Diluted EPS came in at $1.28, falling 15.79% short of the $1.52 consensus estimate and declining 26.1% year-over-year, while revenue of $1.48 billion grew just 3.1% annually and edged slightly below the $1.49 billion Wall Street had expected. The most material drag was structural: Q4 2025 contained only 13 weeks versus 14 in the prior-year period, accounting for roughly 12 percentage points of the EPS decline, while commodity inflation of 9.5% and wage inflation of 2.9% compressed restaurant margin by 309 basis points to 13.9%, sending restaurant margin dollars down 15.6% to $204.81 million. Investors monitoring the company's ability to balance expansion with profitability will note that comparable restaurant sales still rose a healthy 4.2% in the quarter. Management offered an encouraging forward view, citing 8.2% comparable sales growth in the first seven weeks of Q1 2026, a planned April menu price increase of roughly 1.9%, and an increased quarterly dividend of $0.75 per share.

Key Takeaways

  • Comparable restaurant sales increased 4.2% at company restaurants in Q4
  • Traffic growth driven by dedicated operators
  • Average weekly sales increased to $160,021 from $153,867 in prior year
  • To-go sales increased to $22,099 per week from $20,067
  • 9.5% commodity inflation and 2.9% wage inflation pressured restaurant margins
  • Restaurant margin as a percentage of sales decreased 309 basis points to 13.9%
  • Extra week in prior year Q4 negatively impacted EPS growth by approximately 12%

TXRH Forward Guidance & Outlook

Comparable restaurant sales for the first seven weeks of Q1 2026 increased 8.2%. A menu price increase of approximately 1.9% is planned for early April 2026. Management expects positive comparable restaurant sales growth including menu pricing actions, store week growth of 5%-6% including franchise acquisitions, commodity inflation of approximately 7%, wage and other labor inflation of 3%-4%, an effective income tax rate of 14%-15%, and total capital expenditures of approximately $400 million. The company also completed acquisitions of five domestic franchise restaurants for approximately $72 million on the first day of fiscal 2026.
