The earnings call reflected both positive and negative aspects. While there were significant advancements in new store openings, international expansion, and improved labor efficiencies, these were offset by challenges such as same-store sales decline, increased operating costs, and a net loss before income taxes.

Company Guidance

During the second quarter of 2025, GEN Restaurant Group, Inc. opened nine new restaurants, bringing the total store count to 52, with plans to exceed the target of 12 to 13 new stores by the end of the year.

The company incurred a net loss before income taxes of $1.8 million, equating to $0.05 per diluted share. GEN also made strategic moves, such as the international expansion to South Korea and the development of new product lines, including packaged meats and sauces, to boost brand strength. The company continues to invest in AI and automation to improve operational efficiencies and maintains a healthy balance sheet with $9.6 million in cash and minimal debt.
