The earnings call reflects a mix of progress and challenges. While the company has successfully rolled out a new reservation system and expanded its restaurant footprint, it faces challenges in comparable sales growth and increased costs. The planned IP collaborations and improved adjusted EBITDA are positive indicators, but concerns about tariffs and labor costs persist.

Company Guidance -

Q4 2025

During the fiscal third quarter of 2025, Kura Sushi USA, Inc. reported total sales of $74 million, with comparable sales growth of negative 2.1%, impacted by a traffic decline of 2.9% and a positive mix of 0.8%. The company saw improvements in food and beverage costs, which were 28.3% of sales, a 90 basis point improvement from the previous year's 29.2%, due to pricing and supply chain efforts. However, labor costs increased by 50 basis points, driven by high single-digit wage inflation. Operating profit margin was 18.2%, down from 20% in the prior year, affected by higher labor and occupancy costs. The company successfully opened three new restaurants during the quarter and two more subsequent to quarter-end, reaching its target of 14 new restaurants. For fiscal 2025, Kura expects total sales of $281 million and plans to open 15 new units, maintaining a growth rate above 20%. Adjusted EBITDA rose by 20% to $5.4 million from $4.5 million in the prior year. The company is optimistic about future performance, with plans to enhance its marketing strategy, including seven to eight IP collaborations in fiscal 2026 and a fully implemented reservation system expected to drive operational efficiencies.
