Insights

GEN posted 13% revenue growth with modest same-store sales decline, showing expansion-driven growth amid consumer spending headwinds.

GEN Restaurant Group delivered a 13% year-over-year revenue increase to $57.3 million in Q1 2025, primarily driven by new restaurant openings rather than same-store performance. The company's same-store sales declined by 0.7% – a noteworthy improvement compared to their 5.6% decline for all of 2024, indicating a potential turnaround in customer traffic and spending patterns.

The company's expansion strategy is clearly gaining momentum, with six new locations opened in Q1 alone, bringing their total to 49 restaurants across eleven states. Management's commitment to opening 12-13 new locations in 2025, including international expansion into South Korea, demonstrates confidence in their growth model despite economic challenges.

However, profitability metrics show mixed results. Restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA increased by 6% to $9 million, but operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased by 120 basis points to 88%. This margin compression is concerning, as it indicates the company is struggling to maintain profitability while growing. The net loss of $2.1 million ($0.06 per share) compared to net income of $3.8 million in Q1 2024 reflects higher costs related to aggressive expansion.

The company maintains a solid balance sheet with $15.4 million in cash, no material long-term debt, and full access to a $20 million credit line. This financial flexibility supports their ambitious growth plans but doesn't eliminate concerns about current profitability challenges.

The launch of their dual-concept location combining Korean BBQ with their new Kan Sushi brand represents an interesting strategic pivot that could unlock new growth opportunities if successful. Management's guidance of $245-250 million in full-year revenue with restaurant-level EBITDA margins of 17-18% suggests they expect significant margin improvement in upcoming quarters.

CERRITOS, Calif., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GEN Restaurant Group, Inc.

Management Commentary

“We’re pleased to report a strong start to 2025, highlighted by the opening of six new restaurants, including our first dual-concept location in Austin which features both GEN Korean BBQ and our new Kan Sushi brand,” said David Kim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GEN. “The successful launch of this new format from our incubator division reflects the versatility and appeal of our brand portfolio, and we believe this new all-you-can-eat concept can open the door to compelling growth opportunities in both existing and new markets. Despite a more cautious consumer spending environment and continued macroeconomic headwinds, we delivered solid performance across the portfolio with a sequential improvement in comparable restaurant sales in Q1. This reflects growing traction from our strategic pricing actions, premium menu offerings, and the continued success of our recent openings. In this more cautious consumer environment, we are also increasingly seeing new guests recognize GEN for its unique, high-quality experience at an accessible price point.

“Looking to the remainder of 2025, our development pipeline remains robust, and we are on track to achieve our full-year goal of 12 to 13 new restaurants, including our first three international locations in South Korea. We’re encouraged by the early success of our dual-concept format as a potential lever for future growth. With that, our full-year outlook anticipates restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA margin in the 17% to 18% range, and $245 to $250 million in total revenue, with an annual run rate approaching $300 million once all our new restaurants are open. With strong cash flow and over $15 million in cash and cash equivalents, no material long-term debt, and full availability of our $20 million line of credit, we are in excellent position to execute our strategic priorities. With growing brand awareness, compelling unit economics, and disciplined execution, we remain confident in our ability to drive sustained, profitable growth in 2025 and beyond.”

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total revenue increased 13.0% to $57.3 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $50.8 million in the first quarter of 2024. Comparable restaurant sales in the first quarter of 2025 decreased to a modest 0.7% excluding the effect of February 29th, 2024. 

Total restaurant operating expenses (excluding pre-opening expenses) as a percentage of revenue increased 120 basis points to 88.0% in the first quarter of 2025 from 86.8% in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year changes as a percentage of revenue are primarily driven by the following:  

  • Cost of goods sold increased by 20 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily as a result of additional restaurants in operation and inflationary cost increases. There was minimal impact from the Company’s premium menu rollout. Cost of goods sold decreased by 50 basis points compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
  • Payroll and benefits decreased 10 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024.
  • Occupancy costs increased 40 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to new restaurant openings.
  • Other operating costs increased by 30 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024.
  • Depreciation and amortization increased 50 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024.
  • Restaurant pre-opening expenses increased to $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 from $1.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 due to six new restaurant openings compared to two openings in the prior year period.

General and administrative expenses, excluding non-cash stock compensation expenses, for the first quarter of 2025 increased to $5.6 million, or 9.8% as a percentage of total revenue, largely reflecting increased personnel required for new restaurant development and additional marketing and legal expenditures.

Net loss before income taxes was $2.1 million, which equated to $(0.06) per diluted share of Class A common stock for the first quarter of 2025, compared to net income before income taxes of $3.8 million, which equated to $0.11 per diluted share of Class A common stock in the first quarter of 2024. The prior year period included a one-time gain of $3.4 million related to the acquisition of the Company’s 50% partner in GKBH Restaurant LLC, which included acquiring the rights the partner had to participate in future GEN restaurants in the State of Hawaii, on February 19, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher costs related to new restaurant development, including pre-opening costs. Adjusted net income was $1.4 million, which equated to $0.04 per diluted share of Class A common stock for the first quarter of 2025.

Adjusted EBITDA was $1.2 million or 2.2% of revenue inclusive of pre-opening expenses of approximately $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $6.4 million or 12.5% of revenue inclusive of pre-opening expenses of $1.9 million in the prior year period. The prior year period includes the aforementioned $3.4 million one-time gain from the partner buyout. Excluding the gain, adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 would have been $3.0 million

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $15.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company continues to operate with no material long-term debt and has access to $20.0 million in total available liquidity.

Non-GAAP Measures

Restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations plus adjustments to add-back the following expenses: depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs, general and administrative expenses, and non-cash lease expense. Management believes that restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because this measure highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures and enabling investors to more effectively compare the Company’s performance to prior and future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and we also exclude non-recurring items, such as stock-based compensation expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, and Restaurant Revitalization Fund, or RRF, grants, employee retention credits, litigation accruals, non-cash lease expenses and non-cash lease expense related to pre-opening costs. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because this measure highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures and enabling investors to more effectively compare the Company’s performance to prior and future periods.

Adjusted Net Income represents net (loss) income plus pre-opening costs, gain on remeasurement of previously held interest and non-cash stock-based compensation, and net of the tax impact of all adjustments. Management believes that adjusted net income is useful to investors because this measure highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures and enabling investors to more effectively compare the Company’s performance to prior and future periods.
