The call reflects a company facing meaningful near-term challenges: Q4 showed declining same-store sales, margin compression from record input costs, higher labor and operating expenses, a swing to negative adjusted EBITDA, and a near-breakeven net result. Management described several clear operational fixes (training, cook-to-order, GM scheduling), early sequential improvement in comps through the first 11 weeks of Q1, successful product promotions, modest pricing actions, and improving input costs into Q1. While these initiatives and early trends are encouraging, the negative financial outcomes in Q4 (declines in sales and restaurant-level profit, negative adjusted EBITDA) outweigh the positive operational momentum at present.

Company Guidance

The company guided to modest improvement in 2026 after a difficult Q4, noting Q4 total revenues fell ~5.1% to $34.0M (FY revenues down ~0.5% to $141.6M) and adjusted EBITDA was negative $74k vs. $1.3M a year ago, but said same-store sales trends are improving into Q1 (Good Times Q4 comp -6.6% — a 240 bps sequential improvement from Q3 and down ~3.6% through the first 11 weeks; Bad Daddy’s Q4 comp -4.6% with 38 restaurants in the comp base and down ~1.6% through the first 11 weeks), and expects Q1 average price realization of ~1.7% (blended Y/Y price increase <1% overall; company has taken ~1% menu price since Jan 2024). Input-costs peaked in Q4 (Bad Daddy F&B 31.6%, +40 bps; Good Times food & packaging 32.1%, +120 bps) but have eased into Q1 and are expected to improve Q/Q, while labor ran high (Bad Daddy 35.7%, +140 bps; Good Times 35.9%, +200 bps) with Colorado minimum wage rising to $15.16 (+2.4%) and tipped to $12.14 (+3%); restaurant-level operating profit was ~$2.4M (9.9%) at Bad Daddy’s vs $3.4M (13.2%) last year and $0.8M (8%, down 420 bps) at Good Times, combined G&A was $2.4M (7%, expect 6–7% in FY26), net loss to common was $3k ($0.00) for the quarter, cash was $2.6M, and long-term debt $2.3M.

Sequential Same-Store Sales Improvement

Good Times same-store sales declined 6.6% in Q4 but represented a 240 basis point sequential improvement from Q3; through the first 11 weeks of Q1 Good Times comps improved to down ~3.6% year-over-year. Bad Daddy's same-store sales were down 4.6% in Q4 but have improved sequentially into Q1 and are down ~1.6% through the first 11 weeks.

Operational Improvements Underway

Management implemented targeted operational changes — GM schedule realignment, improved restaurant-level training, and a rollout plan for cook-to-order for burgers — intended to improve execution, speed of service, and guest experience.

Successful Product Promotions and Menu Pipeline

Bad Daddy's promotions (giant Bavarian pretzel, in-house chocolate cookie cheesecake) performed well with potential to join the core menu; plan to move to a burger-of-the-month platform to simplify messaging and focus execution.

Modest Menu Pricing and Pricing Discipline

Company has taken limited menu price increases (approximately 1% since Jan 2024 system-wide references; Bad Daddy's blended YoY price increase <1% in Q4) and expects an average year-over-year price increase of ~1.7% for Q1 2026, signaling measured pricing to address value perceptions.

Full-Year Revenue Nearly Flat

Total fiscal year revenue was $141.6 million, a decline of only ~0.5% versus the prior-year all-time record, indicating annual resilience despite a weak Q4.

Improved Cost Trends into Q1

Management reported that record-high input costs (notably ground beef) have decreased into the first quarter and expect food and beverage costs as a percent of sales to improve quarter-over-quarter.

Conservative Balance Sheet Metrics

Company finished Q4 with $2.6 million in cash and $2.3 million of long-term debt, and reduced combined G&A to 7% of revenues (down 70 basis points), with guidance for 6%–7% G&A in fiscal 2026.
