Texas Roadhouse

I originally wrote about TXRH 0.00%↑ in late January of this year. At that time, the stock was trading for about $180 per share, and since then the stock has risen a little more than 8%. Let’s take a look at the company’s most recent earnings report, as well as the current valuation and try to ascertain which way the company might be trending. One quick note, soon after I released the original Substack post on TXRH 0.00%↑ the company announced a dividend increase of 11.5%, from $0.61 per quarter to $0.68.

Q1 2025 Earnings

In early May, the company announced their Q1 2025 earnings with mixed results. GAAP EPS was $1.70 per share, coming up $0.06 short of analyst expectations, on revenue of $1.45B, which beat the consensus by $10M, and was a 9.6% YoY increase.

Revenue

  • Comparable restaurant sales rose 3.5% at company-owned locations.

  • Average weekly sales per company restaurant was $163,071, up 2.3% compared to same time period a year ago.

  • Of that $163K figure, approximately $22K were to-go sales, up about 7% from last year.

Additional Financial Measures

  • Restaurant margin dollars grew to $239.3M, a 4.7% increase thanks to higher revenue.

  • The operating margin shrank 0.77%, to 16.6%, as a result of commodity price increases of 2.1%, coupled with an increase in employee costs of 4.6%.

  • Diluted EPS increased 1.0% with share repurchases and higher margin dollars playing a big role, but was partially offset by higher depreciation and SG&A costs.

Capital Allocation/Other Metrics

  • The company opened 7 new Texas Roadhouse locations along with 1 Bubba’s 33 location (50th location).

  • TXRH 0.00%↑ spent $77.4M on capital expenditures during the quarter.

  • Acquired $78.3M worth of franchise locations.

  • Paid $45.2M in dividends and repurchased more than $50M in common stock.

2025 Outlook

  • Management implemented a 1.4% price increase in early April.

  • Commodity costs are expected to rise 4% this year.

  • Projected comparable restaurant sales growth.

  • Store week growth of around 5%.

  • Employee costs expected to rise between 4% and 5%.

Valuation

As always, the last piece of this puzzle is to determine if the company is currently trading for an attractive valuation. Looking back at the original write-up the stock was trading for an 18% premium to its fair value.
