Shortcut’s reasoning.
Revenue $191.4M (consensus $193.15M): system sales +7.0% y/y = domestic SSS -5.0% (FY guide -4% to -6%; sell-side -5% to -6%, prediction-market median -4.7%) plus ~12pp unit contribution from ~15% average unit growth; 13 acquired company restaurants add ~$2.8M.
The consensus panel over-estimated revenue in 4 of 6 quarters while EPS beat 6 of 6 by $0.13-$0.17: margin, not demand, is under-modelled. We keep revenue below consensus but EPS above.
Cost run-rates beat issuer guidance in every FY2025 line (SG&A $128.4M vs $131-132M guide; interest $35.8M vs ~$37.5M; D&A $25.1M vs ~$26M). 3Q26E uses SG&A $35.2M (incl. SBC $7.0M) and net interest $10.1M, not the guide-implied ~$38M and ~$11.7M.
