NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollar and share amounts in thousands, unless otherwise specified)
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Update to Accounting Policies
In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is collectively referred to as “Chipotle,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”
We develop and operate restaurants that serve a relevant menu of burritos, burrito bowls, quesadillas, tacos, and salads, made using fresh, high-quality ingredients. As of June 30, 2025, we operated 3,839 restaurants including 3,750 Chipotle restaurants within the United States and 89 international Chipotle restaurants. Additionally, we had five international licensed restaurants. We manage our U.S. operations based on 11 regions and aggregate our operations to one reportable segment. Additional details on the nature of our business and our reportable operating segment are included in Note 14. "Segment Reporting".
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for annual reports. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
2. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The ASU includes amendments requiring enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. While we are still evaluating the impact of adopting the new ASU, we anticipate this guidance will result in a significant expansion of our annual income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40)." The ASU requires public entities to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, certain income statement expenses into different categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new ASU on our disclosures.
We reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(1)The fair value of the corporate debt security is measured using Level 3 (unobservable) inputs. We determined the fair value for the corporate debt security using an internally-developed valuation model and unobservable inputs include credit and liquidity spreads and effective maturity.
(2)We have elected to measure our investment in convertible notes receivable of private companies at fair value under the fair value option. The fair value of the notes receivable are measured using Level 3 (unobservable) inputs. We determined the fair value for the notes receivable using an internally-developed valuation model and unobservable inputs include estimates of the equity value of the underlying business and the timing and probability of future financing events.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets recognized or disclosed at fair value on the condensed consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as leasehold improvements, property and equipment, certain long-term investments, operating lease assets, other assets, and goodwill. These assets are measured at fair value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or if there has been an observable price change of a non-marketable equity security.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, nonrecurring fair value measurements resulting in asset impairments were not material.

Equity Method Investments
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we owned 6,487 shares of common stock of Tractor Beverages, Inc. (“Tractor”). As of June 30, 2025, our investment represents ownership of approximately 13.5% of Tractor, and we have invested total cash consideration of $14,872. As we are a significant customer of Tractor and maintain board representation, we are accounting for our investment under the equity method. As of June 30, 2025, there were no impairment charges associated with this equity method investment. The investment in common stock is included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $16,708 and $18,097 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Refer to Note 13, "Related Party Transactions" for related party disclosures.
Other Investments
As of June 30, 2025, we held 5,819 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock of Hyphen. Hyphen is a privately held company, and as such, the preferred shares comprising our investment are illiquid and fair value is not readily determinable. As of June 30, 2025, we have recognized a cumulative gain of $6,782 related to our investment in Hyphen. The investment is included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet with a carrying value of $31,782 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, we owned 766 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock of Nuro, Inc. (“Nuro”). Our investment represents a minority interest and we have determined that we do not have significant influence over Nuro. Nuro is a privately held company, and as such, the preferred shares comprising our investment are illiquid and fair value is not readily determinable. In April 2025, Nuro announced a Series E financing round. With respect to our Series C Preferred Stock of Nuro, we concluded that the April 2025 transaction represented an observable price change in an orderly transaction for a similar investment of the same issuer. As a result, we recognized a loss of $6,168 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we have recognized a cumulative net loss of $200 related to our investment in Nuro due to observable transactions. The investment is included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $9,800 and $15,968 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025, we held additional investments in other entities through the Cultivate Next Fund. These additional investments are included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets with a carrying value of $28,892 and $21,252 as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
6. Shareholders’ Equity
We have had a stock repurchase program in place since 2008. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we repurchased $435,894 and $989,580 of stock at an average price per share of $50.16, and $52.32, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had $838,761 authorized for repurchasing shares of our common stock, which includes $400,000 in additional authorizations approved by our Board of Directors on June 10, 2025. All shares of common stock that we repurchase are immediately retired and not held as treasury stock.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, shares of common stock at a total cost of $33,319 and $73,011, respectively, were netted and surrendered as payment for minimum statutory withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of outstanding stock awards. Shares surrendered by the participants in accordance with the applicable award agreements and plan are deemed repurchased by us but are not part of publicly announced share repurchase programs.

7. Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan, we grant stock options, stock-only stock appreciation rights ("SOSARs"), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units ("PSUs") to employees and non-employee directors. SOSARs and RSUs generally vest in two equal installments on the second and third anniversary of the grant date. PSUs are subject to service, market and performance vesting conditions, and the quantity of shares that vest will range from 0% to 300% of the targeted number of shares.
In response to the departure of our former CEO in 2024, we granted retention RSUs to key executives. These awards have various vesting terms, and will vest over one, two or three years. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, total expense recognized for the retention RSUs was $24,090. The impact of these employee retention awards are reflected in the tables below.
Total stock-based compensation expense was as follows:

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Six months ended June 30,

8. Income Taxes
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was 24.5%, a decrease from an effective income tax rate of 25.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower non-deductible expenses, partially offset by a reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting.
The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was 23.7%, consistent with an effective income tax rate of 23.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. A reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting was offset primarily by a decrease in non-deductible expenses.

11. Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase Obligations
We enter into various purchase obligations in the ordinary course of business, generally of a short-term nature. Those that are binding primarily relate to commitments for food purchases and supplies, capital projects, corporate assets, information technology, marketing initiatives and corporate sponsorships, and other miscellaneous items.
11

Table of Contents
Litigation
We are involved in various claims and legal actions, such as wage and hour, wrongful termination and other employment-related claims, slip and fall and other personal injury claims, advertising and consumer claims, privacy claims, and lease, construction and other commercial disputes, that arise in the ordinary course of business, some of which may be covered by insurance. The outcomes of these actions are not predictable, but we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any pending or threatened actions of these types will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. However, if there is a significant increase in the number of these claims, or if we incur greater liabilities than we currently anticipate under one or more claims, it could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Shareholder Actions
As reported in previous SEC filings, Chipotle and several of its executive officers are defendants in Michael Stradford v. Chipotle et. al., a purported shareholder class action in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging that statements and omissions by Chipotle regarding portion sizes were materially false and misleading, resulting in the market price of Chipotle’s stock being artificially inflated during the claimed class period. On April 29, 2025, the lead plaintiff in the case, Lisa Tai, filed an amended complaint, pleading largely the same facts and alleged violations of law as the original Stradford complaint, adding additional factual allegations as well as allegations regarding purportedly improper insider trading by the individual defendants in the case. The case seeks damages on behalf of the purported class in an unspecified amount, interest, an award of reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, and other relief as determined to be appropriate by the court.
Also as reported in previous SEC filings, two shareholder derivative actions were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging that members of Chipotle’s Board of Directors and one of its executive officers breached their fiduciary duties by making or allowing Chipotle to make the allegedly false and misleading statements that are the subject of the Stradford matter described above. The complaint further alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing Chipotle to repurchase stock at inflated prices and by engaging in improper insider sales of Chipotle stock. The shareholder derivative actions have been consolidated into a single lawsuit captioned In re Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, and seeks damages in an unspecified amount as well as interest, an award of reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees, and other relief as determined to be appropriate by the court. The consolidated derivative action has been stayed pending a decision on the motion to dismiss that Chipotle filed in the Stradford action, which is in the briefing stage.
Chipotle intends to continue to defend these cases vigorously, but it is not possible at this time to reasonably estimate the outcome of or any potential liability from these cases.
Accrual for Estimated Liability
In relation to various legal matters, we had an accrued legal liability balance of $16,316 and $19,465 included within accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
12. Debt
On June 24, 2025, we terminated a $500,000 revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent, which we did not borrow on over the period of which it was active, and entered into a new $500,000 revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank as administrative agent. Borrowings on the credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 1.125%, which is subject to increase based on changes in our total leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. We are also obligated to pay a commitment fee of 0.115% per year for unused amounts under the credit facility, which also may increase based on changes in our total leverage ratio. We are subject to certain covenants defined in the credit agreement, which include maintaining a total leverage ratio of less than 3.0x, maintaining a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.5x, and limiting us from incurring additional indebtedness in certain circumstances. We had no outstanding borrowings under the new or former credit facility and were in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
13. Related Party Transactions
As of June 30, 2025, we owned approximately 13.5% of the common stock outstanding of Tractor. As we are a significant customer of Tractor and maintain board representation, we are accounting for our investment under the equity method. Accordingly, we have identified Tractor as a related party. We purchase product from the supplier for sale to guests in our restaurants. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, purchases from the supplier were $13,568 and $13,412, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, purchases from the supplier were $24,982 and $24,966, respectively.

Table of Contents
We are an investor in Vebu Inc. (“Vebu”), a developer of restaurant automation technology. As we are a significant customer of Vebu and maintain board representation, we have determined that Vebu is a related party. Our investment, which is comprised of preferred shares, is accounted for as a non-marketable equity investment and is included within long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, purchases from Vebu were $1,175 and $0, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, purchases from Vebu were $2,909 and $0, respectively.
14. Segment Reporting
We have a single reportable segment, the U.S. segment, that is comprised of our operations in the United States. Segment information is prepared and managed on the same basis as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Our CEO, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), does not evaluate asset information by reportable segment as asset information is provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis. Therefore, we do not disclose total assets by our reportable segment.
The following table presents selected financial information with respect to our single reportable segment:

(1)Other segment items consist of pre-opening costs, impairment, closure costs, and asset disposals related to the U.S. segment.
(2)Corporate and other unallocated expenses represent corporate overhead expenses that have not been allocated to any segment for reporting purposes including general and administrative expenses.
(3)Amounts reflect the net income from operations related to our operations in Canada, Europe and international licensed restaurants.
15. Subsequent Event
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was enacted in the U.S., which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, including extending and modifying certain key Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions (both domestic and international), and provisions allowing accelerated tax deductions for qualified property and research expenditures. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. While we are evaluating the full effects of the legislation on our estimated annual effective tax rate and cash tax position, we expect that the legislation will likely not have a material impact on our financial statements. As the legislation was signed into law after June 30, 2025, it had no impact on our operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Certain statements in this report are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements about the number of new restaurants we expect to open and the number with Chipotlanes, our expectation to generate positive cash flow for the foreseeable future, our expectations for utilization of cash flow from operations, our ability to manage prices, risks and volatility in our supply chain, our plans for continuing stock buybacks and the period of time during which our cash and short-term investment will fund our operations. We use words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “should”, “may”, “approximately”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “project”, “target”, "goal" and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions, to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information available to us as of the date of this filing and we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the statements, including but not limited to: increasing wage inflation, including as a result of state or local regulations mandating higher minimum wages, and the competitive labor market, which impacts our ability to attract and retain qualified employees and has resulted in occasional staffing shortages; the impact of any union organizing efforts and our responses to such efforts; risks of food safety incidents and food-borne illnesses; risks associated with our reliance on certain information technology systems and potential material failures, interruptions or outages; privacy and cyber security risks, including risk of breaches, unauthorized access, theft, modification, destruction or ransom of guest or employee personal or confidential information stored on our network or the network of third party providers; the impact of competition, including from sources outside the restaurant industry; the impact of federal, state or local government regulations relating to our employees, employment practices, restaurant design and construction, and the sale of food or alcoholic beverages; our ability to achieve our planned growth, such as the costs and availability of suitable new restaurant sites, construction materials and contractors and restaurant equipment; the expected costs and risks related to our international expansion, including through licensed restaurants in the Middle East and Mexico; increases in ingredient and other operating costs due to inflation, global conflicts, severe weather and climate change, our Food with Integrity philosophy, tariffs or trade restrictions; intermittent supply shortages relating to our Food with Integrity philosophy, rapid expansion and supply chain disruptions; the uncertainty of our ability to achieve expected levels of comparable restaurant sales due to factors such as changes in guests' perceptions of our brand, including as a result of negative publicity or social media posts, increased consumer uncertainty and decreased consumer spending (including as a result of higher inflation, mass layoffs, fear of possible recession and higher energy prices), or the inability to increase menu prices or realize the benefits of menu price increases; risks associated with our digital business, including risks arising from our reliance on third party delivery services and the IT infrastructure; litigation risks, including possible governmental actions and potential class action litigation related to food safety incidents, cybersecurity incidents, employment or privacy laws, advertising claims, contract disputes or other matters; and other risk factors described from time to time in our SEC reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in other reports filed with the SEC, all of which are available on the investor relations page of our website at ir.Chipotle.com.
As of June 30, 2025, we owned 3,750 Chipotle restaurants throughout the United States and 89 international Chipotle restaurants. Additionally, we had five international licensed restaurants. We manage our U.S. operations based on 11 regions and aggregate our operations to one reportable segment.
Throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” we discuss the following key operating metrics which we believe will drive our financial results and long-term growth model. We believe these metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our marketing and operational strategies:
•Comparable restaurant sales
•Food, beverage, and packaging as a percentage of total revenue
•Labor as a percentage of total revenue
•Occupancy as a percentage of total revenue
•Other operating costs as a percentage of total revenue
•New restaurant openings
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights, year-over-year:
•Total revenue increased 3.0% to $3.1 billion
•Comparable restaurant sales decreased 4.0%
•Diluted earnings per share was $0.32, a 3.0% decrease from $0.33

Sales Trends. Comparable restaurant sales decreased 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is attributable to lower transactions of 4.9% which is offset by a 0.9% increase in average check. While transactions have been impacted by a slowdown in consumer spending, we exited the quarter with positive comps and positive transactions. Comparable restaurant sales represent the change in period-over-period total revenue for company-owned restaurants in operation for at least 13 full calendar months. Digital sales represented 35.5% of total food and beverage revenue. For 2025, management is anticipating about flat comparable restaurant sales.
Restaurant Development. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we opened 61 restaurants, which included 47 restaurants with a Chipotlane. We expect to open approximately 315 to 345 company-owned restaurants in 2025. We expect that at least 80% of our new company-owned restaurants will include a Chipotlane.

Food, Beverage and Packaging Costs

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Percentage |  | Six months ended June 30, |  | Percentage
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change

Food, beverage and packaging | $ | 886.0 |  |  | $ | 873.7 |  |  | 1.4 | % |  | $ | 1,724.4 |  |  | $ | 1,652.7 |  |  | 4.3 | %
As a percentage of total revenue | 28.9 | % |  | 29.4 | % |  | (0.5 | %) |  | 29.0 | % |  | 29.1 | % |  | (0.1 | %)

Food, beverage and packaging costs decreased 0.5% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a 0.6% benefit from menu price increases in the prior year and from cost of sales efficiencies. This decrease was partially offset by inflation across several ingredient costs, primarily steak and chicken.

Table of Contents
Food, beverage and packaging costs decreased 0.1% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a 0.7% benefit from menu price increases in the prior year and, to a lesser extent, from cost of sales efficiencies. This decrease was partially offset by higher usage or inflation across several ingredient costs, primarily chicken, avocados, dairy and steak.
We estimate that the tariffs enacted since April 2025 will increase food, beverage and packaging costs by about 50 basis points on an ongoing basis. Due to goods imported prior to the enactment of tariffs, we anticipate about a 40 basis point increase in food, beverage and packaging costs during the third quarter of 2025 relating to tariffs. These estimates could vary based on future tariff policy changes.
Labor Costs

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Percentage |  | Six months ended June 30, |  | Percentage
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change
| (dollars in millions) |  |  |  | (dollars in millions) |  |
Labor costs | $ | 756.3 |  |  | $ | 716.6 |  |  | 5.5 | % |  | $ | 1,474.5 |  |  | $ | 1,376.1 |  |  | 7.2 | %
As a percentage of total revenue | 24.7 | % |  | 24.1 | % |  | 0.6 | % |  | 24.8 | % |  | 24.2 | % |  | 0.6 | %

Labor costs increased 0.6% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the impact from lower sales volumes. A 0.5% benefit from menu price increases in the prior year and efficient management of labor more than offset wage inflation.
Labor costs increased 0.6% as a percentage of total revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to the impact from lower sales volumes, as a 0.6% benefit from menu price increases in the prior year was offset by restaurant wage inflation, including minimum wage increases for our restaurants in California.
Occupancy Costs

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Percentage |  | Six months ended June 30, |  | Percentage
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change

As a percentage of total revenue | 5.0 | % |  | 4.7 | % |  | 0.3 | % |  | 5.1 | % |  | 4.8 | % |  | 0.3 | %

Occupancy costs increased 0.3% as a percentage of total revenue for t he three and six m onths ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to the impact from lower sales volumes, as a 0.1% benefit from menu price increases in the prior year was offset by expenses associated with new restaurants.
Other Operating Costs

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Percentage |  | Six months ended June 30, |  | Percentage
| 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change |  | 2025 |  | 2024 |  | change

Other operating costs | $ | 428.7 |  |  | $ | 384.8 |  |  | 11.4 | % |  | $ | 843.8 |  |  | $ | 770.5 |  |  | 9.5 | %
As a percentage of total revenue | 14.0 | % |  | 12.9 | % |  | 1.1 | % |  | 14.2 | % |  | 13.6 | % |  | 0.6 | %

Other operating costs increased 1.1% as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was due to the impact from several items, primarily 0.6% of higher marketing and promotional activities and 0.2% of lower sales volumes. These were partially offset by 0.2% from the benefit of menu price increases in the prior year.
Other operating costs increased 0.6% as a percentage of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Provision for Income Taxes

| Three months ended June 30, |  | Percentage |  | Six months ended June 30, |  | Percentage

Provision for income taxes | $ | 141.3 |  |  | $ | 152.2 |  |  | (7.2 | %) |  | $ | 256.2 |  |  | $ | 253.6 |  |  | 1.0 | %
Effective income tax rate | 24.5 | % |  | 25.0 | % |  | (0.5 | %) |  | 23.7 | % |  | 23.7 | % |  | - | %

The effective income tax rate decreased 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a 0.6% decrease in non-deductible expenses, partially offset by a 0.2% reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting.
The effective income tax rate remained flat for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The six months ended June 30, 2025 had a 0.4% reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting which was offset primarily by a 0.3% decrease in non-deductible expenses.
Seasonality
Seasonal factors cause our profitability to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Historically, our average daily restaurant sales and net income are lower in the first and fourth quarters due, in part, to the holiday season and because fewer people eat out during periods of inclement weather (the winter months) than during periods of mild or warm weather (the spring, summer and fall months). Other factors also have a seasonal effect on our results. For example, restaurants located near colleges and universities generally do more business during the academic year. Seasonal factors, however, might be moderated or outweighed by other factors that may influence our quarterly results, such as unexpected publicity impacting our business in a positive or negative way, disease outbreak, epidemic or endemic, the impact of inflation and consumer sentiment on consumer spending, fluctuations in food or packaging costs, the timing of holidays, or the timing of menu price increases or promotional activities and other marketing initiatives. The number of trading days in a quarter can also affect our results, although, on an overall annual basis, changes in trading days do not have a significant impact.
18

Table of Contents
Our quarterly results are also affected by other factors such as the amount and timing of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and related tax rate impacts, litigation, settlement costs and related legal expenses, impairment charges and non-operating costs, timing of marketing or promotional expenses, the number and timing of new restaurants opened in a quarter, and closure of restaurants. New restaurants typically have higher operating costs following opening because of the expenses associated with their opening and operating inefficiencies in the months immediately following opening. Accordingly, results for a particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other quarter or for any year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Investments
As of June 30, 2025, we had a cash and marketable investments balance of $2.0 billion, non-marketable investments of $83.3 million, and $30.7 million of restricted cash. After funding the current operations in our restaurants and support centers, the first planned use of our cash flow from operations is to provide capital for the continued investment in new restaurant construction. In addition to continuing to invest in our restaurant expansion, we expect to utilize cash flow from operations to: repurchase additional shares of our common stock subject to market conditions; invest in, maintain, and refurbish our existing restaurants; and for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2025, $838.8 million remained available for repurchases of shares of our common stock, which includes the $400.0 million additional authorization approved by our Board of Directors on June 10, 2025. Under the remaining repurchase authorizations, shares may be purchased from time to time in open market transactions, subject to market conditions.
Borrowing Capacity
As of June 30, 2025, we had $500.0 million of undrawn borrowing capacity under a line of credit facility.
Use of Cash
We believe that cash from operations, together with our cash and investment balances, will be sufficient to meet ongoing capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other cash needs for the foreseeable future. Assuming no significant declines in comparable restaurant sales, we expect we will generate positive cash flow for the foreseeable future.
We have not required significant working capital because guests generally pay using cash or credit and debit cards and because our operations do not require significant receivables, nor do they require significant inventories due, in part, to our use of various fresh ingredients. In addition, we generally have the right to pay for the purchase of food, beverages and supplies sometime after the receipt of those items, generally within ten days, thereby reducing the need for incremental working capital to support our growth.
Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities was $1.12 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.13 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to net cash changes in operating assets and liabilities. This was partially offset by higher net earnings.
Cash provided by investing activities was $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to cash used in investing activities of $637.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily associated with a $677.5 million decrease in investment purchases net of investment maturities. This was partially offset by increased capital expenditures of $32.2 million primarily related to costs associated with new restaurant development.
Cash used in financing activities was $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $245.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily due to increased repurchases of common stock of $824.7 million and, to a lesser extent, $39.7 million of lower payments of tax withholding related to stock-based compensation.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and that require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and various other factors that we believe to be appropriate under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates, and we might obtain different estimates if we used different assumptions or factors. We had no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
Commodity Price Risks
We are exposed to commodity price risks. The prices of many of the ingredients we use to prepare our food, as well as our packaging materials, kitchen equipment, construction material and utilities to run our restaurants, are affected by the price of other commodities, exchange rates, trade tariffs, foreign demand, weather, seasonality, production, availability and other factors outside our control. We work closely with our suppliers and use a mix of forward pricing protocols under which we agree with our supplier on fixed prices for deliveries at some time in the future, fixed pricing protocols under which we agree on a fixed price with our supplier for the duration of that protocol, formula pricing protocols under which the prices we pay are based on a specified formula related to the prices of the goods, such as spot prices or based on changes in industry indices, and range forward protocols under which we agree on a price range for the duration of that protocol. Generally, our pricing protocols with suppliers can remain in effect for periods ranging from one to 24 months, depending on the outlook for prices of the particular ingredient. In some cases, we have minimum purchase obligations. We have tried to increase the number of suppliers and geographic locations for our ingredients, packaging, equipment, construction and utilities, which we believe can help mitigate pricing volatility and supply continuity risks, and we follow industry news, trade tariffs, exchange rates, foreign demand, weather, geopolitical crises and other world events that may affect our ingredient prices. Increases in ingredient prices could adversely affect our results if we choose for competitive or other reasons not to increase menu prices at the same rate at which ingredient costs increase, or if menu price increases result in guest resistance. We also could experience shortages of key ingredients for many unforeseen reasons, such as crop damage due to inclement weather, if our suppliers need to close or restrict operations, or due to industry-wide shipping and freight delays.
Changing Interest Rates
We are exposed to interest rate risk through fluctuations of interest rates on our investments. As of June 30, 2025, we had $2.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents, current and long-term investments, and restricted cash, of which the substantial majority are interest bearing. Changes in interest rates affect the interest income we earn, and therefore impact our cash flows and results of operations.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
A portion of our operations consist of activities outside of the U.S. and we have currency risk on the transactions in other currencies and translation adjustments resulting from the conversion of our international financial results into the U.S. dollar. However, a substantial majority of our operations and investment activities are transacted in the U.S., and therefore our foreign currency risk is not material at this date.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2025, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025 in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
