Mos Burger's first-half profit falls a third as costs rise, even as a July acquisition inflates group revenue
Mos Food Services cut its full-year forecast after operating profit fell 24.1% in the first half -- a near-identical pattern to Matsuya Foods the same day -- even though same-store sales at Mos Burger itself genuinely outpaced Japan's eating-out spending.
Mos Food Services (モスフードサービス), which runs the Mos Burger (モスバーガー) chain, said first-half operating profit fell 24.1% to ¥3.07 billion and net profit fell 35.5% to ¥1.83 billion, even as group revenue rose 15.6% to ¥58.68 billion, in results covering April to September 2026 published November 13. The company cut its full-year forecast.
