Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present net income and net income per share excluding the impact of certain items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by eliminating from net income and diluted net income per share the impact of items the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operations. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.

“We delivered solid fourth quarter and full-year results in 2025, generating record annual revenue supported by 25 new restaurant openings for the year,” said David Overton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite a more challenging operating environment across the restaurant industry, including weather-related impacts, revenue for the quarter finished within our expected range. Margins and adjusted diluted net income per share finished toward the higher end of our expectations, reflecting the resilience of our business and strong operational execution. Our operators remained focused on the factors within their control, delivering year-over-year improvements in labor productivity, wage management, hourly staff and manager retention, and guest satisfaction.
“During the fourth quarter, we opened seven new restaurants and delivered approximately 7% unit growth for the year. Looking ahead, we expect to open as many as 26 restaurants this year, and with a strong pipeline in place we remain confident in our ability to achieve our development goal.
“Underscoring our confidence in the strength and consistency of the business, we also announced an increase of 5.0 million shares to our repurchase authorization and raised our quarterly dividend to $0.30 per share. While the operating environment remains competitive, our strong operational execution, continued menu innovation, and portfolio of high-quality concepts differentiate our business and position us well for long-term growth and shareholder value creation.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present net income and net income per share excluding the impact of certain items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by eliminating from net income and diluted net income per share the impact of items the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operations. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.

(1) A detailed breakdown of impairment of assets and lease termination expenses recorded in the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 can be found in the Selected Segment Information table.
(2) Represents changes in the fair value of the deferred consideration and contingent consideration and compensation liabilities related to the North Italia and FRC acquisition, as well as amortization of acquired definite-lived licensing agreements.
(3) Represents gift card breakage revenue of $17.3 million as a result of a change in historical redemption patterns, partially offset by a non-recurring $7.9 million write-down of gift card inventory.
(4) Represents premium paid and acceleration of previously unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of partial redemption of our convertible senior notes due 2026.
(5) Represents a reserve for uncertain tax position related to tenant improvements allowances and Section 199 deductions. Uncertain tax positions taken in a tax return are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities based on technical merits, taking into account available administrative remedies and litigation.
(6) Based on the federal statutory rate and an estimated blended state tax rate, the tax effect on all adjustments assumes a 26% tax rate for the fiscal 2025 and 2024 periods.
(7) Adjusted net income per share may not add due to rounding.
