Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-Q filed Nov 5, 2026
- As we continue to evolve our strategic priorities, certain actions previously undertaken as part of the Company’s former initiative, Project Fresh , have been incorporated into the broader strategy built on the Company’s foundation of delivering high-quality food, compelling value and a differentiated customer experience.
- Based on current levels of operations, the Company expects that available cash and cash flows from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet operating cash requirements for the next 12 months.
- However, there can be no assurance that additional liquidity will be readily available or available on terms acceptable to us.
- As a result, the Company expects that its total cash requirement for the fourth quarter of 2026 will be approximately $13.4 million based on the number of shares of its common stock outstanding at October 29, 2026.
- The Company currently intends to continue to declare and pay quarterly cash dividends; however, there can be no assurance that any additional quarterly dividends will be declared or paid or of the amount or timing of such dividends, if any.
- Inflationary pressures on labor and commodity price increases directly impacted our consolidated results of operations during the nine months ended September 27, 2026, and we anticipate continued labor and commodity inflation throughout the remainder of 2026.
