March 2022 Monthly YoY Change in Sales and Number of Company-owned

Stores

Monthly review

Restaurants had been requested to shorten business hours in response to quasi-emergency measures, which had continued from February, but were fully lifted in all 18 prefectures in the latter half of March. Customer traffic increased after lifting restrictions.

Under such situation, we continued to operate our stores, taking measures to prevent the spread of infection, and to expand stores offering home delivery and to-go services.

As a result, in March, all stores sales increased by 43.5% and same stores sales including period with shorter business hours and excluding it increased by 19.6% and 7.4%, respectively year on year.

*We planned a 14.4% increase of same stores sales including the period on an annual basis at the time of formulation of forecast of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022.
