Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- During the first three quarters of fiscal 2026, capital expenditures decreased by $52.2 million when compared to the first three quarters of fiscal 2025, and we expect to continue to reduce capital investment in fiscal 2026 compared to fiscal 2025.
- In the first three quarters of fiscal 2026, 98 shops have been opened, nearly all franchised, and we remain on track to open at least 100 new shops in 2026.
- In evaluating these non-GAAP measures, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation, such as share-based compensation.
- Our presentation of these non-GAAP measures should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments.
- We expect to increase the number of quality Spokes through growth with fresh delivery customers across the U.S. coupled with a continued focus on identifying and addressing underperforming fresh delivery doors.
- Our assessment of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations could vary because of, and our future capital requirements will depend on, many factors, including our growth rate, the growth of our presence in new markets, and the expansion of our omni-channel model in existing markets.
- We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect.
- As part of our turnaround plan, we expect to reduce capital investment by using existing assets and focusing on franchise development.
