Uniqlo owner sees stronger profit and sales on US growth

In a stunning display of resilience and strategic brilliance, the Japanese retail giant Fast Retailing Co. has defied the chaos of a global trade war to deliver a blockbuster performance in North America, a powerful vindication of its ambitious global expansion and a clear sign that the world’s appetite for its functional, affordable basics is as strong as ever.

The owner of the ubiquitous Uniqlo brand reported on Thursday that its revenue and business profit in North America had soared by an incredible 24.5 percent and 35.1 percent, respectively, for the fiscal year that ended in August.

This powerful performance was the engine of a broader international surge that saw strong gains in Europe and Southeast Asia, a wave of growth that has more than offset a persistent and worrying slump in China, long the company’s largest overseas market.

The American dream, realized

The success of the company’s aggressive push into the United States is particularly remarkable, as it has been achieved in the direct face of the tariff volatility sparked by President Donald Trump.

The company confirmed that its revenue and profit in the US jumped significantly even during the June-August quarter, the very period when the impact of the new US tariffs set in.

The company’s formula for success has been a combination of a compelling product offering and a relentless physical expansion.

New store openings in both North America and Europe have been “extremely successful, and a virtuous cycle has started to emerge,” according to the company’s earnings statement.

A bullish future, a trillion-yen milestone

Buoyed by this international success, Fast Retailing’s overall sales rose nearly 10 percent, while its operating income climbed a formidable 13 percent, decisively beating analyst forecasts.

The company is now looking to the future with a renewed sense of confidence, issuing a bullish outlook for the next fiscal year that is also above market consensus.

This powerful performance is a key milestone in the grand ambition of the company’s founder and CEO, Tadashi Yanai, who is seeking to eventually reach annual sales of 10 trillion yen and transform his business into a truly global apparel maker.

The international success has been complemented by a landmark achievement at home.

For the first time in its history, revenue at Uniqlo Japan has topped the 1 trillion yen mark, a powerful testament to the brand’s enduring appeal in its home market.

While the continued slump in China remains a challenge, the company is actively working to shore up its operations there by adjusting its product lineup to meet local needs.

But for now, the story of Fast Retailing is a story of a global triumph, a victory forged in the shopping malls of America.
