Fat Brands reports Q3 adjusted EPS ($2.67) vs.($2.34) last year

Reports Q3 revenue $140.0M vs. $143.4M last year. Andy Wiederhorn, chairman and CEO of FAT Brands (FAT), said, “We delivered strong results across multiple areas in the third quarter, marking our best performance of the year to date. Notably, our casual dining segment posted same-store sales growth of 3.9%, underscoring the strength of our operational execution.” Wiederhorn continued, “We have opened 60 new restaurants so far this year and remain focused on strategic expansion backed by approximately 900 committed locations, which are expected to contribute $50-$60 million in incremental EBITDA once fully operational. We are especially energized by our co-branding initiatives, as our first dual-branded Round Table Pizza and Fatburger location in California has more than doubled weekly sales and transactions compared to its prior standalone Round Table Pizza format, validating the opportunity of co-branding. With a pipeline of approximately 50 additional co-branded locations in development, we see significant potential for this format.”
