Express Sales Co., Ltd.'s total comprehensive revenue for the 2026 fiscal year (September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2026) was 39,63.3 billion yen (up 16.6% from the previous year); the total business profit reflecting the profit of the business itself, that is, profit after deducting sales costs and sales, general and administrative expenses, was 718.4 billion yen (up 30.4% year over year). Both revenue and profit increased dramatically, and recorded the highest level of performance ever for five consecutive years. The UNIQLO (Uniqlo) business, a subsidiary of the Group, has achieved both revenue and profit growth in all regions, mainly due to the continuous launch of high-quality stores that can convey the “LifeWear Fit for Life” concept. At the same time, strategically strengthening the links between products, store planning and information dissemination has also paid off. Furthermore, a net increase of 59.3 billion yen was recorded under the financing income and cost category. This was due to net interest income of 52.2 billion yen, plus exchange income of 7.1 billion yen after converting the book value of assets denominated in foreign currency into yen. As a result, the Group's total profit before tax for the full year reached 802.5 billion yen (up 23.4% year on year), and profit attributable to parent company owners reached 542.5 billion yen (up 25.3% year over year).
The total investment in equipment this fiscal year was 112.7 billion yen, including 11.3 billion yen for the UNIQLO business division in Japan, 68.8 billion yen for the overseas UNIQLO business division, 3.8 billion yen for the GU (Excellent) business division, 1.8 billion yen for the global brand business division, and 26.7 billion yen for other system-related investments.
