CBRL: DEF 14A · proxy statement
Cracker Barrel filed its DEF 14A for the virtual Annual Meeting on November 19, 2026, with a record date of September 28, 2026 and 22,352,430 shares outstanding. Shareholders will vote on nine director nominees, a say-on-pay advisory vote, ratification of Deloitte & Touche as auditor, and a shareholder proposal from The Accountability Board requiring shareholder approval before issuing blank-check preferred stock, which the Board opposes.
The proxy discloses a completed CEO transition: Julie Masino stepped down August 10, 2026 under a transition agreement providing 2x salary-plus-bonus severance and equity acceleration, replaced by David Deno, former Bloomin' Brands CEO.
The filing reveals the fiscal 2026 bonus plan was delayed due to public backlash over the logo change and remodels plus a Biglari proxy contest; the Company certified $196 million of adjusted EBITDA (~80.15% of target), and the 2024 LTPP awards paid out only 26.6% of target after three-year TSR of -33.3% triggered a 25% reduction.

CBRL: 10-K · periodic report
Cracker Barrel's fiscal 2026 10-K shows total revenue of $3,318.7 million, down 4.7% year over year, with an operating loss of $12.5 million versus $55.0 million operating income in fiscal 2025.
The company attributes the traffic decline (-7.6% comparable) to negative publicity from brand initiatives, including a new logo and modern test store remodels that it reversed during the first quarter of 2026.
Cracker Barrel exited the Maple Street Biscuit Company business, selling 35 locations and closing the remaining 16 on July 20, 2026, recording a $27.0 million loss plus $8.5 million in impairments and $5.4 million in exit costs.
David Deno, former Bloomin' Brands CEO, became President and CEO on August 10, 2026, replacing Julie Masino; the company also booked a $47.4 million gain on a 26-property sale-leaseback and $47.4 million in interchange-fee litigation settlement income.

CRACKER BARREL ANNOUNCES STRATEGIC ACTIONS
Cracker Barrel completed a sale-leaseback of 26 store locations, generating approximately $77 million in net proceeds to reduce debt, and sold the assets of its Maple Street Biscuit Company subsidiary to Biscuit Belly, LLC.
The divestiture of Maple Street is expected to result in $37 million to $39 million in non-cash charges but will allow the company to sharpen its focus on its core brand, with expected adjusted EBITDA accretion in fiscal 2027.
As a result of these strategic initiatives, the company raised its fiscal 2026 outlook, expecting to achieve the high end of its revenue range of $3.27 billion to $3.30 billion and exceed its adjusted EBITDA outlook of $120 million to $125 million.

CBRL: 10-Q · periodic report
Cracker Barrel reported a 5.6% decline in total revenue to $2.47 billion for the nine months ended May 1, 2026, with comparable store sales falling 5.3% and restaurant guest traffic dropping 8.1%. The company recorded an operating loss of $25.6 million for the period, a significant reversal from the $51 million operating income generated in the prior year, driven by brand missteps and macroeconomic pressures.
Despite the operational weakness, third-quarter net income jumped to $42.8 million from $12.6 million in the prior year, entirely due to a one-time $47.4 million litigation settlement income related to interchange fees. Excluding this non-recurring benefit, underlying profitability deteriorated due to wage and commodity inflation, lower productivity, and reduced consumer demand.
Liquidity management is a critical focus as the company faces an imminent $150 million debt maturity for its 2026 Notes due on June 15, 2026. Cracker Barrel ended the quarter with $26.1 million in cash and $541.3 million in borrowing availability under its credit facility, which it plans to utilize for the debt repayment and ongoing capital expenditures.
