Q1 2026 earnings summary8 Aug, 2025

Executive summary

  • Total revenues increased 5% year-over-year to $46.998 million for the quarter ended June 29, 2025, driven by higher Branded Product Program sales and price increases, despite lower Company-owned restaurant sales and license royalties.

  • Net income was $8.928 million, down from $9.277 million year-over-year, reflecting higher cost of sales and labor expenses offset by lower interest expense and higher interest income.

  • Earnings per diluted share were $2.16, compared to $2.27 year-over-year.

  • Inflationary pressures on commodity prices, especially beef, and labor costs continued to impact results, with management taking actions such as price increases and cost controls.

  • The company paid a $0.50 per share quarterly dividend and maintained a strong cash position of $26.867 million at quarter-end.

Financial highlights

  • Branded Product Program sales rose 11% to $29.075 million, driven by an 8% increase in average selling price.

  • Company-owned restaurant sales decreased 5% to $3.986 million due to lower traffic at Coney Island locations from unfavorable weather.

  • License royalties fell 4% to $12.381 million, mainly from a 15% drop in retail volume, partially offset by a 12% increase in net selling price.

  • Adjusted EBITDA was $13.531 million, compared to $14.281 million in the prior year quarter.

  • Income from operations was $12.791 million, down from $13.745 million year-over-year.

Outlook and guidance

  • Management anticipates continued inflationary pressures on beef and labor costs throughout fiscal 2026, with potential further price adjustments to offset cost increases.

  • Sufficient liquidity is expected to fund operations, debt service, dividends, and potential share repurchases for at least the next 12 months.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
