2026 Q1 Earnings Highlights
Key Highlights
Sales Growth Driven By Units Sales reached $73.5M for the quarter, a 14.0% increase, driven by thirteen new restaurants and menu price adjustments.
Restaurant Base Expansion Continues Total restaurant count reached 83 locations by period end; four new restaurants opened during the three months ended November 30, 2025.
Total Assets Increased Total assets grew to $443.5M as of November 30, 2025, up from $431.0M at the prior fiscal year end.
Net Loss Significantly Widened Net loss totaled $(3.1)M, representing a 218.4% increase in loss magnitude compared to the prior year period results.
Risk Factors
Comparable Sales Performance Declined Comparable restaurant sales decreased by 2.5%, driven by negative traffic of 2.5% despite flat price/mix performance.
Operating Loss Deterioration Operating loss widened to $(3.7)M, increasing 149.6% year-over-year due to higher operating costs outpacing sales growth.
Food Cost Inflation Pressure Food and beverage costs increased 17.5%, primarily driven by tariff impacts, partially offset by recent menu price increases.
Cash Position Decreased Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $12.1M during the quarter, ending at $35.4M balance on November 30, 2025.
Outlook
Aggressive Future Unit Growth Company expects to open a total of 16 new restaurants in fiscal year 2026 to support anticipated revenue increase.
Secured Financing Flexibility Filed a $100.0M universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 subsequent to the reporting period end date.
Liquidity Sufficient for 12 Months Management believes current cash flows and balances are sufficient to fund obligations and capital needs for next 12 months.
Offsetting Tariff Impacts Menu price increases implemented are expected to partially offset the considerable impact of import laws and tariffs in fiscal year 2026.
