Red Robin Gears Up for Q1 Earnings: Key Factors to Note
Read MoreHide Full Article
Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (RRGB - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2025 results on May 29, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 74.1%.
Q1 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 57 cents per share. In the prior-year quarter, RRGB reported adjusted loss per share of 80 cents. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $387.4 million, indicating a decline of 0.3% year over year. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)
Factors at Play Ahead of RRGB’s Q1 Results
Red Robin's fiscal first-quarter results are likely to be hurt by pressures from the uncertain macroeconomic environment and high expenses. Moreover, the company has been investing heavily in several sales-building initiatives like advertising and technical upgrades, which might result in elevated costs. Remodeling, restaurant maintenance and staffing costs are expected to have also contributed to rising expenses. Moreover, dismal traffic remains a concern for the company.
On the other hand, the company’s emphasis on loyalty programs and strategic initiatives to drive growth is likely to have aided its performance. Also, the focus on menu innovation and digital initiatives bodes well.
Red Robin has made strategic investments over the past two years to enhance food quality and hospitality, leading to sustained improvements in guest satisfaction. The introduction of flat-top grills and the upgrade of more than 85% of the menu have elevated the gourmet burger experience, while the addition of new team members has strengthened service quality. These efforts have been reflected in consistently strong satisfaction scores, indicating positive guest reception.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, our model predicts restaurant revenues to decrease 1.7% year over year to $372.2 million. We expect same-store sales to increase 3.7% year over year.
