2025 Annual Earnings Highlights

Key Highlights

Operating Income Improvement Operating income reached $55.03M in 2025, up from $45.12M in 2024, driven by strategic pricing and labor efficiencies.
Restaurant Sales Growth Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.5% in 2025, primarily from a 5.3% average menu price increase offsetting traffic decline.
Net Income Rises Net income for 2025 was $46.38M, showing growth over $40.93M reported in 2024, reflecting better overall operating results.
Capital Investment Increased Capital expenditures totaled $158.65M in 2025, reflecting increased investment in maintenance and remodel initiatives supporting the strategic plan.

Risk Factors

Guest Traffic Declining Comparable restaurant guest traffic decreased 3.0% in 2025, which primarily impacted retail sales that fell 1.3% compared to prior year.
Inflationary Cost Pressures Inflationary pressures on commodities and labor costs continue; commodity inflation is expected to be 2.5% to 3.5% in 2026.
Retail Sales Softness Comparable store retail sales decreased 1.3% in 2025, mainly due to lower guest traffic derived from restaurant operations.
High Labor Cost Exposure Labor expenses remain high at 36.0% of total revenue; management currently expects wage inflation to be 3.0% to 4.0% in 2026.

Outlook

Strategic Plan Execution Multi-year strategic plan focuses on driving relevancy, delivering guest experience, and growing profitability across all business imperatives.
2026 Store Expansion Management plans to open two new Cracker Barrel stores during 2026, continuing the strategy focused on organic growth objectives.
