Message from the President
Annual Report 2014
2013.03.01–2014.02.28
As a store dedicated to providing lifestyle
products of beauty, art and taste, we will
continue offering our vision of a Pleasant Life
to our customers.
Masaaki Kanai
President and Representative Director
Continuing on with the mission we embarked on a year earlier as a specialty
retailer dedicated to delivering lifestyle products that exude beauty, art and taste,
in FY2013 we fortified initiatives in our domestic business, including “strategic
product item rollouts,” “cross department sales promotions among our Garment,
Household, and Food,” and “interior design coordination consultation events.” In
particular, we implemented a company-wide effort to tackle the reconstruction
of the housewares segment, which was an issue for us, and consequently saw
an improvement in segment performance. In our stores, we installed new display
fixtures, which improved sales floor presentation and made it easier for customers
to select products. Moreover, we are seeing benefits from our internal certification
system (interior design advisors, fashion advisors, etc.) as it has enhanced the
customer service capabilities of our staff by arming them technical expertise. Moving
forward, we aim to create a store environment that will facilitate a pleasant shopping
experience. In addition, we plan to improve our dialogue with customers via the
introduction of the “MUJI passport,” a new membership service that will closely link
us to customers.
Meanwhile, we posted a substantial growth in revenue from operations and
operating profit in our overseas business. In particular, the sharp growth at the
operations in China provided impetus for earnings performance in the overall
overseas business. In China, we accelerated the pace of store openings, creating
a network of 100 stores at the end of FY2013. Coupled with this, we also recorded
an improvement in our operating profit ratio. Elsewhere, we launched operations
in Australia, a new market, by opening our first store in Melbourne. In the United
States, we opened MUJI Hollywood, our flagship store in the region and which has
the largest sales floor space in the United States. The store is drawing in a huge
number of customers.
Our company will continue to offer to our customers a pleasant life with products
combining beauty, art and taste. Aiming to enhance the uniqueness of the MUJI
brand and become a sustainable global company, we will work harder to contribute
to society by offering goods and services trusted by our customers.
I would like to express my gratitude to our shareholders, and we look forward to
your continued support.

• Sales of clothing and sundries have showed strong performance. Sales of housewares also trended upward moving in the second half.
• The number of per-customer purchases rose owing to an increase in sales of houseware accessories (stationery, H&B).

Sales business in Europe
Sales trended solidly reflecting the bottoming out of the
macro-economy, which had continued to deteriorate mainly in
southern Europe. In addition, the weakness in the British pound
and the Euro, which has long squeezed our profits, made a
positive turnaround. This reduced our purchasing costs and
contributed to profit growth.

Corporate Governance
1. Basic Policy on Corporate Governance
We aim to establish good relationships with all stakeholders (shareholders, customers, employees, society and client
companies), to differentiate ourselves from other companies and win an overwhelming presence and the trust of customers to
enhance our corporate value. We have therefore been making improvements in manufacturing, sales, and customer service in
order to enhance our reputation and strengthen the “MUJI (Mujirushi Ryohin)” brand image.
We will demonstrate our reliability by improving our business performance, engaging in proactive IR activities, making fair
and transparent disclosures, and increasing returns to shareholders. In our relationships with employees, we will provide a
vector for our staff members to make efforts to achieve our company’s goals and establish an open and stimulating corporate
culture so that employees can realize their full potential. Our organizational management processes ensure constant selfreflection and self-discipline, based on the lessons learned from a spate of corporate scandals seen in recent years.
2. Current status of Corporate Governance System for final decision-making, and of
Managerial Organization for execution of decisions and supervision
1) Currently, taking into account the size of our company, its organizational status and staff mobility, the Board consists of
six directors within the company (six directors doubling as operating officers) and three directors outside the company,
who were appointed as independent directors in accordance with rules stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and who
report to the TSE. The supervisory functions and managerial responsibility of the Board of Directors are clearly stipulated,
and we also promote delegation of authority, including reviews of the board system and decision-making systems as
appropriate, in order to accelerate the implementation of processes.
2) Our company has adopted an audit system. Currently, the Board of Auditors consists of four members (including one
full-time auditing officer), all of whom are outside corporate auditors. Three of the four members were appointed as
independent directors in accordance with rules stipulated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange and these members report to
the TSE. The Board of Auditors audits the directors’ execution of their duties by attending Board meetings and checking
important documents. In addition, the Board of Auditors regularly liaises with the Audit Department, which conducts
internal audits, and with the accounting auditor, who conducts accountancy services.
3) The Payment Advisory Board (consisting of three directors outside the company (including one chairperson) and two
directors within the company) advises the Board of Directors on the payment of directors. The Nomination Advisory Board
(consisting of three directors outside the company (including one chairperson) and two directors within the company)
advises the Board of Directors on the nomination of directors.
4) The Audit Department (currently consisting of six members) conducts internal audits. The Department performs audits
to determine whether business operations are being appropriately performed in accordance with our store management
manual and Work Standard Sheets (MUJIGRAM) by our headquarters, as well as to determine whether problems have
been solved. The audit results are reported to our representative directors on a weekly basis, as well as to our Board of
Directors every half-term.
5) Accounting audits of our company are conducted by a team consisting of two certified public accountants with KPMG
AZSA LLC, seven assistant certified public accountants, and eleven other members. Thus an environment for fair auditing
is established. The team of certified public accountants with KPMG AZSA LLC consists of Mr. Akihiro Ohtani (with two
years of continuous auditing service) and Mr. Takushi Miyashita (with four years of continuous auditing service).

Environmental Activities
Creating a Pleasant Life
Ryohin Keikaku contributes to society through our business activities
In 1980, Ryohin Keikaku launched the MUJI brand under the catchphrase “Lower priced for a reason.” MUJI was created to
promote low price and high value products, based on the in-house development experience of Seiyu GK, the umbrella group of
Ryohin Keikaku. The basic principle of MUJI merchandise development is to create products that are fundamental, practical and
really necessary in daily life, and to ensure efficient and minimal manufacturing processes. Based on this concept, we constantly
review our materials and designs, streamline time and labor in the manufacturing process, and simplify our packaging. For many
years our simple, elegant and functional products have earned the respect and appreciation of our customers.
Over 30 years has passed since the birth of MUJI, and we are still applying and developing our basic principles, responding to
our customers, and ensuring the MUJI brand means pleasant (well-designed, well-made and environmentally-friendly) products
and services; in this way we will offer the opportunity of a Pleasant Life (harmony with our neighbors and our planet) to people
throughout the world. Ryohin Keikaku believes that through our business activities we are able to satisfy our customers, offer
simplicity, harmony and beauty, and contribute to the greater community.
As a company that promotes a Pleasant Life we proclaim and implement three promises for corporate operation, three
viewpoints for product development—the fundamentals of business operation—and three criteria for manufacturing.
Three Promises for Corporate Operation
(excerpt from Vision of “ryohin (good product),” Corporate Philosophy)
1. Take the challenges of global growth and development through fair and transparent
business activities, and rise to these challenges.
2. Inquire into and offer new value and attractiveness of good products from the
viewpoints of people. From the customers’ viewpoints, seek and offer new value
and appeal.
3. To all age groups and various communities (customers, growers, manufacturers,
etc.) connected with Ryohin Keikaku, offer the vision of a sustainable Pleasant Life.
Three Criteria for Product Development
1. Problem solving through design
2. Examination of materials and processes
3. Simplification of packaging
Three Viewpoints for Manufacturing
1. Ryohin Standards (Quality Standards)
2. Ryohin Keikaku Environment, Labor and Safety Management (The Code of Conduct
for Business Partners)
3. Major materials not used or controlled
