Monogatari Corporation reported robust year-on-year growth in net sales and customer numbers across its domestic restaurant portfolio through the second half of fiscal 2025 and into January 2026. Both all-outlet and existing-store metrics improved, supported by steady restaurant openings and renovations across its yakiniku, ramen, Yuzuan, and other specialty formats.
For all domestic restaurants including new outlets, net sales in the first half of the fiscal year rose roughly 12%, with customer traffic up about 8%, while January 2026 figures showed further acceleration. Existing restaurants also posted positive, albeit more moderate, sales and traffic gains, indicating underlying demand rather than growth driven solely by new store openings, a trend that underscores the company’s strengthening competitive position in Japan’s casual dining sector.
Store counts increased across all key formats during the period, with directly managed outlets and franchises both contributing to network expansion. Renovations and format changes, including upgraded ramen and specialty units, were incorporated into existing-store statistics under defined criteria, highlighting management’s ongoing efforts to optimize the portfolio while sustaining comparable-sales momentum.

Monogatari Corporation has completed an off-floor repurchase of its own common shares via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s ToSTNeT-3 system, acquiring 130,000 shares for a total of ¥554,450,000 on February 10, 2026. This transaction follows a Board of Directors resolution authorizing up to 140,000 shares and up to ¥600,000,000 for buybacks, indicating the company’s intent to actively adjust its equity base.
The stated purpose of the treasury share acquisition is to prepare for flexible capital policies aligned with the company’s future business operations, suggesting a focus on enhancing financial agility. For stakeholders, the completed buyback may signal management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and provides potential support to per-share metrics, thereby influencing shareholder value and market perception.

Monogatari Corporation has approved a share buyback to support flexible capital policies tied to future business operations, underscoring management’s focus on capital efficiency and balance sheet control. The board authorized the repurchase of up to 140,000 common shares, or about 0.3% of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, for a maximum of ¥600 million through an off-floor transaction on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s ToSTNeT-3 system at the February 9 closing price, with execution scheduled for February 10 and subject to market conditions.
The transaction, executed as a single off-floor order at 8:45 a.m., is intended to refine the company’s capital strategy rather than alter its trading structure or hours, signaling a targeted approach to shareholder returns. While the scale of the buyback is modest, the move may bolster per-share metrics and indicates continued commitment to active capital management, though the company notes that some or all of the planned purchases may not be completed depending on market trends and available sell orders.

Monogatari Corporation has approved the issuance of 469 performance-linked stock options, representing up to 46,900 common shares, to employees at no cost as part of its medium-term strategy. The scheme is designed to support its Vision 2030 and 2026–2028 management plan by more closely aligning staff incentives with shareholder value and long-term corporate growth.
The options carry strict exercise conditions, including a requirement that annual consolidated sales between fiscal 2028 and fiscal 2030 exceed 220 billion yen, and that holders generally remain as directors, auditors, or employees of the company or its affiliates. By tying equity rewards to ambitious sales thresholds and continued service, Monogatari aims to drive performance, encourage retention of key personnel, and reinforce a culture of shared profit awareness across the group.
The share acquisition rights feature an exercise period from February 10, 2028 to February 9, 2036, with an exercise price set at a small premium to the market average prior to allotment, subject to standard anti-dilution adjustments. Transfer of the rights requires board approval, and detailed provisions govern capital stock and capital reserve increases upon exercise, reflecting a carefully structured incentive plan intended to manage dilution while incentivizing growth.

Monogatari Corporation reported robust year-on-year growth in preliminary sales and customer numbers for December 2025 across its domestic network of directly managed and franchise restaurants, with overall net sales and traffic both comfortably above the prior year and the total restaurant count continuing to rise. The figures show stronger momentum in directly managed outlets than in existing-store averages, reflecting the contribution of new restaurants and remodeled formats in yakiniku, ramen, Yuzuan and specialty concepts, while management cautioned that the monthly statistics are trend indicators rather than a full representation of earnings performance; nevertheless, the sustained double‑digit sales growth suggests solid operating traction heading into 2026 and underpins the company’s expansion strategy in Japan’s casual dining sector.
