Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During Denny's Corporation's Q1 2025 earnings call, the company provided guidance pointing towards the lower half of their same-restaurant sales guidance range of negative 2% to positive 1% for the year, influenced by macroeconomic challenges, including consumer sentiment and inflation. The company reported a 3% decrease in Denny's same-restaurant sales for the quarter, with domestic franchise restaurants at negative 3.2% and company-owned restaurants at negative 0.9%. Despite these challenges, April's same-restaurant sales were approximately flat, driven by a successful promotional offer, "Buy One Slam Get One for $1," which attracted nearly 70% lapsed or new customers. Off-premise sales contributed a 1% improvement in same-restaurant sales, representing a 22% mix from off-premise channels. Keke's Breakfast Cafe showed positive momentum, with a 3.9% increase in same-restaurant sales. The company adjusted its commodities expectations to 3-5% and maintained its G&A guidance of $80 million to $85 million, aiming at a lower end of its adjusted EBITDA guidance of $80 million to $85 million due to higher commodity costs and a cautious consumer environment.
