Restaurant margin dollars increased 5.4% to $496.6 million from $471.1 million in the prior year primarily due to higher sales.

Jerry Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Texas Roadhouse, Inc., commented, "Our operators delivered another quarter of strong comparable restaurant sales growth driven by positive traffic across all three of our brands. While we expect commodity inflation to further impact our profitability for the rest of the year, we remain focused on what we can control— preserving our value proposition and maintaining a relentless focus on operational excellence across all our brands."
Morgan added, "On the development front, we were excited to recently open our 800th system-wide restaurant, a milestone that reflects our ongoing commitment to growth. With a disciplined capital allocation strategy, including a focus on new store development and strategic franchise acquisitions, we're confident in our ability to drive long-term shareholder value."
Franchise Acquisitions
The Company has a tentative agreement or plans in place to acquire eight domestic franchise restaurants as of the beginning of our Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 fiscal periods. These acquisitions are subject to the completion of customary due diligence.
2025 Outlook
Comparable restaurant sales at company restaurants for the first five weeks of our third quarter of fiscal 2025 increased 5.3% compared to 2024.
Management updated the following expectations for 2025:
Commodity cost inflation of approximately 5%, including the estimated impact of tariffs;
Wage and other labor inflation of approximately 4%; and
An effective income tax rate of approximately 15%.
Management reiterated the following expectations for 2025:
Positive comparable restaurant sales growth, including the benefit of menu pricing actions;
Store week growth of approximately 5%; and
Total capital expenditures of approximately $400 million.
Cash Dividend Payment
On August 6, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors approved the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.68 per share of common stock. This payment will be distributed on September 30, 2025, to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 2, 2025.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company prepares the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Within the press release, the Company makes reference to restaurant margin (in dollars, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, and per store week). Restaurant margin represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent, and other operating costs. Restaurant margin should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall company performance and profitability in that this measure does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders due to the nature of the costs excluded. Restaurant margin is widely regarded as a useful metric by which to evaluate core restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis. In calculating restaurant margin, the Company excludes certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance, including general and administrative expenses. The Company excludes pre-opening expenses as they occur at irregular intervals and would impact comparability to prior period results. The Company excludes depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which relate to restaurant-level assets, as they represent a non-cash charge for the investment in restaurants. The Company excludes impairment and closure expenses as it believes this provides a clearer perspective of ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the industry. A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the accompanying financial tables.
