UNIQLO'S First Public Debt Issue Is The Rhythm Of Letting Go Of A Big Fight.

The fast selling group of UNIQLO's parent company launched a 5 year 100 billion yen debt issue on Friday, which can reach up to 250 billion yen, which is the first time that fast retailing has issued bonds to the public.

The reporter noted that as early as October 29th, the official website of XXX group had an application for issuing a notice of issuing bonds, but no further information was updated thereafter.

On the evening of December 8th, the relevant head of the Tokyo headquarters of fast marketing group pointed out that the media reports were inaccurate, and it has not yet issued corporate bonds, but the corresponding corporate bonds will be officially announced in the middle of the month.

"The funds raised will mainly be used to speed up the globalization and digitalization of the group.

The investment will include Japan and overseas, but the specific content is not yet available.

Fast Retailing said that at the end of November this year, the number of overseas UNIQLO stores has surpassed that of Japan and symbolized the importance of overseas markets.

"In the US market, we will focus more on expanding the electricity supplier to improve the margin of loss."

In the October 29th announcement of XXX group, it only indicated that it had submitted the provisional registration statement of the company bonds to the Secretary of the Kanto Finance Bureau in Japan that day.

"The registration of temporary registrations is designed to increase and stabilize the way of fund-raising for the growth of the group, while establishing a framework for flexible funding."

It is reported that the sales amount at that time is 250 billion yen, which is used for equipment expenditure, working capital, investment and loan and debt repayment.

However, no further details have been released so far.

In December 4th, no fashion Chinese net reported that the fast selling debt issuance program has been implemented since last year.

The biggest issue of debt.

As Asia's largest apparel retailer, fast retailing has spared no effort to expand its stores in recent years.

Liu Jing, chief executive of fast marketing group, has issued a bold statement that it will surpass Zara parent InditexSA in 2020 to become the world's largest apparel retailer.

Setting up stores needs financial support. In this context, the issue of fast forward group's debt is particularly noticeable.

In a reply to the reporter's mail, Xun marketing group said that the media coverage was not accurate enough for the issue of bonds. "The group plans to announce and carry out relevant details of the issuance of corporate bonds in this month. The current amount is scheduled to be 250 billion yen quota, with a fixed life period of 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years."

An industry analyst said that it was mainly due to a series of overseas expansion plans previously announced. For the major brands that have always insisted on direct sales, it is necessary to continue to open stores.

At the moment, it is not just UNIQLO, but also for GU, other brands are expanding overseas.

In December 2nd, XXX released the sales figures for November.

Due to weather factors, the sales of Japanese local UNIQLO brands are not very satisfactory, and sales in the same store also declined.

In Japan, it is difficult to achieve fast growth of high growth, and has regarded overseas markets as an important growth point.

Reporters noted that overseas

Still the most powerful part.

At the end of November, the 2014/2015 annual report released by XXX group as at the end of August 2015 showed that the profit of this part increased by 31.6% to 43 billion 300 million yen compared with the previous year.

The performance of the Greater China market is even more beautiful: earnings increased by 46.3% to 304 billion 400 million yen compared with the previous year, while operating profit increased by 66.1% to 38 billion 600 million yen compared with the previous year.

As of August 31, 2015, the number of UNIQLO stores in Greater China was 467.

In contrast, UNIQLO's operating profit has contracted in the European region, and sales of UNIQLO in the United States still fail to reach the standard, and business losses have widened.

For the US market, XXX has always had its vision.

Earlier, the chief executive of the US market said it would open 200 stores in the US shopping center in the future to help UNIQLO achieve its target of selling US $10 billion in the US.

In the view of Shao Ligang, general manager of the nine party consulting and management, there are more challenges for fast selling to the European and American markets than the Chinese market.

"The European community has decided that the consumer market is much smaller than China, so it is better to make China and India markets bigger and stronger."
