    The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ:CAKE) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on December 30, 2025.

    Total revenues were $961.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $921.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Fourth quarter fiscal 2025 includes $17.3 million of gift card breakage revenue as a result of a change in historical redemption patterns. Net income and diluted net income per share were $28.8 million and $0.60, respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

    The Company recorded a pre-tax net expense of $24.6 million related to impairment of assets and lease termination expenses, Fox Restaurant Concepts ("FRC") acquisition-related items, gift card breakage and gift card inventory adjustments. Excluding the after-tax impact of these and certain other items, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $48.3 million and $1.00, respectively. Please see the Company's reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.

    Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants declined 2.2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

    "We delivered solid fourth quarter and full-year results in 2025, generating record annual revenue supported by 25 new restaurant openings for the year," said David Overton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Despite a more challenging operating environment across the restaurant industry, including weather-related impacts, revenue for the quarter finished within our expected range. Margins and adjusted diluted net income per share finished toward the higher end of our expectations, reflecting the resilience of our business and strong operational execution. Our operators remained focused on the factors within their control, delivering year-over-year improvements in labor productivity, wage management, hourly staff and manager retention, and guest satisfaction.

    "During the fourth quarter, we opened seven new restaurants and delivered approximately 7% unit growth for the year. Looking ahead, we expect to open as many as 26 restaurants this year, and with a strong pipeline in place we remain confident in our ability to achieve our development goal.

    "Underscoring our confidence in the strength and consistency of the business, we also announced an increase of 5.0 million shares to our repurchase authorization and raised our quarterly dividend to $0.30 per share. While the operating environment remains competitive, our strong operational execution, continued menu innovation, and portfolio of high-quality concepts differentiate our business and position us well for long-term growth and shareholder value creation."

    Development

    During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company opened two Cheesecake Factory, two North Italia, and three FRC restaurants. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company opened one Flower Child location and closed four restaurants, including two Cheesecake Factory restaurants, one Grand Lux Cafe, and one FRC location.

    The Company now expects to open as many as 26 new restaurants in fiscal 2026, including as many as six The Cheesecake Factory restaurants, six to seven North Italia locations, six to seven Flower Child locations and as many as eight FRC restaurants.

    Liquidity and Capital Allocation

    As of December 30, 2025, the Company had total available liquidity of $582.2 million, including a cash balance of $215.7 million and $366.5 million of availability on its revolving credit facility with no outstanding balance.

On February 12, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase of 5.0 million shares to the existing repurchase program raising the total authorization to 66 million shares, of which approximately 6.0 million shares remain available for repurchase following the increase.

    Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results

    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.

    (1) A detailed breakdown of impairment of assets and lease termination expenses recorded in the thirteen and fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 can be found in the Selected Segment Information table.

    (2) Represents changes in the fair value of the deferred consideration and contingent consideration and compensation liabilities related to the North Italia and FRC acquisition, as well as amortization of acquired definite-lived licensing agreements.

    (3) Represents gift card breakage revenue of $17.3 million as a result of a change in historical redemption patterns, partially offset by a non-recurring $7.9 million write-down of gift card inventory.

    (4) Represents premium paid and acceleration of previously unamortized deferred financing costs as a result of partial redemption of our convertible senior notes due 2026.

    (5) Represents a reserve for uncertain tax position related to tenant improvements allowances and Section 199 deductions. Uncertain tax positions taken in a tax return are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by tax authorities based on technical merits, taking into account available administrative remedies and litigation.

    (6) Based on the federal statutory rate and an estimated blended state tax rate, the tax effect on all adjustments assumes a 26% tax rate for the fiscal 2025 and 2024 periods.

    (7) Adjusted net income per share may not add due to rounding.
