Reports Q2 revenue $207.4M, consensus $208.94M. Consolidated comparable sales decreased 4.1%. “I’m pleased to report that we met our expectations for the quarter while delivering strong top-line growth of 20% driven by the successful integration of our Benihana acquisition and continued execution of our key strategic initiatives. Benihana delivered positive same store sales and STK achieved positive traffic for the second and third consecutive quarters, respectively, clear indicators of underlying consumer engagement and brand strength,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group. “We are focused on accelerating same store sales growth and pursuing asset-light and low-cost expansion strategies that enhance capital efficiency and balance sheet strength. We recently opened our second franchised Benihana Express location in Miami, Florida, allowing us to expand our Benihana brand without deploying capital. Looking ahead, we remain confident in our growth trajectory and are on track to open five to seven new venues this year while optimizing operations across our expanded portfolio. These initiatives reflect our ongoing efforts to increase shareholder value through a balanced and resilient operating model driven by strong top line growth and asset-light expansion,” concluded Hilario.
