Uniqlo Owner Reports Strong Growth in Japan, Western Markets
For China, where sales and profit declines extended into the latest quarter, the company is closing underperforming stores and revamping bigger and better-located outlets to drive sales.
Uniqlo owner Fast Retailing Co reported strong growth in revenue and operating profit for the three months through November, as robust demand across Japan, North America and Europe helped offset the sustained slowdown in China.
迅銷的母公司Fast Retailing Co報告稱，截至11月的三個月內，營業收入和營業利潤實現強勁增長，因日本、北美和歐洲的強勁需求抵消了中國持續放緩的影響。
Operating profit rose 7% to ¥157.6 billion for the three months ended November from a year earlier, with sales increasing to an all-time high of ¥895.2 billion, largely in line with analysts' estimate.
截至11月的三個月內，營業利潤同比增長7%，達到1576億日元，銷售額也增長至8952億日元的歷史新高，基本符合分析師的預期。
Cooler winter weather in Japan boosted clothing sales and stronger brand recognition pushed up overseas sales, Fast Retailing said. The results show the company is on track to establish strong footholds for sales growth in new markets, in addition to Japan and China where it currently makes the majority of its revenue.
迅銷表示，日本較冷的冬季天氣促進了品牌服飾的銷售，而更強的品牌認知度則推動了境外銷售。結果表明，公司在日本和中國之外的新市場建立銷售增長的強大立足點的軌道上。
For China, where sales and profit declines extended into the latest quarter, the company is closing underperforming stores and revamping bigger and better-located outlets to drive sales.
在中國，銷售和利潤的下滑延續到最新一個季度，公司正在關閉表現不佳的門店，並改造更大且更好地理位置的店鋪以推動銷售。
The company kept its full-year forecast unchanged. Higher sales in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region are expected to drive a 5.8% increase in the company's operating profit to ¥530 billion for the fiscal year ending August from a year earlier, it said in October.
公司保持了其全年預測不變。預計北美、歐洲和亞太地域板塊的銷售增長將推動公司在截至八月的財政年度內營業利潤增長5.8%，達到5300億日元，該預期在十月提出。
