a target to procure 100% of our cotton from sources which meet the new criteria by the end of December 2030.

Overview of Fast Retailing's Preferred Cotton

Fast Retailing has sourced cotton since 2018 that is grown in ways that reduce the use of water, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers during cultivation, take into consideration soil and ecosystem conservation, and respect the labor environment of farmers.

Cotton included in this approach includes recycled cotton^*1, organic cotton^*2, Fair Trade cotton^*3, cotton produced using regenerative agriculture^*4, and Better Cotton^*5, as well as cotton certified by other third‑party certification schemes such as the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol (USCTP). In addition to promoting the procurement of our preferred cotton that meets these new criteria, we will strengthen collaboration aimed at improving cotton cultivation through dialogue and engagement with third‑party certification bodies and other relevant stakeholders.

*1 Cotton certified by GRS (Global Recycled Standard) or RCS (Recycled Claim Standard)
*2 Cotton certified by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OCS (Organic Content Standard)

The partnership agreement includes a display of the name "UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium" in the ballpark.

Bringing together two world-class brands, each with loyal supporters around the globe, the alliance is the first major sports partnership for UNIQLO in the United States. Under the agreement, UNIQLO will have naming displays in various stadium locations including above the batter's eye in center field, on the facade beneath the press box, and on the grass along the baselines.

Fast Retailing has achieved its target of a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations, such as stores and main offices (Scope 1 and Scope 2). The company achieved this target in FY2025 (ending August 2025), four years ahead of its original FY2030 goal (ending August 2030).

The company established this target in 2021 as part of its efforts to accelerate the transition toward a new business model that balances sustainability with business growth. Through steady progress and implementing a range of initiatives, the company successfully achieved its target earlier than planned.

As part of its efforts to reduce GHG emissions, Fast Retailing has promoted more efficient energy use at both its stores and offices. These initiatives include controlling electricity use outside of business hours, and installing air-conditioning systems that automatically adjust to a preset temperature. In addition, the company has also actively expanded its use of renewable energy, and promoted the development of energy-efficient roadside stores as part of its store design initiatives.

As a result of these efforts, GHG emissions from the energy use at Fast Retailing's own operations such as stores and major offices were reduced by 90.3% in FY2025 (ending August 2025) compared to the FY2019 base year (ending August 2019).

Additionally, previous to this announcement, Fast Retailing raised its GHG emissions reduction target in its supply chain* (Scope 3) from 20% to 30%, in November 2025.
* Emissions related to raw material production, fabric manufacturing, and sewing of UNIQLO and GU products

In addition to reducing emissions at its own operations, Fast Retailing is working collaboratively with its production partners across the supply chain to address climate change and reduce GHG emissions.

Fast Retailing's progress toward its FY2030 Climate Change-related targets is as follows:

FY2030 Climate Change Targets and Progress

Targets 1-3 have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as science-based targets (SBT), and are in line with the level of decarbonization required to achieve the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Fast Retailing will continue its efforts toward achieving its goal of net-zero GHG emissions by 2050.

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO launched "The Heart of LifeWear" initiative in winter 2024, donating one million new items of HEATTECH thermal clothing to refugees, children, disaster victims, and other people in difficult situations around the world as a support measure to make their lives a little more comfortable. For 2025, UNIQLO made an additional donation of one million items.

Commenting on the initiative, Koji Yanai, Senior Group Executive Officer at Fast Retailing Co. Ltd, the parent company of UNIQLO, said, "In the 2025 fall/winter season, the second year of The Heart of LifeWear program, we donated more than one million items of HEATTECH in areas around the world thanks to the cooperation of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency; international NGOs; and Toray Industries; as well as our business partners, Global Brand Ambassadors, employees, and everyone who supports this activity. There are many people in need of urgent support in Syria and other places where international assistance has difficulty reaching. With everyone's cooperation, we will continue to deliver even more UNIQLO LifeWear to people around the world in need of clothing, and conduct activities that support dignity for people and their capacity to live."

Total of 100,000 items donated to children's homes in Japan, and areas affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake
In the fall/winter 2025 season, UNIQLO donated a total of 100,000 HEATTECH products throughout Japan to children's homes, children living with illness and their families, disaster victims, and people with disabilities. On October 12, the JFA UNIQLO Soccer Kids in Ishikawa (Noto) program was held at the Ishikawa sports ground of Japan Aviation High School, an area impacted by the 2024 Noto earthquake. JFA UNIQLO Soccer Kids Captain Atsuto Uchida enjoyed a day of soccer with the children and handed out HEATTECH donations to participants. On December 6th, sumo stablemasters and wrestlers from Ishikawa Prefecture, including Kitajin-oyakata, stablemaster and recently retired sumo wrestler from Anamizu, visited the city of Nomi in Ishikawa, where many evacuees from the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake now reside, to personally deliver HEATTECH. In addition, continuing from 2024, UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassadors Shingo Kunieda, Kei Nishikori, and Ayumu Hirano also participated in activities in Japan, visiting children's homes and welfare facilities, handing out gifts and donating HEATTECH to warm people's hearts.

In cooperation with UNHCR, 500,000 items donated to Syrian returnees facing extreme cold
UNIQLO, at the request of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, with which it has a global partnership, donated 500,000 items of HEATTECH to returnees in Syria. According to UNHCR, since the collapse of the Assad regime in December 2024, around 1.35 million refugees have returned to Syria,^* mainly from neighboring countries. Many parts of Syria are experiencing near freezing temperatures daily, forcing people to live in precarious conditions with extreme cold. Through UNHCR, UNIQLO has delivered 500,000 items of HEATTECH with the aim of contributing to a safe and dignified life for these returnees. UNIQLO also delivered more than 500,000 items for projects around the world to help people in need, including disaster victims, the homeless, the poor, and children in socially disadvantaged situations.

The Heart of LifeWear activities
The Heart of LifeWear initiative originated with UNIQLO considering the question "What makes life better?" and asking how, in its 40th anniversary year, the brand could take further concrete action to contribute to society through LifeWear. Each year since, UNIQLO has donated more than one million items of HEATTECH, AIRism and other products to people in need around the world.

UNIQLO, the Japanese global apparel retailer, announces today a unique new partnership with Emma Raducanu, Britain's top-ranked female tennis player, and 2021 US Open winner-the first British woman to win a Grand Slam singles title since 1977. Raducanu joins UNIQLO as its newest Global Brand Ambassador and will represent UNIQLO at all tennis tournaments starting with the Indian Wells Open in the US in March.

Raducanu will work alongside other UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassadors, including tennis and wheelchair-tennis legends Roger Federer and Shingo Kunieda, and Academy-Award-winning actor Cate Blanchett, to promote UNIQLO's LifeWear philosophy, which emphasizes the continuous pursuit of excellence, positive contribution to society, and support of the next generation. She will also work actively on designs and functions of her on-court apparel.

Speaking of the announcement, Raducanu said, "I am very pleased to join UNIQLO and to work closely with its amazing team of Global Brand Ambassadors. UNIQLO and I share many values and perspectives on life, culture, and society. I am excited to promote LifeWear through my tennis career, and to working with everybody at UNIQLO to inspire and engage young people everywhere."

Commenting on the announcement, Koji Yanai, Group Senior Executive Officer, Fast Retailing, said, "We are honored to welcome Ms. Raducanu to UNIQLO as a Global Brand Ambassador. Even under intense pressure, she consistently demonstrates a bold and proactive mindset, embracing challenge with determination. Off court, she is an intelligent and well-read young person who values her connection to family and friends. We believe she will be an exceptional ambassador and look forward to making positive change together in the world."

As UNIQLO Global Brand Ambassador, Raducanu's primary role will be to represent UNIQLO and to promote LifeWear internationally through her tennis career. She will play an active role in designing her on-court apparel, and will participate in community-engagement activities worldwide, such as UNIQLO Next Generation Development Program coaching events for skilled young tennis players or young players from underserved areas, and support for communities in need through UNIQLO Peace for All and The Heart of LifeWear initiatives.
