  • Fast Retailing, the parent company of Uniqlo, reported a 7.4% increase in operating profit for Q1, reaching 157.6 billion yen ($996.84 million).
  • Despite the profit rise, results fell below analyst expectations due to weak sales in China, where their growth has slowed.
  • The company maintained its annual profit forecast of 530 billion yen, aiming for a fourth consecutive year of record earnings.
  • Japanese sales received a boost from increased tourism and cold weather, while China faced flat sales due to warm temperatures.
  • Fast Retailing also announced a significant pay increase for employees in Japan, aiming to change the country's wage outlook.
