Yoshiharu Global Reports $7.2M Revenue and $2.6M Net Loss for First Half of 2025

Yoshiharu Global Co. reported a total revenue of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, marking a 17.3% increase from $6.1 million in the same period of 2024. This growth was primarily driven by the acquisition of three restaurants in Las Vegas, which contributed significantly to the sales figures. However, the company also faced increased operating expenses, leading to a net loss of $2.6 million, compared to a loss of $2.0 million in the prior year, reflecting a 32.7% increase in losses.

The company's restaurant operating expenses rose to $7.5 million for the first half of 2025, up from $5.7 million in 2024, representing a 32.1% increase. Key contributors to this rise included food, beverage, and supply costs, which surged by 50.4% to approximately $2.3 million, driven by higher sales and inflationary pressures. Labor costs also increased by 19.7% to $3.3 million, attributed to staffing from the newly acquired locations and wage inflation. As a result, the net restaurant operating income turned negative, with a loss of $316,773 compared to a profit of $447,233 in the previous year.

Yoshiharu's operational metrics indicate a significant expansion, with the company currently operating 15 restaurants and two additional locations under development. The total assets increased to $19.1 million as of June 30, 2025, up from $17.6 million at the end of 2024. The company’s stockholders' equity also saw a substantial rise, reaching $4.7 million, compared to $255,399 at the end of the previous fiscal year, largely due to the issuance of new shares and warrants.

Strategically, Yoshiharu has focused on expanding its footprint in the competitive restaurant market, with plans to achieve over 100% annual unit growth over the next three to five years. The company is also exploring franchise opportunities and enhancing brand awareness through targeted marketing efforts. Despite the challenges posed by rising operational costs and a competitive landscape, Yoshiharu aims to optimize profitability by leveraging its growing scale and improving operational efficiencies.

Looking ahead, Yoshiharu remains optimistic about its growth trajectory, with plans to continue expanding its restaurant base and enhancing customer engagement. The company is also committed to addressing its internal control weaknesses, having taken steps to strengthen its accounting and financial reporting processes. As it navigates these challenges, Yoshiharu is focused on maintaining its position as a leading player in the Japanese dining segment while exploring new avenues for revenue generation.
