RETURN TO POSITIVE TRANSACTIONS DRIVES 0.5% COMPARABLE RESTAURANT SALES GROWTH; REVENUE INCREASES 7.4% TO $3.1 BILLIONNEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) today reported financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2026.First quarter highlights, year over year: Total revenue increased 7.4% to $3.1 billionComparable restaurant sales increased 0.5%Operating margin was 12.9%, a decrease from 16.7%Adjusted restaurant level operating margin1 was 23.7%, a decrease from 26.2%Diluted earnings per share was $0.23, a 17.9% decrease from $0.28Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 was $0.24, a 17.2% decrease from $0.29Opened 49 company-owned restaurants, with 42 locations including a Chipotlane."Our first quarter exceeded expectations as we advanced our Recipe for Growth strategy, delivering tangible progress across operations, digital, menu innovation, people, and development," said Scott Boatwright, Chief Executive Officer, Chipotle. "We are excited to welcome a new Chief Brand Officer and a new Chief Digital Officer to further strengthen our value proposition, sharpen our brand messaging, and accelerate innovation—positioning Chipotle for sustained, long-term growth as we advance on our path to becoming a global iconic brand."Results for the three months ended March 31, 2026: Total revenue in the first quarter of 2026 was $3.1 billion, an increase of 7.4% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by new restaurant openings and, to a lesser extent, a 0.5% increase in comparable restaurant sales due to higher transactions of 0.6%, partially offset by a 0.1% decrease in average check. Digital sales represented 38.6% of total food and beverage revenue.During the first quarter we opened 49 company-owned restaurants, of which 42 included a Chipotlane. Chipotlanes continue to perform well and are helping enhance guest access and convenience, as well as increase new restaurant sales, margins and returns.Food, beverage and packaging costs in the first quarter of 2026 were 29.6% of total revenue, an increase from 29.2% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by inflation, primarily in beef and freight, and higher produce usage. These increases were partially offset by lower dairy and avocado costs, and the benefit of menu price increases.Labor costs in the first quarter of 2026 were 26.1% of total revenue, an increase from 25.0% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by wage inflation, lower average restaurant sales volumes, and higher benefits expense, including performance-based bonuses. These headwinds were partially offset by the benefit of menu price increases. Excluding a 40 basis point impact from costs related to certain legal proceedings, adjusted labor costs1 were 25.7% of total revenue, compared to 25.0% in the first quarter of 2025.1Adjusted restaurant level operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted labor costs, adjusted net income, adjusted general and administrative expenses, and non-GAAP effective income tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to GAAP measures and further information are set forth in the table at the end of this press release. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2026 were $203.7 million, compared to $172.8 million in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by our biennial All Managers Conference held in the first quarter of 2026, performance bonuses and wages, and benefited from lower stock-based compensation. Adjusted general and administrative expenses1 for the first quarter of 2026 were $197.9 million, compared to $160.9 million in the first quarter of 2025.The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 25.4%, an increase from 22.9% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase was driven by a reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting, fewer tax credits, and an increase in other discrete income tax items.Net income for the first quarter of 2026 was $302.8 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $386.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income1 for the first quarter of 2026 was $316.2 million, or $0.24 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $396.8 million, or $0.29 per adjusted diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025.During the first quarter of 2026 we repurchased $700.8 million of stock at an average price per share of $36.14. As of March 31, 2026, $1.0 billion remained available under share repurchase authorizations from our Board of Directors. The repurchase authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.More information will be available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which will be filed with the SEC in April 2026.OutlookFor 2026, management is anticipating the following:Full year comparable restaurant sales to be about flat350 to 370 new restaurant openings, which includes 10 to 15 international partner-operated restaurants. Around 80% of company-owned restaurants will have a ChipotlaneAn estimated underlying effective full year tax rate between 24% and 26% before discrete itemsDefinitionsThe following definitions apply to these terms as used throughout this release:Comparable restaurant sales, or sales comps, and comparable restaurant transactions, represent the change in period-over-period total revenue or transactions for company-owned restaurants in operation for at least 13 full calendar months.Average restaurant sales refers to the average trailing 12-month food and beverage revenue for company-owned restaurants in operation for at least 12 full calendar months.Restaurant level operating margin represents total revenue less direct restaurant operating costs, expressed as a percent of total revenue.Digital sales represent food and beverage revenue for company-owned restaurants generated through the Chipotle website, Chipotle app or third-party delivery aggregators. Digital sales include revenue deferrals associated with Chipotle Rewards.Partner-operated restaurants - Chipotle restaurants over which Chipotle does not have a controlling financial interest and for which Chipotle does not directly manage day-to-day operations.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESBelow are definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures in this release. The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.Adjusted net income is net income excluding certain legal proceedings, restructuring expenses and stock-based compensation retention.Adjusted labor is labor expense excluding expenses related to certain legal proceedings.Adjusted general and administrative expense is general and administrative expense excluding expenses related to restructuring, certain legal proceedings, and stock-based compensation retention.The adjusted effective income tax rate is the effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the after-tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments.Restaurant level operating margin is equal to the revenues generated by our restaurants less direct restaurant operating costs, which consist of food, beverage and packaging, labor, occupancy and other operating costs, expressed as a percent of total revenue. This performance measure primarily includes the costs that restaurant level managers can directly control and excludes other costs that are essential to conduct our business. Management uses restaurant level operating margin as a measure of restaurant performance. Management believes restaurant level operating margin is useful because it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures.Adjusted restaurant level operating margin is equal to the restaurant level operating margin excluding certain legal proceedings, expressed as a percent of total revenue. Management uses adjusted restaurant level operating margin as a measure of restaurant performance. Management believes adjusted restaurant level operating margin is useful because it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP financial measures.We present these non-GAAP measures to facilitate a meaningful evaluation of our operating performance across periods. These adjustments are intended to provide greater transparency of underlying performance and to allow investors to evaluate our business on the same basis as management, which uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating our performance.Our adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted labor expenses, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted effective income tax rate, restaurant level operating margin, and adjusted restaurant level operating margin measures may not be comparable to other companies' adjusted measures. These adjustments are not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial performance would have been during the periods presented and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further details regarding these adjustments are included in the tables below.

Against a dynamic consumer backdrop, we opened a record number of restaurants globally and grew Q4 and full year revenue," said Scott Boatwright, Chief Executive Officer, Chipotle. "This momentum will fuel our next phase of growth, driven by our 'Recipe for Growth' strategy which leans into what uniquely differentiates our brand to accelerate transactions and expand our footprint globally."Results for the three months ended December 31, 2025: Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 was $3.0 billion, an increase of 4.9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in total revenue was driven by new restaurant openings and gift card breakage revenue of $27.0 million, which represented a $19.1 million increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Gift card breakage revenue does not impact comparable restaurant sales. These increases were partially offset by a 2.5% decrease in comparable restaurant sales due to lower transactions of 3.2%, partially offset by a 0.7% increase in average check. Digital sales represented 37.2% of total food and beverage revenue.During the fourth quarter we opened 132 company-owned restaurants, of which 97 included a Chipotlane, and seven international partner-operated restaurants. Chipotlanes continue to perform well and are helping enhance guest access and convenience, as well as increase new restaurant sales, margins and returns.Food, beverage and packaging costs in the fourth quarter of 2025 were 30.2% of total revenue, a decrease from 30.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the benefit of menu price increases, lower dairy costs, and cost of sales efficiencies. These decreases were partially offset by inflation, primarily in beef and chicken, and the impact from tariffs enacted in 2025.Labor costs in the fourth quarter of 2025 were 25.5% of total revenue, an increase from 25.2% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower sales volumes and wage inflation, partially offset by the benefit from menu price increases and higher bonuses in the prior year.General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $160.3 million, compared to $191.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower stock-based compensation, performance bonuses and legal reserves. On a non-GAAP basis, general and administrative expenses1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $162.1 million, compared to $174.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 was 23.7%, a decrease from 24.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by increases in U.S. federal income tax credits.Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $330.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $331.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income1 for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $331.3 million, or $0.25 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $340.0 million, or $0.25 per adjusted diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2024.During the fourth quarter of 2025 we repurchased $741.6 million of stock at an average price per share of $34.14. As of December 31, 2025, $1.7 billion remained available under share repurchase authorizations from our Board of Directors. The repurchase authorization may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.Results for the full year ended December 31, 2025: Total revenue for 2025 was $11.9 billion, an increase of 5.4% compared to 2024. The increase in total revenue was primarily driven by new restaurant openings. The increase was partially offset by a 1.7% decrease in comparable restaurant sales due to lower transactions of 2.9%, partially offset by a 1.2% increase in average check. Digital sales represented 36.7% of total food and beverage revenue.As of December 31, 2025, there were a total of 4,056 Chipotle restaurants including 14 international partner-operated restaurants. During 2025, we opened 334 company-owned restaurants, of which 257 included a Chipotlane, and 11 international partner-operated restaurants.Food, beverage and packaging costs for 2025 were 29.6% of total revenue, a decrease from 29.8% in 2024. The decrease was due to the benefit of menu price increases and, to a lesser extent, cost of sales efficiencies. These decreases were partially offset by inflation, primarily in beef and chicken, and the tariffs enacted in 2025.Labor costs for 2025 were 25.1% of total revenue, an increase from 24.7% in 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower sales volumes and wage inflation, partially offset by the benefit from menu price increases.General and administrative expenses for 2025 were $652.0 million, compared to $697.5 million for 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower performance bonuses and legal reserves. On a non-GAAP basis, general and administrative expenses1 for 2025 were $621.6 million compared to $686.8 million for 2024.The effective income tax rate for 2025 was 23.6%, a decrease from 23.7% in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to increases in U.S. federal income tax credits and a reduction in nondeductible expenses. These decreases were partially offset with a reduction in excess tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting.Net income for 2025 was $1.54 billion, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to $1.53 billion, or $1.11 per diluted share, in 2024. Adjusted net income1 for 2025 was $1.57 billion, or $1.17 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $1.54 billion, or $1.12 per adjusted diluted share, in 2024.During 2025, we repurchased $2.4 billion of stock at an average price per share of $42.54.More information will be available in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which will be filed with the SEC in early February 2026."Recipe for Growth" StrategyChipotle's "Recipe for Growth" strategy is leaning into what uniquely differentiates the brand, all to accelerate growth and sharpen competitiveness.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURESBelow are definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures in this release. The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.Adjusted net income is net income excluding restaurant asset impairment and gains, corporate asset impairment and gains, expenses/(reductions) related to certain legal proceedings, stock-based compensation forfeiture, stock-based compensation retention grants, and loss on investments. Adjusted general and administrative expense is general and administrative expense excluding expenses related to certain legal proceedings, stock-based compensation forfeiture and stock-based compensation retention grants. The adjusted effective income tax rate is the effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the after tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments. Restaurant level operating margin is equal to the revenues generated by our restaurants less their direct operating costs which consist of food, beverage and packaging, labor, occupancy and other operating costs, expressed as a percent of total revenue. This performance measure primarily includes the costs that restaurant level managers can directly control and excludes other costs that are essential to conduct our business. Management uses restaurant level operating margin as a measure of restaurant performance. Management believes restaurant level operating margin is useful to investors in that it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. We present these non-GAAP measures in order to facilitate meaningful evaluation of our operating performance across periods. These adjustments are intended to provide greater transparency of underlying performance and to allow investors to evaluate our business on the same basis as our management, which uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating the company's performance.
