Jack in the Box Inc. reported its financial results for the quarter ending July 5, 2026, revealing a total revenue of $257.7 million, a decrease from $262.4 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The company's net earnings for the quarter were $20.1 million, or $1.04 per share, compared to $22.0 million, or $1.16 per share, in the prior year. Year-to-date, the company recorded revenues of $861.4 million, down from $899.2 million, with net earnings of $27.9 million, a significant recovery from a loss of $86.5 million in the same period last year.

The financial performance reflects a strategic shift following the sale of Del Taco, which was completed in December 2025. The results from Del Taco have been classified as discontinued operations, impacting year-over-year comparisons. The company’s restaurant sales increased slightly by 2.3% in the quarter, while franchise rental revenues and royalties saw declines of 4.6% and 3.4%, respectively, primarily due to lower average unit volumes (AUVs) and a decrease in the number of franchise restaurants.

Operationally, Jack in the Box operated 149 company-operated restaurants and 1,966 franchise-operated locations as of July 5, 2026. The company reported a decrease in same-store sales of 0.9% for the quarter and 3.0% year-to-date. The decline in customer transactions was attributed to ongoing economic pressures and increased competition in the quick-service restaurant sector. The company also noted a rise in food and packaging costs, which increased to 29.3% of sales in the quarter, driven by commodity inflation.

Looking ahead, Jack in the Box anticipates that cash flows from operations, combined with its financing facilities, will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future. The company has $71.8 million in cash and restricted cash, along with available borrowings of $54.6 million under its Variable Funding Notes. Despite the challenges faced, management remains focused on leveraging its operational efficiencies and strategic initiatives to drive growth and profitability in the coming quarters.
