TOKYO, Feb 02 (Pulse News Wire) – Garden CO.,LTD. (274A.T) released its earnings report for the third quarter ending February 2026, addressing key concerns raised by shareholders and investors.
The company emphasized its strategy to diversify brand offerings beyond the traditional home-style ramen category to ensure sustainable growth. It highlighted recent acquisitions such as "Manbaken," a renowned miso ramen restaurant, to cater to evolving consumer preferences. Regarding operational changes, Garden Co. defended its decision to discontinue free rice service at "Ikkakuya" restaurants, stating that while initial customer traffic dipped, the move was necessary to maintain profitability without compromising quality.

On expansion, the company confirmed its intention to accelerate store openings, particularly within existing high-density areas like Hamamatsucho, where multiple brands will coexist without cannibalizing each other's customer base. Additionally, Garden Co. reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a steady dividend payout ratio of 30%, balancing shareholder returns with strategic investments aimed at long-term growth and potential Prime Market listing.
