Wingstop Inc. reported fiscal Q2 2026 growth in revenue and profit alongside weaker comparable-store trends. Total revenue rose 6.4% to $185.6 million, driven mainly by new franchise openings and higher advertising and company-owned restaurant sales. System-wide sales increased 5.3% to $1.41 billion, but domestic same store sales declined 7.5%, reflecting lower performance at existing U.S. restaurants.
Q2 net income grew 16.9% to $31.3 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, and Adjusted EBITDA rose 12.5% to $66.6 million, helped by lower bone-in chicken wing costs and disciplined SG&A. Year-to-date, revenue increased 6.9% to $369.3 million, while GAAP net income fell 48.6% to $61.2 million, largely reflecting a large non-recurring gain on the sale of the U.K. master franchisee recorded in 2025.
The restaurant base expanded to 3,255 system-wide locations, supported by 199 net new openings year-to-date. Wingstop ended Q2 with $157.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and $1.21 billion of securitized notes, with principal payments currently suspended while maintaining a leverage ratio below 5.0x. Capital returns included $16.4 million in dividends and repurchase of 374,324 shares for $78.5 million in the first half. Subsequent to quarter-end, the company agreed to acquire 13 restaurants for $32 million, to be funded with cash on hand.
Wingstop Inc. reported solid results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 27, 2026, with total revenue rising to $185.6 million, up 6.4% from a year earlier, and net income increasing 16.9% to $31.3 million, or $1.15 per diluted share. System‑wide sales reached $1.4 billion, up 5.3%, driven by 102 net new openings and 16% unit growth, while digital sales accounted for 71.6% of system‑wide sales.
Profitability improved, with Adjusted net income up 14.9% to $32.1 million and Adjusted EBITDA up 12.5% to $66.6 million, aided by lower company‑owned cost of sales as a percentage of sales and reduced SG&A, including lower stock‑based compensation and payroll. However, domestic same store sales declined 7.5%, reflecting lower transaction volumes amid consumer spending pressure.
For 2026, the company guides to a 4% to 6% decline in domestic same store sales, SG&A of $140–$143 million (including $3 million of restructuring charges), stock‑based compensation of about $24 million, depreciation and amortization of about $33 million, and reiterates a global unit growth rate of 15% to 16% and interest expense, net, of about $43 million. The board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.33 per share, or approximately $9.0 million, payable September 5, 2026, and appointed Jonathan Truppman as Chief Legal Officer and Secretary effective August 24, 2026.
