AI Summary
Q3 2025

Revenue Growth: GEN Restaurant Group reported Q3 revenue of $50.4 million, up 2.7% year-over-year, driven by new restaurant openings.

Same-Store Sales: Same-store sales declined by 9.9% in Q3, with management citing continued macroeconomic headwinds and lower customer traffic after global tariffs.

Profitability Pressure: The company posted a net loss before income taxes of $3.9 million ($0.11 per share) compared to a small profit last year, largely due to higher costs from new restaurant development.

Expansion & Guidance: GEN surpassed its original store opening plan, now expecting 17 new restaurants in 2025 (up from 12-13), and issued full-year revenue guidance of $220–225 million with EBITDA margins of 15–15.5%.

Grocery Initiative: GEN launched ready-to-cook Korean meats in over 600 grocery stores and sees potential for $100 million in annual grocery revenue within 4–5 years.

Cost Control: Labor efficiencies reduced payroll and benefits as a percentage of sales by nearly 200 basis points year-over-year, offsetting some inflationary pressures.

Future Growth: Management may slow new store development in 2026 if economic conditions remain challenging, and will focus on improving margins and operations.
