TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan’s Fast Retailing, owner of the Uniqlo clothing brand, posted on Thursday a 12.2% rise in nine-month operating profit.
Operating profit was 451 billion yen ($3.08 billion) in the nine months to May 31, against the consensus forecast of 458 billion yen, based on a LSEG poll of five analysts.
The company kept its full-year forecast at 545 billion yen.
It said the impact of U.S. tariffs on its earnings in the current fiscal year to end-August was likely to be limited as the company had front-loaded a substantial amount of its products to the North American market.
