Del Taco sale for $115M
Jack in the Box Inc. signed a deal on October 15, 2025, to sell its Del Taco subsidiary to Yadav Enterprises for $115 million in cash, subject to adjustments, with closure expected by January 2026. The move strengthens the balance sheet by repaying part of its Series 2019-1 4.476% Fixed Rate Senior Secured Notes, aligning with the 'Jack on Track' plan for a simpler, asset-light model. Yet risks loom if closing conditions fail. This divestiture sharpens focus on the core brand.

Rights plan amendment eases
Jack in the Box amended its Stockholder Protection Rights Agreement on September 8, 2025, exempting certain Passive Institutional Investors from the 'Acquiring Person' definition if they hold less than 20% of common stock. This tweak broadens the original July 1, 2025, poison pill's scope, easing ownership for qualifying passive holders while shielding against hostile takeovers. No financial impact disclosed. It signals board confidence in governance.

Q3 FY2025 results
Jack in the Box swung to an operating profit of $40.8M in Q3 FY2025 ended July 6, up sharply from a $102.2M loss a year earlier, while YTD operations posted a $42.1M loss versus $31.4M profit last year—both swings driven by $209.6M in Del Taco goodwill and trademark impairments, including $6.3M from acquiring 18 franchise units for $7.2M cash. Revenues dipped 9.9% y/y to $333.0M in the quarter (derived) and 6.8% YTD to $1.14B, reflecting 7.1% system same-store sales declines at Jack in the Box and 2.6% at Del Taco, yet franchise royalties held steady on refranchising momentum. Operating cash flow surged to $128.6M YTD, yielding $58.3M free cash flow after $70.3M capex, bolstering $38.0M cash against $1.71B debt and $96.5M revolver availability; no covenant breaches noted. Del Taco's fair value stays under pressure from sales trends and economic headwinds.

Q3 sales plunge, EPS swings positive
Jack in the Box reported Q3 fiscal 2025 results on August 6, with same-store sales dropping 7.1% for its namesake brand and 2.6% for Del Taco amid a tough macro environment, driving total revenues down 9.8% to $333.0 million. Diluted EPS hit $1.15, swinging from a prior-year loss, while operating EPS fell to $1.02 from $1.65; margins eroded due to lower sales, labor inflation, and higher utilities, yet refranchising bolstered franchise-level margins. Net restaurant counts declined 1.0% year-over-year. Sales are slipping fast.

Adopts anti-takeover rights plan
Jack in the Box's board adopted a limited-duration stockholder rights plan on July 1, 2025, issuing one right per common share to counter Biglari Capital Corp.'s 9.9% stake and its intent to accumulate more. The plan triggers if any entity hits 12.5% ownership, allowing other shareholders to buy stock at half price, diluting the acquirer while enabling fair takeover premiums. This shields the 'JACK on Track' strategy for long-term value. Yet, rights can be redeemed pre-trigger.
