      • Achieved record high net sales for four consecutive years and sales growth for five consecutive years. (Updating record high monthly sales for 47 consecutive months.)

      • Achieved operating profit growth for five consecutive years.

      During the first nine months of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 (the "period under review"), the Japanese economy remained steady, supported by improvements in employment and income conditions. However, concerns about the economic outlook have intensified due to weakening consumer sentiment caused by prolonged inflation and the impact of U.S. trade policies.

      In the restaurant industry, supported by steady inbound demand, demand for dining out remained firm. On the other hand, various cost pressures, including soaring raw material prices such as rice, rising labor costs, and increased expenses for store construction and equipment, have continued to put downward pressure on earnings on an ongoing basis. Combined with a growing consumer thriftiness, the business environment remains challenging.

      Under these circumstances, the Group proactively invested in human capital as well as in stores and factories to fulfill our social mission to provide "comfortable dining space," "heartwarming hospitality," and "delicious foods" to our customers. In addition, the Group focused on further improvement of the quality, service, and cleanliness (QSC) standards, and continued to implement effective sales promotion measures.

      As a result, the Company continued to achieve record high monthly sales on a same month basis for 47 consecutive months, and in August, updated the highest single month sales since its founding. Net sales for the period under review reached record high net sales for four consecutive years and increased revenue for five consecutive years. Operating profit also rose for five consecutive years.

      The following is an overview of our initiatives and achievements during the period under review.

      1. Steady Improvement in QSC

        Under the slogan, "Professional skills, professional taste, and professional pride. The power of delicious meals will change the future," we continued initiatives such as cooking training programs, culinary knowledge training, and cooking skills certification examinations conducted by the Ohsho Academy, thereby steadily enhancing cooking knowledge and skills.

        In addition, under the theme "More Delicious Gyoza no Ohsho, Challenge 2025," we carried out a full-scale renewal of our noodles, pursuing improved chewiness, richness, and flavor. Furthermore, we developed new thick flat noodles that blend well with ramen soup and provide a strong presence and satisfying texture that stand up to other ingredients, thereby further enhancing the appeal of our existing menu offerings.

        In terms of customer service, we conducted customer service training programs aimed at fostering hospitality that only humans can offer, as well as the development of customer service trainers. In addition, we introduced new kitchen staff uniforms that embody the pride of "professional chefs" while offering both comfort and functionality, and worked to enhance on-site performance.

        In terms of cleanliness, by thoroughly implementing the cleaning manual, we ensured rigorous hygiene management. In parallel, we actively renovated stores to establish a safe, secure, and comfortable dining environment.

      2. Effective sales promotion measures

        For sales promotion, in the "Gyoza Club customer appreciation campaign for 2025," we introduced a new Platinum membership tier, which resulted in the acquisition of a record high 1.32 million Gyoza Club members. Starting on June 27, we launched the "Gyoza Club customer appreciation campaign for 2026," and as of the end of December, the number of members has been performing well, reaching 105.2% compared to the previous year.

        In addition, we implemented various sales promotion initiatives, including the continued rollout of draft beer campaigns, uncooked gyoza sales, Double stamp campaigns, and the "Grand Appreciation Festival" and "Founding Anniversary Festival," through which we distributed 250 yen discount coupons to express our sincere gratitude to customers for their continued support of Gyoza no Ohsho.

        For merchandising strategy, we further enhanced the taste of our limited-time menu items, "Hiyashi Chuka" and "Spicy Hiyashi Chuka," and also launched a new menu item, "Goku-Oh Gyoza no Ohsho Ramen," as part of the Goku-Oh ("Ultimate Ohsho") series on November 13. This item elevates our standard menu to a whole new level of taste. Alongside this launch, we expanded our lineup of topping options that allow customers to customize their dishes to their own preferences, thereby responding to increasingly diverse customer needs, and the new offerings have been well received.

        In addition, starting on December 18, we began nationwide sales of three types of "Gyoza no Ohsho Lunch" available exclusively during weekday daytime hours, offering a quick and good-value dining option, with the aim of strengthening customer traffic during lunchtime.

      3. Expansion of investment

        1. Investment in human capital

          We, as a company where people create value, have regarded development of human resources as an important key and therefore provide all employees with a wide variety of learning opportunities for various training programs, including the above-mentioned programs and e-learning programs.

          The Company implemented a pay raise of an average of 30,139 yen per employee (an 8.2% wage increase) in the revision of monthly salaries for FY3/26, exceeding the demand from the labor union. This marked the third consecutive year of both base pay raises and regular salary increases, bringing the total wage increase over the past three years to approximately 29%.

          In order to proactively secure future talent, the Company increased the starting salary for new university graduates by 21,500 yen to 300,000 yen, along with ongoing wage increases.

          For the summer bonus in 2025, in order to reward all employees who contributed to the Company's strong performance, we provided a bonus exceeding the demand from the labor union by adding an extra 10% on top of the standard bonus table set at 100%.

          For the winter bonus in the same year, we paid bonuses at 100% of the standard bonus table, representing a full response to the demand from the labor union. In addition, in order to enhance employees' motivation to contribute to the Company's sustainable performance improvement and value creation, we granted restricted stock of 184,925 shares, totaling 682 million yen, to 2,469 employees. Furthermore, we significantly increased the incentive contribution rate under the employee stock ownership plan from 5% to 20% of the contribution amount, and actively invested in human capital to support employees' asset building.

        2. Investment in equipment

          The Company upgraded foreign object inspection equipment to state-of-the-art systems at the Kumiyama Factory and the Higashimatsuyama Factory, thereby enhancing its quality assurance framework. In addition, we renewed the gyoza production line at the Kyushu Factory with the latest equipment, achieving improvements in product quality and production capacity expansion, and greater efficiency in manufacturing processes.

          Regarding new store openings during the period under review, the Company opened the Kameido store in May 2025, the Hanshin Amagasaki store in September, and the BLiX Chigasaki store in November. Since their opening, customer traffic has been strong and sales have been performing steadily.

          Looking ahead, the Company plans to actively expand into the Tokyo metropolitan area and has already reviewed approximately 300 potential store locations. To ensure the successful execution of this strategy, the Company will establish a new hub for human resource development and recruitment in the Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Through this initiative,

          the Company aims to accelerate store openings in the eastern Japan region.

        3. Investment in digital transformation

          We started optimizing IT infrastructure such as renewal of host systems and review of core systems as investments for promotion of digital transformation. Following the full rollout of the Take-out Mobile Order system, we have begun sequentially introducing it to franchise stores while also enhancing user convenience by linking the system with our official smartphone app to enable Gyoza Club member discounts at the time of pre-payment.

          In addition, recognizing that proactive investment in the IT field is essential for improving operational efficiency and enhancing customer convenience, the Company newly established the IT Advisory Council as an advisory body to the Board of Directors. The council includes two external experts with specialized knowledge and experience in IT who are capable of providing objective evaluation and insight. Building on the establishment of this framework for optimizing system investments and promoting innovation, the Company will accelerate investments aimed at advancing digital transformation and AI (artificial intelligence) initiatives going forward.

      4. Sustainability promotion

      The free provision of "Bento for Kids" meals to "Kodomo Shokudo" or Children's Cafeteria and other similar organizations nationwide, which has continued since 2021, has reached a cumulative total of 1.11 million meals with a value of approximately 300 million yen, deepening the Company's contribution to local communities. In areas where there are few Ohsho stores, this is also an opportunity for children to learn about our Gyoza for the first time..

      In addition, we carried out multifaceted social contribution activities, including disaster relief support through the dispatch of a kitchen truck to Notojima Island, Ishikawa Prefecture, and participation in a zero food waste campaign as part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's circular economy initiatives.

      For climate change issues, in line with the recommendations of the TCFD, we have implemented measures such as upgrading equipment to help reduce GHG emissions. In addition, we calculated CO₂ emissions from our business activities (Scopes 1 and 2) and from our supply chain (Scope 3) in FY2024, and confirmed that CO₂ emissions per unit of sales decreased compared with the previous fiscal year.

      As a result, we achieved record-high monthly sales for 47 consecutive months since February 2022. Net sales for the period under review increased by 5,832 million yen, or 7.2% year-on-year, to a record high of 87,277 million yen.

      Operating profit increased by 32 million yen or 0.4% year-on-year to 7,627 million yen, marking the fifth consecutive year of profit growth. This was due to an increase in sales, despite soaring raw material prices and rising labor costs.

      Ordinary profit decreased by 19 million yen or 0.3% year-on-year to 7,867 million yen. This was mainly due to the impact of temporary insurance income recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year.

      Profit attributable to owners of parent increased by 2 million yen or 0.1% year-on-year to 5,208 million yen, due to proceeds from compensation for eviction.

      Regarding the store network during the period under review, we opened two directly operated stores and six franchised stores, and closed two directly operated stores and five franchised stores. The result was a total network of 551 directly operated stores and 178 franchised stores, totaling 729 stores at the end of the period under review.

    2. Financial Position

      In May 2025, the Company acquired 4,200 thousand treasury shares for 14,490 million yen and canceled 5,000 thousand treasury shares in order to further enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency. As a result, cash and deposits as well as retained earnings were reduced, leading to a significant decrease in total assets and net assets compared to the end of the previous fiscal year.

      Assets

      The balance of total assets at the end of the period under review was 81,484 million yen, down 15,148 million yen or 15.7% from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors for the change are as follows.

      Current assets decreased by 15,492 million yen or 36.0% from the end of the previous fiscal year to 27,599 million yen. This was mainly due to a decrease in cash and deposits.

      Non-current assets increased by 344 million yen or 0.6% from the end of the previous fiscal year to 53,885 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in buildings and structures.

      Liabilities

      The balance of total liabilities at the end of the period under review was 19,397 million yen, down 2,997 million yen or 13.4% from the end of the previous fiscal year. The main factors for the change are as follows.

      Current liabilities decreased by 1,526 million yen or 9.5% from the end of the previous fiscal year to 14,484 million yen. The main reason was a decrease in income taxes payable.

      Non-current liabilities decreased 1,471 million yen or 23.0% from the end of the previous fiscal year to 4,912 million yen. The main reason was a decrease in long-term borrowings. The balance of borrowings at the end of the period under review was 3,500 million yen.

      Net assets

      The balance of net assets at the end of the period under review was 62,087 million yen, down 12,150 million yen or 16.4% from the end of the previous fiscal year. The primary factor for the decrease was the acquisition of treasury shares amounting to 14,490 million yen. As a result, the equity ratio decreased from 76.8% at the end of the previous fiscal year to 76.2%.

      Cash flows

      Cash and cash equivalents (hereinafter, "net cash") at the end of the period under review amounted to 22,122 million yen, down 15,998 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year.

      The main changes in cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the period under review are described as below.

      Cash flows from operating activities

      Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 152 million yen or 2.4% year-on-year to 6,621 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in proceeds from compensation for eviction.

      The main factors include profit before income taxes of 7,840 million yen and depreciation of 2,393 million yen, which were partially offset by income taxes paid of 3,256 million yen.

      Cash flows from investing activities

      Net cash used in investing activities increased by 119 million yen or 3.5% year-on-year to 3,587 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in purchase of property, plant and equipment.

      The main factors include purchase of property, plant and equipment of 3,328 million yen.

      Cash flows from financing activities

      Net cash used in financing activities increased by 14,712 million yen or 340.1% year-on-year to 19,038 million yen. This was mainly due to an increase in expenditures for the acquisition of treasury shares.

      The main factors include repayments of long-term borrowings of 1,500 million yen, expenditures for the acquisition of treasury shares of 14,490 million yen, and dividends paid of 3,048 million yen.
