    2. Financial Analysis

      1. Financial Position and Results of Operations

        (ⅰ) Results of Operations

        The Fast Retailing Group achieved a record corporate performance, reporting significant increases in revenue and profit in the first half of fiscal 2026, or the six months from 1 September 2025 to 28 February 2026. Consolidated revenue totaled 2.0552 trillion yen (+14.8% year-on-year) and business profit, which is calculated by subtracting cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses from consolidated revenue, rose to 386.9 billion yen (+28.3% year-on-year). Support for the UNIQLO

        brand is expanding around the globe as a result of our branding strategy, which centers around the opening of flagship stores in key locations. UNIQLO business in all regions reported higher revenue and profit thanks to strong sales not only of Winter products but also of year-round products updated with on-trend silhouettes and materials. Fast Retailing’s consolidated gross profit margin improved by 0.8 points year-on-year to 54.1%. The selling, general and administrative expense ratio improved by 1.2 points year-on-year to 35.3%. We recorded 28.1 billion yen under finance income net of costs, comprising 23.1 billion yen in

        interest income net of expenses and 5.0 billion yen from foreign exchange gains on foreign-currency denominated assets. As a

        result, first-half profit before income taxes increased to 428.8 billion yen (+17.9% year-on-year) and profit attributable to owners of the Parent increased to 279.2 billion yen (+19.6% year-on-year) for the period.

        The Fast Retailing Group is focusing on a number of areas as part of its endeavor to become the world’s No.1 brand; an essential part of everyday life that is trusted by all customers around the world. These measures include (1) Strengthening the training of management talent, (2) Pursuing a business model in which the development of business contributes to sustainability, (3) Meeting customer needs and creating new customers, (4) Diversifying global earnings pillars, (5) Expanding GU and our Global Brands, and (6) Reforming cost structures to suit an inflationary era. In particular, we aim to continue to open new high-quality stores and enhance our product development and branding at UNIQLO International as the growth pillar of the Fast Retailing Group. We are also committed to creating LifeWear in order to help build a sustainable society. Our aim is to create high-quality clothing that lasts a long time, has a lower impact on the planet, is made in healthy and safe working environments, and ultimately can be

        recycled or reused.

        UNIQLO Japan

        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% year-on-year) and business profit rising to 110.7 billion yen (+13.4% year-on-year). First-half same-store sales (including e-commerce sales) increased by 6.5% year-on-year, with a strategically selected lineup of year-round items helping to drive overall sales, and the onset of colder weather also generating strong sales of Winter products. 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

        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% year-on-year) and business profit expanding to 233.0 billion yen (+37.4% year-on-year).

        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 business in 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, and Australia reported double-digit revenue and profit

        growth for the first half. Our decision to strategically expand inventories of Winter products and sales floor displays contributed to the strong sales performance. Buoyant sales of bottoms, short-sleeved knitwear, linen shirts, and other Spring Summer products also helped drive higher revenue and profit figures across all operations in the region.

        UNIQLO business in North America and UNIQLO business in Europe continued to generate high levels of growth by reporting double-digit growth in first-half revenue and profit. The two operations recorded double-digit growth in same-stores after

        HEATTECH, down, and other Winter products sold extremely well, while sweatshirts/pants, bottoms, and other year-round items also helped drive sales.

        GU

        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% year-on-year) and business profit expanding to 15.7 billion yen (+20.1% year-on-year). 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 people, 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

        In the first half of fiscal 2026, Global Brands reported a decline in revenue to 62.7 billion (−7.5% year-on-year) 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. A decline in sales and a business loss at Theory business in USA was largely responsible for the decline in Theory revenue, which pushed the operation marginally to a loss position. Theory business in 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 customer 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, owing to a reduction in the number of stores at end-February by roughly 50% compared to the previous year, as part of overall restructuring efforts and our drive to create a concentrated urban network. However, the reduction in unprofitable stores and reformed cost structures help improve the selling, general and administrative expense ratio and reduce overall losses.

        Sustainability

        Fast Retailing is advancing its LifeWear concept—the ultimate in everyday clothing, designed to make everyone's life better—to create apparel that emphasizes quality, design and price, as well as being environmentally friendly, protecting human rights and contributing to society. The main sustainability activities in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 are as follows.

        • Fully Achieving Our Target Cotton Procurement by the End of December 2025

          Based on our Responsible Raw Material Procurement Policy, we set a goal in 2018 to increase the proportion of cotton procured from farms that reduce their environmental impact in the cultivation process and have consideration for the labor conditions for farmers to 100% by the end of December 2025, and we have been working toward this goal since then. As a result, we achieved this goal by the end of December 2025.

          We have updated the criteria for our preferred cotton beginning in 2026 based on these efforts. Under our new standards, we will procure only cotton that has been certified by third-party certification bodies and other organizations with specialized knowledge. In addition, we will enhance our collaboration with third-party certification bodies and other organizations to improve cotton cultivation through dialogue and engagement. Our goal is to source 100% of our cotton according to these new standards by 2030, and we are taking measures to achieve this.

        • Achieving Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Targets 4 Years Ahead of Schedule

          We have set targets to achieve a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from our self-managed facilities, such as stores and offices, compared to the fiscal year ended August 2019 and a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions across our supply chain (raw material production, material production, and sewing of UNIQLO and GU products) by the fiscal year ending August 2030. We have introduced renewable energy at our self-managed facilities, and at the factories of UNIQLO and GU’s major suppliers. We have also implemented numerous initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of these initiatives, for the

          fiscal year ended August 2025, we have reduced greenhouse gas emissions from our self-managed facilities by 90.3% compared to the fiscal year ended August 2019, achieving our goal 4 years ahead of schedule. In addition, we reduced greenhouse gas emissions in our supply chain by 19.9% compared to the fiscal year ended August 2019, largely achieving our goal of a 20% reduction. In November 2025, we raised our goal for supply chain greenhouse gas emission reduction from the previous goal of 20% to 30%.

        • Achieving a High Rating in an External Assessment of Respect for Human Rights and Labor Conditions and the Promotion of Diversity

          We continue to enhance our efforts to respect human rights and labor conditions. In recent years, we have been focusing on strengthening our due diligence framework for human rights in our supply chain, enhancing traceability and transparency, and improving our complaint resolution mechanisms while providing effective remedies. In an assessment of these initiatives, we ranked 2nd in the apparel sector and 11th overall out of 105 companies in the 2026 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark (CHRB) assessment conducted by the World Benchmarking Alliance (WBA).

          As we continue to expand our business globally, we are working to enhance our worldwide diversity and inclusion initiatives in our workplace, customer experience, and communities in order to create an environment that welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and characteristics, and respects differing opinions and individuality. In particular, we were recognized for our promotion of gender-neutral marketing, ranking 4th in the apparel sector and 5th overall out of 105 companies in the 2026 Gender Benchmark assessment, which was also conducted by the WBA.

        • Good Corporate Governance

        To enable rapid and transparent management, we have a number of committees engaged in open and active discussions. In the Human Rights Committee, in addition to reports on the results of our human rights due diligence in our Japan and US operations, we presented findings from labor environment monitoring in our supply chain and the results of our hotline for factory workers, and discussed the respective challenges and our response policies. In the Risk Management Committee, we hold discussions on cybersecurity risks and countermeasures, and work to enhance our systems for preventing and detecting cyberattacks, as well as for quickly resolving incidents and ensuring business continuity in the event of an attack.

      Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
      1. Reporting Entity

        FAST RETAILING CO., LTD. is a company incorporated in Japan. The locations of the registered headquarters and principal offices of the Company are disclosed on the Group’s website (http://www.fastretailing.com/eng/).

        The principal activities of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are the operations of the UNIQLO business (i.e., casual clothing retail business operating under the “UNIQLO” brand in Japan and overseas), GU business (i.e., casual clothing retail business operating under the “GU” brand in Japan and overseas) and Theory business (i.e., apparel design and retail business in Japan and overseas), etc.

      2. Basis of Preparation

        The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The Group meets all of the criteria of a “specified company” defined under Article 1-2 of the Consolidated Quarterly Financial Statements Rules and accordingly, applies Article 312 of the Consolidated Quarterly Financial Statements Rules. Since the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required for consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.

        The interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved on 9 April 2026 by Tadashi Yanai Chairman, President and CEO, and Takeshi Okazaki, Group Executive Vice President and CFO.

      3. Changes in accounting policies

        Material Accounting Policies applied in the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement are the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the previous consolidated fiscal year.

      4. Use of Estimates and Judgments

        The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

        The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The effects of the review of accounting estimates are recognized in the accounting period in which the estimates were reviewed and in future accounting periods.

        In principle, estimates and judgments that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those in the preceding fiscal year.

      5. Segment Information

        1. Description of reportable segments

          The Group’s reportable segments are components for which discrete financial information is available and reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) to make decisions about the allocation of resources and to assess performance.

          The Group’s main retail clothing business is divided into four reportable operating segments: UNIQLO Japan, UNIQLO International, GU and Global Brands, each of which is used to frame and form the Group’s strategy.

          The main businesses covered by each reportable segment are as follows:

          UNIQLO Japan: UNIQLO clothing business within Japan

          UNIQLO International: UNIQLO clothing business outside of Japan GU: GU clothing business in Japan and overseas

          Global Brands: Theory, PLST, COMPTOIR DES COTONNIERS and PRINCESSE TAM.TAM clothing business

        Notes concerning financial assets and financial liabilities for which carrying amount approximates fair value have been omitted. The fair value of bonds is calculated with reference to publicly available market prices.

        The fair value of security deposits and guarantees is calculated on the basis of the present value, applying the current market interest rate.

        The fair value of corporate bonds is calculated with reference to publicly available market prices.

        The fair value measurements of bonds, security deposits / guarantees, and corporate bonds are categorized as level 2.

        The following tables illustrate the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial instruments. All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the interim condensed financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy based on the following characteristics:

        Level 1 - based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

        Level 2 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is observable, either directly or indirectly

        Level 3 - based on valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

        When multiple inputs are used to measure fair value, the fair value level is determined based on the input with the lowest level categorization in the overall fair value assessment.

        The following tables illustrate the fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s financial instruments:

        For the valuation of Level 2 derivative financial instruments for which a market value is available, we use a valuation model that uses observable data on the measurement date using inputs such as interest rates, yield curves, currency rates and volatility in comparable instruments.

        Financial instruments categorized as Level 3 consist mainly of unlisted shares. The fair values of unlisted shares are measured by the division responsible in the Group according to the Group’s accounting policy, etc., using the immediately preceding figures available for each quarter.

        There were no significant changes due to the purchase, sale, issuance and settlement of Level 3 financial instruments, and no transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 28 February 2026, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month period then ended in accordance with

International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" pursuant to the provisions of Article 312 of the Ordinance on Terminology, Forms and Preparation Methods of Consolidated Financial Statements.

Basis for Accountant's Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with interim review standards generally accepted in Japan. Our

responsibility under those standards is further described in the Accountant's Responsibility for the Review of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the provisions of the Code of Professional Ethics in Japan, including the ethical requirements that are relevant to audits of the financial statements of public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities as accountants. We believe that we have obtained the evidence to provide a basis for our review conclusion.

Responsibilities of Management and Audit & Supervisory Board Members and the Audit & Supervisory Board for the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for

assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern in accordance with paragraph 4 of IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and using the going concern basis of accounting.

Audit & Supervisory Board members and the Audit & Supervisory Board are responsible for overseeing the Directors' execution of duties relating to the design and operating effectiveness of the controls over the Group's financial reporting process.

Accountant's Responsibility for the Review of the Interim Condens ed Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objective is to issue an accountant's report that includes our conclusion.

As part of a review in accordance with interim review standards generally accepted in Japan, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the review. We also:

  • Make inquiries, primarily of management and persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and apply analytical and other interim review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in Japan.

  • Conclude whether nothing has come to our attention, based on the evidence obtained, related to going concern that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with paragraph 4 of IAS 1, if we conclude that a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our accountant's report to the related disclosures in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our conclusion. Our conclusions are based on the evidence obtained up to the date of our accountant's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate whether nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the overall presentation and disclosures of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not in accordance with IAS 34, as well as the overall presentation, structure and content of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Obtain evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group as a basis to express a conclusion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. We are

responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. We remain solely responsible for our conclusion.

We communicate with Audit & Supervisory Board members and the Audit & Supervisory Board regarding the planned scope and timing of the review and significant findings that we identify during our review.

We also provide Audit & Supervisory Board members and the Audit & Supervisory Board with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

Interest Required to Be Disclosed by the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan

Our firm and its designated engagement partners do not have any interest in the Group which is required to be disclosed pursuant to the provisions of the Certified Public Accountants Act of Japan.
