GENK--
The company's total restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 91.7% in Q2 2025, up from 87.6% in Q2 2024. This increase was primarily driven by higher costs related to new restaurant development, including pre-opening costs and increased occupancy expense for the ten additional stores opened during the second quarter [1]. General and administrative expenses also increased to $6.4 million, or 11.6% of revenue, up from $5.1 million, or 9.4% of revenue in the prior year period [1].
GEN Restaurant Group's adjusted net income was $1.2 million for Q2 2025, equating to $0.04 per diluted share of Class A common stock. The company's cash and cash equivalents stood at $9.6 million as of June 30, 2025, with no material long-term debt and access to $20.0 million in total available liquidity [1]. The company's development pipeline remains robust, with 7 additional restaurants under development expected to complete construction by the end of 2025 [1].
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David Kim expressed confidence in the company's ability to drive sustained, profitable growth in 2025 and beyond, citing strong cash flow, growing brand awareness, and disciplined execution [1].
