CAVA Group, Inc. reported significant financial growth in its latest 10-Q filing for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 12, 2026. The company achieved total revenue of $368.4 million for the quarter, a 31.3% increase from $280.6 million in the same period last year. For the twenty-eight weeks, revenue reached $806.7 million, up 31.7% from $612.4 million. Net income for the quarter was $23.0 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to $18.4 million, or $0.16 per share, in the prior year. The twenty-eight week net income also saw a modest increase to $46.6 million from $44.1 million.

The company’s operational metrics reflected a strong performance, with a same-restaurant sales increase of 9.0% for the quarter, driven by a combination of higher guest traffic and menu price adjustments. CAVA's restaurant-level profit margin was 25.7%, slightly down from 26.3% a year earlier, while total restaurant operating expenses rose significantly due to increased costs associated with new restaurant openings and higher input prices. CAVA opened 17 new restaurants during the quarter, bringing the total to 476 locations across 29 states and Washington, D.C.

CAVA Group also made strategic investments, including a $5 million additional investment in a convertible promissory note for Hyphen Technologies, aimed at enhancing food production efficiency. The company’s cash and cash equivalents increased to $322.8 million as of July 12, 2026, up from $282.9 million at the end of the previous fiscal year. This increase was attributed to improved cash flows from operations, which totaled $134.5 million for the twenty-eight weeks, a 36% increase from the prior year.

The filing noted that CAVA's general and administrative expenses rose due to investments in growth and higher equity-based compensation, although these costs decreased as a percentage of revenue due to sales leverage. The company also reported a decrease in interest income, reflecting lower rates on investments. Looking ahead, CAVA Group expressed optimism about its growth trajectory, supported by its expansion plans and the ongoing popularity of its Mediterranean cuisine offerings, despite potential challenges from market conditions and consumer trends.
