Good Times Restaurants Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026

Second quarter revenue declined 3.1% year-over-year, but profitability improved with higher adjusted EBITDA and a return to net income. Cost controls, new value-focused promotions, and loyalty program growth supported results, while risks remain from inflation, supply chain, and competition.

Fiscal Year 2025
