“We are excited to report the fifth consecutive fiscal year of both buffet store count and same store sales growth at Pizza Inn” said Brandon Solano, Chief Executive Officer of RAVE Restaurant Group, Inc.
Solano added, “Fiscal 2027 is an important year for Pizza Inn. After five consecutive years of modest store growth, Pizza Inn is aiming for more significant growth this fiscal year. We opened one restaurant in August and have more on the way. Pizza Inn recently signed a 10-buffet development agreement with a multi-brand operator who has experience in the pizza industry but is new to Pizza Inn. The first five of those restaurants are anticipated to be opened in fiscal year 2027.”
“In addition, we are excited to once again partner this year with Dr. Pepper and the Southeastern Conference to promote our Pepp Rally pizza and give guests the chance to win tickets to the SEC championship game this fall. And we have awesome new products set to roll out with increased media support starting in December.”
Chief Financial Officer Jay Rooney added, “We are pleased with fiscal year 2026 top and bottom-line results. Pre-tax profit of $3.9 million is the highest level of pre-tax profitability Rave has seen in the past twenty-three years. Operating Income of $3.5 million represents a nearly 17% compound annual growth rate over the past five years. The team at Rave has done a fantastic job of flowing through revenue to net income.”

Additional details are provided under Item 3. Legal Proceeding in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed September 24, 2026.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the Company also presents and discusses certain non-GAAP financial measures that it believes are useful to investors as measures of operating performance. Management may also use such non-GAAP financial measures in evaluating the effectiveness of business strategies and for planning and budgeting purposes. However, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The Company considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be important supplemental measures of operating performance that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other parties interested in our industry. The Company believes that EBITDA is helpful to investors in evaluating its results of operations without the impact of expenses affected by financing methods, accounting methods and the tax environment. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors by excluding non-operational or non-recurring expenses to provide a measure of operating performance that is more comparable from period to period. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures for evaluating operating performance, assessing the effectiveness of business strategies, projecting future capital needs, budgeting and other planning purposes.
