Recent Overview

Net sales +19.6%, operating income +120.7%, marking a significant increase; rollout of QR ordering to all stores completed

In the cumulative nine months of FY2026 (ending August 2026) (September 2025 to May 2026), the Japan segment achieved substantial growth in both sales and profit, with net sales of ¥149,801 million (up 19.6% year on year) and operating income of ¥5,592 million (up 120.7% year on year). Despite the impact of rising ingredient and energy costs due to the weak yen, the number of customers and average spending per customer at existing stores trended upward, supported by in-store organizational efforts to maintain store conditions as well as the effects of menu initiatives and DX utilization. Rollout of the QR code ordering method to all stores was completed at the end of December 2025, and the grand menu was revised in June 2026. Impairment losses of ¥96 million were recorded in the Japan segment.

Key Products

Growth Drivers

• Risk of energy price spikes due to escalating tensions in the Middle East
