Jack in the Box same-store sales of (7.1%); Del Taco same-store sales of (2.6%)
Diluted earnings per share of $1.15 and Operating EPS of $1.02

SAN DIEGO, Calif. August 6, 2025 – Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) announced financial results for the Jack in the Box and Del Taco brands in the third quarter ended July 6, 2025.     “While the macro environment remains challenging, Jack in the Box is poised to improve performance in the fourth quarter and into the next fiscal year by prioritizing area of immediate impact. By leveraging innovation, offering craveable value and re-focusing on improving the overall guest experience, I'm confident in our ability to quickly regain momentum in the business,” said Lance Tucker, Jack in the Box Chief Executive Officer.
“I am pleased with our progress against the “JACK on Track” plan thus far and remain committed to simplifying our business model to drive shareholder value and support sustainable long-term growth.”

Jack in the Box Performance
Same-store sales decreased 7.1% in the third quarter, comprised of franchise same-store sales decline of 7.2% and company-owned same-store sales decline of 6.4%. Sales performance resulted from a decline in transactions and mix, partially offset by an increase in price. Systemwide sales for the third quarter decreased 7.2%.
Restaurant-Level Margin(1), a non-GAAP measure, was $16.9 million, or 17.9%, down from $21.1 million, or 21.0%, a year ago driven primarily by lower sales, higher labor, commodity inflation and higher utility and other operating costs, partially offset by decreases due to favorable beverage funding contract, as well as increased price.
Franchise-Level Margin(1), a non-GAAP measure, was $66.2 million, or 39.3%, a decrease from $74.6 million, or 41.1%, a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales driving lower rent revenue and royalties, partially offset by franchise lease buyouts.

Del Taco Performance
Same-store sales decreased 2.6% in the third quarter, comprised of franchise same-store sales decline of 2.7% and company-operated same-store sales decline of 2.2%. Sales performance resulted from a decline in transactions and mix, partially offset by an increase in price. Systemwide sales for the fiscal third quarter decreased 4.7%.
Restaurant-Level Margin(1), a non-GAAP measure, was $4.5 million, or 9.7%, down from $8.8 million, or 13.4%, a year ago. The decrease in dollars was due primarily to refranchising and closing restaurants. The margin percentage decline was driven primarily by lower sales and higher costs including higher utilities and operating costs, labor, and commodity inflation.
Franchise-Level Margin(1), a non-GAAP measure, was $6.4 million, or 27.0%, compared to $5.8 million, or 27.1%, a year ago. The increase was driven by the benefit of refranchising, early termination fees and lower IT costs, partially offset by the impact from lower sales and an increase in bad debt expense.

Company-Wide Performance
Third quarter diluted earnings per share was $1.15. Operating Earnings Per Share(2), a non-GAAP measure, was $1.02 in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $1.65 in the prior year quarter.
Total revenues decreased 9.8% to $333.0 million, compared to $369.2 million in the prior year quarter. The lower revenue is primarily the result of lower sales for both brands and Del Taco refranchising. Net earnings was $22.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2025. This compared with net loss of $122.3 million for the third quarter of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA(3), a non-GAAP measure, was $61.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 compared with $78.9 million for the prior year quarter.
During the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024, the Company had recognized goodwill and intangible impairment of $6.3 million and $162.6 million, respectively, relating to the Del Taco reporting unit. This is a non-cash charge and does not impact future operations.
Company-wide SG&A expense for the third quarter was $26.8 million, a decrease of $2.7 million compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to the fluctuations in the cash surrender value of our company-owned life insurance policies and a decrease in incentive-based

compensation, partially offset by an increase in insurance. When excluding net COLI gains, G&A was 2.2% of systemwide sales.
The income tax provision reflects an effective tax rate of negative 2.4% in the third quarter of 2025. This was due to an income tax benefit recorded in the quarter as a result of a more favorable annual effective tax rate compared to the prior quarter primarily driven by non-taxable gains from the market performance of insurance products used to fund certain non-qualified retirement plans as opposed to non-deductible losses as recorded in the prior quarter. The non-GAAP operating EPS tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was 26.1%.
(1) Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to earnings (loss) from operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, in the attachment to this release. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."
(2) Operating Earnings Per Share represents the diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, excluding certain adjustments. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results." Operating earnings per share may not add due to rounding.
(3) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding certain adjustments. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."

We believe franchised and systemwide restaurant sales information is useful to investors as they have a direct effect on the company's profitability.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS TO GAAP RESULTS
(Unaudited)

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted Net Income, Operating Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin. Management believes that these measurements, when viewed with the Company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations in the tables below, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period changes, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of the Company's core business without regard to potential distortions.

Operating Earnings Per Share
Operating Earnings Per Share represents diluted earnings (loss) per share on a GAAP basis excluding integration and strategic initiatives, net COLI gains, pension and post-retirement benefit costs, goodwill and intangible impairment, losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, excess tax shortfall from share-based compensation arrangements, and the tax-related impacts of the above adjustments.
Operating Earnings Per Share should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Operating Earnings Per Share provides investors with a meaningful supplement of the Company’s operating performance and period-over-period changes without regard to potential distortions.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings (loss) on a GAAP basis excluding income taxes, interest expense, net, losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, other operating expenses, net, goodwill and intangible impairment, depreciation and amortization, amortization of cloud computing costs, amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net, amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and other, net COLI gains, and pension and post-retirement benefit costs.
Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the Company's ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.

Restaurant-Level Margin
Restaurant-Level Margin is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs (food and packaging, labor, and occupancy costs) and is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-Level Margin excludes revenues and expenses of our franchise operations and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Certain other costs are also excluded, such as depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs, goodwill and intangible impairment, other operating expenses, net, and losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants. As such, Restaurant-Level Margin is not indicative of the overall results of the Company and does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders because of the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-Level Margin should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company is presenting Restaurant-Level Margin because it believes that it provides a meaningful supplement to net earnings of the company's core business operating results, as well as a comparison to those of other similar companies. Management utilizes Restaurant-Level Margin as a key performance indicator to evaluate the profitability of company-operated restaurants.
