BT BRANDS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
BT Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBD and BTBDW), today reported its financial results for the first quarter, the thirteen weeks ending March 30, 2025.
Including our 41.7% ownership of Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern with five locations (OTCMarkets: BDVB), BT Brands currently operates a total of fifteen restaurants comprising the following:
- Seven Burger Time fast-food restaurants, located in the North Central region of the United States, collectively (“BTND”);
- Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, Inc., a 41.7% owned affiliate, operates five Bagger Dave’s restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana (“Bagger Dave’s”);
- Keegan’s Seafood Grille in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida (“Keegan’s”);
- Pie In The Sky Coffee and Bakery in Woods Hole, Massachusetts (“PIE”).
- Schnitzel Haus restaurant, a fine-dining German-themed restaurant located in Hobe Sound, near Stuart, Florida
Highlights and recent activities include:
- Total revenues for the 2025 period increased 1.3% over 2024. The increase was achieved on two fewer operating locations from 2024;
- Operating loss for the quarter improved to a loss of $292,000 from an operating loss of $631,000 in 2024;
- Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the quarter was $329,900, or $.05 per share, an improvement of $.02 per share from the first quarter of 2024;
- Restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter improved significantly to $315,000 from a negative EBITDA of $15,672 in 2024. Our equity in the first quarter loss of our Bagger Dave’s affiliate was $131,400 compared to a loss of $94,500 in 2024;
- We ended the quarter with $3.8 million in total cash and short-term investments.
Gary Copperud, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The first quarter is typically slower for our Burger Time and Pie in the Sky businesses; that said, we were pleased to see improvement in our operating performance during the first quarter of 2025 reflecting a number of steps to reduce costs and improve performance in all of our businesses including our decision to close two underperforming locations. As we look forward to the balance of 2025, we are focused on continuing our efforts to improve restaurant profitability. Kenneth Brimmer, CFO, added that while we are not giving specific earnings guidance for the year, our current plan shows a return to overall profitability for fiscal 2025.
Fiscal 2025 Outlook: Because of the uncertain nature of restaurant performance and the evolving character of our Company and because of continuing uncertainty surrounding the overall economy as consumers have become more price sensitive, impacts of supply chain constraints, and inflationary pressures relating to many aspects of our business, the Company is not at this point, providing a financial forecast for fiscal 2025.
