(1) Overview of Business Results for Fiscal Year Under Review
During the fiscal year under review (from September 1, 2022, to August 31, 2023), economic activities gradually normalized
following the relaxation of COVID-19 movement restrictions. At the same time, the economic outlook both in Japan and
overseas continued to be uncertain, given the global surge in resource prices and the downward swing in overseas economies
caused by monetary tightening. Further, consumers are becoming even more budget-conscious following a series of price hikes
of daily necessities resulting from the yen’s depreciation as well as rising raw material prices and energy costs.
Under such circumstances, the Ryohin Keikaku Group, in its second founding, has built its corporate identity to realize “Well-
being Life and Society.” We have developed merchandise, services, stores, and activities pursuing the ideal relationship between
humans, nature, and things and a spiritually rich human society. The group drove forward its business to fulfill the following
two missions.
Our first mission is to develop and provide daily necessities and services with genuine quality and ethical value, at appropriate
and affordable prices. The second mission is to have a positive impact on each region by operating stores that serve as
community centers, sharing concerns and values with local residents and collaborating with them to tackle local issues.
The Ryohin Keikaku Group’s operating results for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, are as follows.
Operating revenue 581,412 million yen (up 17.2% from a year ago)
Operating profit 33,137 million yen (up 1.1% from a year ago)
Ordinary profit 36,156 million yen (down 2.8% from a year ago)
Net income attributable to owners of parent 22,052 million yen (down 10.2% from a year ago)
Operating revenue rose owing to an increase in the number of stores as the Company opened new stores. While growth in
operating gross profit stagnated due to higher procurement prices caused by the rapid depreciation of the yen and the surging
raw materials costs, operating profit increased, slightly outperforming the result for a year ago.
The difference with the consolidated financial results forecast for full year was as follows: Operating revenue fell slightly
short of the forecast as existing store sales of Japan business struggled; profit of the Japan business improved following the
price revision implemented in January and February 2023, and the overseas business led by the mainland China business
continued to perform strongly. As a result, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net income attributable to owners of parent
exceeded the forecasts.
The number of MUJI stores (including licensed stores) in Japan and overseas increased by 116 to 1,188 as of August 31, 2023,
with 562 stores in Japan and 626 overseas. In Japan, the group enhanced its retail store network by opening 75 stores primarily
adjacent to local food supermarkets, while opening 65 stores overseas mainly in mainland China, Taiwan, and Thailand.
(Overview of business results by segment for the fiscal year under review)
Operating results by segment are as follows.

(iii) Asia East / South & Oceania Business
Operating revenue from the Asia East / South & Oceania business during the fiscal year under review totaled 31,470 million
yen (up 42.9% from a year earlier) and segment profit came to 4,160 million yen (up 68.1%), resulting in significant increases
in both revenue and profit.
Sales in Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand and Malaysia, performed strongly and revenue and profit of the segment
increased, as products for the ASEAN region, uniquely developed to suit the local cultures and climates, were well received
by local customers in the current fiscal year.
[ESG initiatives]
Under the principle “To contribute to society and people,” which has not changed since its founding, the Ryohin Keikaku
Group aims to become a front runner of ESG management in the second founding and implements initiatives to contribute to
the creation of an ecological and sustainable society with resource-recycling through our products, services, and activities led
by locally-rooted stores.
- ESG in merchandise
The Ryohin Keikaku Group, taking into account the future of our daily lives and merchandise, promotes the development
of recyclable products and products that use sustainable materials as alternatives to plastic. As part of the efforts, the Company
introduced storage supplies using Manila hemp from the end of May. The stem of Manila hemp has overlapping leaf sheaths
rolled together, and can be divided into three types based on the color and features of the fiber, which differ depending on
the layer. The Company developed storage supplies leveraging the differences in features of these three types of fiber and is
offering products that utilize resources without wasting them.

(2) Overview of Financial Conditions for Fiscal Year Under Review
As of August 31, 2023, total assets of the Ryohin Keikaku Group stood at 453,715 million yen, up 54,390 million yen from
the end of the previous fiscal year. This was primarily due to a 24,875 million yen increase in cash and deposits, a 3,875 million
yen increase in merchandise, a 3,474 million yen increase in other current assets, a 10,547 million yen increase in property,
plant and equipment, and a 12,708 million yen increase in investments and other assets.
Liabilities totaled 186,268 million yen, up 31,796 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was due primarily
to a 10,873 million yen increase in short-term loans payable, a 2,554 million yen increase in accrued expenses, a 6,964 million
yen increase in income taxes payable, an 8,756 million yen increase in lease liabilities, and a 2,082 million yen increase in
deferred tax liabilities.
Net assets came to 267,446 million yen, up 22,594 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year. This was primarily
due to a 11,006 million yen increase in retained earnings, and a 11,693 million yen increase in deferred gains or losses on
hedges.
As a result, consolidated shareholders’ equity ratio came to 58.1% compared with 60.5% at the end of the previous fiscal year.
