\nCAVA Group, Inc. (NYSE: CAVA) (\u201cCAVA Group\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the category-defining Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant brand that brings heart, health, and humanity to food, today announced financial results for its fiscal third quarter ended October 5, 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cQ3 of 2025 delivered another quarter of market share growth, while we continued to reinforce our value proposition, rooted in the quality, relevance, convenience, and experience that we are known for,” said Brett Schulman, Co-Founder and CEO. \u201cSame restaurant sales grew 1.9% in the quarter and accelerated 350 basis points to 20.0%, on a two-year basis. We opened 17 net new restaurants and grew revenue by 20.0%. Despite lapping strong prior-year results and navigating macroeconomic headwinds, the underlying strength of our model is evident. New restaurant productivity remains above 100%, with our 2025 cohort trending above $3 million in average unit volumes\u2014clear proof of the brand\u2019s portability and resonance across the country.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Highlights:<\/b><\/p>\n CAVA Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Review:<\/b><\/p>\n \nCAVA Revenue was $289.8 million, an increase of 20.0% compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by 74 Net New CAVA Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal 2024, which are exceeding our performance expectations, and CAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth of 1.9% primarily from menu price and product mix with guest traffic being approximately flat.\n<\/p>\n \nCAVA Restaurant-Level Profit Margin was 24.6% compared with 25.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease was due to: a higher mix of third-party delivery, insurance costs, and other individually insignificant items within other operating expenses; higher food, beverage, and packaging costs primarily associated with the impact of tariffs and the launch of chicken shawarma; and incremental wage investments. The decrease was partially offset by leverage from higher sales.\n<\/p>\n CAVA Group Fiscal Third Quarter 2025 Review:<\/b><\/p>\n \nGeneral and administrative expenses were $31.5 million, or 10.8% of revenue, as compared to $29.8 million, or 12.2% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. General and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation and executive transition costs1<\/sup>, were $27.4 million, or 9.4% of revenue, as compared to $26.3 million, or 10.8% of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease of 140 basis points was primarily due to lower performance-based incentive compensation, leverage from higher sales, and lower legal costs, partially offset by investments to support future growth.\n<\/p>\n \nNet income was $14.7 million, or 5.0% of revenue compared to $18.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. Assuming a consistent effective tax rate allocated to each fiscal quarter in the prior year (excluding the benefit from the release of the valuation allowance), Adjusted Net Income1<\/sup> in the prior year quarter was $15.0 million. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income1 <\/sup>was due to a higher effective tax rate and higher depreciation and amortization, partially offset by improved operating performance as noted below.\n<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA1<\/sup> was $40.0 million, or 13.7% of revenue, an increase of $6.6 million, or 19.6%, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase was primarily driven by the number of and continued strength in the performance of Net New CAVA Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the third quarter of fiscal 2024 and leverage in general and administrative expenses.\n<\/p>\n \n1\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nGeneral and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation and executive transition costs, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth in the tables at the end of this press release.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Fiscal Full-Year 2025 Outlook:<\/b><\/p>\n \nCAVA Group announced today that it updated fiscal full-year 2025 guidance, as follows:\n<\/p>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n August 12, 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n November 4, 2025<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet New CAVA Restaurant Openings\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n68 to 70\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n68 to 70\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nCAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n4.0% to 6.0%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n3.0% to 4.0%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nCAVA Restaurant-Level Profit Margin\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n24.8% to 25.2%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n24.4% to 24.8%\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nPre-opening costs\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$15.5 to $16.5 million\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$18.0 to $19.0 million\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$152.0 to $159.0 million\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$148.0 to $152.0 million\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \nActual results may differ materially from CAVA Group\u2019s fiscal full-year 2025 guidance as a result of, among other things, the factors described under \u201cForward-Looking Statements\u201d below.\n<\/p>\n \nA reconciliation of the forward-looking fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to net income cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.\n<\/p>\n About CAVA Group:<\/b><\/p>\n \nCAVA is the category-defining Mediterranean fast-casual restaurant brand, bringing together healthful food and bold, satisfying flavors at scale.

Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements relate to matters such as our industry, business strategy, goals, expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources, and other financial and operating information. These statements may include words such as \u201canticipate,\u201d \u201cassume,\u201d \u201cbelieve,\u201d \u201ccontinue,\u201d \u201ccould,\u201d \u201cestimate,\u201d \u201cexpect,\u201d \u201cintend,\u201d \u201cmay,\u201d \u201cplan,\u201d \u201cpotential,\u201d \u201cpredict,\u201d \u201cproject,\u201d \u201cfuture,\u201d \u201cwill,\u201d \u201cseek,\u201d \u201cforeseeable,\u201d \u201coutlook,\u201d the negative version of these words or similar terms and phrases.\n<\/p>\n \nThe forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on management\u2019s current expectations and are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties, assumptions, or changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict or quantify. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith, and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that management\u2019s expectations, beliefs, and projections will result or be achieved. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to changes in global, regional, or local economic, business, competitive, market, regulatory, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We believe that these factors include but are not limited to the following: we operate in a highly competitive industry; our future growth depends on our ability to open new restaurants while managing our growth effectively and maintaining our culture, and our historical growth may not be indicative of our future growth; we may not be able to successfully identify appropriate locations and develop and expand our operations in existing and new markets; new restaurants may not be profitable and may negatively impact sales at our existing locations; negative changes in guest perception of our brand could negatively impact our business; our efforts to market our restaurants and brand may not be successful; food safety issues, and food-borne illness concerns may harm our business; if we are unable to maintain or increase prices, our margins may decrease; the growth of our business depends on our ability to accurately predict guest trends and demand and successfully introduce new menu offerings and improve our existing menu offerings; economic factors and guest behavior trends, which are uncertain and largely beyond our control, may adversely affect guests\u2019 behavior and our ability to maintain or increase sales at our restaurants; we are subject to risks associated with leasing property; we may not be able to successfully expand our digital and delivery business, which is subject to risks outside of our control; our inability or failure to utilize, recognize, respond to, and effectively manage the immediacy of social media could have a material adverse effect on our business; we may not realize the anticipated benefits from past and potential future acquisitions, investments, or other strategic initiatives; we may not be able to manage our manufacturing and supply chain effectively, which may adversely affect our results of operations; our reliance on third parties could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations; we may experience shortages, delays, or interruptions in the delivery of food items and other products; we may not successfully optimize, operate, and manage our production facilities; we may face increases in food, commodity, energy, and other costs; we may face increases in labor costs, labor shortages, and difficulties in our ability to identify, hire, train, motivate, and retain the right team members; our success depends on our ability to attract, develop, and retain our management team and key team members; security breaches of our electronic processing of credit and debit card transactions, the CAVA app, or confidential guest or team member information (including personal information) may adversely affect our business; our business is subject to complex and evolving laws and regulations regarding privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity; we rely heavily on information technology systems and failures of, or interruptions in, or not effectively scaling and adapting our information technology systems could harm our business; we are subject to evolving rules and regulations with respect to environmental, social and governance matters; climate change and volatile adverse weather conditions could adversely affect our restaurant sales or results of operations; and each of the other factors set forth in \u201cPart I\u2014Item 1A. Risk Factors\u201d in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024, and in other reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, all of which are available on the investor relations page of our website at investor.cava.com.\n<\/p>\n \nThe forward-looking statements included in this press release are made only as of the date hereof. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release speaks only as of the date of this press release and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this press release. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them.\n<\/p>\n Non-GAAP Financial Measures:<\/b><\/p>\n \nIn addition to our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, general and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation and executive transition costs, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow in this press release as supplemental measures of financial performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our operating performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, general and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation and executive transition costs, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow are useful to investors in highlighting trends in our operating performance, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, general and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation and executive transition costs, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide.\n<\/p>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, general and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation and executive transition costs, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share, and Free Cash Flow are not recognized terms under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, net income margin, or general and administrative expenses, as applicable, as measures of financial performance or cash provided by operating activities as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for management\u2019s discretionary use, as Adjusted EBITDA does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax payments and financing cash flows, and Free Cash Flow does not consider certain cash requirements such as financing cash flows. Our non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:\n<\/p>\n CAVA GROUP, INC.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

comparison of fiscal weeks in the CAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth calculation in fiscal 2024, giving consideration to holiday periods, each week of fiscal 2023 was shifted by one week due to the 53rd week of fiscal year 2023. As a result of this shift, approximately $3.9 million of revenue is not included in CAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth for Q1 2024, and an additional $4.0 million of revenue is included in CAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth for Q4 2024. Had this shift not been made, CAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth would have been 18.3% in Q4 2024. CAVA Same Restaurant Sales Growth would have been immaterially impacted in Q2 2024, Q3 2024, and for the full year fiscal 2024.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n2\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nFor purposes of calculating CAVA AUV for Q4 2024, Q1 2025, Q2 2025, and Q3 2025, the applicable measurement period is the trailing thirteen periods ended December 29, 2024, April 20, 2025, July 13, 2025, and October 5, 2025 respectively.
