"I want to make sure that as we continue to scale Chipotle, everything we do is in service of our guests or those who serve our guests which will enable us to achieve our long-term ambitious goals of reaching 7,000 restaurants in North America, growing our AUVs beyond $4 million, expanding margins and making progress toward becoming a global iconic brand."
1Restaurant level operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, adjusted depreciation and amortization, and non-GAAP effective income tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to GAAP measures and further information are set forth in the table at the end of this press release.
2Prior period results have been retroactively adjusted for the 50-for-1 stock split in June 2024.
Results for the three months ended December 31, 2024:
Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $2.8 billion, an increase of 13.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase in total revenue was driven by new restaurant openings and a 5.4% increase in comparable restaurant sales due to higher transactions of 4.0% and a 1.4% increase in average check. Digital sales represented 34.4% of total food and beverage revenue.
During the fourth quarter we opened 119 company-owned restaurants, of which 95 included a Chipotlane, and one international licensed restaurant. Chipotlanes continue to perform well and are helping enhance guest access and convenience, as well as increase new restaurant sales, margins, and returns.
Food, beverage and packaging costs in the fourth quarter of 2024 were 30.4% of total revenue, an increase from 29.7% in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher usage of ingredients as we focused on ensuring consistent and generous portions, a protein mix shift from the success of our Smoked Brisket limited time offer, and to a lesser extent, inflation across several items including higher avocado and dairy costs. This increase was partially offset by the benefit of menu price increases.
Labor costs in the fourth quarter of 2024 were 25.2% of total revenue, an increase from 25.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023. Wage inflation, including minimum wage increases for our restaurants in California, was mostly offset by the benefit from sales leverage.
General and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $191.2 million, compared to $169.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily due to stock-based compensation, employee wages, and legal reserves. On a non-GAAP basis, general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $174.9 million1, compared to $170.0 million1 in the fourth quarter of 2023.
The effective income tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 24.4%, a decrease from 26.2% in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by reductions to nondeductible expenses, partially offset by a decrease in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $331.8 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $282.1 million, or $0.202 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $340.0 million1, or $0.251 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $286.2 million1, or $0.211, 2 per adjusted diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2023.
During the fourth quarter of 2024 we repurchased $331.3 million of stock at an average price per share of $59.83. As of December 31, 2024, $1.0 billion remained available under share repurchase authorizations from our Board of Directors, including an additional $300 million in additional authorizations approved by our Board of Directors on December 17, 2024. The repurchase authorization may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.
Results for the full year ended December 31, 2024:
Total revenue for 2024 was $11.3 billion, an increase of 14.6% compared to 2023. The increase in total revenue was driven by new restaurant openings and a 7.4% increase in comparable restaurant sales due to higher transactions of 5.3% and a 2.1% increase in average check. Digital sales represented 35.1% of total food and beverage revenue.
During 2024 we opened 304 company-owned restaurants, bringing the total restaurant count at year-end to 3,726. Of the 304 restaurants opened during the year, 257 included a Chipotlane. We had a total of 1,068 Chipotlanes as of year-end. Additionally, three international licensed restaurants were opened.
Food, beverage and packaging costs for 2024 were 29.8% of total revenue, an increase from 29.5% in 2023. The increase was due to higher usage of ingredients as we focused on ensuring consistent and generous portions, inflation across several ingredients, primarily avocados, and a protein mix shift from the success of our Smoked Brisket limited time offer and a Braised Beef Barbacoa marketing initiative. This increase was partially offset by the benefit of menu price increases.
Labor costs for 2024 were 24.7% of total revenue, in line with 24.7% in 2023. The benefit from sales leverage was offset by wage inflation including minimum wage increases for our restaurants in California.
1Restaurant level operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income, non-GAAP general and administrative expenses, adjusted depreciation and amortization, and non-GAAP effective income tax rate are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to GAAP measures and further information are set forth in the table at the end of this press release.
2Prior period results have been retroactively adjusted for the 50-for-1 stock split in June 2024.
General and administrative expenses for 2024 were $697.5 million, compared to $633.6 million for 2023. The increase was primarily due to employee wages, expenses from the biennial All Managers Conference, and legal reserves. On a non-GAAP basis general and administrative expenses for 2024 were $686.8 million1 compared to $629.6 million1 for 2023.
The effective income tax rate for 2024 was 23.7%, a decrease from 24.2% in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower nondeductible expenses and income tax reserves, partially offset by a reduction in tax benefits related to option exercises and equity vesting.
Net income for 2024 was $1.53 billion, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared to $1.23 billion, or $0.892 per diluted share in 2023. Adjusted net income for 2024 was $1.54 billion1, or $1.121 per adjusted diluted share, compared to $1.24 billion1, or $0.901, 2 per adjusted diluted share in 2023.
During 2024 we repurchased $995.8 million of stock at an average price per share of $57.21.
More information will be available in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which will be filed with the SEC by the end of February 2025.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Below are definitions of the non-GAAP financial measures in this release. The following tables provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted net income is net income excluding expenses related to restaurant and corporate asset impairment, software asset impairment, corporate restructuring, legal proceedings, stock-based compensation forfeiture, stock-based compensation retention grants, accelerated depreciation and investments. Adjusted general and administrative expense is general and administrative expense excluding expenses related to corporate restructuring, certain legal proceedings, stock-based compensation forfeiture, and stock-based compensation retention grants. Adjusted depreciation and amortization is depreciation and amortization expense excluding certain accelerated depreciation expense. The adjusted effective income tax rate is the effective income tax rate adjusted to reflect the after tax impact of non-GAAP adjustments. Restaurant level operating margin is equal to the revenues generated by our restaurants less their direct operating costs which consist of food, beverage and packaging, labor, occupancy and other operating costs. This performance measure primarily includes the costs that restaurant level managers can directly control and excludes other costs that are essential to conduct our business. Management uses restaurant level operating margin as a measure of restaurant performance. Management believes restaurant level operating margin is useful to investors in that it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. We present these non-GAAP measures in order to facilitate meaningful evaluation of our operating performance across periods. These adjustments are intended to provide greater transparency of underlying performance and to allow investors to evaluate our business on the same basis as our management, which uses these non-GAAP measures in evaluating the company’s performance. Our adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted general and administrative expenses, adjusted effective income tax rate and restaurant level operating margin measures may not be comparable to other companies’ adjusted measures. These adjustments are not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial performance would have been during the periods presented and should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further details regarding these adjustments are included in the tables below.
