Business ReportFiscal 2013, or 52nd business year of operation, for the year ending August 31, 20131. Fast Retailing Group Operations(1) Fiscal 2013 Operational Environment①Operational Performance and ProgressDuring the current consolidated accounting period spanning September 1, 2012 through August 31, 2013 (fiscal2013), the Fast Retailing Group managed to achieve gains in both revenue and income with consolidated salesreaching 1.1430 trillion ( 23.1% y/y), operating income reaching 132.9 billion ( 5.1%), ordinary income climbingto 148.9 billion ( 19.0%) and net income expanding to 90.3 billion ( 26.1%). This performance was generatedmainly by strong gains in both sales and income at the Group’s UNIQLO International and Global Brands segments.On the other hand, the gross profit to net sales margin at our mainstay UNIQLO Japan operation contracted in fiscal2013, leading to a fall in profit for that segment. We reported a significant foreign-exchange gain of 15.5bln onforeign-currency denominated assets following the comparative weakening of the Japanese currency in fiscal 2013.This factor fuelled the sharp rise in ordinary income for the Fast Retailing Group in fiscal 2013.Our mid-term vision is to become the world’s number one apparel retailer. To this aim, the Fast Retailing Group iscontinuing its drive to “promote globalization, strengthen Group management and refocus on entrepreneurialvalues.” In particular, we are channeling considerable effort into the expansion of UNIQLO’s global operations byaccelerating the number of international new store openings. The opening of global flagship stores in major citiesworldwide is helping to strengthen UNIQLO’s operational base, and we are also seeking to aggressively expand ourGU and Theory operations. In addition, we acquired J Brand, the leading U.S.-based premium denim label, as afully-owned subsidiary in December 2012.UNIQLO JapanUNIQLO Japan reported a rise in revenue and a fall in income in fiscal 2013, with sales expanding to 683.3billion ( 10.2% y/y) while operating income contracted to 96.8 billion (-5.4%). We focused our attention during thebusiness year on how to boost the number of customer visits to our stores. Our aggressive promotion of core ranges(our highly-functional HEATTECH winter innerwear, Ultra Light Down, Ultra Stretch Jeans, AIRism summerinnerwear, and our Steteco and Relaco light-weight ranges) through TV commercials and paper fliers successfullyboosted customer visits by a significant 12.0% year on year in fiscal 2013, and same-store sales consequentlyincreased by 7.3% year on year. However, on the income side, our gross profit to net sales margin suffered as a resultof the increased advertising activity, contracting 1.8 points year on year. Operating income also contracted 5.4% yearon year in fiscal 2013. Sales of heavily discounted ranges increased as price-sensitive customers directed theirbuying power towards these items, and we also had to cut prices at the end of the season in order to sell off excessstock. Both of these factors weighed on the gross profit margin. In addition, the SG&A to net sales ratio increased by0.6 point at UNIQLO Japan. However, this was due mainly to one-off expenses linked to the upgrade of our in-storefixtures and fittings, and also to the introduction of a new bonus payment system for store managers from April2013. At the end of August 2013, the total number of UNIQLO Japan stores (excluding the 19 franchise stores) stoodat 834 stores, a net increase of 10 stores compared to end August 2012.UNIQLO InternationalThe UNIQLO International segment generated significant gains in both revenue and income in fiscal 2013, withsales rising to 251.1 billion ( 64.0% y/y) and operating income reaching 18.3 billion ( 66.8%). The total numberof UNIQLO International stores had increased by 154 stores to 446 stores at the end of August 2013. Performancewas particularly strong in the region encompassing China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with 102 new store numbersopening for business. This area generated sales of 125.0 billion and operating income of 13.5 billion. Theperformance of UNIQLO operations in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines andIndonesia) exceeded our expectations, with 22 new stores opening for business during the business year. Thisincluded the opening of our first UNIQLO store in Indonesia in June. Elsewhere, UNIQLO Europe (U.K., Franceand Russia) performed to plan by breaking roughly even in fiscal 2013. UNIQLO USA opened a further four storesin shopping malls. However, the operating loss remained stubbornly close to the previous year’s level, as unseasonalweather in the second half of the fiscal year adversely affected sales, and the operation also incurred additionalupfront costs relating to the scheduled opening of 10 new stores in fall 2013.2

Global BrandsThe Global Brands segment generated gains in both sales and income in fiscal 2013, with sales totaling 206.2billion ( 34.8% y/y) and operating income reaching 17.4 billion ( 20.1%). Our GU low-priced, fashionablecasualwear brand generated particularly strong growth over the business year. Multiple new store openings anddouble-digit growth in same-store sales boosted overall sales for the GU brand to 83.7 billion and operating incometo 7.6 billion. Our stylish Theory fashion brand also generated gains in both sales and income, reporting anotherrecord profit in fiscal 2013. Our France-based women’s fashion brand, Comptoir des Cotonniers, reported theexpected rise in income in fiscal 2013, but fell short of expectations on the profit front, reporting a contraction inoperating income. J Brand, the U.S.-based premium denim label acquired by the Fast Retailing Group in December2012, generated the expected level of sales in fiscal 2013, but fell short of target in terms of operating income.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ActivitiesThe Fast Retailing Group is heavily involved in global and regional CSR initiatives which seek to fulfil ourfundamental commitments to: 1) fulfil our social responsibility, 2) contribute to society, and 3) resolve socialproblems and create new value.As part of our activities to fulfil our social responsibility, we appoint external inspectors to regularly monitorworking conditions at our partner factories around Asia. We seek to ensure working environments are consistentlysafe, appropriate and healthy by eradicating any incidences of child labor or unpaid wages, and also introducingschemes to reduce environmental pollution. In addition, in August 2013, we signed the Accord on Fire and BuildingSafety in Bangladesh to which many international organizations also adhere. We are cooperating with over 80 othercommercial brands to protect workers in Bangladesh from fire or the potential collapse of factory buildings. We arealso working independently to strengthen the fire and safety procedures adopted by all of our partner factories inBangladesh.The Fast Retailing Group also operates a social business in Bangladesh which is designed to help address socialproblems such as poverty, sanitation, education and gender inequality by planning, producing and selling clothinglocally. Conducted jointly with Grameen Bank, the social business opened two Grameen UNIQLO stores in July inthe capital of Dhaka (the New Elephant Road store and the Banasree store). We hope to further contribute to thelocal economy by expanding employment opportunities and offering high-quality products at prices that local peoplecan afford.In terms of contributing to local society, our All-Product Recycling Campaign encourages UNIQLO and GUcustomers to bring any wearable items that they no longer need into our stores. We then distribute these clothes topeople who have a greater need for them, including refugees and other displaced persons worldwide. As of August31, 2013, we had collected 24.8 million items from stores in 10 countries, and we had donated 7.3 million items to34 countries and regions.② Capital ExpenditureCapital expenditure for the Fast Retailing Group totaled 39.6 billion in fiscal 2013, with 31.7 billion spent onbuildings, 5.2 billion spent on lease deposits for stores and 2.7 billion spent on financial assistance for constructionprojects.③ Procurement of FundsNo relevant items to report.④ Transfer of Operations, Absorption-type & Incorporation-type Company SplitsNo relevant items to report.⑤ Acquisition of Other CompaniesNo relevant items to report.⑥ Assumption of Rights and Obligations Relating to Non-Group Companies through Absorption or Absorption-typeCompany SplitsNo relevant items to report.⑦ Acquisition or Disposal of Stock or Other Equity Interests, Share Warrants in Other CompaniesNo relevant items to report.3
