Insights
Revenue grew solidly, but margins and earnings weakened even as the dividend increased.
Texas Roadhouse delivered 9.4% full-year revenue growth to $5,878,075,000, helped by higher restaurant and other sales. However, restaurant operating costs rose faster, with food and beverage, labor, rent and other operating expenses pressuring profitability.
Income from operations declined 8.1% for the year to $474,740,000, and net income fell 6.5% to $405,554,000. Quarterly restaurant margin percentage dropped from 17.0% to 13.9%, reflecting higher cost intensity despite comparable sales growth.
The board’s approval of a higher quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share, following cash dividends of $2.72 per share in 2025, signals a continued commitment to returning cash even as earnings face cost headwinds. Future filings may clarify whether margin pressure eases as the expanded restaurant base matures.
