|Next Earnings Date:May 07, 2025
Earnings Call Sentiment|Neutral

During the Noodles & Company's fourth quarter 2024 earnings call, the company provided guidance for 2025, emphasizing a transformative year ahead. Noodles & Company anticipates total revenue between $503 million and $512 million and mid-single-digit comparable restaurant sales growth. The restaurant contribution margin is expected to be between 12.5% and 14.0%, factoring in a 100 basis point investment in food costs due to a significant menu rollout in March.

The company plans to open two new company-owned restaurants but will close 12 to 15 company-owned and four franchise restaurants. Capital expenditures are estimated at $11 million to $13 million, significantly lower than the previous year, allowing for a potential reduction in debt, which stood at $103 million at the end of 2024. The first quarter of 2025 has already shown promising trends with over 3% comp sales growth, despite February's weather challenges.Improvement in Sales and Traffic
