Published on 05/06/2026 at 04:09 pm EDT
The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2026.
Highlights for the first quarter 2026 compared to the same quarter in 2025 are as follows:
“Our first quarter demonstrates strong continued momentum. We achieved positive comparable sales for the second quarter in a row at our flagship STK brand and saw substantial expansion in restaurant margins. STK’s 1.4% comparable sales growth and Benihana’s stable performance highlight the resilience of our distinctive Vibe Dining experience in a challenging consumer market. Our focused operational improvements – including food and beverage cost controls, menu refinement, integration synergies, and supply chain optimization – delivered a 100 basis point margin improvement overall. This is driven by impressive gains of 280 basis points at STK and 130 basis points at Benihana. With beef pricing secured through September 2026 and a strong operational foundation in place, we are confident in our ability to deliver on our full-year 2026 financial guidance,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.
“Our focus remains on strategic portfolio optimization and capital-efficient growth. In the first quarter, we generated $21.7 million in operating cash flow, reduced debt by $9.1 million, including eliminating our revolving facility balance entirely, and reduced capital expenditures by 23% year-over-year. We are on track to complete five Grill Concepts conversions by year-end, with our initial Scottsdale conversion achieving a 4x return on investment. Our asset-light expansion approach continues to gain traction, exemplified by our largest franchise agreement to date – our previously announced ten-unit deal for Benihana and Benihana Express restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area,” Hilario concluded.

(1) We have not reconciled guidance for Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Definitions
We have evolved our definition of non-GAAP financial measures starting in Q4 2025. We use certain non-GAAP measures in analyzing operating performance and believe that the presentation of these measures provides investors and analysts with information that is beneficial to gaining an understanding of the Company's financial results. Non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.
We exclude items management does not consider in the evaluation of its ongoing core operating performance from Adjusted EBITDA. Starting in Q4 2025, the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to closed Grill Concepts restaurants is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are included under “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures” in this press release.
* We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, lease termination and restaurant closure expenses, transition and integration expenses, transaction and exit costs, non-cash rent, non-cash impairment loss, non-recurring gains and losses, certain transactional and exit costs, loss on early debt extinguishment, and the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to the Grill Concepts restaurants closed. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA in this press release.
** Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, a non-GAAP financial measure, opened for at least a full 24-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions and new restaurant openings. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units in this press release.
*** We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this press release.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Restaurant EBITDA.
Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, lease termination and restaurant closure expenses, transition and integration expenses, transaction costs, non-cash rent, non-cash impairment loss, non-recurring gains and losses, certain transactional and exit costs, loss on early debt extinguishment and the Adjusted EBITDA attributable to Grill Concepts restaurants closed. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.
