Insights

Twin Hospitality Group reports concerning Q2 results with declining sales and widening losses amid leadership transition and turnaround plan.

Twin Hospitality Group's Q2 results reveal significant operational challenges, with total revenue decreasing 4.1% to $87.8 million and a concerning swing to an operating loss of $11.6 million from income of $1.4 million in the prior year. The bottom line deteriorated substantially with net losses nearly doubling to $20.8 million from $10.7 million last year.

The company is experiencing a clear divergence between its two brands. While Twin Peaks system-wide sales increased marginally by 0.3%, same-store sales declined 4.4%, indicating cannibalization from new locations or market saturation issues. The stark difference in restaurant contribution margins between Twin Peaks (17.7%) and Smokey Bones (4.9%) demonstrates why management is converting underperforming Smokey Bones locations to the Twin Peaks brand.

New CEO Kim Boerema, who joined in May, has outlined six strategic priorities focusing on operational fundamentals, cost reduction, menu optimization, and pricing strategy. This comprehensive approach acknowledges systemic issues beyond just store-level performance. The company's development pipeline remains active with nearly 100 signed franchise agreements, suggesting the brand still has appeal to franchisees despite current headwinds.

From a financial perspective, the decrease in food and beverage costs as a percentage of sales (from 27.4% to 27.1%) is a small positive, but labor costs as a percentage of sales increased slightly (from 31.6% to 31.8%). With $11.3 million in quarterly interest expense against $5.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA, the company's debt service capabilities are concerning. This financial pressure likely limits management's ability to invest in meaningful operational improvements without additional capital.

Since stepping into the role in May, I have spent time in the field listening to our teams, understanding the business firsthand and shaping a focused strategy for growth.

These steps are the foundation for improving execution, rebuilding momentum and delivering long-term value,� said Kim Boerema, Chief Executive Officer and President of Twin Hospitality Group Inc.

We are on track to open a franchised Twin Peaks lodge in Fayetteville, North Carolina by year-end, our third conversion from Smokey Bones to Twin Peaks, with two additional company-owned conversions planned for early 2026. Notably, our converted locations deliver significantly higher volumes than they generated as Smokey Bones.

Summary of Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue decreased $3.7 million, or 4.1%, in the fiscal second quarter of 2025, to $87.8 million compared to $91.6 million in the same fiscal period of 2024, driven by the closure of five underperforming Smokey Bones locations, the temporary closure of one Smokey Bones location for conversion into a Twin Peaks lodge and lower same-store sales, partially offset by revenues generated by our new Twin Peaks lodges.

Costs and Expenses

Food and beverage cost decreased $1.4 million, or 6.1%, to $21.5 million, compared to $22.9 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower same store sales, partially offset by increases in the price of food ingredients. As a percentage of restaurant sales, food and beverage cost was 27.1% in 2025 compared to 27.4% in 2024.

Labor and benefits cost decreased $1.1 million, or 4.3%, to $25.3 million, compared to $26.4 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower same store sales, partially offset by wage inflation. As a percentage of restaurant sales, labor and benefits cost was 31.8% in 2025 compared to 31.6% in 2024.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net was $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $12.2 million in the same period of the prior year, and in each year, other expense, net consisted primarily of interest expense.

Key Financial Definitions

New store openings -The number of new store openings reflects the number of stores opened during a particular reporting period. The total number of new stores per reporting period and the timing of stores openings has, and will continue to have, an impact on our results.

Same-store sales growth -Same-store sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base, which we define as the number of stores open and in the Twin Hospitality Group system for at least eighteen months. For stores that were temporarily closed, sales in the current and prior period are adjusted accordingly. Given our focused marketing efforts and public excitement surrounding each opening, new stores often experience an initial start-up period with considerably higher than average sales volumes, which subsequently decrease to stabilized levels after three to six months.

System-wide sales growth- System wide sales growth reflects the percentage change in sales in any given fiscal period compared to the prior fiscal period for all stores.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements relating to the future financial and operating results of the Company, the timing and performance of new store openings, future reductions in expenses and our pipeline of new store locations. Forward-looking statements generally use words such as “expect,� “foresee,� “anticipate,� “believe,� “project,� “should,� “estimate,� “will,� “plans,� “forecast,� and similar expressions, and reflect our expectations concerning the future. Forward-looking statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control, which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. We refer you to the documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as our reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, for a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our current expectations and from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this press release.

Non-GAAP Measures (Unaudited)

This press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant-Level Contribution and Restaurant-Level Contribution Margin.

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization. We use the term EBITDA, as opposed to income (loss) from operations, as it is widely used by analysts, investors, and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We believe that EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate to business performance. EBITDA is not a measure of our financial performance or liquidity that is determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP�), and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss as a measure of financial performance or cash flows from operations as measures of liquidity, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding expenses related to acquisitions, refranchising losses, impairment charges, and certain non-recurring or non-cash items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company’s recurring business operations.

Restaurant-Level Contribution represents company-owned restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs, which consist of food and beverage costs, labor and benefits costs and other operating costs. Restaurant-Level Contribution Margin represents Restaurant-Level Contribution as a percentage of company-owned restaurant sales. Restaurant-Level Contribution and Restaurant-Level Contribution Margin are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-Level Contribution and Restaurant-Level Contribution Margin are not intended to be measures of free cash flow available for our management’s discretionary use, as these metrics do not consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Additionally, Restaurant-Level Contribution and Restaurant-Level Contribution Margin exclude general and administrative expenses, advertising expenses, pre-opening expenses and depreciation and amortization on restaurant property and equipment, which are essential to support the operations and development of our company-owned restaurants. The Company is presenting Restaurant-Level Contribution and Restaurant-Level Contribution Margin because it believes that they are important tools for investors and analysts because they are widely-used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency and performance.

Reconciliations of net loss presented in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net loss are set forth in the tables below.
