The earnings call highlighted several positive developments, including the successful implementation of a new reservation system, improved food and beverage costs, and strong EBITDA growth. However, these were offset by challenges such as negative comparable sales growth and increased labor costs. The company's cash position remains robust, and sales guidance has been raised, indicating optimism about future performance.

Company Guidance

During the fiscal third quarter of 2025, Kura Sushi USA, Inc. reported total sales of $74 million, with a comparable sales decline of 2.1%, driven by a traffic decrease of 2.9% but partially offset by a positive price and mix impact of 0.8%. The company showcased operational improvements, with food and beverage costs as a percentage of sales improving by 90 basis points to 28.3% from the prior year's 29.2%. Despite facing high single-digit wage inflation, labor costs as a percentage of sales rose by only 50 basis points. The operating profit margin declined to 18.2% from 20% in the previous year due to increased labor and occupancy costs. The company opened three new restaurants in the quarter and two more subsequent to the quarter-end. Looking ahead, Kura Sushi expects to achieve total sales of $281 million in fiscal 2025, with a plan to open 15 new units. They anticipate general and administrative expenses to remain below 13% of sales, excluding any legal settlements, while maintaining an annual unit growth rate above 20%.

Successful Rollout of New Reservation System

Completed the system-wide rollout of the reservation system ahead of schedule, which has been received positively by guests and team members.

Improved Food and Beverage Costs

New Restaurant Openings and Market Expansion

Opened three new restaurants in North Scottsdale, Arizona, Lynnwood, Washington, and McKinney, Texas, with subsequent openings in Woodlands, Texas, and Salt Lake City, Utah. Lynnwood quickly became one of the top five restaurants.

Strong Adjusted EBITDA Growth

Robust Cash Position
