Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Black Rock Coffee Bar reported strong growth for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 while still posting a sizable annual loss. Fourth quarter revenue rose to $53.6 million, up 25.3% year over year, with same store sales up 9.3% and 12 new stores opened. Q4 net income was $1.6 million versus a prior-year loss, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $6.5 million.

For 2025, revenue reached $200.3 million, up 24.5%, but net loss widened to $16.5 million even as Adjusted EBITDA rose to $27.5 million. The company ended the year with $28.4 million in cash and $26.7 million in total debt. Management expects 2026 revenue of $255–$257 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $33.5–$34.5 million, and 36 new store openings. Two directors, Bryan Pereboom and Jake Spellmeyer, resigned from the board, and the company stated their decisions were not due to disagreements over operations or policies.

Insights

High growth and improving unit economics contrast with widening annual net loss.

Black Rock Coffee Bar is scaling rapidly, with 2025 revenue up 24.5% to $200.3 million and 32 net new stores. Same store sales grew 10.1%, and Store-Level Profit rose to $58.5 million with a 29.2% margin, indicating strong store-level economics.

Despite this, net loss more than doubled to $(16.5) million, driven by higher SG&A, IPO and restructuring costs, interest expense, and TRA-related items. Adjusted EBITDA grew 36.2% to $27.5 million, suggesting underlying profitability is better than GAAP results imply but still reliant on adjustments.

For 2026, management guides to $255–$257 million in revenue, mid-single-digit same store sales growth, and $33.5–$34.5 million Adjusted EBITDA, alongside significant capital spending of $40–$41 million. Execution on 36 planned openings and controlling overhead will be key to converting growth into sustained profitability.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA”, "Adjusted EBITDA Margin", “Store-Level Profit”, “Store-Level Profit Margin”, “Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses”, and "Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Margin". We believe these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our operating performance. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide. Please refer to the tables in this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin
Store-Level Profit represents store revenue in the specific period less beverage, food and packaging, labor and related expenses, occupancy and related expenses, and other store operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and pre-opening costs in the period.
Store-Level Profit Margin represents Store-Level Profit as a percentage of store revenue. We use Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin in our evaluation of the performance and profitability of each store.
We use Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is net loss adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including transaction costs associated with our initial public offering ("IPO"), capital restructuring costs, equity-based compensation, gain (loss) on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRA, certain litigation costs, net, point-of-sale system transition costs and other non-core costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total revenue.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses and Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Margin
Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses is selling, general, and administrative expenses adjusted to exclude transaction costs, capital restructuring costs, equity-based compensation, legal settlement, net, point-of-sale system transition costs and other costs. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Margin represents Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of Total revenue.
We use Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses and Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Margin because it may provide a more meaningful comparison to prior periods and may be indicative of the level of such expenses to be incurred in future periods.

Supplemental Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals
Following are the reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP financial measures.
