While tariffs collectively increased our costs of goods sold and other costs by 180 basis points, we were able to offset these increases with labor leverage of 190 basis points as compared to fiscal year 2025, driven by the technological innovation that is core to our concept. Our continued commitment to G&amp;A leverage is reflected in the 90 basis point improvement, and we were also able to grow Adjusted EBITDA margin and dollars as compared to fiscal year 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Review of Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2026 Financial Results<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Total sales were $88.9 million compared to $79.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The increase is primarily due to tariffs on imported ingredients, partially offset by increases in menu prices.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Labor and related costs as a percentage of sales were 30.4% compared to 31.1% in the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease is primarily due to operational efficiencies and pricing, partially offset by low-single digit wage inflation.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Occupancy and related expenses were $6.9 million compared to $5.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily due to sixteen new restaurants that have opened since the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Depreciation and amortization expense was $4.9 million compared to $3.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily due to sixteen new restaurants that have opened since the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Other costs as a percentage of sales were 14.6% compared to 15.0% in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to a one-time tariff refund benefit of approximately $0.5 million for some of our promotional items.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">General and administrative expenses were $9.9 million compared to $9.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to compensation-related costs of $0.5 million and $0.3 million of other net expenses, partially offset by a decrease in litigation costs of $0.2 million. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.2%, as compared to 11.7% in the fourth quarter of 2025, primarily due to sales leverage.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Impairment and disposal of long-lived assets were $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Operating loss was $0.6 million compared to an operating income of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Income tax expense was $86 thousand compared to $43 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Net loss was $0.3 million, or $(0.02) per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Adjusted net income* was $0.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income* of $2.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Restaurant-level operating profit* was $17.0 million, or 19.1% of sales, compared to $15.7 million, or 19.8% of sales, in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Adjusted EBITDA* was $7.7 million compared to $7.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Review of Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results <\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Total sales were $328.3 million compared to $282.8 million in fiscal year 2025.

Restaurant-level operating profit (loss) margin is defined as restaurant-level operating profit (loss) divided by sales.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>,<\/strong> a non-GAAP measure, is defined as general and administrative expenses before litigation expenses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. Adjusted General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of sales is defined as adjusted general and administrative expenses divided by sales.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>Comparable Restaurant Sales Performance <\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong>refers to the percent change in year-over-year sales for the comparable restaurant base. The Company includes restaurants in the comparable restaurant base that have been in operation for at least 18 full calendar months by the end of the accounting period presented due to new restaurants experiencing a period of higher sales upon opening. For restaurants that were temporarily closed the comparative period was also adjusted accordingly.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong><br \/>\n          <em>Average Unit Volumes (\u201cAUVs\u201d)<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/strong> consist of the average annual sales of all restaurants that have been open for 18 full calendar months or longer at the end of the fiscal year presented due to new restaurants experiencing a period of higher sales upon opening. AUVs are calculated by dividing (x) annual sales for the fiscal year presented for all such restaurants by (y) the total number of restaurants in that base. The Company makes fractional adjustments to sales for restaurants that were not open for the entire fiscal year presented (e.g., a restaurant is closed for renovation) to annualize sales for such associated period.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Non-GAAP Financial Measures<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">To supplement the financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (\u201cGAAP\u201d), the Company presents certain financial measures, such as adjusted net income (loss), EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, restaurant-level operating profit (loss), restaurant-level operating profit (loss) margin and adjusted general and administrative expenses (\u201cnon-GAAP measures\u201d) that are not recognized under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are intended as supplemental measures of its performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. The Company is presenting these non-GAAP measures because the Company believes that they provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to its financial condition and operating results. These measures also may not provide a complete understanding of the operating results of the Company as a whole and such measures should be reviewed in conjunction with its GAAP financial results. Additionally, the Company presents restaurant-level operating profit (loss) because it excludes the impact of general and administrative expenses which are not incurred at the restaurant-level. The Company also uses restaurant-level operating profit (loss) to measure operating performance and returns from opening new restaurants.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company\u2019s financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that restaurant-level operating profit (loss) and restaurant-level operating profit (loss) margin are financial measures which are not indicative of overall results for the Company, and restaurant-level operating profit (loss) and restaurant-level operating profit (loss) margin do not accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders because of corporate-level and certain other expenses excluded from such measures. In addition, you should be aware when evaluating these non-GAAP financial measures that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. The Company\u2019s presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. The Company\u2019s computation of these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate these non-GAAP financial measures in the same fashion. Because of these limitations, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its GAAP results and using these non-GAAP financial measures on a supplemental basis.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this press release or otherwise made by the Company\u2019s management in connection with the subject matter of this press release are forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) and involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various important factors.
