Red Robin — Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Summary

Comparable restaurant revenue increased 3.9% for the twelve weeks ended October 4, 2026, driven by a 5.6% rise in average guest check offsetting a 1.7% decline in traffic; year-to-date revenue for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2026, rose 1.5%.
The company completed refranchising 108 company-owned restaurants for approximately $89.4 million in cash proceeds, which were applied to reduce debt and support the refinancing of a new five-year, $115 million secured credit facility established on October 2, 2026.
The Form 10-Q filing was delayed via Form NT 10-Q due to accounting complexities surrounding refranchising and refinancing; updated guidance and a full earnings call are rescheduled for November 18, 2026.
Management expressed confidence in the "First Choice" strategy and the "Big Yummm" value platform, noting same-store sales outperformance relative to the industry and a strengthened financial foundation.
