by Tracy Hu

Japanese holding company Fast Retailing (6288), which owns UNIQLO, yesterday said it earned 23.48 percent more for the nine months ended May, to 148.3 billion yen (HK$10.35 billion).

The company yesterday halted the trading of its shares before releasing its results for the nine months. Revenue during the period rose 15.31 percent to 1.7 trillion yen.

For the latest three-month period, the company's third fiscal quarter, net profit surged 93.1 percent to 44.1 billion yen while total revenue rose to 517.3 billion yen, a 12.4 percent increase.

UNIQLO Greater China generated significantly higher-than-forecast profits. Same-store sales attained double-digit growth following a strong launch of the new spring/summer line-up.

Fast Retailing profits soar to record 155b yen

Fast Retailing (6288), owner of Japan's popular clothing chain Uniqlo, booked a record annual profit and forecast even stronger results in the current year, helped by growth in Asia and a recovery at its US stores.

The Japan-based company saw a 29.8 percent increase in its net profit to 154.8 billion yen (HK$10.81 billion), while the year-end dividend per share is projected to be further raised by 40 yen to 240 yen, which would bring the annual total dividend per share for 2018 to 440 yen.

Its annual operating profit rose 34 percent to a record 236.2 billion yen, the company said yesterday. That was in line with analysts' median forecast for 237.5 billion yen, according to Refinitiv data.

It forecast an operating profit of 270 billion yen for the current financial year, above a market consensus for around 263 billion yen, on continued strength in China and Southeast Asia.

Fast Retailing also said it saw an improvement in the United States, where it has been shutting down poorly performing stores, saying it was able to halve its operating losses there in the year just ended.

The retailer flagged its global ambitions earlier this year when tennis star Roger Federer strode onto the court at Wimbledon in Uniqlo-branded whites, in a major sponsorship deal that is reportedly worth around US$30 million (HK$235.09 million) annually.

Uniqlo's Fast Retailing blames warm winter for surprise profit decline

TOKYO (Jan 10): Uniqlo operator Fast Retailing Co Ltd reported an unexpected decline in quarterly profit on Thursday, blaming warm weather for hurting winter clothing sales even as its Chinese business shrugged off concerns of a decelerating economy.

Uniqlo has become Asia's biggest clothing retailer, helped in part by the popularity of its basic items such as ultra-light down coats and Heattech thermal underwear.

However, stores in Japan struggled to sell such items in October and November due to unseasonably warm weather, the company said.

Overall operating profit fell 8% to 104.7 billion yen (US$970.16 million) in September-November. That compared with a 118 billion yen average of four analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv Eikon.

Fast Retailing's Uniqlo business in Japan performed particularly badly, with operating profit down 30% from a the same period year earlier.

"We did extremely well domestically and ran out of stock on winter clothing in the previous year, so we went into this season with extra," Chief Financial Officer Takeshi Okazaki told reporters. "As a result, we were hit squarely by the mild weather."

Analysts have recently been concerned that Uniqlo faces two major risks: saturation in Japan, still its main market, and possible slowdown in China, where the company currently logs an increasing proportion of growth.

The company said the latter, at least, was not yet happening with operating profit in mainland China growing by double digits.

"I believe Chinese economic growth is slowing down but it's not showing an impact as far as our business is concerned," Okazaki said, adding that he remained on alert.

The firm opened a net 78 stores in China in the last fiscal year, expanding to 633 locations there, while it closed a net 4 stores in Japan, ending the year with 827 stores. But analysts have been concerned how long growth momentum in China would last.

Economic growth in China is widely expected to slow due in part to the impact of a trade war with the United States. On Tuesday, state television CCTV reported that the government plans to introduce policies to boost domestic spending.

Fast Retailing kept its operating profit forecast for the full year through August 2019 unchanged at 270 billion yen.
