1. Business Results

1. Analysis of Business Results for the year ended 31 August 2020
   The Fast Retailing Group's revenue and profit declined in fiscal 2020, or the twelve months from 1 September 2019 to 31 August 2020. Consolidated revenue totaled 2.0088 trillion yen (-12.3%year-on-year) and operating profit totaled 149.3 billion yen (- 42.0% year-on-year). This weak performance was caused primarily by large falls in both revenue and profit in the second half from 1 March to 31 August 2020 due to COVID-19, which prompted us to temporarily close stores in markets worldwide over a period of a few months and knocked customer visits lower as people refrained from going out. This worsening in business performance also prompted the recording of impairment losses on stores and others of 23.0 billion yen for the full business year. The consolidated gross profit margin declined by 0.3 point year-on-year in fiscal 2020 and the selling, general and administrative expense ratio rose by 2.8 points year-on-year. We recorded a net 3.5 billion yen from foreign-exchange gains, finance income, and other items under finance income net of costs. As a result, profit before income taxes declined to 152.8 billion yen (-39.4%year-on-year) and profit attributable to owners of the Parent declined to 90.3 billion yen (-44.4%year-on-year) in the twelve months to 31 August 2020.
   Capital expenditure declined by 2.4 billion yen year-on-year in fiscal 2020 to 82.7 billion yen. That figure can be broken down into 17.8 billion yen for UNIQLO Japan, 23.5 billion for UNIQLO International, 8.5 billion yen for GU, 2.4 billion yen for Global Brands, and 30.4 billion yen for systems, etc. While we increased our investment in IT system and warehousing as part of our Groupwide transformative Ariake Project and invested more heavily in global flagship stores and large-format stores at UNIQLO Japan, the overall capital expenditure figure declined slightly year-on-year due to a reduction in new stores openings primarily at UNIQLO International.
   The Group's medium-term vision is to become the world's number one apparel retailer. In pursuit of this aim, we focus our efforts on expanding UNIQLO International, as well as our GU brand and our global e-commerce operation. We continue to increase UNIQLO store numbers in all markets and areas in which we operate, and open global flagship stores and large-format stores in major cities around the world to instill deeper and more widespread empathy for UNIQLO's LifeWear concept of ultimate everyday wear. While COVID-19 continues to impact our business performance in all markets, we continue to expand our operations while prioritizing the safety and health of all our customers, employees, and business partners.
   UNIQLO Japan
   UNIQLO Japan reported a decline in revenue but a rise in profit in fiscal 2020, with revenue declining to 806.8 billion yen (-7.6%year-on-year) and operating profit expanding to 104.6 billion yen (+2.2% year-on-year). Meanwhile, fiscal 2020 same-store sales (including e-commerce) declined 6.8% year-on-year. In the first half from 1 September 2019 through 29 February 2020, same- store sales declined 4.6% year-on-year after sales of warm clothing struggled during the warm winter weather. In the second half from 1 March through 31 August 2020, same-store sales declined by 9.6% year-on-year as the spread of COVID-19 prompted us to temporarily close a maximum of 311 stores during the period from late March through early May 2020, and customer visits declined as people were encouraged to stay at home. However, same-store sales rebounded by an impressive 20.2% year-on-year in the fourth quarter from 1 June through 31 August 2020 after we reopened our stores thanks to strong sales of core Summer ranges, products designed to satisfy stay-at-home demand, and AIRism face masks.
   Meanwhile, UNIQLO Japan e-commerce sales increased 29.3% year-on-year in fiscal 2020 to 107.6 billion yen, raising the proportion of online sales to total revenue from 9.5% to 13.3%. Of particular note in the second half, we successfully strengthened our ability to convey e-commerce information through digital advertising and TV commercials and significantly increased the number of new online customers by launching limited-period special prices for our registered app users. These elements helped generate an impressive 54.7% year-on-year increase in second-halfe-commerce sales. The UNIQLO Japan gross profit margin rose 2.4 points year-on-year in fiscal 2020 as yen-based exchange rates on product purchasing continued to appreciate and we decided to restrict any excessive discounting of products to attract customers. UNIQLO Japan's selling, general and administrative expense ratio increased by 1.0 point year-on-year in fiscal 2020, but those expenses declined year-on- year in monetary terms. As a result of the above, UNIQLO Japan was able to record a slight increase in operating profit for the full business year.

UNIQLO International

UNIQLO International recorded significant declines in both revenue and profit in fiscal 2020, with revenue falling to 843.9 billion yen (-17.7%year-on-year) and operating profit contracting to 50.2 billion yen (-63.8%year-on-year). This weak performance was due primarily to large declines in revenue and profit in the second half on the back of COVID-19 and the recording of full-year impairment losses for the segment of 15.8 billion yen mainly on operations in South Korea and the United States. However, e-commerce sales increased by roughly 20% year-on-year as our online operations continue to expand favorably in all markets.

Breaking down the UNIQLO International performance into individual regions and markets, UNIQLO Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) reported a decline in revenue and a significant contraction in operating profit, with revenue for the year totaling 455.9 billion yen (-9.3%year-on-year) and operating profit totaling 65.6 billion yen (-26.3%year-on-year). However, Greater China performance improved at a faster pace than predicted from March onwards as local support for our LifeWear concept grew and customers increasingly recognized LifeWear products as essential items for daily living. Greater China e-commerce sales continued strong, expanding by approximately 20% year-on-year in fiscal 2020. Sales at UNIQLO South, Southeast Asia & Oceania (Southeast Asian nations, Australia, and India) declined by approximately 13% year-on-year to

150.0 billion yen and operating profit shrank by approximately 40% year-on-year in fiscal 2020. Having performed extremely well in the first half to generate double-digit growth in both revenue and profit, the region was heavily impacted by COVID-19 in the second half. While it will take some time for sales to recover in the Philippines and Indonesia, which were hit especially hard by COVID-19, sales in other parts of the region began recovering favorably from June onwards. In South Korea, same-store sales declined significantly and the operation posted an operating loss on the back of ongoing Japan-South Korea tensions and the impact of COVID-19. In North America (USA and Canada), nearly all our stores were closed from the middle of March through to the end of June. Changes in the social climate from June onwards and a resurgence in COVID-19 infections resulted in a large decline in revenue and a wider operating loss for the full year through 31 August 2020. UNIQLO Europe was also hit hard by COVID-19 with many stores being closed temporarily and a huge decline in tourist numbers knocking revenue lower and resulting in a slight operating loss for the full year.

Fast Retailing continued to aggressively enter new markets over the period with the first UNIQLO store opening in Milan, Italy in September 2019, the first store opening in New Delhi, India in October 2019, and the first store opening in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam in December 2019. While all those markets were impacted by COVID-19, UNIQLO Italy managed to post a full-year profit, and the Vietnam operation, which was only launched in December 2019, turned a profit in the second half.

GU

Our GU segment recorded an increase in revenue but a decline in profit in fiscal 2020, with revenue reaching 246.0 billion yen (+3.1% year-on-year) and operating profit totaling 21.8 billion yen (-22.5%year-on-year).

GU Japan same-store sales (excluding e-commerce sales) increased in the first half on the back of strong sales of knitwear that perfectly captured the mass fashion trend as well as lightweight outerwear. However, the impact of COVID-19 in the second half resulted in a 5.2% year-on-year decline in GU Japan same-store sales for the full year. That said, same-store sales did start to recover favorably in the fourth quarter, recording a 2.2% year-on-year increase for that quarter on the back of standout sales of products that captured mass fashion trends and products that fulfilled stay-at-home demand. Full-yeare-commerce sales performed strongly, expanding by approximately 60% year-on-year on the back of fewer shortages of popular products and more powerful transmission of attractive product-related information. The GU gross profit margin declined 0.7 point year-on-year in fiscal 2020 compared to the extremely strong performance in the previous year and also due to our continued rundown of excess Spring Summer inventories. The GU selling, general and administrative expense ratio rose 1.8 points year-on-year in fiscal 2020 following a large decline in revenue in the second half.

Global Brands

The Global Brands segment reported large declines in both revenue and profit in fiscal 2020, with revenue totaling 109.6 billion yen (-26.9%year-on-year) and the segment reporting an operating loss of 12.7 billion yen compared to a 3.6 billion yen operating profit in the previous year. This weak performance was due primarily to the large impact of COVID-19 in the United States and Europe, which resulted in continued losses for our France-based Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse tam.tam brands and our US-based J Brand label and also forced our Theory operation into the red. That new operating loss for Theory was generated by a significant decline in revenue resulting from temporary store closures and stay-at-home practices as well as strong discounting of stock. Our PLST brand also saw revenue decline due to COVID-19, resulting in a slight full-year operating loss. Comptoir des Cotonniers stores were temporarily closed for nearly two whole months resulting in a large decline in revenue and continued operating losses for the full business year.

Sustainability

We continue to promote sustainability activities globally through our clothing business under the motto "From the power of clothing to the power of society," focusing on six main areas (materialities). Our main activities for the current period are outlined below.

• Consideration for the environment: During 2020, we plan to reduce the use of plastic in shopping bags and product packaging by 85% (about 7,800 tons) across the entire Fast Retailing Group by decreasing the amount of plastic we use and switching to environmentally friendly materials such as recycled paper. In addition to our existing re-use initiatives for UNIQLO products, UNIQLO in Japan has been reclaiming old down and reusing the feathers in new down products since November 2019, as part of our goal to utilize raw materials more efficiently. UNIQLO also launched the high-performance,fast-drying"DRY-EX" line of polo shirts, developed in cooperation with Toray Industries, Inc. using recycled polyester from PET bottles, in the 2020 spring/summer season.
• Respect for human rights and working conditions in the supply chain: To help keep our manufacturing partners and factory employees safe and secure from COVID-19 infection, we provide thorough guidance on preventing the spread of infection while working in factories. We have also established a help desk for wage compensation and other employment-related issues arising from the closure of our factories, to help support and compensate our employees fairly.
• Community co-existence and mutual support: We have donated around 15 million masks to medical facilities around the world that are battling the virus, and about 1.2 million isolation gowns (a piece of protective equipment for use in medical settings) to healthcare organizations in Japan. We have also donated around 520,000 items of UNIQLO clothing (as of the end of July), including AIRism and HEATTECH products and down jackets, to organizations supporting vulnerable members of society and medical institutions. In Japan, we provide support for those affected by various natural disasters. We have donated relief supplies, including disposable masks, UNIQLO products and sneakers, to around 20,000 people affected by the Kyushu floods in July 2020.
• Employee satisfaction: In our stores, we are prioritizing the health of customers and employees by instituting policies such as health checks for staff members, mask-wearing and hand-sanitizing, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. In order to make our locations a safe and secure place for our employees to work, we are providing masks and disinfectant, and increasing ventilation. We are also promoting working from home for relevant roles.
• New value creation through products and sales: Masks have become an essential part of people's lives to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, so in June 2020 we launched the AIRism Mask in UNIQLO stores around the world. We are continuing to listen to customer feedback, and utilizing it to develop better masks.
• Good management (governance): The Risk Management Committee is continually discussing and planning our response to issues such as COVID-19, the risk of major disasters such as an earthquake occurring in Tokyo, and information security risks. The Human Rights Committee is also in discussion over anti-harassment measures and the development of training programs.

1. Outlook for the Coming Year
   In fiscal 2021, the Fast Retailing Group expects to achieve consolidated revenue of 2.2 trillion yen (+9.5% year-on-year), operating profit of 245.0 billion yen (+64.0% year-on-year), profit before income taxes of 245.0 billion yen (+60.3% year-on- year) and profit attributable to owners of the Parent of 165.0 billion yen (+82.6% year-on-year).
   These forecasts assume revenue will decline in the first half from 1 September 2020 to 28 February 2021 based primarily on expectations that people's ability to move around will continue to be restricted and travel demand will continue to decline in Southeast Asia, the United States, and Europe. Our estimates for the second half of FY2021 from 1 March to 31 August 2021 assume COVID-19 infections will have been brought under control, enabling us to achieve a large increase in revenue and a significant improvement in operating profit across all our business segments.
   We forecast the overall Fast Retailing Group network will expand to a total 3,725 stores by the end of August 2021: 813 stores (including franchise stores) at UNIQLO Japan, 1,558 stores at UNIQLO International, 445 stores at GU and 909 stores at Global Brands.
   Our business estimates for the year to 31 August 2021 are based on the premise that stores in all markets will be operating normally. Please understand that these estimates may need to be revised if we see a resurgence in the number of COVID-19 infections, stores are unable to operate normally, or other circumstances change.

2. Basic Concept Regarding Selection of Accounting Standards

The Group has adopted IFRS to the Group's consolidated financial statements since the year ended 31 August 2014.

1. Notes regarding Going Concern Assumptions Not applicable.
2. Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Changes in Accounting Policies

1. Application of IFRS 16: Leases
   The Group began applying IFRS 16, from the beginning of the current fiscal year. In applying IFRS 16, the Group has adopted the cumulative catch-up approach that recognizes the cumulative effect of initial application of the standard as at the date of initial application (1 September 2019) as a transition method, without restating comparative information.
2. 1. Definition of lease
      The application of IFRS 16 requires that judgment be made at the inception of a contract as to whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. If a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract is, or contains, a lease.
      To determine whether or not a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group examines whether the contract includes the use of the specified asset, whether the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of identified asset throughout the period of use, and whether the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset.
   2. Accounting treatment of leases

2.1) Leases in which Fast Retailing Group is the lessee

Separate from short-term leases or leases for which the underlying asset is of low value, the Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease and recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. On the date of commencement of a lease, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost, and the lease liability is calculated as the present value of lease payments outstanding.

The cost of the right-of-use asset is mainly composed of the initial measurement of the lease liability, initial direct costs and the amount of any prepaid lease payments. Furthermore, the discount rate used to calculate the present value of lease payments is the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used.

The lease term is determined as the non-cancelable period which includes an option to extend the lease (if it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise that option), or an option to cancel the lease (if it is reasonably certain that the Group will not exercise that option).

After the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. When depreciating right-of-use assets, the Group applies the depreciation requirements in International Accounting Standards ("IAS") 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. In addition, the Group applies IAS 36, Impairment of Assets, to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

Depreciation of right-of-use asset is measured from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset if ownership of the underlying asset is to be transferred to the Group by the end of the lease term, or if it is reasonably certain that the lessee purchase options will be exercised; otherwise the straight-line method will be used to calculate depreciation from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

After the commencement date, the carrying amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the interest rates on the lease liability and reduced to reflect any lease payments made. Furthermore, any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments is remeasured.

The Group uses the straight-line basis to recognize any lease payments associated with short-term leases or leases for which an underlying asset is of low value.

- 15 -

2.2) Leases in which the Group is the lessor

The Group classifies a lease as either a finance lease or an operating lease at the inception of the lease contract.

To classify each lease, the Group comprehensively assesses whether all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset will be substantially transferred or not. If the risks and rewards value are to be transferred, the lease is classified as a finance lease; if not, it is classified as an operating lease.

If the Group is acting as an intermediate lessor, the Group accounts for head leases and subleases separately. A sublease classification is determined by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, rather than by reference to the underlying asset.

The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease payments from finance leases are recognized at the commencement date as assets held under finance leases and presented as receivables at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

1. Treatment on transition
   In applying IFRS 16, the Group applies the practical expedient in place of the judgments previously used to determine

whether or not a contract is a lease. Consequently, the requirements in IFRS 16 is applied only to contracts entered into or changed on or after 1 September 2019.

3.1) Leases in which the Group is the lessee

(Leases previously classified as operating leases applying IAS 17 Leases ("IAS17"))

Lease liabilities on transition are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate as at 1 September 2019. In addition, right-of-use assets on transition are measured using one of the following methods.

• Its carrying amount calculated on the assumption that IFRS 16 was applied from the commencement of the lease. Note that the discount rate used is the lessee's incremental borrowing rate on the date of initial application of IFRS 16.
• The amount measured for the lease liability, is adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. Note that the followings apply when IFRS 16 is applied to leases that were previously classified as operating leases IAS 17.
• A single discount rate is applied to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics.
• Leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application of IFRS 16 are accounted for in the same way as short-term leases.
• Initial direct costs are excluded from the measurement of right-of-use assets at the date of initial application of IFRS 16.
• The Group uses hindsight, such as in determining the lease term if the contract contains options to extend or terminate

the lease.

(Leases previously classified as finance leases applying IAS 17)

The Group accounts for the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the date of initial application at the amount of the lease asset and lease liability applying IAS 17 immediately prior to the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

3.2) Leases in which the Group is the lessor

Leases in which the Group acts as lessor require no adjustment on transition to IFRS 16, except for subleases. Subleases will be accounted for in accordance with the transition provisions under IFRS 16 as stated below.

• In applying IFRS 16, the Group classifies sublease transactions as at the date of initial application as either operating leases or finance leases. This classification is determined based on the remaining contractual terms and conditions of the head lease and sublease at that date.
• Any subleases classified as operating leases applying IAS 17 but finance leases applying IFRS 16 are accounted for as new finance leases entered into at the date of initial application.

- 16 -

1. Impact on consolidated financial statements
   With the application of IFRS 16, the Group recognized an additional 375,541 million yen in right-of-use assets, 428,631 million yen in lease liabilities and a decrease of 35,094 million yen in retained earnings in its consolidated statement of financial position at the start of the fiscal year.
   The weighted average of the lessee's incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized in consolidated statement of financial position as at the date of initial application of IFRS 16 is 0.9%.
   The major factors for the difference in the commitment amount related to operating leases applying IAS 17 disclosed in consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 August 2019 and the lease liabilities recognized in consolidated statement of financial position as at the date of initial application of IFRS 16 are as follows.

	(Millions of yen)
Minimum future lease payments for non-cancelable operating lease contracts (31 August 2019)	344,888
Present value of non-cancelable operating lease contracts (31 August 2019)	337,009
Finance lease obligations (31 August 2019)	38,726
Cancellable operating lease commitments	52,894
Lease liabilities recognized in consolidated statement of financial position as at the date of initial

application of IFRS 16

428,631

5) COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions

In accordance with the amendment to IFRS 16 issued in May 2020, a rent concession arising as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic and which also meets all of the following conditions will not be considered as a lease modification and accounted for variable lease payments.

・The change in lease payments results in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change.

1. • Any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2021. ・There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions of the lease.
     Any recognized gain or loss from rent concessions, that are not related to a lease modification, did not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
2. Application of IFRIC 23: Uncertainty over income tax treatments
   IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments ("IFRIC 23") interpretations are additional to the requirement of IAS 12 Income Taxes and establish accounting procedures for uncertain tax positions, such as items with no clear tax treatment or items related to matters that are not yet resolved with the tax authorities. If it is determined that the tax treatment used by the Group is not likely to be approved by the tax authorities, the Group's calculation of taxable income will recognize additional taxable income in an amount equivalent to the impact of that uncertainty, using either the most likely amount or expected value.
   The application of IFRIC 23 does not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Year ended 31 August 2019 Property, plant and equipment

Out of total impairment losses amounting to 3,444 million yen, 3,148 million yen represented write downs of the carrying amounts of store assets to the recoverable amounts, primarily due to a reduction in profitability of certain stores, including flagship stores.

The grouping of assets is based on the smallest CGU that independently generates cash inflow. In principle, each store, including flagship stores, is considered as an individual CGU and recoverable amounts thereon are calculated based on value in use.

The value in use is calculated based on the cash flow projections with estimates and growth rates approved by management, applying a discount rate of 15.9%. In principal, the projected cash flows cover a five-year period, and do not use a growth rate that exceeds the long-term average market growth rate. The pre-tax discount rate calculation is based on the weighted-average cost of capital.

The main CGU units for which impairment losses were recorded are as follows:

Operating segment	CGU	Type
	UNIQLO CO., LTD. stores	Buildings and structures
UNIQLO Japan
UNIQLO International	UNIQLO EUROPE LTD., etc., stores	Buildings and structures
GU	G.U. CO., LTD., etc., stores	Buildings and structures
