NEW YORK, Jan. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq CM: MRM), a holistic healthcare Company based in Japan (the “Company”), today announced its major Key Performance Indicators, or KPIs, updated for the month of December 2021. 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 December 2021.

The number of salons was 312 in December 2021, up from 290 in the year-ago period, primarily as a result of the acquisition of another salon brand in May 2021. Due to the closure of a thermal bath facility in the previous month, four (4) salons located within the facility were closed.
Total customers served increased to 71,173 in December 2021 from 64,649 in the year-ago period. The increase is primarily due to seasonal factors and the recovery of economic activity from COVID-19.
Sales per customer increased to JPY 6,634 in December 2021, up from JPY6,486 in December 2020. The increase is attributed to the upselling of value-added optional services.
Our repeat ratio, a measure of repeat customers, decreased to 81.7% in December 2021 from 82.6% in the year-ago period.
Our operation ratio was 50.5% in December 2021, increasing from 48.2% in the year-ago period.
The total number of salons with data was 221 in December 2021, no change from December 2020. The number of salons with data decreases when we close salons with data available and increases as we open salons with such data.
