Q3 revenue edges up
El Pollo Loco reported Q3 2025 revenue of $121.5 million, up slightly from $120.4 million last year, while system-wide comparable sales dipped 0.8% amid a 1.3% drop in average check, offset by modest traffic gains from value promotions. Operating income climbed to $11.5 million from $10.1 million, fueled by restaurant contribution margin expansion to 18.3% via efficiencies and pricing, lifting net income to $7.4 million or $0.25 per share. Milestones hit: 500th restaurant opened. Outlook targets at least 10 new units in 2025, but inflationary pressures loom large.

Q2 FY2025 results
El Pollo Loco posted solid Q2 FY2025 results, with total revenue climbing 3.0% year-over-year to $125.8M, driven by a 2.0% rise in company-operated restaurant sales to $104.3M and franchise revenue jumping 14.8% to $13.4M from POS system rollouts. Operating income dipped 8.2% to $11.3M amid higher G&A and franchise costs, yet net income held at $7.1M with diluted EPS steady at $0.24; year-to-date, revenue grew 2.8% to $245.0M while EPS edged down to $0.43 (derived). Cash swelled to $9.0M, bolstered by $18.9M in operating cash flow, and revolver debt trimmed to $69.0M with $70.7M availability under the 2027 maturity. Free cash flow came in at $10.4M (derived). Franchisees added three net units, pushing the system to 499 locations. Still, California's fast food wage hikes keep labor pressures simmering.
