THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY REPORTS RESULTS FOR
FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2025
CALABASAS HILLS, Calif. – February 18, 2026 – The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ: CAKE) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, which ended on December 30, 2025.
Total revenues were $961.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to $921.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Fourth quarter fiscal 2025 includes $17.3 million of gift card breakage revenue as a result of a change in historical redemption patterns. Net income and diluted net income per share were $28.8 million and $0.60, respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
The Company recorded a pre-tax net expense of $24.6 million related to impairment of assets and lease termination expenses, Fox Restaurant Concepts (“FRC”) acquisition-related items, gift card breakage and gift card inventory adjustments. Excluding the after-tax impact of these and certain other items, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 were $48.3 million and $1.00, respectively. Please see the Company’s reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.
Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants declined 2.2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.
“We delivered solid fourth quarter and full-year results in 2025, generating record annual revenue supported by 25 new restaurant openings for the year,” said David Overton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Despite a more challenging operating environment across the restaurant industry, including weather-related impacts, revenue for the quarter finished within our expected range. Margins and adjusted diluted net income per share finished toward the higher end of our expectations, reflecting the resilience of our business and strong operational execution. Our operators remained focused on the factors within their control, delivering year-over-year improvements in labor productivity, wage management, hourly staff and manager retention, and guest satisfaction.”
“During the fourth quarter, we opened seven new restaurants and delivered approximately 7% unit growth for the year. Looking ahead, we expect to open as many as 26 restaurants this year, and with a strong pipeline in place we remain confident in our ability to achieve our development goal.”
“Underscoring our confidence in the strength and consistency of the business, we also announced an increase of 5.0 million shares to our repurchase authorization and raised our quarterly dividend to $0.30 per share. While the operating environment remains competitive, our strong operational execution, continued menu innovation, and portfolio of high-quality concepts differentiate our business and position us well for long-term growth and shareholder value creation.”

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present net income and net income per share excluding the impact of certain items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by eliminating from net income and diluted net income per share the impact of items the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operations. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.
