Shake Shack on Monday reported quarterly earnings and revenue that beat analysts' expectations, but the company disappointed investors with a weaker outlook for same-store sales growth.
Shares of the company whipsawed after the market's close, first rising nearly 4 percent before dropping more than 2 percent.
Here's what the company reported compared with what Wall Street was expecting, based on a survey of analysts by Refinitiv:
- Earnings per share: 6 cents, adjusted, vs. 3 cents expected
- Revenue: $124.3 million vs. $118.8 million expected
During the fiscal fourth quarter, Shake Shack narrowed its net loss to $548,000, or 3 cents a share, from a net loss of $11.03 million, or 47 cents a share. On an adjusted basis, the company's pro forma earnings were 6 cents per share, topping the 3 cents per share expected by analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.
Net sales rose 29.3 percent to $124.3 million, beating expectations of $118.8 million. Same-store sales grew by 2.3 percent during the quarter, driven by a 2.6 percent price increase. Wall Street was expecting a decline of 1.2 percent.
For 2019, the company is forecasting same-store sales that are flat to up 1 percent. That outlook reflects the impact of the 1.5 percent in price increases that the company put in place in December.
Shake Shack's projected revenue for this year is between $570 million and $576 million. Analysts were expecting the company to see $576 million in sales in 2019.
