Insights

Nathan's Famous delivered solid financial performance in Q2 FY2025, with notable improvements across key metrics. Revenues increased by 6.1% to $41.1M, while net income grew by 5.6% to $6.03M. The company's licensing business shows particular strength, with royalties from Smithfield Foods up 13% to $20.6M.

The Branded Product Program demonstrated resilience despite cost pressures, with sales up 4.5% to $50.7M. However, higher beef costs impacted profitability, highlighting potential margin pressures. The consistent $0.50 quarterly dividend signals management's confidence in sustained cash flow generation.

Key concerns include the slight decline in franchise restaurant sales and royalties, though this is partially offset by 21 new franchise openings. The company's ability to pass through cost increases while maintaining volume growth suggests strong pricing power in their core markets.

Certain Non-GAAP Financial Information:

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("US GAAP"), the Company is disclosing EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as net income, excluding (i) interest expense; (ii) provision for income taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization expense. The Company is also disclosing Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure which is defined as EBITDA, excluding (i) the loss on debt extinguishment and (ii) share-based compensation that the Company believes will impact the comparability of its results of operations.

The Company believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors to assist in assessing and understanding the Company's operating performance and underlying trends in the Company's business because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are (i) among the measures used by management in evaluating performance and (ii) are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties as a common performance measure.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under US GAAP and should not be viewed as alternatives to net income or other measures of financial performance or liquidity in conformity with US GAAP.
