Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The earnings call reflected a strong performance by Chili's, with significant growth in sales and traffic driven by effective value positioning and menu innovations. However, challenges remain with Maggiano's performance and rising commodity costs, which could impact future margins.
Company Guidance
During the Brinker International Earnings Call for Q1 of Fiscal Year 2026, the company reported a strong performance driven by Chili's, which saw same-store sales increase by 21.4%, outperforming the casual dining industry by 1,650 basis points. This was attributed to a 13% rise in traffic and marks the 18th consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales growth for Chili's. The quarter's total revenues were $1.35 billion, a year-over-year increase of 18.5%, with an adjusted diluted EPS of $1.93, up from $0.95. Restaurant operating margin improved by 270 basis points to 16.2% due to sales leverage, despite unfavorable food and beverage costs. The company also highlighted successful initiatives such as the ribs upgrade, which increased sales by 35% and profitability by 29%, and the frozen Patrón Margaritas platform, which doubled its sales despite a higher price point. Looking forward, Brinker expects mid-single-digit same-store sales growth for the remainder of the fiscal year, with Q2 off to a strong start. However, Maggiano's reported a 6.4% decline in comp sales, prompting a new turnaround strategy focused on classic recipes and improved service. The company reiterated its fiscal 2026 guidance, adjusting for anticipated higher commodity tariffs and inflation-related costs.
