A BUSINESS

THAT BENEFITS SOCIETY

06



We believe it is possible to make the world a better place through the creation and selling of truly good clothes.

Good clothes are simple, high quality, highly functional, durable, and long lasting. They enrich the daily lives of people everywhere. Good clothes are also state of the art and environmentally sustainable. These clothes are made and delivered by diverse and engaged staff working in environments that vigorously protect health, safety, and human rights. LifeWear is the physical embodiment of this approach. We leverage our deep involvement in both the retail and manufacturing of clothing to create LifeWear that exceeds our customers' expectations through sustainable supply chains.

To ensure customers wear LifeWear for longer, we focus on repairing, recycling, and reusing clothes, as well as developing circular products. We also strive to promote sustainable social development by engaging customers and local communities in collaborative activities. These activities include supporting refugees, nurturing future generations, and promoting culture, art, and sport.

Continuously contributing to a better world

CEO MESSAGE

The Dawn of a New Clothing Era

Tadashi Yanai

Chairman, President and CEO

Global clothing standards are changing dramatically. Gone are the days when shoppers sought instant glamour and novelty, and overproduction and large-scale disposal were considered normal. Today, people only purchase essential clothes for comfortable everyday life, the clothes they truly need and want. It has become increasingly common for people to wear for years quality clothes that have been procured and produced using efficient, safe, and fair methods, and they expect those clothes to be recycled or reused wherever possible.

We have entered a new clothing era, on a global scale. Fast Retailing is perfectly positioned because we do not make disposable clothing. We carefully make timeless, durable items from quality materials - LifeWear epitomizes this.

Our approach is earning solid, widespread customer support worldwide. In the year ended August 31, 2025, Fast Retailing reported its fourth consecutive year of record growth, with revenue totaling ¥3.4005 trillion (+9.6% year on year) and business profit reaching ¥551.1 billion (+13.6%), thanks to growing global customer support for new global clothing standards set by LifeWear.

The evolution of AI-driven information technology has created a single global market. Management strategies used to focus on individual markets, but now the assumption is that everything is global. We are expected not only to create truly great products, but also to operate as a dependable company that is demonstrably useful to society. We see this as a huge opportunity. Originating in Japan, Fast Retailing has grown into a ¥3 trillion business, and we are still expanding, with our sights currently on ¥5 trillion and then ¥10 trillion in sales. We are committed to overturning conventional wisdom, creating a completely new clothing industry, and making customers' lives more enjoyable, comfortable and convenient. We will continue our quest to become a truly global company that customers everywhere need in their lives.

からのメッセージ



LifeWear:

Infinite Possibilities

The Democratization of Clothing

*Published by the leading global branding consultancy, Interbrand

Fast Retailing has always pursued business based on its mission to make the world a better place through clothes. I am a firm believer that everyone across the world has a right to wear clothes that have been carefully designed and carefully produced using high-quality materials. I call this the democratization of clothing.

Until UNIQLO came on the scene, clothing items made from great materials that offered high functionality and sophisticated designs were exclusive and expensive. We opened up this clothing to everyone. Today, we offer sophisticated simplicity in the design of high-quality, comfortable and carefully crafted clothes at affordable prices.

My hope is that by changing clothes, we can change everyday life and ultimately change the world. LifeWear has made that hope achievable.

Growing global support for LifeWear is creating something of a worldwide UNIQLO boom. UNIQLO rose to No. 47 in the Best Global Brands 2025,* its highest ranking ever, and Fast Retailing and UNIQLO have been widely covered in mainstream media around the world, including 'The New York Times' and 'The New Yorker' in the USA, and 'The Times' in the UK. This is testament to the growing global customer support for LifeWear and to the infinite possibilities of LifeWear itself.

CEO MESSAGE

UNIQLO Meir store (Belgium)

Creating Meaningful Stores

Our stores are extremely effective at conveying the value of LifeWear to customers. Communication with customers in our roughly 3,500 stores is the source of all sorts of information and the foundation of our business. Our global store network is our greatest strength. We exceed our customers' expectations by offering optimal product lineups, colors, and sizes at each store based on local needs. Our strategy is to create genuinely meaningful stores that offer enjoyable shopping experiences and useful services for all customers.

One such store is UNIQLO Meir, which was opened in Antwerp, Belgium in September 2025. UNIQLO designs

complement the exquisite 16th-century interior of this elegant flagship, creating a perfect blend of traditional and modern. Thanks to community collaborations, local customers immediately feel at home.

If we can create more meaningful stores, with close community links and unique local experiences, then our potential is limitless. These stores will be a medium for showcasing our brand philosophy. They will also drive a virtuous cycle of future market expansion by linking with our e-commerce operations and encouraging customer communication.

We intend to accelerate the opening of flagship stores like UNIQLO Meir worldwide.

11



Aiming for Global No. 1

Toward ¥1 Trillion Each in Europe and North America

UNIQLO Europe and North America operations are propelling Fast Retailing's quest to become the No. 1 global brand. Revenue has grown by 30-50% each year since FY2022. Meanwhile, business profit has quadrupled. Combined Europe and North America sales of ¥640.6 billion and business profits of ¥98.5 billion are on par with the Greater China region. I feel that customers there are starting to truly embrace LifeWear.

Our share of the European and North American markets is less than 0.5%, so there is enormous room to grow. We want to swiftly achieve ¥1 trillion in sales in each market by accelerating the opening

of flagship stores that embody the UNIQLO brand, enhancing product development based on local customer feedback, reforming supply chains, and developing global talent.

Our Japanese market share is over 10%, which suggests latent demand for LifeWear elsewhere is considerable.

European and North American customers are starting to understand LifeWear, so it is the perfect time to accelerate growth. We will actively invest. Modern fashion was born in Europe and North America. If we can become the premier clothing company there, we should be able to expand anywhere.

A New Period of Growth in Asia

With our Asian business entering a new period of growth, we are increasing investment. In Japan, our original market, we must become the undisputed No. 1 brand. We are promoting independent store management and low-cost management to achieve sustainable revenue growth and strong profit margins of 15% or higher. GU, Theory and other Group brands all have great potential, so we will boost their share of sales in Japan.

Japan once grappled with chain store limitations, but kick-started renewed growth by introducing independent store management, where employees are trained to consider the customer first when devising optimal product lineups

and store displays. This is empowering quick movement along the same path in Mainland China, where we are channeling our strength into enlivening regional areas, winning over customers, and building profitable stores, unaffected by broader economic trends.

CEO MESSAGE

Having generated double-digit revenue growth for the four years since FY2022, Southeast Asia, India and Australia harbor even greater potential. We will enhance management teams and swiftly achieve

¥100 billion sales in each country by transforming business structures to create product lineups, marketing, stores, and

e-commerce operations that satisfy tropical climate needs.

The first flagship store in Southwest China, the UNIQLO Chengdu store, opened in May 2025. Over 1,000 customers gathered on the hugely successful opening day, which featured a popular limited UTme! T-shirt collaboration with local artists created designs featuring pandas and Sichuan dishes.

Strong Team Management

Global One and

ZEN-IN KEIEI

Global One and ZEN-IN KEIEI management is vital to future growth. It requires all employees worldwide to gain a clear understanding of our common direction and satisfy customer demands by offering the best products and services from a global perspective. All employees manage operations as a team and implement best global practice across the Group.

Our managers must apply judgment criteria based on the global marketplace. Many employees with future executive potential offer excellent capabilities and insight in every region. They identify and solve problems in teams, looking at actual

products and conditions in individual frontline markets. Going forward, we will focus on developing product ranges and talent tailored to each market. To ensure best management in every market, we will create teams that deeply understand our roots as a Japanese company and local conditions.

Our people are key to our operational growth. We will accelerate our talent selection processes and invest further in human resource training to create a globally proficient workforce with similar values and aspirations to our own, and the ability to serve society well.

14



CEO MESSAGE

Moving Our Succession Plan Forward

All public companies with global reach have a duty to ensure stable continuity. Our current management team is extremely loyal, with members who possess 20-30 years of experience. I want these members to achieve even more than I have.

We are making steady progress on ensuring this succession. Daily management decisions are already made by the people in charge of each operation, and we have formed a strong management team structure centered around Daisuke Tsukagoshi, who has been appointed Fast Retailing Director and COO. These days,

my role is to set the company's general direction and oversee the development of future executives.

In addition, Kazumi Yanai and Koji Yanai will be responsible for ensuring solid corporate governance, and therefore expected to make proper governance suggestions that ensure our company is managed in the right way and benefits society. We are a public company with a steadfast founding family, and I want to ensure the positive elements of family company management are incorporated and contribute to balanced future management.

15



Creating a Better Society

The Mission of a Global Leader

Making the world a better place through our business - that is our ultimate purpose. It is vitally important to confirm whether our business makes customers' lives more convenient and comfortable and whether our jobs help to improve our society. All companies pursue profits, but we want our success to contribute to prosperity in all aspects of society, which is why our simultaneous pursuit of business expansion and social contribution is vital.

The conditions that society expects companies to fulfill are changing significantly. Before people explore a product's functionality or quality, they



consider whether a company or brand contributes positively to society and does things the right way. Customers will not buy a company's products if it does not follow good business practices.

From early on, we have sought to demonstrate social leadership as a global company, considering worker environments and human rights in factories across all production processes, promoting clothes recycling and reuse initiatives that help create a circular society, supporting refugees through our partnership with UNHCR (the UN Refugee Agency) and promoting our PEACE FOR ALL charity T-shirt project.

Becoming the No. 1 global company means earning recognition as the world's most socially beneficial company. We will work tirelessly to create a society that supports peaceful, stable, and sustainable development.

Total donations from T-shirt sales

(through end December 2025)

¥2,883,233,700

This project features UNIQLO graphic T-shirts with designs expressing a wish for peace, provided voluntarily by collaborators with close ties to UNIQLO who support the aim of "taking action with a desire for world peace." All profits from the T-shirt sales are donated to international humanitarian organizations.





CEO MESSAGE

THE FAST RETAILING WAY- FR Group Corporate Philosophy

Changing clothes.

Changing conventional wisdom. Change the world.

GROUP MISSION

To create truly great clothing with new and unique value, and to enable people all over the world to experience the joy, happiness and satisfaction of wearing such great clothes

To enrich people's lives through our unique corporate activities, and to seek to grow and develop our company in unity with society

Bringing the World Together

The apparel industry depends on peace. Companies can only grow sustainably in an affluent, stable, and peaceful world.

In recent years, we have witnessed divisive developments on the global stage. There is historical precedent for trade disruptions leading to conflict. In an era when confrontation between major powers is casting a shadow on the global economy, entrepreneurs like ourselves must work even harder to bring people together through business.

Thanks to advancements in information technology, anyone can access a world of information on their phone. You can find out instantly what life is like anywhere. People's values are converging rapidly, and regional fashion preferences are less marked. For

instance, products that sell well in Europe or North America now tend to sell well in Japan or Southeast Asia, and vice versa. These changing times are partly responsible for the strong and growing support among customers around the world for LifeWear, ultimate everyday clothing that makes everyone's lives more enjoyable and comfortable.

There is a huge market of eight billion people out there, which offers amazing opportunities for incomparable growth beyond the conventional idea of apparel. We will never be complacent as we tackle every challenge in our quest to change clothes, change conventional wisdom, and change the world. We will continue to do our utmost to make the world a better place.

LifeWear, Constantly Evolving

Our LifeWear concept is central to all clothing that the Fast Retailing Group offers. LifeWear is constantly evolving in response to changing customer needs, with a great deal of attention being paid to high-quality materials, beautiful and simple designs, and minute details that make clothes more comfortable and functional. Our daily clothing essentials have the power to enrich lives and improve society.

LifeWear stems from the careful consideration of different people's lives worldwide, and that is why it will continue to be indispensable.

Growing Together With

LifeWear

The Source of Our Global Expansion

The development of Fast Retailing and LifeWear has been fueled by our founding belief that great clothes should be simple, functional, and constantly evolving in order to increase customer comfort. Here, we tell the story of

Fast Retailing's journey so far and our aspirations for the future.



1st Frontier

1984 2004

2nd Frontier

2005 2012

Full-fledged expansion into international markets to become a global brand

The year 2005 marked the true beginning of our development into a global brand. Our first store outside Japan opened in London in 2001 but, while initially crowded, it quickly lost momentum. Progress stalled until our 2005 breakthrough in Hong Kong and Shanghai. The subsequent 2006 opening of the UNIQLO Soho New York global flagship store proved a triumph, aided by our intentional highlighting of both Japanese culture and UNIQLO's originality. That success solidified our global flagship store strategy. By opening new global flagship stores in major cities, including London, Paris, and Shanghai between 2006 and 2010, our international expansion journey began in earnest.

Creating a place full of things you want to buy as a basis for UNIQLO business

In 1984, Fast Retailing opened the first UNIQLO store in Hiroshima as a sort of "clothing warehouse." It was a great success, but the underlying model - buying products from manufacturers in bulk to sell at low prices - reached its limit in two years. In 1987, we switched to a specialty retailer of private-label apparel (SPA) model that combined manufacturing and retailing, letting us offer products that customers really wanted. We maintained quality, kept prices low, and generated value by controlling everything ourselves. We changed conventional clothing wisdom with our fleece, HEATTECH, and Bra Top ranges, and established the fundamental elements of UNIQLO's MADE FOR ALL ethos: customer-centric business, commitment to quality, and stunning displays.

20



3rd Frontier

2013 2022

4th Frontier

LifeWear, CONSTANTLY EVOLVING

2023

Becoming the world's best-loved brand

In FY2023, UNIQLO International sales accounted for over half of total Group sales for the first time. The foundations for consistent business expansion in North America and Europe have now been established, and the stage is set for UNIQLO to become a truly global brand. People's expectations around clothing are changing dramatically, and LifeWear is earning a reputation as the new clothing standard. To explore LifeWear's immense potential, we will focus even more strongly on global expansion. We will continue to offer valuable products that enhance customers' lives, while consistently contributing to society through our business activities. This is all part of our aim to become the world's most-trusted brand, one that everyone can feel comfortable buying from anytime and anywhere.

Creating a new industry

based on the LifeWear concept

In 2013, we unveiled the LifeWear concept, accelerating our global expansion and challenging conventional clothing wisdom. LifeWear advances our MADE FOR ALL ethos by looking beyond clothes as products and creating a new kind of industry that encompasses the way clothes are manufactured, sold, and used after purchase. In 2016, we launched the Ariake Project to help perfect LifeWear. Subsequent companywide reforms, including to our supply chain, helped establish the foundations for a digital consumer retail company. This model utilizes customer feedback to produce and sell the exact volume of the specific products that customers want, exactly when they want them. The end of each new frontier period was marked by a tripling of revenue as affinity for LifeWear expanded worldwide.

21

Our Philosophy

1

Our MADE FOR ALL Ethos

We offer excellent clothes that everyone will want to wear. Our inclusive apparel transcends individual differences.

This is the idea behind our MADE FOR ALL ethos.

What is MADE FOR ALL?

Everyone's Clothing of Choice

Food, clothing, and shelter: three essential needs. Clothing is part of the essential fabric of our lives. Our LifeWear clothes are simple. That is because we want to highlight the individuality of wearers, rather than highlight the

clothing. We view clothes as components of personal style that the wearer can mix and match at will. LifeWear is a new type of clothing created by the values of the wearer, not the manufacturer. This timeless clothing concept means that LifeWear is popular with different people, regardless of age, gender, or location. We seek to make LifeWear accessible to our customers, and to ensure it enriches daily life.

22



LifeWear, CONSTANTLY EVOLVING

Affordable Clothes for All

LifeWear is based on our customers' needs. We strive each day to deliver clothes to customers in the most convenient and efficient way possible. That means offering the right products at the right time, place, quantity, and price. We can sell our products to customers at affordable prices because of their wide appeal. We capitalize on

economies of scale to purchase high-quality materials at reasonable prices. This allows us to pass on this quality and these savings to customers. We are also pursuing our Ariake Project goals and implementing supply chain and other companywide reforms that will make our clothing even more accessible to everyone around the world.

Growing Global Support for Our Clothes

LifeWear is sold in 27 markets (as of end August 2025).

We aim to make clothes that are useful to people everywhere and make their lives more comfortable.

Respecting diverse values, cultures, and local history is part of whom we are. We value individuality and different ways of thinking. That approach has facilitated the creation of clothing that is MADE FOR ALL. LifeWear is enjoying growing global support because it enables

people to choose well-fitting, comfortable clothes that suit their changing lifestyles. We aim to offer LifeWear that meets the needs of this current era to even more people worldwide.

23



Our Philosophy

2

LifeWear: Built on Trust

We develop truly good clothes based on customer needs that offer new types of value. Our LifeWear is created through cooperative

relationships with like-minded partner factories and fabric manufacturers.

24





Unmatched Trust With Production Partners

We began designing and manufacturing our own products in 1987. Ever since, we have considered our long-standing partnerships with trusted production facilities to be a major asset. Our team of master Takumi artisans are experts in Japanese textiles. They work hard to improve product quality by providing on-site technical guidance to production partners. This guidance builds strong bonds of trust. Direct employee visits, which promote workplace safety and ensure product quality, are essential to building win-win relationships with production partners. By cooperating with our partners on responses to climate change and working to uphold human rights, we will continue to improve LifeWear together.

Cooperative Strategic Partnerships

Another LifeWear strength lies in our cooperation with leading companies and individuals who share our philosophy and aspirations. For instance, we have successfully developed new materials and created inimitable and competitive products by collaborating with companies that possess advanced material development technology. Since entering a strategic partnership with Toray Industries in 2006, we have created multiple hit ranges including HEATTECH, AIRism, Recycled Down, and PUFFTECH. Customers also love UNIQLO's 3D Knit range made using WHOLEGARMENT® technology developed with SHIMA SEIKI MFG, and they look forward to our collaborations with world-renowned designers.

How We Perfect LifeWear

Customer-centric Clothes Creation

LifeWear, CONSTANTLY EVOLVING

Our LifeWear concept encompasses more than just the clothing product. It is about creating a new kind of industry that involves the manufacture and sale of clothing, an exciting shopping experience for customers, and the reusing, recycling, and upcycling of clothes. We utilize our e-commerce operation, and the information network from over 3,500 stores worldwide, to quickly grasp customer needs so we can design, produce, and sell the products that people really want. By connecting directly with customers and promoting close two-way communication, we create products inspired by customer needs and desires. Creating this kind of digital consumer retailing company lets us continually improve LifeWear.



25



Our Philosophy

A New Industry

of Growth

and Sustainability

Our LifeWear concept is not based solely on clothes as products.

It also encompasses the creation of a new kind of industry that extends from the production of clothes to the recycling and upcycling of

those clothes after they are no longer needed.

Supporting a Sustainable Society

We are convinced that continuing to place value on our LifeWear concept will help both to create a sustainable society and to grow our business.

The process of creating LifeWear helps reduce waste wherever possible by making and selling only the items that customers really need in exactly the right volumes. We are establishing a manufacturing model with low environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste in all processes, from production through transportation and retail. We are also strengthening our commitment to human rights throughout our supply chain, giving customers greater peace of mind. In addition, we take responsibility for clothes

even after they are sold by developing innovative reuse, recycle, and upcycle services and technologies for sustaining LifeWear. To help solve increasingly complex social issues, we will globally expand our contributions to society through our clothing business and diversity initiatives.

By establishing a circular economy for clothing, we intend to create a richer, more sustainable society. This goal is based upon the LifeWear values of respecting the diversity of all people, supporting communities, and contributing to society. We will build a better future through the power of clothing.
