Analysis of Results:

Investments affect our reported quarterly earnings based on their carrying value. We do not regard the quarterly or annual fluctuations in our investments to be meaningful. Therefore, our operating businesses are best analyzed before the impact of investment gains. As a consequence, in the preceding table we separate earnings of our operating businesses from our investment gains.

In the second quarter of 2026, Steak n Shake's same-store sales for domestic company-operated and franchise-partner-operated restaurants increased by 13.8%.
