Rhea-AI Summary

Chipotle (NYSE: CMG) reported third quarter 2025 results for the period ended September 30, 2025. Total revenue was $3.0 billion, up 7.5% year‑over‑year, driven by new restaurant openings and a 0.3% comparable restaurant sales increase. Digital sales represented 36.7% of food and beverage revenue. Company opened 84 company‑owned restaurants (64 with Chipotlane) and opened two international partner‑operated restaurants in Q3.

HIGHLIGHTS POSITIVE COMPARABLE SALES

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Third  quarter highlights, year over year:

• Total revenue increased 7.5% to $3.0 billion
• Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.3%
• Operating margin was 15.9%, a decrease from 16.9%
• Restaurant level operating margin¹ was 24.5%, a decrease from 25.5%
• Diluted earnings per share was $0.29, a 3.6% increase from $0.28
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.29, a 7.4% increase from $0.27
• Opened 84 company-owned restaurants, with 64 locations including a Chipotlane, and two international partner-operated restaurants

"While we continue to see persistent macroeconomic pressures, our extraordinary value proposition and brand strength remain strong," said Scott Boatwright, Chief Executive Officer, Chipotle. "Our best-in-class teams are focused on doubling down on restaurant execution, sharpening our marketing message, accelerating menu innovation and creating more engaging digital experiences to ensure we emerge stronger and get back to driving positive transaction growth."

Results for the three months ended September 30, 2025:
Total revenue in the third quarter of 2025 was $3.0 billion, an increase of 7.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase in total revenue was driven by new restaurant openings and a 0.3% increase in comparable restaurant sales due to a 1.1% increase in average check, partially offset by lower transactions of 0.8%. Digital sales represented 36.7% of total food and beverage revenue.

During the third quarter we opened 84 company-owned restaurants, of which 64 included a Chipotlane, and two international partner-operated restaurants. Chipotlanes continue to perform well and are helping enhance guest access and convenience, as well as increase new restaurant sales, margins, and returns.

Food, beverage and packaging costs in the third quarter of 2025 were 30.0% of total revenue, a decrease from 30.6% in the third quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the benefit of menu price increases in 2024 and cost of sales efficiencies. This decrease was partially offset by inflation, primarily in beef and chicken, and the impact from newly enacted tariffs.

Labor costs in the third quarter of 2025 were 25.2% of total revenue, an increase from 24.9% in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to lower sales volumes and wage inflation, partially offset by the benefit from menu price increases in 2024.

General and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were $146.7 million, compared to $126.6 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation, as the prior year had a reduction in expense from equity awards forfeited by our former CEO. On a non-GAAP basis, general and administrative expenses¹ for the third quarter of 2025 were $138.7 million, compared to $149.3 million in the third quarter of 2024.

The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was 23.1%, an increase from 22.9% in the third quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting and a reduction of certain income tax reserves in the comparable period, partially offset by lower non-deductible expenses.

Net income for the third quarter of 2025 was $382.1 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $387.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income¹ for the third quarter of 2025 was $389.9 million, or $0.29 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $366.6 million, or $0.27 per adjusted diluted share in the third quarter of 2024.

During the third quarter of 2025 we repurchased $686.5 million of stock at an average price per share of $42.39. As of September 30, 2025, $652.3 million remained available under share repurchase authorizations from our Board of Directors, including an additional $500 million in authorizations approved by our Board of Directors on September 3, 2025. The repurchase authorization may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

More information will be available in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which will be filed with the SEC by the end of October 2025.

• 315 to 345 new company-owned restaurant openings with over 80% having a Chipotlane
• An estimated underlying effective full year tax rate between 25% and 27% before discrete items

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Below are definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures in this release. The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted net income is net income excluding lease remeasurement gains, expenses related to certain legal proceedings, stock-based compensation retention grants, and loss on investments. Adjusted general and administrative expense is general and administrative expense excluding expenses related to certain legal proceedings and stock-based compensation retention grants. The adjusted effective income tax rate is the effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the after tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments. Restaurant level operating margin is equal to the revenues generated by our restaurants less their direct operating costs which consist of food, beverage and packaging, labor, occupancy and other operating costs. This performance measure primarily includes the costs that restaurant level managers can directly control and excludes other costs that are essential to conduct our business. Management uses restaurant level operating margin as a measure of restaurant performance. Management believes restaurant level operating margin is useful to investors in that it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. We present these non-GAAP measures in order to facilitate meaningful evaluation of our operating performance across periods. These adjustments are intended to provide greater transparency of underlying performance and to allow investors to evaluate our business on the same basis as our management, which uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating the company's performance. Our adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted effective income tax rate and restaurant level operating margin measures may not be comparable to other companies' adjusted measures. These adjustments are not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial performance would have been during the periods presented and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further details regarding these adjustments are included in the tables below.
