Building a solid corporate structure and system for growth in new areas beyond the milestone of 1,000 outlets

In the dining-out industry, the environment remained challenging, as high labor costs persisted due to factors such as an increase in the minimum wage, sales suffered the effects of natural disasters such as earthquakes and torrential rain, and energy prices surged. Against this background, Saizeriya has worked to build a solid corporate system in order to continue the steady provision of high-quality products and services to our customers.

During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2019, we pushed ahead with the introduction of new technologies and preparation methods, in order to develop products that will bring customers into our outlets. At the same time, working to create an environment where customers can dine in safety with peace of mind, we implemented various measures in advance of full-scale enforcement of the Act on the Partial Revision of the Health Promotion Act scheduled for 2020, including making all our outlets non-smoking and refurbishing existing outlets. Thanks to the support of our customers over many years, we reached a total of 1,500 outlets across Japan and overseas in July 2019. As a result, the Company recorded consolidated net sales of ¥156.5 billion (up 1.6% from the previous fiscal year) and operating income of ¥9.5 billion (up 11.1%).

In the fiscal year ending August 31, 2020, with the aim of attaining future growth and further advances, the Company will promote innovation, focusing on both hard and soft aspects.

Our principal initiatives are to develop attractive products unique to Saizeriya and enhance quality and productivity through technological improvement. At the same time, in our operations we will emphasize initiatives that lead to corporate sustainability, such as measures against waste loss and energy saving and environmental measures at our outlets, plants, and farms.

We seek your continued understanding of our efforts as our shareholders, and look forward to your continued support.

Yasuhiko Shogaki, Chairman
