Red Robin (RRGB) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. RRGB is scheduled to report first-quarter fiscal 2023 results on May 24, after the closing bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 104.6%.

Q1 Estimates

The Zacks Consensus Estimate is pegged at a loss of 62 cents per share. In the prior-year quarter, RRGB reported a loss per share of 12 cents. The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $405.2 million, suggesting growth of 2.5% year over year.

Factors at Play

Red Robin's fiscal first-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from robust off-premise sales, menu innovation and robust loyalty program. The  top line is likely to have gained from robust restaurant revenues. Our models predicts restaurant revenues during first-quarter 2023 to increase 2.6% year over year to $390.6 million.

RRGB is likely to have gained from increased focus on Donatos' menu expansion. It anticipates approximately 25 Donatos installations in fiscal 2023.

On the flip side, higher costs are likely to have weighed on the company’s bottom line. Red Robin has been witnessing rising costs and expenses in the recent quarters.

It has been investing heavily in several sales building initiatives like advertising and technical upgrades, which might have resulted in elevated costs. In first-quarter 2023, our model estimates total costs and expenses to increase 3.7% year over year to $405.6 million.
