Texas Roadhouse CTO Mujica Hernan E. Sells 2189 Shares at $172.4

Texas Roadhouse, Inc. has announced that Chief Technology Officer Mujica Hernan E. has executed a transaction involving the sale of 2189 shares at a price of $172.4 per share on August 21, 2025.

On August 21, 2025, Texas Roadhouse, Inc. reported that Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Mujica Hernan E. sold 2189 shares at a price of $172.4 per share [1]. The transaction occurred amidst a period of significant financial activity for Texas Roadhouse and its parent company, The Marzetti Company.

In its latest earnings call, The Marzetti Company reported record fourth-quarter net sales of $475.4 million, up 5% from the previous quarter [2]. This growth was driven by increased sales in both licensing and core brands, with notable contributions from the Texas Roadhouse dinner rolls and Chick-fil-A sauce. The company's gross profit also increased by 8.7%, reaching $106.1 million.

The retail segment saw net sales grow by 3.1%, reaching $241.6 million, with strong performance from both licensing and owned brands. The frozen dinner roll category, particularly Sister Schubert's and licensed Texas Roadhouse brands, grew by 52.4%, leading to a 690 basis point market share gain to 63.8%. The New York Bakery brand's frozen garlic bread sales also rose by 10%, boosting market share by 260 basis points to 43.3%.

Despite the positive earnings, The Marzetti Company faced higher selling, general, and administrative expenses (SG&A), which increased by $8.9 million, or 16.7%, primarily due to higher marketing, personnel, and integration expenses. Restructuring and impairment charges totaled $5.1 million, including $4.5 million related to the planned Milpitas, California facility closure.

The company's balance sheet remained debt-free, with $161.5 million in cash at the end of the period. The Marzetti Company anticipates low single-digit revenue growth and mid-single-digit bottom-line growth for fiscal 2026, driven by retail volume and gross margin expansion [2].
