AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Lucky Strike reported modest fourth-quarter growth with a narrowed quarterly loss and reaffirmed its growth trajectory. For FY27, management guides 3–5% revenue growth with higher EBITDA and lower capital intensity, supported by a dividend and ongoing portfolio rationalization. The catalyst is improved cash flow and balance-sheet strength helping deleveraging, though near-term SSS weakness remains a hurdle.

  • Q4 revenue $303.9M; up 0.9% YoY. SSS fell 2.5%.
  • FY2026 revenue $1,245.3M; up 3.7%. FY26 SSS -0.2%.
  • FY26 net loss $35.8M; Adj EBITDA $333.2M.
  • FY27 guidance: revenue $1.28B–$1.31B; EBITDA $340M–$360M; capex ~$90M.
  • 366 locations; 6 openings in FY26; dividend declared at $0.06 per share.
