UNIQLO – The Japanese Fashion Retailer Sets Foot In India

Finally, the biggest Japanese fashion retailer is going to debut in India and mark its entry with the opening of three stores in Delhi, NCR region. Uniqlo is a casual wear designer, manufacturer, and retailer and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. It is one of the largest brands in the retail market with more than 3K stores across the world and its entry into India was long-awaited. According to its website, Asian markets of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and other parts of Asia are generating strong growth. As India is a country with a large youth population which is getting attracted to western wear, it is surely the next target market for UNIQLO to increase its sales.

â€œGiven the size and fast growth of the Indian market, the launch will for the first time involve three separate stores to be able to offer LifeWear to as many people as possible,” the company said.

The first store will be opened on October 2019, at Ambience Mall in Vasant Kunj, South Delhi spread across 3 floors of the mall covering 35000 sq. feet of space. The second one will be opened at DLF Place Saket, also in South Delhi while the third store will be located at DLF CyberHub in Gurugram. To be sure, Uniqloâ€™s India entry has been a talking point for the past about three years. After H&M, Gap and Aeropostale launched almost within the same year between 2015 and 2016, the time gap for the next large international retail brand launch has been long. However, the company has been researching the market for some time now before making its entry. Uniqlo will be running its operations independently and not tie up with any local retailer.

“We are committed to the Indian market and are very excited to be launching our first three stores in Delhi, a region that embraces diversity and culture, from art and design to craftsmanship and fashion,” UNIQLO Founder and Chairman, President & CEO, Fast Retailing Tadashi Yanai said.

The store will showcase Asiaâ€™s size specific collection including, men, women, kids and babies and has a target to beat Spainâ€™s Zara and Swedish retailer H&M to sell more apparel globally. Uniqlo is expected to compete with these brands in the Indian market, although being a fast fashion brand Forever21 will also be a competition. Being a hot country, Uniqlo’s assortment of cotton clothes might be well received.

“We look forward to offering our high-quality, affordable LifeWear apparel to the people of India,” he added.

The brandâ€™s entry was made after the allowance of FDI in single-brand retail in India to which Mrs. Nirmala Sitharaman, Indian Minister of Finance and Corporate Affairs, announced further relaxation on sourcing norms for single-brand retailers. Although 30 percent of the products by a foreign company must be sourced from local suppliers, preferably medium and small enterprises.

The collection was previewed at its website for the Indian customers with a price range of garments starting from Rs. 490 ($7) for men t-shirts, Rs. 1,490 ($21) for women pants and formal menâ€™s shirts will be in the range of Rs. 1,990 to Rs. 2,490. Jeans are mainly in the price range of Rs 2490-Rs 2990 ($35-40). The brandâ€™s iconic Ultra-light down vests jackets had the range between Rs. 3,490 to Rs. 4,990 ($50-$64) .The prices are not much different from their US or EU prices and it needs to be seen how their quality is being received by the customers.

Uniqloâ€™s debut increases the competition in the Indian apparel market. It would be interesting to explore the foreign collection. Stay tuned for more information or visit UNIQLO.COM!

Weather Plays Spoilsport For Fast Retailing !

One of the Asiaâ€™s largest apparel retailer and the corporate parent of UniqloÂ experienced weak demand for winter apparel during an unseasonably warm season around the world .Not only there was slow demand but also the company faced a decrease in foreign exchange gains from the previous year.Taking into the account the lower than expected performance in the first quarter,it compelled the company to lower its estimated full year net profit from $936.08 million to $895.38 million only , a reduction of about 4.34%. The sales forecast have been brought down to $14.65 billion as compared to the previous estimation of $15.47 billion. The foreign exchange fluctuations have not been incorporated into those forecasts.

Global Brands reported rises in revenue and profit, UNIQLO Japan reported declines in both revenue and profit, while UNIQLO International reported a rise in revenue but a fall in profit. Foreign exchange gains under other income/expenses and net finance income fell Â¥18.9 billion compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2015, when the yen weakened significantly. As a result, consolidated profit before income taxes contracted by Â¥29.0 billion to Â¥77.6 billion.

Consolidated revenue: Â¥1.800 trillion (+7.0% year on year), operating profit: Â¥180.0 billion (+9.4%), profit attributable to owners of the parent: Â¥110.0 billion (-0.0%). Basic earnings per share: Â¥1,079.01. These include downward revisions as follows: Â¥100.0 billion for revenue, Â¥20.0 billion for operating profit, and Â¥5.0 billion for profit attributable to owners of the parent. Scheduled FY2016 annual dividend: Â¥370 per share, unchanged.

These financial disappointments led the company to reconsider its product mix and hence, Fast Retailing plans to launch its spring collection earlier than expected and introduce less weather â€“ sensitive products.

Uniqlo Japan also witnessed lower profits and sales in the quarter which has been hurtÂ by â€œheavy discounting.Â Uniqloâ€™s international operations fell short of its targets with weak performances in Greater China and South Korea and the United States. Surprisingly,Â Uniqloâ€™s operations in Europe and Southeast Asia fared better.

Unseasonal warm winter weather around the globe adversely impacted same-store sales at UNIQLO Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan), UNIQLO South Korea and UNIQLO USA in particular, resulting in a lower than expected performance and declining in profits in all three areas. Store network (End November 2015): 864 stores (+169 y/y). Fifteen years after the first UNIQLO store outside of Japan opened in London in fall 2001, UNIQLO International finally overtook UNIQLO Japan in terms of store numbers.

In fiscal 2016, Fast Retailing now expects to achieve consolidated revenue of Â¥1.800 trillion (+7.0% year on year), operating profit of Â¥180.0 billion (+9.4%) and profit attributable to owners of the parent of Â¥110.0 billion (-0.0%). These data translate into basic earnings per share of Â¥1,079.01. These figures have been revised down from our initial estimates announced in October 2015 as follows: Â¥100.0 billion for revenue, Â¥20.0 billion for operating profit and Â¥5.0 billion for profit attributable to owners of the parent.

Fast Retailing Co., Ltd.Â is a public Japanese retail holding company. In addition to its primary subsidiary Uniqlo, it owns several other brands, including J Brand, Comptoir des Cotonniers, g.u., Princess Tam-Tam, and Theory. Denim is an integral part of Uniqloâ€™s apparel offer and of course J Brand is primarily a premium denim label.
