Papa John’s International reported lower first-quarter 2026 results as it restructures its business. Total revenues were $478.6 million, down 7.7% from $518.3 million a year earlier, and net income attributable to common shareholders fell to $7.0 million, or $0.21 diluted EPS, from $9.0 million, or $0.27.
Sales declined as 2025 refranchising reduced Company-owned stores and North America comparable sales fell 6.4%, partly offset by 6.0% International system-wide growth. The company is executing an Enterprise Transformation Plan, closing 44 North America restaurants and reducing its corporate workforce by about 7%, with $4.3 million of Q1 restructuring costs and an expected $24–$31 million total through 2027. Management targets at least $30 million of G&A savings and at least $60 million of North America supply chain savings over two years while investing in new digital platforms, a long-term point-of-sale upgrade, and refranchising to support franchise-led growth.
Papa John’s International reported weaker first quarter 2026 results while reaffirming its full-year outlook. Total revenue was $478.6 million, down 7.7% from a year earlier, as softer North America performance and prior refranchising more than offset growth internationally.
Global system-wide restaurant sales were $1.20 billion, down 3% excluding currency, with North America comparable sales down 6.4% and International comparable sales up 3.6%. Net income fell to $6.9 million and diluted EPS declined to $0.21, while adjusted diluted EPS was $0.32. Adjusted EBITDA edged down to $47.8 million.
The company opened 28 new restaurants system-wide in the quarter and ended with 6,020 locations. Free cash flow turned to an outflow of $6.2 million, influenced by lower earnings and higher compensation payments. Management reiterated 2026 guidance, including adjusted EBITDA of $200 million to $210 million and capital expenditures of $70 million to $80 million.
