Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) filed its first post-reorganization Form 10-Q for the quarter ended 30 Jun 2025. Revenue was $8.66 billion (thousands presentation) versus $8.88 billion in Q2-24, essentially flat (<1%鈻�). However, operating performance improved sharply: gains from operations swung to a $395 million profit from a $18 million loss, and net income reached $30.7 million versus a $125.6 million loss one year ago. Class A EPS turned positive at $0.10 (basic) compared with 鈥�$0.37. Six-month results remain negative; YTD net loss is $264.7 million (-$0.70 per share) against a $262.5 million profit in 2024, reflecting heavy Q1 losses and higher digital-asset impairments.
Cash rose 50% to $691 million since 31 Dec 2024, while total assets expanded to $9.09 billion, driven by a $639 million increase in digital intangible assets. Leverage climbed: digital assets borrowed nearly doubled to $2.84 billion and collateral payable grew to $1.87 billion. Stockholders鈥� equity fell to $1.51 billion from $2.19 billion as losses and the reorganization reduced GDH LP unit capital.
On 13 May 2025 the company completed a complex internal reorganization: GDH LP became the operating partnership, Galaxy Digital Inc. became the U.S. listed parent, and Class A shares began trading on Nasdaq under ticker GLXY. The structure introduces a large non-controlling interest ($1.12 billion) tied to Class B holders who can exchange into Class A stock.
Key expense trends: transaction expenses matched revenue at $8.63 billion; digital-asset impairment doubled YoY to $127 million; and notes interest expense rose 103% to $14.2 million. Unrealized derivative losses on notes payable were $125 million in the quarter.
Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) ha presentato il suo primo modulo 10-Q post-ristrutturazione per il trimestre chiuso al 30 giugno 2025. I ricavi sono stati di 8,66 miliardi di dollari (presentazione in migliaia) rispetto a 8,88 miliardi nel Q2-24, praticamente stabili (<1%鈻�). Tuttavia, la performance operativa 猫 migliorata notevolmente: i guadagni operativi sono passati da una perdita di 18 milioni a un utile di 395 milioni di dollari, e l'utile netto ha raggiunto 30,7 milioni rispetto a una perdita di 125,6 milioni un anno fa. L'EPS di Classe A 猫 diventato positivo a 0,10 dollari (base) rispetto a 鈥�0,37. I risultati semestrali restano negativi; la perdita netta da inizio anno 猫 di 264,7 milioni di dollari (-0,70 per azione) contro un utile di 262,5 milioni nel 2024, riflettendo pesanti perdite nel primo trimestre e maggiori svalutazioni di asset digitali.
La liquidit脿 猫 aumentata del 50% a 691 milioni di dollari dal 31 dicembre 2024, mentre il totale degli attivi 猫 salito a 9,09 miliardi, trainato da un incremento di 639 milioni negli asset digitali immateriali. La leva finanziaria 猫 aumentata: il debito su asset digitali 猫 quasi raddoppiato a 2,84 miliardi e i debiti garantiti sono saliti a 1,87 miliardi. Il patrimonio netto degli azionisti 猫 sceso a 1,51 miliardi da 2,19 miliardi a causa delle perdite e della ristrutturazione che hanno ridotto il capitale delle unit脿 GDH LP.
Il 13 maggio 2025 la societ脿 ha completato una complessa riorganizzazione interna: GDH LP 猫 diventata la partnership operativa, Galaxy Digital Inc. la societ脿 madre quotata negli USA, e le azioni di Classe A hanno iniziato la negoziazione al Nasdaq con il ticker GLXY. La struttura introduce una significativa partecipazione non di controllo (1,12 miliardi) legata ai detentori di azioni di Classe B che possono convertirle in azioni di Classe A.
Tendenze chiave delle spese: le spese per transazioni hanno eguagliato i ricavi a 8,63 miliardi; le svalutazioni di asset digitali sono raddoppiate su base annua a 127 milioni; e gli interessi su note sono aumentati del 103% a 14,2 milioni. Le perdite non realizzate su derivati relativi a note da pagare sono state di 125 milioni nel trimestre.

Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) a d茅pos茅 son premier formulaire 10-Q post-r茅organisation pour le trimestre clos au 30 juin 2025. Le chiffre d'affaires s'est 茅lev茅 脿 8,66 milliards de dollars (pr茅sentation en milliers) contre 8,88 milliards au T2-24, essentiellement stable (<1%鈻�). Cependant, la performance op茅rationnelle s'est nettement am茅lior茅e : le r茅sultat op茅rationnel est pass茅 d'une perte de 18 millions 脿 un b茅n茅fice de 395 millions, et le r茅sultat net a atteint 30,7 millions contre une perte de 125,6 millions un an plus t么t. Le BPA de la classe A est devenu positif 脿 0,10 $ (de base) contre 鈥�0,37. Les r茅sultats semestriels restent n茅gatifs ; la perte nette depuis le d茅but de l'ann茅e s'茅l猫ve 脿 264,7 millions (-0,70 $ par action) contre un b茅n茅fice de 262,5 millions en 2024, refl茅tant de lourdes pertes au premier trimestre et des d茅pr茅ciations accrues d'actifs num茅riques.
La tr茅sorerie a augment茅 de 50 % pour atteindre 691 millions depuis le 31 d茅cembre 2024, tandis que le total des actifs a progress茅 脿 9,09 milliards, port茅 par une augmentation de 639 millions des actifs num茅riques incorporels. L'effet de levier a augment茅 : les emprunts sur actifs num茅riques ont presque doubl茅 pour atteindre 2,84 milliards et les dettes garanties ont augment茅 脿 1,87 milliard. Les capitaux propres sont pass茅s de 2,19 milliards 脿 1,51 milliard en raison des pertes et de la r茅organisation qui ont r茅duit le capital des unit茅s GDH LP.
Le 13 mai 2025, la soci茅t茅 a finalis茅 une r茅organisation interne complexe : GDH LP est devenue la soci茅t茅 d'exploitation, Galaxy Digital Inc. la soci茅t茅 m猫re cot茅e aux 脡tats-Unis, et les actions de classe A ont commenc茅 脿 锚tre n茅goci茅es au Nasdaq sous le symbole GLXY. Cette structure introduit une importante participation sans contr么le (1,12 milliard) li茅e aux d茅tenteurs de la classe B qui peuvent convertir leurs actions en actions de classe A.
Tendances cl茅s des d茅penses : les frais de transaction ont 茅gal茅 le chiffre d'affaires 脿 8,63 milliards ; les d茅pr茅ciations d'actifs num茅riques ont doubl茅 en glissement annuel pour atteindre 127 millions ; et les charges d'int茅r锚ts sur les billets ont augment茅 de 103 % 脿 14,2 millions. Les pertes latentes sur d茅riv茅s li茅s aux billets 脿 payer ont 茅t茅 de 125 millions au cours du trimestre.
Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) hat seinen ersten Form 10-Q nach der Reorganisation f眉r das Quartal zum 30. Juni 2025 eingereicht. Der Umsatz betrug 8,66 Milliarden US-Dollar (in Tausendern dargestellt) gegen眉ber 8,88 Milliarden im Q2-24, im Wesentlichen unver盲ndert (<1%鈻�). Die operative Leistung verbesserte sich jedoch deutlich: Der operative Gewinn drehte von einem Verlust von 18 Millionen zu einem Gewinn von 395 Millionen, und der Nettogewinn erreichte 30,7 Millionen gegen眉ber einem Verlust von 125,6 Millionen vor einem Jahr. Das Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) der Klasse A wurde mit 0,10 US-Dollar (basic) positiv im Vergleich zu 鈥�0,37. Die Halbjahresergebnisse bleiben negativ; der Nettoverlust seit Jahresbeginn betr盲gt 264,7 Millionen US-Dollar (-0,70 pro Aktie) gegen眉ber einem Gewinn von 262,5 Millionen im Jahr 2024, was auf hohe Verluste im ersten Quartal und h枚here Wertminderungen bei digitalen Verm枚genswerten zur眉ckzuf眉hren ist.
Der Kassenbestand stieg seit dem 31. Dezember 2024 um 50 % auf 691 Millionen US-Dollar, w盲hrend die Gesamtaktiva auf 9,09 Milliarden US-Dollar anwuchsen, angetrieben durch einen Anstieg der digitalen immateriellen Verm枚genswerte um 639 Millionen. Die Verschuldung nahm zu: Die aufgenommenen Kredite f眉r digitale Verm枚genswerte verdoppelten sich nahezu auf 2,84 Milliarden, und die besicherten Verbindlichkeiten stiegen auf 1,87 Milliarden. Das Eigenkapital der Aktion盲re sank von 2,19 Milliarden auf 1,51 Milliarden, da Verluste und die Reorganisation das Kapital der GDH LP-Einheiten reduzierten.
Am 13. Mai 2025 schloss das Unternehmen eine komplexe interne Reorganisation ab: GDH LP wurde die operative Partnerschaft, Galaxy Digital Inc. wurde die in den USA b枚rsennotierte Muttergesellschaft, und die Aktien der Klasse A begannen unter dem Ticker GLXY an der Nasdaq zu handeln. Die Struktur f眉hrt eine gro脽e nicht beherrschende Beteiligung (1,12 Milliarden) ein, die mit den Inhabern der Klasse B verbunden ist, die in Klasse A-Aktien umtauschen k枚nnen.
Wichtige Kostentrends: Transaktionskosten entsprachen mit 8,63 Milliarden ann盲hernd den Ums盲tzen; die Wertminderungen bei digitalen Verm枚genswerten verdoppelten sich im Jahresvergleich auf 127 Millionen; und die Zinsaufwendungen f眉r Schuldverschreibungen stiegen um 103 % auf 14,2 Millionen. Nicht realisierte derivative Verluste auf Schuldverschreibungen beliefen sich im Quartal auf 125 Millionen.
Positive
- Returned to quarterly profitability: Q2-25 net income of $30.7 million vs. $125.6 million loss in Q2-24.
- Cash position strengthened 50% to $691 million since year-end 2024, improving liquidity.
- Successful U.S. reorganization and Nasdaq listing broaden investor base and may lower cost of capital.
Negative
- Year-to-date net loss of $264.7 million versus prior-year profit shows persistent volatility.
- Shareholder equity fell 31% to $1.51 billion, eroding book value.
- Digital assets borrowed up 89% to $2.84 billion, indicating higher leverage and counter-party exposure.
- Digital-asset impairments doubled YoY to $127 million, underscoring market-price risk.
Insights
TL;DR: Profitably quarter but leverage and YTD loss temper enthusiasm; reorg adds complexity.
Quarterly profitability is encouraging: gross activity remains strong and management contained operating expenses enough to generate a $31 million net profit versus last year鈥檚 loss. Cash growth and Nasdaq uplist improve liquidity and capital-markets access. Nevertheless, the six-month deficit, 89% rise in borrowed digital assets, and $688 million equity reduction highlight balance-sheet pressure. Investors should watch impairment charges, derivative mark-to-market losses, and integration costs from the new holding structure.
TL;DR: Trading engine delivers revenue, but outsized transaction costs and asset borrowing signal risk.
GLXY continues to monetise high-volume digital-asset flows, yet transaction expenses consumed 100% of related revenue, indicating thin spreads. Rising impairments and nearly $3 billion of borrowed coins expose the firm to market swings and counter-party risk. The DeFi-to-AI data-center pivot is not yet reflected in results, so near-term performance will remain tied to crypto volatility. Overall impact: mixed, leaning neutral.

Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) a d茅pos茅 son premier formulaire 10-Q post-r茅organisation pour le trimestre clos au 30 juin 2025. Le chiffre d'affaires s'est 茅lev茅 脿 8,66 milliards de dollars (pr茅sentation en milliers) contre 8,88 milliards au T2-24, essentiellement stable (<1%鈻�). Cependant, la performance op茅rationnelle s'est nettement am茅lior茅e : le r茅sultat op茅rationnel est pass茅 d'une perte de 18 millions 脿 un b茅n茅fice de 395 millions, et le r茅sultat net a atteint 30,7 millions contre une perte de 125,6 millions un an plus t么t. Le BPA de la classe A est devenu positif 脿 0,10 $ (de base) contre 鈥�0,37. Les r茅sultats semestriels restent n茅gatifs ; la perte nette depuis le d茅but de l'ann茅e s'茅l猫ve 脿 264,7 millions (-0,70 $ par action) contre un b茅n茅fice de 262,5 millions en 2024, refl茅tant de lourdes pertes au premier trimestre et des d茅pr茅ciations accrues d'actifs num茅riques.
La tr茅sorerie a augment茅 de 50 % pour atteindre 691 millions depuis le 31 d茅cembre 2024, tandis que le total des actifs a progress茅 脿 9,09 milliards, port茅 par une augmentation de 639 millions des actifs num茅riques incorporels. L'effet de levier a augment茅 : les emprunts sur actifs num茅riques ont presque doubl茅 pour atteindre 2,84 milliards et les dettes garanties ont augment茅 脿 1,87 milliard. Les capitaux propres sont pass茅s de 2,19 milliards 脿 1,51 milliard en raison des pertes et de la r茅organisation qui ont r茅duit le capital des unit茅s GDH LP.
Le 13 mai 2025, la soci茅t茅 a finalis茅 une r茅organisation interne complexe : GDH LP est devenue la soci茅t茅 d'exploitation, Galaxy Digital Inc. la soci茅t茅 m猫re cot茅e aux 脡tats-Unis, et les actions de classe A ont commenc茅 脿 锚tre n茅goci茅es au Nasdaq sous le symbole GLXY. Cette structure introduit une importante participation sans contr么le (1,12 milliard) li茅e aux d茅tenteurs de la classe B qui peuvent convertir leurs actions en actions de classe A.
Tendances cl茅s des d茅penses : les frais de transaction ont 茅gal茅 le chiffre d'affaires 脿 8,63 milliards ; les d茅pr茅ciations d'actifs num茅riques ont doubl茅 en glissement annuel pour atteindre 127 millions ; et les charges d'int茅r锚ts sur les billets ont augment茅 de 103 % 脿 14,2 millions. Les pertes latentes sur d茅riv茅s li茅s aux billets 脿 payer ont 茅t茅 de 125 millions au cours du trimestre.
Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) hat seinen ersten Form 10-Q nach der Reorganisation f眉r das Quartal zum 30. Juni 2025 eingereicht. Der Umsatz betrug 8,66 Milliarden US-Dollar (in Tausendern dargestellt) gegen眉ber 8,88 Milliarden im Q2-24, im Wesentlichen unver盲ndert (<1%鈻�). Die operative Leistung verbesserte sich jedoch deutlich: Der operative Gewinn drehte von einem Verlust von 18 Millionen zu einem Gewinn von 395 Millionen, und der Nettogewinn erreichte 30,7 Millionen gegen眉ber einem Verlust von 125,6 Millionen vor einem Jahr. Das Ergebnis je Aktie (EPS) der Klasse A wurde mit 0,10 US-Dollar (basic) positiv im Vergleich zu 鈥�0,37. Die Halbjahresergebnisse bleiben negativ; der Nettoverlust seit Jahresbeginn betr盲gt 264,7 Millionen US-Dollar (-0,70 pro Aktie) gegen眉ber einem Gewinn von 262,5 Millionen im Jahr 2024, was auf hohe Verluste im ersten Quartal und h枚here Wertminderungen bei digitalen Verm枚genswerten zur眉ckzuf眉hren ist.
Der Kassenbestand stieg seit dem 31. Dezember 2024 um 50 % auf 691 Millionen US-Dollar, w盲hrend die Gesamtaktiva auf 9,09 Milliarden US-Dollar anwuchsen, angetrieben durch einen Anstieg der digitalen immateriellen Verm枚genswerte um 639 Millionen. Die Verschuldung nahm zu: Die aufgenommenen Kredite f眉r digitale Verm枚genswerte verdoppelten sich nahezu auf 2,84 Milliarden, und die besicherten Verbindlichkeiten stiegen auf 1,87 Milliarden. Das Eigenkapital der Aktion盲re sank von 2,19 Milliarden auf 1,51 Milliarden, da Verluste und die Reorganisation das Kapital der GDH LP-Einheiten reduzierten.
Am 13. Mai 2025 schloss das Unternehmen eine komplexe interne Reorganisation ab: GDH LP wurde die operative Partnerschaft, Galaxy Digital Inc. wurde die in den USA b枚rsennotierte Muttergesellschaft, und die Aktien der Klasse A begannen unter dem Ticker GLXY an der Nasdaq zu handeln. Die Struktur f眉hrt eine gro脽e nicht beherrschende Beteiligung (1,12 Milliarden) ein, die mit den Inhabern der Klasse B verbunden ist, die in Klasse A-Aktien umtauschen k枚nnen.
Wichtige Kostentrends: Transaktionskosten entsprachen mit 8,63 Milliarden ann盲hernd den Ums盲tzen; die Wertminderungen bei digitalen Verm枚genswerten verdoppelten sich im Jahresvergleich auf 127 Millionen; und die Zinsaufwendungen f眉r Schuldverschreibungen stiegen um 103 % auf 14,2 Millionen. Nicht realisierte derivative Verluste auf Schuldverschreibungen beliefen sich im Quartal auf 125 Millionen.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, which establishes new disclosure requirements related to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, selling expenses, depreciation and intangible amortization. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard.
Recent accounting guidance not discussed herein is not applicable, did not have, or is not expected to have a material impact to the Company.
3. Business Acquisitions
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company acquired, in two separate transactions, substantially all the assets associated with 19 franchise-operated First Watch restaurants. For both transactions, the purchase price was allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The allocations were based on preliminary valuations and are subject to adjustment as additional information is available. The Company expects to finalize the valuations of these assets no later than one year from the respective acquisition dates.

Goodwill reflects the value of expected synergies and assembled workforce, and was assigned to the Company’s single reporting unit. The Company will treat the transactions as asset acquisitions for income tax purposes, which allows for any goodwill recognized to be tax deductible and amortized over a 15-year statutory life.
The weighted average estimated useful life of the reacquired rights is 6.1 years.
Pro-forma financial information of the acquired restaurants for periods prior to the acquisition dates is not presented due to the immaterial impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Facility
FWR Holding Corporation (“FWR”), a subsidiary of the Company, is the borrower under the credit agreement dated October 6, 2021, the terms of which were amended on February 24, 2023 and January 5, 2025, which provides for (i) a $225.0 million term loan A facility and delayed draw facility (the “Term Facilities”) and (ii) a $125.0 million revolving credit facility (“the Revolving Credit Facility”), and together with the Term Facilities, (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures on January 5, 2029.
12
Table of Contents
FIRST WATCH RESTAURANT GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company drew $27.5 million on the delayed draw facility and $32.5 million on the revolving credit facility, primarily to fund the business acquisitions. As of June 29, 2025, the delayed draw facility was fully drawn and the balances shall be due under the same repayment terms as the term loan A facility.
As of June 29, 2025, borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at the option of FWR at either (i) the alternate base rate plus a margin of between 150 and 225 basis points depending on the total rent adjusted net leverage ratio of FWR and its restricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the “Total Rent Adjusted Net Leverage Ratio”) or (ii) SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points plus a margin of between 250 and 325 basis points depending on the Total Rent Adjusted Net Leverage Ratio. Refer to Note 8, Interest Rate Swaps, for information about the Company’s variable-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements.
Fair Value of Debt
The estimated fair value of the outstanding debt, excluding finance lease obligations and financing obligations, is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and was estimated using discounted cash flow models, market yield and yield volatility. The following table includes the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt as of the dates indicated:

| Term Facilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Revolving Credit Facility | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
Debt Covenants
The Credit Facility is guaranteed by all of FWR’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and by AI Fresh Parent, Inc., a Delaware corporation and the direct parent company of FWR (“Holdings”), and is secured by associated collateral agreements that pledge a lien on substantially all of FWR’s and each guarantor’s assets, including fixed assets and intangibles, in each case, subject to customary exceptions.
Under the credit agreement, FWR (and in certain circumstances, Holdings) and its subsidiaries are subject to affirmative, negative and financial covenants, maintenance of certain ratios, restrictions on additional indebtedness and events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable, and lender remedies). FWR was in compliance with its covenants under the credit agreement as of June 29, 2025.
8. Interest Rate Swaps
The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of the cash flows of the Company’s variable rate debt.
On June 23, 2023, the Company entered into two variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $90.0 million and mature on October 6, 2026. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company will pay a weighted average fixed rate of 4.16 % on the notional amount and will receive payments from, or make payments to, the counterparties based on the three-month SOFR rate.
On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into two additional variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These interest rate swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $60.0 million and mature on June 30, 2027. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company will pay a weighted average fixed rate of 4.42 % on the notional amount and will receive payments from, or make payments to, the counterparties based on the three-month SOFR rate.
The fair value measurement of the interest rate swaps was based on the contractual terms and market-based inputs. The interest rate swaps were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows using observable inputs including interest rate curves and credit spreads. Although the majority of the inputs used to value the instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. The impact of the credit valuation adjustments was not determined to be significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the derivative was classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Amounts reported in Other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025, a total of $0.1 million was reclassified from Other comprehensive income as a reduction to Interest expense. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $0.6 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

10. Deferred Compensation
The Company adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “First Watch Deferred Compensation Plan”) effective January 1, 2025. The First Watch Deferred Compensation Plan allows officers and other key employees to defer their compensation within annual limits designated by the Company. Discretionary matching and other credits may be made to the accounts of active participants, which vest based on an employee’s years of service or vest in full upon an active participant’s death, disability or a Company change in control event, as defined in the plan. Participants’ earnings on contributions fluctuate with the actual earnings and losses of available investment choices selected by the participants.
While the First Watch Deferred Compensation Plan is unsecured, the Company has elected to fund certain of these obligations through a rabbi trust, the assets of which consist of Company-owned life insurance policies. The assets held in the rabbi trust are not available for general corporate purposes and are subject to creditor claims in the event of insolvency.
The cash surrender value of the life insurance policies held in the rabbi trust is recorded in other long-term assets. As of June 29, 2025, rabbi trust assets totaled $1.0 million. Changes to the cash surrender value and any increases or decreases to deferred compensation liabilities incurred under the First Watch Deferred Compensation Plan are recorded as general and administrative expenses. As of June 29, 2025, the deferred compensation obligation included in other long-term liabilities totaled $1.0 million.

The effective income tax rate was 41.1 % and 35.4 % for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and 37.4 % and 32.3 % for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. In the United States, a restaurant company employer may claim a credit against its federal income taxes for FICA taxes paid on certain tipped wages (the “FICA tax credit”). The level of FICA tax credits is primarily driven by restaurant sales. Income tax expense during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 decreased as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the decrease in income before taxes, the benefit of FICA tax credits and the change in the valuation allowance. The effective income tax rates during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 increased as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the benefit of FICA tax credits and the change in valuation allowance.
The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024 were different than the blended federal and state statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance, the benefit of FICA tax credits and the impacts of executive stock-based compensation.
On July 4, 2025, H.R. 1 – One Big Beautiful Bill (“the Bill”) was enacted into law. The Bill provides for significant U.S. tax law changes and modifications, including making permanent 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. Since the legislation was not signed into law until after the end of our second quarter, the impacts are not included in our operating results for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025. We are currently assessing its impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Valuation allowance
Management evaluates quarterly whether the resulting deferred tax assets are realizable given the Company’s earnings history. Based on the available evidence, the Company does not meet the more likely than not standard related to the realization of a portion of the deferred tax assets as of June 29, 2025. Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance on the portion of deferred tax assets deemed not realizable, including state charitable contribution carryovers, various state loss carryforwards and various federal tax credit carryforwards.
Management continues to assess the rationale for recording a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. As the Company’s future taxable earnings increase and deferred tax assets are utilized, it is possible that a portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of any valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense in the period of the release. The timing and amount of any release related to future taxable income is currently indeterminable.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and liabilities that arise in the ordinary course of business. The amount of the anticipated liability with respect to these matters was not material as of June 29, 2025. In the event any litigation losses become probable and estimable, the Company will recognize anticipated losses.
14. Segment Information
Management determined the Company’s single operating segment on the basis that the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, assesses performance and allocates resources at the Company’s consolidated level. The Company’s CODM uses consolidated net income to evaluate performance and make key operating decisions, such as investments in our long-term growth strategy. This measure is also used to monitor budget against actual results.

Recent Developments
Financial highlights for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2025 (“second quarter of 2025”) as compared, unless otherwise indicated below, to the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2024 (“second quarter of 2024”), reflected the continued momentum of our operating performance and include the following:
•Opened 17 system-wide restaurants in 8 states, with 1 planned closure, resulting in a total of 600 system-wide restaurants (531 company-owned and 69 franchise-owned) across 31 states
•Total revenues increased 19.1% to $307.9 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $258.6 million in the second quarter of 2024
•System-wide sales increased 15.8% to $346.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 from $299.0 million in the second quarter of 2024

Business Trends
In the second quarter, the Company’s same-restaurant traffic grew 2.0%, our first quarter of positive traffic growth since the first quarter ended March 26, 2023. We expect positive traffic trends to continue through the second half of the year.
Commodity inflation was 8.1% in the second quarter of 2025, driven by eggs, coffee, avocado and bacon. We expect elevated egg costs to moderate in the second half of the year as a result of the favorable trend in cases of avian influenza, which have impacted U.S. chicken flocks. Considering this favorability in egg costs combined with the expected costs of other commodities and the delayed and reduced impact from tariffs, we now project our full year commodity inflation to range between 5% and 7%.
Restaurant-level wage inflation during the second quarter was 3.9% and full year inflation is expected to approximate 3% to 4%.
Key Performance Indicators
Throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we commonly discuss the following key operating metrics that we believe will drive our financial results and long-term growth model. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to evaluate performance and assess the growth of our business as well as the effectiveness of our marketing and operational strategies.
New Restaurant Openings (“NROs”): the number of new company-owned First Watch restaurants commencing operations during the period. Management reviews the number of new restaurants to assess new restaurant growth and company-owned restaurant sales.
Franchise-owned New Restaurant Openings (“Franchise-owned NROs”): the number of new franchise-owned First Watch restaurants commencing operations during the period.
Same-Restaurant Sales Growth: the percentage change in year-over-year restaurant sales (excluding gift card breakage) for the comparable restaurant base, which we define as the number of company-owned First Watch branded restaurants open for 18 months or longer as of the beginning of the fiscal year (“Comparable Restaurant Base”). For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, there were 382 restaurants and 344 restaurants, respectively, in our Comparable Restaurant Base. Measuring our same-restaurant sales growth allows management to evaluate the performance of our existing restaurant base. We believe this measure is useful for investors to provide a consistent comparison of restaurant sales results and trends across periods within our core, established restaurant base, unaffected by results of store openings, closings, and other transitional changes.
Same-Restaurant Traffic Growth: the percentage change in traffic counts as compared to the same period in the prior year using the Comparable Restaurant Base. Measuring our same-restaurant traffic growth allows management to evaluate the performance of our existing restaurant base. We believe this measure is useful for investors because an increase in same-restaurant traffic provides an indicator as to the development of our brand and the effectiveness of our marketing strategy.
System-wide restaurants: the total number of restaurants, including all company-owned and franchise-owned restaurants.
System-wide sales: consists of restaurant sales from our company-owned restaurants and franchise-owned restaurants. We do not recognize the restaurant sales from our franchise-owned restaurants as revenue.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), we use the following non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin, (iii) Restaurant level operating profit and (iv) Restaurant level operating profit margin. Our presentation of these non-GAAP measures includes isolating the effects of some items that are either nonrecurring in nature or have no meaningful correlation to our ongoing core operating performance. These supplemental measures of performance are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional visibility into our operations, facilitate analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance, help to identify operational trends and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by Management in our financial and operational decision making. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and have important limitations as analytical tools. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP as they may not provide a complete understanding of our performance. These non-GAAP measures should be reviewed in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate our operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategies and (iii) internally as benchmarks to compare our performance to that of our competitors.
We use Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin (i) to evaluate the performance and profitability of each operating restaurant, individually and in the aggregate, and (ii) to make decisions regarding future spending and other operational decisions.
Adjusted EBITDA: represents Net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense, income taxes, and items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing core operating performance as identified in the reconciliation of Net income, the most directly comparable measure in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA, included in the section Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations below.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations below for a reconciliation to Net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
Restaurant Level Operating Profit: represents restaurant sales, less restaurant operating expenses, which include food and beverage costs, labor and other related expenses, other restaurant operating expenses, pre-opening expenses and occupancy expenses. Restaurant level operating profit excludes corporate-level expenses and other items that we do not consider in the evaluation of the ongoing core operating performance of our restaurants as identified in the reconciliation of Income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to Restaurant level operating profit, included in the section Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations below.
Restaurant Level Operating Profit Margin: represents Restaurant level operating profit as a percentage of restaurant sales. See Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations below for a reconciliation to Income from operations margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Restaurant Sales
Restaurant sales represent the aggregate sales of food and beverages, net of discounts, at company-owned restaurants. Restaurant sales in any period are directly influenced by the number of operating weeks in the period, the number of open restaurants, customer traffic and average check. Average check growth is driven by our menu price increases and changes to our menu mix.

Franchise Revenues
Franchise revenues are comprised of sales-based royalty fees, system fund contributions and the amortization of upfront initial franchise fees, which are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement.

The decrease in franchise revenues during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily driven by the Company’s acquisitions of 19 franchise-owned restaurants, partially offset by franchise revenues from the nine franchise-owned NROs between June 30, 2024 and June 29, 2025.
Food and Beverage Costs
The components of food and beverage costs at company-owned restaurants are variable by nature, change with sales volume, are impacted by product mix and are subject to increases or decreases in commodity costs.

Food and beverage costs as a percent of restaurant sales increased during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to (i) commodity inflation experienced in eggs, coffee, bacon and avocados, and (ii) increased portion size in certain menu items, partially offset by the leverage associated with menu price increases.
Food and beverage costs increased during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily as a result of (i) the 55 NROs and 19 restaurants acquired from franchisees between June 30, 2024 and June 29, 2025, (ii) commodity inflation and (iii) increased portion size of meat in certain menu items.
Labor and Other Related Expenses
Labor and other related expenses are variable by nature and include hourly and management wages, bonuses, payroll taxes, workers’ compensation expense and employee benefits. Factors that influence labor costs include minimum wage and payroll tax legislation, health care costs, the number and performance of our company-owned restaurants and increased competition for qualified staff.

The increase in labor and other related expenses during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the same periods in the prior year was primarily due to (i) the increase in the number of restaurants and related headcount, (ii) wage increases and (iii) increased health insurance costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 29, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19.2 million and outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $252.8 million, excluding unamortized debt discount and deferred issuance costs. We had availability of $87.4 million under our revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, of which $2.1 million is reserved under letters of credit pursuant to our credit agreement, dated as of October 6, 2021 as amended (“Credit Agreement”). Our principal uses of cash include capital expenditures for the development, acquisition or remodeling of restaurants, lease obligations, debt service payments and strategic infrastructure investments. Our working capital requirements are low due to our restaurants storing minimal inventory and customers pay for their purchases at the time of the sale, which frequently precedes our payment terms with suppliers.
We believe that our cash flow from operations combined with our availability under the Credit Facility and our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. We anticipate that to the extent that we require additional liquidity, or should we decide to pursue one or more significant acquisitions, the funds would be furnished first through additional indebtedness and thereafter through the issuance of equity. Although we believe that our current level of total available liquidity is sufficient to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, we regularly evaluate opportunities to improve our liquidity position in order to enhance financial flexibility.
We estimate that our capital expenditures will total approximately $148.0 million to $152.0 million in 2025, not including the capital allocated to franchise acquisitions. This capital is invested primarily in new restaurant projects and planned remodels. We plan to fund the capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from our operating activities as well as with borrowings pursuant to our Credit Agreement.

Cash provided by operations is our typical source of liquidity used (i) to fund capital expenditures for new restaurants, (ii) to maintain and remodel existing restaurants and (iii) for debt service. Cash provided by operations increased during the twenty-six week period ended June 29, 2025 as compared to the twenty-six week period ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to the increase from (i) the timing of operational payments and (ii) the impact of non-cash charges, offset by the decrease to income from operations.
Cash used in investing activities decreased during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 from the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2024 due principally to increases in the number of new restaurants and capital projects into which the Company is investing, offset by amounts paid to acquire franchise locations.
Cash provided by financing activities includes borrowings from the Company’s Credit Facility to fund capital projects and related debt issuance costs.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by management in selecting the appropriate assumptions for calculating financial estimates. By their nature, these judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. These judgments are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our evaluation of trends in the industry and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an on-going basis. Our actual results may differ from these estimates. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in “Critical Accounting Estimates” in the 2024 Form 10-K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
For a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Commodity and Food Price Risks
We project our full year commodity inflation to range between 5% and 7%.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Table of Contents
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, such as this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Due to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting discussed below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 29, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. In light of this fact, our management has performed additional analyses, reconciliations, and other post-closing procedures and has concluded that, notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, the consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.
Previously Identified Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Refer to the management report on internal control over financial reporting in Part II - Item 9A of the 2024 Form 10-K filed with SEC on March 11, 2025 for a discussion of the material weaknesses, which continue to exist as of June 29, 2025.
Remediation Efforts
In connection with the material weaknesses, management has taken the following remedial actions:
•Hired new and reassigned existing financial reporting, accounting, and information technology leadership with public company experience to enhance public company financial reporting, technical accounting, and information technology services and solutions.
•Augmented financial reporting capabilities by staffing professionals with knowledge and experience in income tax, internal audit, information technology, and legal.
•Established various policies, including a formal delegation of authority policy defining the protocols for reviewing and authorizing commitments, contracts, invoices, and transactions as well as account reconciliation and journal entry policies that provide the framework to ensure the performance of consistent procedures in reconciling general ledger balances to supporting documentation and set the standards for the preparation and review of journal entries.
•Formalized certain roles and reviewed responsibilities, including ensuring appropriate segregation of duties.
•Designed and implemented period-end financial reporting controls, such as controls over the preparation and review of account reconciliations, financial statement disclosures, and the consolidated financial statements, including controls around classification of cash flows and disclosure of noncash items, as well as establishing a formal management Disclosure Committee to review the draft financial statements and disclosures prior to release, including a sub-certification process from various functional groups.
•Enhanced access restrictions for certain users over general ledger journal entries and designed new processes to further automate journal entries and segregate journal entry creation from journal entry approval authority.
•Designed and implemented a comprehensive risk assessment process during second quarter of 2025 to identify risks of material misstatement and ensure our internal control framework has the appropriate business process controls to meet the objectives and address the risks identified.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We currently do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these actions, individually or taken in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. A significant increase in the number of claims or an increase in amounts owing under successful claims could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, in the accompanying notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
