Ark Restaurants Corp. reported total revenues of $165.8M for the year ended September 27, 2025, down 9.7% from $183.5M a year earlier, reflecting weaker same-store sales and the closure of El Rio Grande and the Tampa Food Court. The company posted an operating loss of $4.1M, similar to last year, after recognizing a $5.2M gain on the Tampa lease termination and significant non-cash impairment charges, including $4.7M on Sequoia’s right-of-use and long-lived assets and a $3.4M goodwill write-down.
The Bryant Park Grill & Café and The Porch at Bryant Park leases expired in 2025 and are the subject of ongoing litigation; these locations generated $25.5M and $31.1M of revenue in 2025 and 2024, or about 15.4% and 17.4% of total revenue, and the related uncertainty is described as having a material adverse impact. Same-store sales fell 4.2% company-wide, with notable declines in New York and Washington, D.C., while Florida modestly grew. Ark ended the year with $11.3M in cash, a reduced working capital deficit of $5.4M, and ongoing capital commitments to refresh key Las Vegas properties. The Board has not declared dividends since May 2024.

Ark Restaurants (ARKR) reported total revenues of $43.7 million for the 13-week period, down 13.3% from the prior-year quarter, driven by a 7.4% same-store sales decline and closures of two properties. The company posted a consolidated net loss of $3.2 million for the quarter and a year-to-date loss of $7.3 million, which included a $3.44 million goodwill impairment and $4.7 million of right-of-use and long-lived asset impairments related largely to its Sequoia location. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $12.3 million and operating cash flow was positive $1.1 million year-to-date, helped by non-recurring gains including a $5.235 million gain from termination of a Tampa lease and $0.39 million gain on condominium sales. A pending legal dispute over the Bryant Park Grill and The Porch at Bryant Park — locations that represented ~15.4% of revenue year-to-date — creates material uncertainty. The company extended its credit facility maturity to 2028 but also recorded a discrete tax provision of $4.8 million that drove a large year-to-date tax expense.
