Insights

Chipotle's Q2 shows mixed results with revenue growth but declining comps, though positive momentum returned in June.

Chipotle delivered mixed second quarter results with $3.1 billion in revenue, growing 3.0% year-over-year despite facing headwinds in comparable sales. The company experienced a 4.0% decline in comparable restaurant sales, driven primarily by a 4.9% drop in transactions, partially offset by a modest 0.9% increase in average check. This performance indicates Chipotle is currently navigating a challenging traffic environment while maintaining its expansion strategy.

The restaurant-level operating margin contracted to 27.4% from 28.9% in the year-ago quarter, while overall operating margin declined to 18.2% from 19.7%. This margin compression occurred despite improvements in food costs, which decreased to 28.9% of revenue from 29.4% last year. The margin pressure stemmed primarily from labor costs rising to 24.7% of revenue from 24.1%, as fixed labor expenses were spread across lower sales volumes.

Chipotle's expansion strategy remains aggressive with 61 new company-owned restaurants opened during the quarter, 77% of which include Chipotlanes. These drive-through lanes continue enhancing convenience while delivering higher sales, margins, and returns compared to traditional formats. Digital sales represented 35.5% of total revenue, highlighting the company's successful omnichannel approach.

The silver lining in this report is the return to positive comparable sales and transactions in June, suggesting the company's summer marketing initiatives are gaining traction as year-over-year comparisons ease. Management's outlook for "about flat" full-year comparable sales indicates expectations for continued improvement in the second half. Additionally, Chipotle's $435.9 million in share repurchases at an average price of $50.16 demonstrates management's confidence in the company's long-term prospects.

HIGHLIGHTS RETURN TO POSITIVE COMPARABLE SALES AND TRANSACTIONS IN JUNE

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) today reported financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Secondquarter highlights, year over year:

  • Total revenue increased 3.0% to $3.1 billion
  • Comparable restaurant sales decreased 4.0%
  • Operating margin was 18.2%, a decrease from 19.7%
  • Restaurant level operating margin1 was 27.4%, a decrease from 28.9%
  • Diluted earnings per share was $0.32, a 3.0% decrease from $0.33
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per share1 was $0.33, a 2.9% decrease from $0.34
  • Opened 61 company-owned restaurants with 47 locations including a Chipotlane

"We are seeing momentum build as we rolled out our summer marketing initiatives and as our comparisons ease," said Scott Boatwright, Chief Executive Officer, Chipotle. "Our talented restaurant teams remain focused on delivering hand-crafted meals in abundance with the best ingredients, made fresh daily using classic culinary techniques at a value you cannot find anywhere else. I am optimistic that our positive momentum will continue as we further support our world-class people with new tools to improve execution, introduce new menu innovations, amplify our rewards program, and introduce this great brand to more communities around the globe."

Results for the three months ended June 30, 2025:
Total revenue in the second quarter of 2025 was $3.1 billion, an increase of 3.0% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The increase in total revenue was driven by new restaurant openings. Comparable restaurant sales decreased 4.0% due to lower transactions of 4.9%, partially offset by a 0.9% increase in average check. Digital sales represented 35.5% of total food and beverage revenue.

During the second quarter we opened 61 company-owned restaurants, of which 47 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 second quarter of 2025 were 28.9% of total revenue, a decrease from 29.4% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the benefit of menu price increases in 2024 and from cost of sales efficiencies. This decrease was partially offset by inflation across several ingredient costs, primarily steak and chicken.

Labor costs in the second quarter of 2025 were 24.7% of total revenue, an increase from 24.1% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower sales volumes. The benefit from menu price increases in 2024 and efficient management of labor more than offset wage inflation.

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $172.2 million, compared to $175.0 million in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower performance bonuses and stock-based compensation. On a non-GAAP basis, general and administrative expenses1 for the second quarter of 2025 were $159.9 million, compared to $171.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.

The effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2025 was 24.5%, a decrease from 25.0% in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower non-deductible expenses, partially offset by a reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting.

Net income for the second quarter of 2025 was $436.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $455.7 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income1 for the second quarter of 2025 was $450.4 million, or $0.33 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $463.0 million, or $0.34 per adjusted diluted share in the second quarter of 2024.

During the second quarter of 2025 we repurchased $435.9 million of stock at an average price per share of $50.16. As of June30, 2025, $838.8 million remained available under share repurchase authorizations from our Board of Directors, including an additional $400 million in authorizations approved by our Board of Directors on June10, 2025. 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 by the end of July 2025.

  • About flat full year comparable restaurant sales

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Below 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 lease remeasurement gains, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, 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 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. 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. Our adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted effective income tax rate and 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.
