Ohsho Food Service posts record sales, strong profit growth in first half

Ohsho Food Service Corp. reported consolidated net sales of 58.50 billion yen for the first half of FY3/26, an 8.6% increase year-over-year, marking a record high for four consecutive years. Consolidated operating profit also grew by 1.3% year-over-year to 5.31 billion yen, achieving the second-highest first-half profit ever. This growth was driven by an increase in sales per customer due to price revisions, offsetting rising ingredient and labor costs. Monthly sales have set a new record for 44 consecutive months, with August 2025 reaching a new single-month record since the company's founding.

The company's existing stores saw a 7.6% increase in sales year-over-year, with sales per customer rising by 7.9%. While the number of customers in existing stores declined slightly by 0.3% year-over-year, the number excluding delivery customers increased by 0.8%, indicating a steady rise in in-store customer traffic. The full-year outlook for FY3/26 projects net sales of 119.731 billion yen and an operating profit of 11.271 billion yen.

Ohsho Food Service Corp. continues to invest in growth, with capital expenditures planned for new store openings and renovations of existing stores and factories. The company also aims to maintain dividend stability while increasing investments, projecting a record high dividend of 56 yen per share for FY3/26, marking the fourth consecutive year of dividend increases.
