El Pollo Loco Holdings reported higher profitability and cash flow for the thirteen and twenty‑six weeks ended July 1, 2026. Total revenue rose to $129.6 million for the quarter and $255.8 million year‑to‑date, driven mainly by company‑operated restaurant sales. System‑wide comparable restaurant sales increased 3.9% in the quarter and 4.9% year‑to‑date.
Quarterly net income increased to $12.8 million (diluted EPS $0.43) from $7.1 million, as lower general and administrative and franchise expenses, along with reduced interest expense, offset higher food and labor costs. Operating cash flow strengthened to $44.7 million in the first half, enabling net repayments on the revolving credit facility to $30.0 million outstanding at quarter‑end, further reduced to $26.0 million after July 1. Management states that existing cash, cash generation, and $109.7 million of remaining revolver availability support liquidity for at least the next twelve months.
The system comprised 511 restaurants in ten U.S. states plus eight licensed units in the Philippines, with about 71% of revenue concentrated in greater Los Angeles. Management highlights ongoing headwinds from California wage legislation, inflation, and potential tariff‑driven commodity and packaging cost increases.
