NEW YORK, Sept. 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (NasdaqCM: MRM), a holistic healthcare company based in Japan (the “Company”), today announced its major Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, updated for the month of August 2022. Data is provided for all salons for which comparative financial and customer data is available and excludes certain salons where such information is not available.
The following monthly KPIs provide insight into the business fundamentals and progress of the Company, updated for the month of August 2022.
- The number of salons was 311 in August 2022, down from 315 in the year-ago period. From August 2021 to August 2022, 14 unprofitable salons were closed through scrap-and-build and 10 new salons were opened.
- Total customers served increased to 72,250 in August 2022 from 66,323 in the year-ago period. The increase is primarily attributed to the increase in the number of salons with available financial and customer data and economic recovery from COVID-19 pandemic.
- Sales per customer increased to JPY 6,705 in August 2022 from JPY 6,592 in August 2021. The increase is primarily attributed to the upselling of value-added optional services.
- Repeat ratio, a measure of repeat customers, decreased to 80.1% in August 2022 from 81.3% in the year-ago period.
- Operation ratio increased to 49.8% in August 2022 from 46.5% in the year-ago period. The increase is primarily attributed to the adjustment of staffing according to salon scale.
- The total number of salons with data increased to 232 in August 2022 from 221 in August 2021. The increase is attributed to the completion of the replacement of the customer management system in certain salons. The number of salons with data decreases when we close salons with data available and increases as we open salons with such data.
