Toridoll's Marugame Seimen posts record first-half sales, but labour costs cut the chain's profit
Marugame Seimen, one of the most ubiquitous casual-dining tenants on Japan's mall and station floors, posted record first-half sales for parent Toridoll Holdings, but rising labour costs cut the chain's own profit -- and a separate one-off overseas restructuring charge pulled the group's statutory operating profit down too.
Toridoll Holdings Corporation (株式会社トリドールホールディングス), operator of the Marugame Seimen udon chain, reported revenue of ¥145.2bn for the six months to September 30, 2026, up 2.4% year on year, according to its IFRS results. Operating profit fell 4.2% to ¥11.9bn, but net profit still rose 4.5% to ¥6.2bn as the comparison benefited from one-off costs that had weighed on the prior year. Full-year guidance was left unchanged.
