KURA SUSHI USA, INC. 8-K

What Happened

• On April 7, 2026, Kura Sushi USA, Inc. (KRUS) filed an 8‑K announcing earnings and other financial results for its fiscal second quarter ended February 28, 2026, and scheduled a conference call for 5:00 p.m. EDT on April 7, 2026 to review the results. The company furnished a press release with the results (Exhibit 99.1).
• Separately, Jeffrey J. Uttz notified the company on April 2, 2026 that he will resign as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer effective April 28, 2026 to accept a new role in the restaurant industry. The company stated the resignation was not due to any disagreement with management.

A press release about the resignation was filed as Exhibit 99.2.

Key Details

• Quarter reported: fiscal Q2 ended February 28, 2026; results disclosed April 7, 2026 (press release Exhibit 99.1).
• Investor call: April 7, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. EDT to discuss Q2 results.
• CFO change: Jeffrey J. Uttz notified April 2, 2026; resignation effective April 28, 2026.
• Interim coverage: President & CEO Hajime Uba will act as Interim CFO with no change in compensation; company has begun an executive search.

Why It Matters

• The 8‑K combines two material items for investors: quarterly financial results (earnings/revenue/quarterly results) and a CFO transition. Investors should review the April 7 press release and listen to the conference call for the actual financial metrics and management commentary.
• A CFO departure creates a temporary change in financial leadership; the company’s disclosure that the resignation was not due to disagreement and that the CEO will serve as interim may reassure some investors, but stakeholders should watch for announcements about a permanent CFO hire and any impacts on financial reporting or guidance.
