Business Wire Total GAAP Revenues Grew Year Over Year Owned Restaurant Cost of Sales as a Percent of Owned Restaurant Net Revenue Improved to 19.4% from 20.8% Operating Income Increased 30%, Adjusted EBITDA* Increased 12% Capital Expenditures, Net of Tenant Improvement Allowances, Reduced 23% Year-Over-Year as Company Prioritizes Capital-Efficient Growth and Free Cash Flow Generation The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2026. Highlights for the first quarter 2026 compared to the same quarter in 2025 are as follows: Total GAAP revenues increased 0.8% to $212.8 million from $211.1 million Consolidated comparable sales** decreased 0.3%, based on the same number of days year over year GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. increased to $3.2 million from $1.0 million Restaurant Operating Profit*** increased by 100 basis points to 19.1% of owned restaurant net revenue, excluding Grill Concepts restaurants closed, from 18.1% Adjusted EBITDA* attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. increased 12.1% to $28.8 million from $25.7 million “Our first quarter demonstrates strong continued momentum. We achieved positive comparable sales for the second quarter in a row at our flagship STK brand and saw substantial expansion in restaurant margins. STK’s 1.4% comparable sales growth and Benihana’s stable performance highlight the resilience of our distinctive Vibe Dining experience in a challenging consumer market. Our focused operational improvements – including food and beverage cost controls, menu refinement, integration synergies, and supply chain optimization – delivered a 100 basis point margin improvement overall. This is driven by impressive gains of 280 basis points at STK and 130 basis points at Benihana. With beef pricing secured through September 2026 and a strong operational foundation in place, we are confident in our ability to deliver on our full-year 2026 financial guidance,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group. “Our focus remains on strategic portfolio optimization and capital-efficient growth. In the first quarter, we generated $21.7 million in operating cash flow, reduced debt by $9.1 million, including eliminating our revolving facility balance entirely, and reduced capital expenditures by 23% year-over-year. We are on track to complete five Grill Concepts conversions by year-end, with our initial Scottsdale conversion achieving a 4x return on investment. Our asset-light expansion approach continues to gain traction, exemplified by our largest franchise agreement to date – our previously announced ten-unit deal for Benihana and Benihana Express restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area,” Hilario concluded. Strategic Portfolio Optimization Grill Concepts Rationalization: Closed six underperforming Grill locations in 2025 and one in 2026 Temporarily closed three Kona Grill restaurants and two RA Sushi restaurants in January 2026 for conversion to Benihana or STK formats by the end of 2026 Conversion economics: approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million, net per conversion with a one-year payback Expected outcome: 100% profitable Grill portfolio with enhanced margins Capital Efficiency Focus: Prioritizing asset-light and conversion-driven growth Targeting new company-owned openings averaging $1.5 million, net or less in build-out costs Significant reduction in discretionary capital expenditures to strengthen balance sheet Advancing existing pipeline of approximately 12 signed leases with limited new signings 2026 Restaurant Development Restaurant Location Date Owned Kona Grill (relocation) San Antonio, Texas January 2026 Converted franchised Benihana to owned Monterey, California February 2026 Converted a franchised Benihana Express to owned Miami, Florida March 2026 2026 Restaurant Development and Pipeline Currently Under Construction (3 locations): Owned STK restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona Owned STK restaurant in New York, New York (relocation of an existing STK restaurant) Owned Benihana restaurant in Seattle, Washington Asset-Light Expansion Highlights: Ten-restaurant franchise development agreement for Benihana/Benihana Express in Greater San Francisco Bay Area, California that accelerates West Coast expansion while maintaining capital discipline Two-restaurant commitment for a franchised Benihana and a licensed Benihana Express in the Florida Keys in partnership with experienced operator to ensure quality execution Liquidity As of March 29, 2026, the Company held $17.9 million in cash and short-term credit card receivables and had $33.7 million available under its revolving credit facility, or a total of $51.6 million in short term liquidity. Under the current conditions, the Company’s credit facility does not have any financial covenants. 2026 Financial Targets The Company is introducing the following second quarter financial targets and reiterating its full year financial targets, reflecting the benefits of portfolio optimization, operational improvements, and continued Benihana integration synergies.

We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort.

We use certain non-GAAP measures in analyzing operating performance and believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors and analysts with information that is beneficial to gaining an understanding of the Company's financial results.

Starting in Q4 2025, the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to closed Grill Concepts restaurants is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are included under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in this press release. * We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, lease termination and restaurant closure expenses, transition and integration expenses, transaction and exit costs, non-cash rent, non-cash impairment loss, non-recurring gains and losses, certain transactional and exit costs, loss on early debt extinguishment, and the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Grill Concepts restaurants closed. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA in this press release. ** Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, a non-GAAP financial measure, opened for at least a full 24-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions and new restaurant openings. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units in this press release. *** We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses.

In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements.

We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. We define Restaurant EBITDA as Restaurant Operating Profit minus non-cash rent. We believe Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA are an important component of financial results because: (i) they are widely used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA as key metrics to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

Strategic Portfolio Optimization Creating Long-Term Value
Cost Management Drives Restaurant Margin Improvement in Fourth Quarter
Full Year 2026 Financial Targets Introduced
The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 28, 2025.
Effective January 1, 2025, the Company adopted a new fiscal calendar structure using four 13-week quarters, with a 53rd week added when necessary. The 2025 fiscal year ran from January 1, 2025, to December 28, 2025.
This fiscal calendar change created timing differences that impacted quarterly comparisons: the fourth quarter of 2025 had 91 days versus 92 days in the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, the New Year’s Eve holiday shifted from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026. The exclusion of New Year’s Eve in the current year impacted total GAAP revenues by approximately 2.5%, representing 37% of the total GAAP revenue decline for the quarter.
Highlights for the fourth quarter 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024 are as follows:
Total GAAP revenues decreased 6.7% to $207 million from $222 million;
Consolidated comparable sales* decreased 1.8%;
GAAP net loss attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. increased to $6 million from a net income of $2 million primarily related to a non-cash loss on impairment of $7 million related to the Grill optimization strategy;
Restaurant Operating Profit** increased by 10 basis points to 19.5% of owned restaurant net revenue, excluding Grill Concepts restaurants closed or to be closed, from 19.4%; and,
Adjusted EBITDA*** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. decreased to $28 million from $31 million, with approximately $3 million of the decrease attributable to the New Year’s Eve holiday shift from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2026.
Highlights for the full year 2025 compared to the full year 2024 are as follows:
Total GAAP revenues increased 19.7% to $806 million from $673 million;
Consolidated comparable sales* decreased 3.7%;
GAAP net loss attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. increased to $92 million from a net loss of $17 million due primarily to an increase in the income tax expenses of $69 million, primarily related to the establishment of a non-cash tax valuation allowance, and non-cash lease termination and exits costs of $7 million coupled with a non-cash impairment of $11 million related to the Grill optimization strategy;
Adjusted Operating Income**** increased 15.2% to $38 million from $33 million; and,
Adjusted EBITDA*** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. increased 16.3% to $89 million, excluding approximately $4 million attributable to two days in fiscal year 2025 versus fiscal year 2024, from $76 million.
“Guests continue to choose our differentiated Vibe Dining concepts when they want memorable experiences. In the fourth quarter, consolidated comparable sales improved by four percentage points sequentially from the third quarter, with every brand contributing. So far in the first quarter, we are delivering positive consolidated comparable sales. These results confirm that our strategy is working, even in a challenging consumer environment,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.
“Our disciplined cost management initiatives continue to drive results. In the fourth quarter, we expanded our restaurant operating margins, even while facing sales deleveraging. Looking ahead, our operational foundation remains strong, supported by beef supply and pricing secured through September 2026 and significant cost synergies from the Benihana acquisition that we believe we have yet to fully capture,” Hilario continued.
“In 2025, we took decisive action to optimize our portfolio and position the company for sustained long-term growth. We closed six underperforming Grill locations and identified up to five additional units for conversion to our higher-performing Benihana or STK formats through 2026. Our first RA Sushi to STK conversion in Scottsdale, Arizona has exceeded expectations, operating at a run rate of approximately $7 million in annualized sales on an approximate $1 million capital investment. This validates the strength of this repositioning strategy. Additionally, we advanced our asset-light growth strategy by securing development rights for ten Benihana and Benihana Express locations in the San Francisco Bay Area, representing the largest franchise agreement in our Company's history. We have also secured a commitment for an additional franchised Benihana location and a licensed Benihana Express location in the Florida Keys,” Hilario concluded.
Strategic Portfolio Optimization
Grill Concepts Rationalization:
Closed six underperforming Grill locations in 2025 and one in 2026;
Identified up to five additional Grill units for conversion to Benihana or STK formats through 2026;
Conversion economics: approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million per conversion with a one-year payback; and
Expected outcome: 100% profitable Grill portfolio with enhanced margins.
Capital Efficiency Focus:
Prioritizing asset-light and conversion-driven growth;
Targeting new company-owned openings averaging $1.5 million or less in build-out costs;
Significant reduction in discretionary capital expenditures to strengthen balance sheet; and
Advancing existing pipeline of approximately 12 signed leases with limited new signings.

(1) We have not reconciled guidance for Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Definitions
We have evolved our definition of non-GAAP financial measures starting in Q4 2025. We use certain non-GAAP measures in analyzing operating performance and believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors and analysts with information that is beneficial to gaining an understanding of the Company's financial results. Non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.
We exclude items management does not consider in the evaluation of its ongoing core operating performance from Adjusted EBITDA. Starting in Q4 2025, the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to closed Grill Concepts restaurants is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are included under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in this press release.
*Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, a non-GAAP financial measure, opened for at least a full 24-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions and new restaurant openings. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units in this press release.
** We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, transition and integration expenses, loss on impairment of non-current assets, lease termination and exit expenses, transaction and exit costs, loss on early debt extinguishment, non-cash rent and the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the closed Grill Concepts restaurants. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA in this press release.
*** We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this press release.
**** We define Adjusted Operating Income as operating income (loss) before transition and integration expenses, loss on impairment of non-current assets, lease termination and exit expenses and transaction and exit costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted Operating Income occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted Operating Income has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA.
Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Grill Concepts restaurants closed or to be closed owned restaurant net revenue for the three periods ending March 30, 2025, June 29,2025, September 28, 2025 were $8.5 million, $7.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

Grill Concepts restaurants closed or to be closed owned restaurant net revenue for the three months ending March 31, 2024, June 30,2024, September 30, 2024 were $6.4 million, $9.7 million and $10.5 million, respectively.
Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. We define Restaurant EBITDA as Restaurant Operating Profit minus non-cash rent.
We believe Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA are an important component of financial results because: (i) they are widely used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA as key metrics to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.
