GEN Restaurant Group demonstrated strong revenue growth and strategic expansion efforts, particularly with new store openings and international expansion plans. However, the company faces challenges with a net loss in Q1 2025, potential impacts from tariffs, and a decline in same-store sales in recent months. While there is significant potential for growth, these challenges pose risks to achieving financial targets.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2025

During the first quarter of 2025, GEN Restaurant Group reported a 13% year-over-year increase in total revenues, reaching $57.3 million, driven by an expanded footprint and successful existing locations. Despite a modest same-store sales decline of 0.7%, this was a marked improvement from the 5.6% decrease in 2024. The company opened six new restaurants, bringing its total to 49, and aims to achieve 12 to 13 openings by year-end. GEN anticipates full-year revenues of $245 million to $250 million with a restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA margin of 17% to 18%. The company also reported a net loss before income taxes of $2.1 million, equating to a loss per share of $0.06, affected by pre-opening costs. GEN's high free cash flow model allowed it to grow its store count by 50% since going public in 2023 without incurring long-term debt. The company is also exploring international expansion into South Korea, with plans to open three new restaurants in 2025.
