Noble Roman's (OTCQB:NROM) reported strong performance in its Craft Pizza & Pub segment for May 2025, achieving its highest profit contribution since August 2022 and third-highest monthly profit ever. Same-store sales increased by 9.3% compared to May 2024, following a 2.7% increase in April. CEO Scott Mobley attributed the success to operational consistency, cost control measures, and favorable cheese prices. The company maintained a value-oriented promotional strategy to drive guest counts despite margin pressures. While June sales are expected to show growth similar to April's performance, management notes challenges from rising cheese prices and uncertain consumer behavior due to vacation patterns and current events.
Noble Roman's (OTCQB:NROM) ha riportato una forte performance nel suo segmento Craft Pizza & Pub per maggio 2025, raggiungendo il contributo di profitto più alto da agosto 2022 e il terzo miglior profitto mensile di sempre. Le vendite a parità di negozi sono aumentate del 9,3% rispetto a maggio 2024, dopo un incremento del 2,7% ad aprile. Il CEO Scott Mobley ha attribuito il successo alla coerenza operativa, alle misure di controllo dei costi e ai prezzi favorevoli del formaggio. L'azienda ha mantenuto una strategia promozionale orientata al valore per aumentare il numero di clienti nonostante le pressioni sui margini. Sebbene le vendite di giugno siano previste in crescita simile a quella di aprile, la direzione segnala sfide dovute all'aumento dei prezzi del formaggio e a un comportamento dei consumatori incerto a causa delle vacanze e degli eventi attuali.
Noble Roman's (OTCQB:NROM) meldete für Mai 2025 eine starke Leistung im Segment Craft Pizza & Pub und erzielte den höchsten Gewinnbeitrag seit August 2022 sowie den drittgrößten monatlichen Gewinn aller Zeiten. Die Umsätze in vergleichbaren Filialen stiegen im Vergleich zu Mai 2024 um 9,3 %, nach einem Anstieg von 2,7 % im April. CEO Scott Mobley führte den Erfolg auf operative Konsistenz, Kostenkontrollmaßnahmen und günstige Käsepreise zurück. Das Unternehmen verfolgte trotz Margendrucks eine wertorientierte Werbestrategie, um die Gästezahlen zu steigern. Für Juni wird ein Wachstum ähnlich dem im April erwartet, jedoch weist das Management auf Herausforderungen durch steigende Käsepreise und unsicheres Verbraucherverhalten aufgrund von Urlaubsgewohnheiten und aktuellen Ereignissen hin.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / / June 19, 2025 / Noble Roman's, Inc. (OTCQB:NROM), the Indianapolis based franchisor of Noble Roman's Pizza and Noble Roman's Craft Pizza & Pub, announced today that its company-owned Craft Pizza & Pub segment had the highest profit contribution month in May of 2025 since August of 2022, and the third highest monthly profit contribution ever. The company reports that same store sales were up approximately 9.3% in May versus the same month a year ago.
According to Scott Mobley, President & CEO of Noble Roman's, "May was a very good month for Craft Pizza & Pub operations. Sales were up approximately 2.7% in April and 9.3% in May. Our long-term focus has been a steadfast attention to operational consistency, both in service and cost controls. Recent post-Covid years have created margin challenges, both from an inflationary standpoint and a consumer spending standpoint, but operational consistency, a chipping away at structural costs, and an advantageous tailwind from cheese prices have come together to create an excellent result in May. Conditions have required a marketing and promotional emphasis on value, which also contributes to margin pressures, but which has had a positive impact on guest counts and sales. We anticipate another month of same store sales increase in June, perhaps in the range of that generated in April, although we do have a return of higher cheese prices with which to contend. We still have the last third of June to go, and June can be unpredictable as a vacation month and with the number of current national and world events on the minds of consumers. We also still remain in a value-orientation from a promotional standpoint, and conditions may not allow that to change anytime soon."
