Ark Restaurants Corp. reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $40.9 million, down from $43.7 million a year earlier, with same-store sales declining 6.6%. For the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2026, revenue was $118.2 million versus $128.4 million, and company-wide same-store sales declined 7.2%.
The company posted a third-quarter net loss of $347,000 ($0.10 per share), a smaller loss than $3.45 million ($0.96 per share) a year earlier. Adjusted EBITDA was $358,000 versus $1.79 million in the prior-year quarter. Cash and cash equivalents were $9.49 million, with total outstanding debt of $7.12 million.
Ark highlighted continued strength at its New York-New York Hotel & Casino operations in Las Vegas and its Alabama locations, while New York City, Washington, DC, and Florida markets remain challenged. The Bryant Park Grill, Bryant Park Café and The Porch at Bryant Park generated $17.1 million, or 14.5%, of year-to-date revenue and are subject to an adverse court ejectment order currently stayed through around October 16, 2026. The company also described legislative uncertainty around casino authorization at the Meadowlands, which will drive the long-term realizability of its investment in New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC.
Ark Restaurants Corp. reports a key court ruling in its long-running dispute over its Bryant Park restaurant locations in New York City. A New York State court granted summary judgment in favor of the company on its claim that the landlord breached the Bryant Park Grill lease and related right of first lease for the Bryant Park Café, entitling Ark to money damages to be decided at a future trial.
The court also granted the landlord summary judgment on its claims for ejectment, use and occupancy, and breach of contract relating to the Bryant Park Café and The Porch at Bryant Park, while dismissing the remainder of Ark’s claims. Ark plans to file a Notice of Appeal on the adverse portions of the decision, which would stay eviction during the appeal. The company states that the uncertainty around this dispute has had, and is expected to continue to have, a material adverse impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Ark Restaurants Corp. reported results for the second quarter ended March 28, 2026, showing a much smaller net loss even as sales softened. Net loss attributable to Ark Restaurants was $(1,808,000), or $(0.50) per share, compared with $(9,258,000), or $(2.57) per share, a year earlier. Total revenues were $36,584,000 versus $39,725,000 as same-store sales declined 7.6%. EBITDA, as adjusted, was $(592,000), a modest improvement from $(691,000) in the prior-year quarter.
The company ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of $11,487,000 and total outstanding debt of $7,553,000. Ark wrote off $566,000 of prepaid rent tied to its disputed Bryant Park Grill, Bryant Park Café and The Porch at Bryant Park leases; these locations generated about 13.3% of total revenue for the 26 weeks ended March 28, 2026. Management highlighted ongoing lease litigation and continued operational pressure in Washington, DC and Florida, while Las Vegas and the Robert restaurant in New York City performed better than last year. The company also reiterated that its investment in New Meadowlands Racetrack LLC carries significant uncertainty and may require further impairment assessment if planned gaming expansion does not progress.

Ark Restaurants Corp. reported weaker first-quarter results for the 13 weeks ended December 27, 2025. Total revenue was $40,749,000 versus $44,988,000 a year earlier, reflecting softer sales and the prior closure of the Tampa Food Court. Company-wide same store sales, excluding Tampa, decreased 7.3%.
EBITDA, as adjusted, rose to $1,529,000 from $1,378,000, but net income attributable to Ark Restaurants Corp. fell to $896,000, or $0.25 per share, compared with $3,164,000, or $0.88 per share, mainly due to prior-year gains and lower contributions.
The Bryant Park Grill & Café and The Porch at Bryant Park, which generated about 19.5% of revenue this quarter, face ongoing lease litigation and negative publicity, which the company states has had and is expected to continue to have a material adverse effect.
