Fat Brands Financials
Fat Brands (FAT) reported $574.1M in revenue over the twelve months to Sep 28, 2025, down 5.3% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 8 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Revenue growth has come with shrinking unit economics, leaving a larger but more cash-hungry balance sheet.
Between FY2023 and FY2024, revenue rose by$112.2M while gross profit rose by only$2.0M . That pattern says the issue is not simply slower growth: with gross margin down to33.7% from41.1% , newer sales carried much less contribution, so scale stopped helping absorb corporate costs.
