Shake Shack Inc. reported fiscal first quarter 2026 results showing strong sales growth but slimmer profitability. Total revenue rose 14.3% year-over-year to $366.7 million, driven by $354.0 million of Shack sales and $12.7 million of licensing revenue. System-wide sales reached $558.3 million, up 14.1%, while Same-Shack sales grew 4.6% with traffic up 1.4%, marking a third consecutive quarter of positive traffic.
Restaurant-level profit increased to $75.1 million and margin expanded 50 basis points to 21.2% of Shack sales, reflecting labor efficiencies and supply chain gains despite higher beef costs. However, the company swung to an operating loss of $2.6 million and a net loss of $0.3 million, compared with net income of $4.5 million a year earlier, as general and administrative expenses, pre-opening costs, and other operating expenses rose.
Adjusted EBITDA declined 9.3% to $37.0 million, or 10.1% of total revenue, reflecting higher investments in technology, marketing, and new unit growth. Shake Shack opened 17 new Company-operated Shacks and 5 licensed Shacks in the quarter, ending with 679 system-wide locations, and raised full-year guidance to 60–65 new Company-operated openings and 40–45 licensed openings for 2026.
