The Company recorded a pre-tax net expense of $1.2 million related to Fox Restaurant Concepts (“FRC”) acquisition-related items, and impairment of assets and lease termination expenses.

Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants increased 1.2% year-over-year in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

“We delivered another quarter of strong results, with record-high revenue, continued margin expansion, and profitability that exceeded our guidance,” said David Overton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The Cheesecake Factory restaurants led our performance, with comparable sales finishing above our expectations, reflecting healthy consumer demand for the delicious, memorable dining experiences we provide. Our restaurant teams executed exceptionally well, delivering year-over-year improvements in labor productivity, food efficiency, wage management, hourly staff and manager retention and guest satisfaction scores, driving solid earnings growth.”

Overton continued, “We opened eight new restaurants across various concepts and markets during the second quarter to strong consumer reception and encouraging early sales trends, reinforcing the broad appeal of our high-quality, experiential concepts. Our development pipeline remains on track, and with 16 openings through the first half of 2025, we’re pleased with the progress we’ve made on new unit growth so far this year. Looking ahead, we remain focused on carrying the momentum, operational discipline, and strong execution from the first half of the year into the back half of 2025, to continue driving the consistent performance that has long defined The Cheesecake Factory.”

In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present net income and net income per share excluding the impact of certain items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by eliminating from net income and diluted net income per share the impact of items the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operations. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.

In addition to the results provided in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in this presentation, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present free cash flow, adjusted net income/(loss), adjusted diluted net income/(loss) per common share, adjusted net income margin and adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that the presentation of these items provides additional information to facilitate the comparison of past and present financial results. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. We calculate these non-GAAP measures by eliminating from net income/(loss), diluted net income/(loss) per common share, net income margin and EBITDA the impact of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operations. Additionally, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of certain non-cash transactions. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items. In the future, we may incur expenses or generate income similar to the adjusted items. NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS
