RED ROBIN ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY THIRD QUARTER COMPARABLE RESTAURANT REVENUE; RESCHEDULES EARNINGS CALL TO NOVEMBER 18, 2026
Red Robin will delay its fiscal Q3 10-Q via a Form NT 10-Q and rescheduled its earnings release and call from November 4 to November 18, citing the accounting complexity of completed refranchising and debt refinancing transactions.
Preliminary Q3 comparable restaurant revenue rose 3.9% in the twelve weeks ended October 4, driven by a 5.6% increase in average check, though guest traffic declined 1.7%; the company says same-store sales outperformed the industry.
During the quarter the company refranchised 108 company-owned restaurants for approximately $89.4 million in cash proceeds and refinanced its secured credit facility with a five-year $115 million agreement priced at SOFR plus 275-350 basis points.
Management characterized the filing delay as unrelated to any significant changes in financial condition or results of operations, and expects to file the 10-Q within the five-day Rule 12b-25 extension period.

Pricing is SOFR plus 275-350 basis points depending on leverage (initially SOFR + 325 bps, no SOFR floor), with a $20 million accordion. JPMorgan led the facility, and management said the stronger balance sheet gives it a longer runway to execute the First Choice Plan.
