FLANIGAN’S ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
TWENTY-SIX WEEKS ENDED MARCH 28, 2026 AND MARCH 29, 2025
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 is unaudited. Financial information as of September 27, 2025 has been derived from the audited financial statements of Flanigan’s Enterprises, Inc., a Florida corporation, together with its subsidiaries, (the “Company”, “we”, “our”, “ours” and “us” as the context requires), but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods indicated have been included. For further information regarding the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2025. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and the accounts of the ten limited partnerships in which we act as general partner and have controlling interests. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents the limited partners’ proportionate share of the net assets and results of operations of the ten limited partnerships.
The consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for condensed interim reporting are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. These estimates include assessing the estimated useful lives of tangible assets, the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities and estimates relating to the calculation of incremental borrowing rates and length of leases associated with right-of-use assets and corresponding liabilities, and estimates relating to loyalty reward programs and gift cards. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary. Although these estimates are based on our knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results.
We adjusted our condensed consolidated Statements of Income to correct rental income from Revenues to Other Income and rental expense from Operating, Occupancy and Selling, General and Administrative expenses to Other Expense. We believe this presentation more accurately reflects revenue generated from ancillary activity rather than revenue generated from core operations. Prior period amounts have been adjusted. This correction had no impact on reported results of operations.
We adjusted our condensed consolidated Statements of Income to reclassify expenses associated with the redemption of promotional gift cards from Operating Expenses to Cost of Merchandise Sold. We believe this presentation more accurately reflects the nature of the costs attributable to sales recognized under contracts with customers in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Prior period amounts have been adjusted. This correction had no impact on reported results of operations.
(2) EARNINGS PER SHARE:
We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Section 260 - “Earnings per Share”. This section provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The data on Page 1 shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share. As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, no stock options or other potentially dilutive securities were outstanding and accordingly, there is no difference in basic and diluted per share amounts.
(3) RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
Recently Adopted
During the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026, the Company did not adopt any new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on our financial statements.
Recently Issued
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily related to standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. Early adoption is permitted. We will adopt this ASU as required at the end of our fiscal year 2026 and apply the guidance retrospectively.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures” which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 clarifying the effective date of ASU 2024-03, which will be effective for the Company for our fiscal year 2028 annual reporting period, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with guidance applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our interim and consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)” which eliminates all references to project stages and requires capitalization of software costs when: (i) management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and (ii) it is probable the software project will be completed and used as intended, known as the “probable-to-completion recognition threshold.” Entities must consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software in determining if the threshold is met. In addition, the amendments in the update specify that property, plant and equipment disclosure requirements are required for capitalized internal-use software costs, regardless of financial statement presentation and also incorporate the recognition requirements for website-specific development costs. This ASU will be effective for the Company for our fiscal year 2029 annual reporting period, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with the guidance applied either prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our interim and consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”, which clarifies the guidance in Topic 270 to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This ASU will be effective for the Company for our fiscal year 2029 annual reporting period, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with the guidance applied either prospectively or retrospectively. Early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have on our interim and consolidated financial statements.
There are no other recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe will have a material effect on our financial statements.
(4) PURCHASE OF REAL PROPERTY:
During the third quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we purchased the vacant real property located at 20971 Old Cutler Road, Cutler Bay, Florida 33189 (the “Cutler Bay Property”) for a purchase price of $2,200,000. We paid all cash at closing. We plan to construct a 6,400 square foot building on the Cutler Bay Property to lease to a limited partnership of which we will be the sole general partner pursuant to our limited partnership financial arrangement to develop and operate a “Flanigan’s” restaurant.
(5) INCOME TAXES:
We account for our income taxes using FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and to tax net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits to the extent that realization of said tax benefits is more likely than not. The Company’s income tax expense computed at the statutory federal rate of 21% differs from its effective tax rate primarily due to state income taxes, noncontrolling interests, and income tax credits.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No. 119-21) was signed into law. Among other provisions, the legislation includes certain tax incentives and regulatory changes applicable to businesses in the food service and hospitality industries. The Company elected to apply the full expense provisions under the Act, allowing for 100% bonus depreciation on eligible capital expenditures placed in service after January 19, 2025. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others to be implemented through 2027. We continue to evaluate the remaining regulatory changes and phased effective dates of the Act through 2027 to determine any material impacts on our consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2026, we refinanced with our institutional lender, our mortgage loan encumbering the real property and improvements located at 12750 – 12790 S.W. 88th Street, Miami, Florida where our Flanigan’s Calusa Center and our limited partnership owned Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill restaurant operate (Store #70), without increasing the principal amount borrowed at this time ($5,676,856). The refinanced mortgage loan earns interest at a fluctuating rate per year equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate or the Index Floor (which for purposes hereof is 0.00%) and (ii) 2.25%, with the first payment of principal and interest due January 31, 2026 and monthly thereafter on the last day of each month until November 30, 2030 when the entire principal payment and all accrued interest is due in full. We received no excess funds from the refinancing of this mortgage loan. As of March 28, 2026, the variable interest rate was 6.03%.
(9) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
Master Service Agreement
During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with our current major vendor for a period of one (1) year effective January 1, 2025, with Company options for four (4) one (1) year renewal options to extend the term of the same. In this new Master Service Agreement, as in our prior Master Service Agreements, we commit to purchase specific products through our current major vendor but are free to purchase other products through other vendors, provided no less than 80% of our overall product needs are purchased through our current major vendor. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we exercised the first one (1) year renewal option and extended the term of the Master Services Agreement for a period of one (1) year effective January 1, 2026.
Leases
To conduct certain of our operations, we lease restaurant and package liquor store space in South Florida from unrelated third parties. Our leases have remaining lease terms of up to 46 years, some of which include options to renew and extend the lease terms for up to an additional 24 years. We presently intend to renew some of the extension options available to us and for purposes of computing the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities required by ASC 842, we have incorporated into all lease terms which may be extended, an additional term of the lesser of (i) the amount of years the lease may be extended; or (ii) 15 years.
During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2026, we amended the lease for our limited partnership-owned restaurant in Surfside, Florida (Store #60). Effective January 1, 2026, we extended the term of our lease to ten (10) years through December 31, 2035, which would otherwise have expired on December 31, 2026, with no renewal options. The amended lease is at a fixed base rent with annual increases based upon the consumer price increase, with both a minimum and maximum cap. The increase to our lease liability and right-of-use asset is approximately $2.05 million.
Common area maintenance and property taxes are not considered to be lease components. Variable lease costs include amounts based on a percentage of gross sales in excess of specified levels. They are recognized when probable and are not included in determining the present value of our operating lease liability.

Litigation
On March 31, 2025, a lawsuit was filed against one (1) of our wholly owned subsidiaries which does not operate a restaurant and personally against the general manager of one (1) of our franchisees only, which was later amended to substitute as Defendants the Company, one (1) of its five (5) franchisees and three (3) of its controlled limited partnerships alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”), including but not limited to allegations that the franchisee failed to pay overtime, required employees to work off the clock and/or to perform side-work at a tipped rate for periods of time in excess of the time permitted without paying the full minimum wage. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2026, the Court granted the Plaintiff’s motion and conditionally certified a FLSA collective action consisting of all current and former non-exempt servers and bartenders who worked at our franchisee and three (3) limited partnership restaurants for a period of three (3) years preceding the lawsuit through the entry of judgment who were not paid one-and-a half their regular rate of pay for hours worked over forty in a work week. There is no insurance coverage for this action. The franchisee and limited partnerships vigorously deny the allegations. A full evidentially hearing will be held after discovery for the Court to determine if the lawsuit will continue as a collective action.
Our sale of alcoholic beverages subjects us to “dram shop” statutes, which allow an injured person to recover damages from an establishment that served alcoholic beverages to an intoxicated person. If we receive a judgment substantially in excess of our insurance coverage or if we fail to maintain our insurance coverage, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected. We currently have no “dram shop” claims.
From time to time, we are a party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of our business, including claims resulting from “slip and fall” accidents, claims under federal and state laws governing access to public accommodations, employment-related claims and claims from guests alleging illness, injury or other food quality, health or operational concerns. It is our opinion, after consulting with legal counsel, that all such matters are without merit or involve such amounts that an unfavorable disposition, some of which is covered by insurance, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
(10) BUSINESS SEGMENTS:
We operate in two reportable segments – package stores and restaurants. The operation of package stores consists of retail liquor sales and related items. The operation of restaurants consists of restaurant food and bar sales. Operating income is total revenue less cost of merchandise sold and operating expenses relative to each segment. In order to evaluate each of these two operating segments we also break out our Corporate entity which functions as a cost center accumulating expenses that do not directly relate to the reportable segments operations. As such, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) (our Chief Financial Officer) ensures that these expenses are separated in order to properly evaluate the two main reportable segments as presented below. We have disclosed for each reportable segment the significant expense categories that are reviewed by CODM in the tables below and there are no additional significant expenses within the expense categories presented. The key areas of focus by CODM for allocation of resources are revenues from each reportable segment, as well as their cost of merchandise sold, payroll related costs, and operating expenses (these figures are presented both pre-elimination and post-elimination with a line clearly distinguishing the elimination amounts). While CODM analyzes these categories, the area of focus is period over period fluxes to determine that the right allocation of resources is attributed to each segment in order to ensure profitability is maximized. Gross profit is not shown on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income but is a metric that CODM uses to assess segment performance and as such is included in the tables below. In computing operating income, none of the following items have been included: interest expense, other non-operating income and expenses and income taxes. Identifiable assets by segment are those assets that are used in our operations in each segment. Corporate assets are principally cash and real property, improvements, furniture, equipment and vehicles used at our corporate headquarters. We do not have any operations outside of the United States and transactions between restaurants and package liquor stores are not material. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. CODM analyzes each segment’s income from operations for making decisions regarding resource allocation. Information concerning the revenues and operating income for the quarters ended March 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025, and identifiable assets for the two reportable segments in which we operate, are shown in the following tables.

Franchise Financial Arrangement: In exchange for providing management and related services to our franchisees and granting them the right to use our service marks “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” and “Big Daddy’s Liquors”, our franchisees (four of which are franchised to members of the family of our Chairman of the Board, officers and/or directors), are required to (i) pay to us a royalty equal to 1% of gross package store sales and 3% of gross restaurant sales; and (ii) make advertising expenditures equal to between 1.5% to 3% of all gross sales based upon our actual advertising costs allocated between stores, pro-rata, based upon gross sales.
Limited Partnership Financial Arrangement: We manage and control the operations of all restaurants owned by limited partnerships, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant which is owned by a related franchisee. Accordingly, the results of operations of all limited partnership owned restaurants, except the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are consolidated into our operations for accounting purposes. The results of operations of the Fort Lauderdale, Florida restaurant are accounted for by us utilizing the equity method of accounting. In general, until the investors’ cash investment in a limited partnership (including any cash invested by us and our affiliates) is returned in full, the limited partnership distributes to the investors annually out of available cash from the operation of the restaurant up to 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership, with no management fee paid to us. Any available cash in excess of the 25% of the cash invested in the limited partnership distributed to the investors annually, is paid one-half (½) to us as a management fee, with the balance distributed to the investors as a return of capital. Once the investors in the limited partnership have received, in full, amounts equal to their cash invested, an annual management fee is payable to us equal to one-half (½) of cash available to the limited partnership, with the other one half (½) of available cash distributed to the investors (including us and our affiliates), as a profit distribution. As of March 28, 2026, all limited partnerships, with the exception of the limited partnership which owns the restaurant in Sunrise, Florida (Store #85), which opened for business in March 2022 and the limited partnership which owns the restaurant in Miramar, Florida (Store #25), which opened for business in April 2023, have returned all cash invested and we receive an annual management fee equal to one-half (½) of the cash available for distribution by the limited partnership. In addition to receipt of distributable amounts from the limited partnerships, we receive a fee equal to 3% of gross sales for use of the service mark “Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill” or “Flanigan’s”.

Comparison of Thirteen Weeks Ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
Revenues. Total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $3,156,000 or 5.91% to $56,515,000 from $53,359,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 due primarily to increased menu prices and higher restaurant and package liquor store traffic. Effective March 1, 2026, we increased our menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 3.68% annually and we increased our menu prices for our food offerings to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 3.25% annually. Effective February 23, 2025, we increased our menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 0.84% annually. Effective December 4, 2024, we increased our menu prices for our bar offerings to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 4.90% annually and effective November 17, 2024 we increased our menu prices for our food offerings to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 4.14% annually (collectively the “Recent Price Increases”).
Restaurant Food Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food, including non-alcoholic beverages, at restaurants totaled $34,608,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to $32,586,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. This increase in restaurant food sales is attributable to the Recent Price Increases and increased restaurant traffic. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for restaurants open for all of the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 respectively, which consists of eleven restaurants owned by us and ten restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $2,635,000 and $2,481,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 6.21%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for Company-owned restaurants was $1,304,000 and $1,235,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 5.59%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $1,331,000 and $1,246,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 6.82%. We expect that restaurant food sales, including non-alcoholic beverages, for the balance of our fiscal year 2026 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases.
Restaurant Bar Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants totaled $8,391,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to $8,194,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. The increase in restaurant bar sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 is primarily due to the Recent Price Increases. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for restaurants open for all of the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, which consists of eleven restaurants owned by us and ten restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $645,000 and $630,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 2.38%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for Company-owned restaurants only was $290,000 and $287,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 1.05%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $355,000 and $343,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, an increase of 3.50%. We expect that restaurant bar sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2026 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases, partially offset by the softening of alcohol consumption at our restaurants.
Package Store Sales. Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $12,955,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to $12,051,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, an increase of $904,000. This increase was primarily due to increased package liquor store traffic, including e-commerce sales. The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes eleven (11) Company-owned package liquor stores was $997,000 and $927,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 7.55%. We expect that package liquor store sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2026 will increase due to increased package liquor store traffic, including from e-commerce.
Costs and Expenses. Costs and expenses (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, operating expenses, occupancy costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization), for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $2,503,000 or 5.02% to $52,346,000 from $49,843,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of merchandise sold, payroll and operating expenses partially offset by actions taken by management to reduce and/or control costs. We anticipate that our costs and expenses will continue to increase through the balance of our fiscal year 2026. Costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenue to approximately 92.62% for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 from 93.41% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025.
Gross Profit. Gross profit is calculated by subtracting the cost of merchandise sold from sales.
Restaurant Food Sales and Bar Sales. Gross profit for food and bar sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased to $28,763,000 from $27,045,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. Our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of restaurant food and bar sales), increased to 66.89% for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to 66.32% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 due primarily to the Recent Price Increases.
Package Store Sales. Gross profit for package store sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 decreased $244,000 to $3,138,000 from $3,382,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. Our gross profit margin (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales), for package store sales decreased to 24.22% for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026, as compared to 28.06% for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, due primarily to higher costs and competitive pricing strategies. We anticipate that the gross profit margin for package liquor store merchandise will decrease for the balance of our fiscal 2026 due to higher costs and a reduction in pricing of certain package store merchandise to remain competitive.
Payroll and Related Costs. Payroll and related costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $626,000 or 3.87% to $16,810,000 from $16,184,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. Payroll and related costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 were higher due primarily to the Florida minimum wage increase. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total revenue was 29.74 % for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 and 30.33% of total revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses (including but not limited to utilities, insurance, cleaning, credit card fees, supplies, security, and other costs closely related to operating restaurant and package stores) for the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $87,000 or 1.31% to $6,725,000 from $6,638,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 due primarily to inflation and increases in expenses across all categories.
Occupancy Costs.

Comparison of Twenty-Six Weeks Ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
Revenues. Total revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $5,729,000 or 5.54% to $109,083,000 from $103,354,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 due primarily to the Recent Price Increases and higher restaurant and package liquor store traffic.
Restaurant Food Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of food, including non-alcoholic beverages, at restaurants totaled $65,540,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to $61,712,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025. This increase in restaurant food sales is attributable to the Recent Price Increases and increased restaurant traffic. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for restaurants open for all of the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 respectively, which consists of eleven restaurants owned by us and ten restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $2,496,000 and $2,351,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 6.17%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for Company-owned restaurants was $1,187,000 and $1,115,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 6.46%. Comparable weekly restaurant food sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $1,309,000 and $1,236,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 5.91%. We expect that restaurant food sales, including non-alcoholic beverages, for the balance of our fiscal year 2026 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases.
Restaurant Bar Sales. Restaurant revenue generated from the sale of alcoholic beverages at restaurants totaled $16,246,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to $16,156,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025. The increase in restaurant bar sales during the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 is primarily due to the Recent Price Increases, partially offset by the softening of alcohol consumption at our restaurants. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for restaurants open for all of the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, which consists of eleven restaurants owned by us and ten restaurants owned by affiliated limited partnerships was $625,000 and $621,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 0.64%. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for Company-owned restaurants only was $279,000 for both the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025. Comparable weekly restaurant bar sales for affiliated limited partnership owned restaurants only was $346,000 and $342,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, an increase of 1.17%. We expect that restaurant bar sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2026 will increase due to the Recent Price Increases, partially offset by the softening of alcohol consumption at our restaurants.
Package Store Sales. Revenue generated from sales of liquor and related items at package liquor stores totaled $26,240,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to $24,486,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025, an increase of $1,754,000. This increase was primarily due to increased package liquor store traffic, including e-commerce sales. The weekly average of same store package liquor store sales, which includes eleven (11) Company-owned package liquor stores was $1,009,000 and $942,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, an increase of 7.11%. We expect that package liquor store sales for the balance of our fiscal year 2026 will increase due to increased package liquor store traffic, including from e-commerce.
Costs and Expenses. Costs and expenses (consisting of cost of merchandise sold, payroll and related costs, operating expenses, occupancy costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization), for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $4,159,000 or 4.20% to $103,245,000 from $99,086,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025. The increase was primarily due to increased cost of merchandise sold, payroll and operating expenses partially offset by actions taken by management to reduce and/or control costs. We anticipate that our costs and expenses will continue to increase through the balance of our fiscal year 2026. Costs and expenses decreased as a percentage of total revenue to approximately 94.65% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 from 95.87% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025.

Our gross profit margin for restaurant food and bar sales (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of restaurant food and bar sales), increased to 66.72% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 as compared to 65.63% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 due primarily to the Recent Price Increases.
Package Store Sales. Gross profit for package store sales for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased to $6,458,000 from $6,336,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025. Our gross profit margin (calculated as gross profit reflected as a percentage of package liquor store sales), for package store sales decreased to 24.61% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026, as compared to 25.88% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025, due primarily to higher costs and competitive pricing strategies. We anticipate that the gross profit margin for package liquor store merchandise will decrease for the balance of our fiscal 2026 due to higher costs and a reduction in pricing of certain package store merchandise to remain competitive.
Payroll and Related Costs. Payroll and related costs for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $1,251,000 or 3.92% to $33,181,000 from $31,930,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025. Payroll and related costs for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 were higher due primarily to the Florida minimum wage increase. Payroll and related costs as a percentage of total revenue was 30.42% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and 30.89% of total revenue for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025.

Net income attributable to Flanigan’s Enterprises, Inc.’s stockholders for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 increased $935,000 or 34.06% to $3,680,000 from $2,745,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025 due primarily to the Recent Price Increases, partially offset by overall increased expenses. As a percentage of total revenue, net income attributable to stockholders for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 is 3.37% as compared to 2.66% for the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025.
Menu Price Increases and Trends
During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2026, we increased our menu prices for our bar offerings (effective March 1, 2026) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 3.68% annually and we increased our menu prices for our food offerings (effective March 1, 2026) to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 3.25% annually to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we increased our menu prices for our bar offerings (effective February 23, 2025) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 0.84% annually to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses. During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we increased our menu prices for our bar offerings (effective December 4, 2024) to target an increase to our bar revenues of approximately 4.90% annually and we increased our menu prices for our food offerings (effective November 17, 2024) to target an increase to our food revenues of approximately 4.14% annually to offset higher food and liquor costs and higher overall expenses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our operations through cash from operations and borrowings from third parties. As of March 28, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $22,831,000, an increase of $2,737,000 from our cash balance of $20,094,000 as of September 27, 2025. This increase is primarily due to higher revenue.
In the third quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we paid $2.2 million for the purchase of undeveloped land in Cutler Bay, Florida for a future restaurant site. This acquisition reflects our ongoing investment in strategic expansion. While no construction has commenced as of the reporting date, site planning has begun and management anticipates capital expenditures related to site development and build-out in future fiscal quarters.
Inflation is affecting all aspects of our operations, including but not limited to food, beverage, fuel and labor costs. Supply chain issues also contribute to inflation. Inflation is having a material impact on our operating results.
We believe that our current cash availability from our cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations, and planned mortgages will be sufficient to fund our operations and planned capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months.
Cash Flows
The following table is a summary of our cash flows for the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.
| Twenty-Six Weeks Ended | ||||||||

We did not declare or pay a cash dividend on our capital stock during the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026 or the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at our Board’s discretion and will depend upon our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.
Capital Expenditures
In addition to using cash for our operating expenses, we use cash generated from operations and borrowings to fund the development and construction of new restaurants and to fund capitalized property improvements for our existing restaurants. During the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026, we acquired property and equipment of $1,653,000, (of which $48,000 was purchase deposits transferred to property and equipment), including $254,000 for renovations to four Company-owned locations and $107,000 for renovations to one limited partnership owned restaurant. During the twenty-six weeks ended March 29, 2025, we acquired property and equipment of $1,731,000, (of which $11,000 was purchase deposits transferred to property and equipment), including $87,000 for renovations to one Company-owned package location and $43,000 for renovations to one limited partnership owned restaurant.
We anticipate the cost of refurbishment in our fiscal year 2026 will be approximately $750,000, although capital expenditures for our refurbishing program for fiscal year 2026 may be significantly higher.
Long-Term Debt
As of March 28, 2026, we had long-term debt (including the current portion) of $19,919,000, as compared to $20,618,000 as of September 27, 2025.
During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2026, we refinanced with our institutional lender, our mortgage loan encumbering the real property and improvements located at 12750 – 12790 S.W. 88th Street, Miami, Florida where our Flanigan’s Calusa Center and our limited partnership owned Flanigan’s Seafood Bar and Grill restaurant operate (Store #70), without increasing the principal amount borrowed at this time ($5,676,856). The refinanced mortgage loan earns interest at a fluctuating rate per year equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the Term SOFR Daily Floating Rate or the Index Floor (which for purposes hereof is 0.00%) and (ii) 2.25%, with the first payment of principal and interest due January 31, 2026 and monthly thereafter on the last day of each month until November 30, 2030 when the entire principal payment and all accrued interest is due in full. We received no excess funds from the refinancing of this mortgage loan. As of March 28, 2026, the variable interest rate was 6.03%.
As of March 28, 2026, we are in compliance with all of the covenants contained in our loan agreements.
Purchase Commitments
In order to fix the cost and ensure adequate supply of baby back ribs for our restaurants for calendar year 2026, we entered into a purchase agreement with our existing rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately $9.2 million of “2.5 & Down Baby Back Ribs” (weight range in which baby back ribs are sold) during calendar year 2026, at a prescribed cost, which we believe is competitive. For calendar year 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement with a new rib supplier, whereby we agreed to purchase approximately $7.8 million of “2.5 & Down Baby Back Ribs” during calendar year 2025, at a prescribed cost, which we believed was competitive. The increase in our cost of baby back ribs for calendar year 2026 compared to calendar year 2025 is due to an increase in market price and quantity ordered.
While we anticipate purchasing all of our rib supply from our current rib vendor, we believe there are several other alternative vendors available, if needed.
Master Service Agreement
During the first quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we entered into a new Master Services Agreement with our current major vendor for a period of one (1) year effective January 1, 2025, with Company options for four (4) one (1) year renewal options to extend the term of the same. In this new Master Service Agreement, as in our prior Master Service Agreements, we commit to purchase specific products through our current major vendor but are free to purchase other products through other vendors, provided no less than 80% of our overall product needs are purchased through our current major vendor. During the fourth quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we exercised the first one (1) year renewal option and extended the term of the Master Services Agreement for a period of one (1) year effective January 1, 2026.
Working Capital
The table below summarizes the current assets, current liabilities, and working capital for our fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2026, and our fiscal year ended September 27, 2025.
| Item | March 28, 2026 |
September 27, 2025 |
||||||
| (in thousands) | ||||||||
| Current Assets | $ | 34,413 | $ | 30,593 | ||||
| Current Liabilities | 18,744 | 18,118 | ||||||
| Working Capital | $ | 15,669 | $ | 12,475 | ||||
While there can be no assurance due to, among other things, unanticipated expenses or unanticipated decline in revenues, or both, we believe that our cash on hand, positive cash flow from operations, and planned mortgages will adequately fund operations, debt reductions and planned capital expenditures throughout our fiscal year 2026.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8. “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2025.
Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe are both significant and require us to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often because we need to estimate the effect of inherently uncertain matters. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experiences and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates and we might obtain different estimates if we use different assumptions or factors.
Leases
We currently lease a portion of our restaurant and package locations under various lease agreements. Determining the probable term for each lease requires judgment by management and can impact the classification and accounting for a lease as financing or operating, as well as the period for straight-lined rent expense and the depreciation period for leasehold improvements. Generally, the lease term is a minimum of the noncancelable period of the lease or the lease term inclusive of reasonably certain renewal periods up to a term of 15 years. If the estimate of our reasonably certain lease term was changed, our depreciation and rent expense could differ materially. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we estimate incremental borrowing rates (IBR) corresponding to the reasonably certain lease term. The IBR is an estimate based on several factors, including financial market conditions, comparable company and credit analysis as well as management judgment. If the IBR was changed, our operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities could differ materially.
Estimated Useful Lives of Property and Equipment
The estimates of useful lives for property and equipment are significant estimates. Expenditures for the leasehold improvements and equipment when a restaurant is first constructed are material. In addition, periodic refurbishing takes place and those expenditures can be material. We estimate the useful life of those assets by considering, among other things, expected use, life of the lease on the building, and warranty period, if applicable. The assets are then depreciated using a straight-line method over those estimated lives. These estimated lives are reviewed periodically and adjusted if necessary. Any necessary adjustment to depreciation expense is made in the income statement of the period in which the adjustment is determined to be necessary.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that may warrant revision of the estimated life of our intangible and other long-lived assets and/or whether the remaining balance of our intangible and other long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment. If and when such factors, events or circumstances indicate that intangible and/or other long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, we will determine the fair value of the asset by making an estimate of expected future cash flows over the remaining lives of the respective assets and compare that fair value with the carrying value of the assets in measuring their recoverability. In determining the expected future cash flows, the assets will be grouped at the lowest level for which there are cash flows, at the individual store level.
Income Taxes
We account for our income taxes using FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, which requires among other things, recognition of future tax benefits measured at enacted rates attributable to deductible temporary differences between financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and tax credits to the extent that realization of said tax benefits is more likely than not. For discussion regarding our carryforwards refer to Note 10 in the consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year 2025.
Inflation
The primary inflationary factors affecting our operations are food, beverage and labor costs. A large number of restaurant personnel are paid at rates based upon applicable minimum wage and increases in minimum wage directly affect labor costs. Inflation is having a material impact on our operating results, especially rising food, fuel and labor costs. We have endeavored to offset the adverse effects of cost increases by increasing our menu prices.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We do not ordinarily hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes and as of March 28, 2026 held no equity securities.
Economic Risk
The current government administration has imposed changes in trade policy, including an increase in the use of tariffs which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by other countries, shifts in immigration policies and international relations and changes to the overall regulation and enforcement by government agencies. We cannot predict the timing or impact, if any, of such actions.
Our operations and financial results will likely be adversely affected by increased commodity and energy volatility resulting from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, specifically involving Iran. The escalation of hostilities has led to significant fluctuations in global oil and natural gas prices. Furthermore, if energy prices remain elevated, we may experience sustained inflationary pressure on key food commodities and packaging materials.
Legislative and Regulatory Risk
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law No. 119-21) was signed into law. Among other provisions, the legislation includes certain tax incentives and regulatory changes applicable to businesses in the food service and hospitality industries. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions implemented through 2027. We continue to review the legislation to determine its potential impact.
Interest Rate Risk
As part of our ongoing operations, we are exposed to interest rate fluctuations on our borrowings. We use interest rate swap agreements to manage these risks. These instruments are not used for speculative purposes but are used to modify variable rate obligations into fixed rate obligations.
At March 28, 2026, we had one variable rate instrument outstanding that is impacted by changes in interest rates. In September 2022, we refinanced the mortgage loan encumbering the property where our combination package liquor store and restaurant located at 4 N. Federal Highway, Hallandale Beach, Florida, (Store #31) operates, which mortgage loan is held by an unaffiliated third-party lender (the “$8.90M Loan”). Effective November 15, 2024, the publication of BSBY was terminated and as of such date, the variable rate of interest under our debt instrument is equal to the lender’s 1 Month CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 10 basis points, as an equivalent alternative approved by the lender. As of March 28, 2026 the variable interest rate was 5.27%.
As a means of managing our interest rate risk on this debt instrument, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an unrelated third-party lender in September 2022 to convert this variable rate debt obligation to a fixed rate. On November 22, 2024, we terminated the $8.90M Term Loan Swap entered into in September 2022, and simultaneously entered into a new interest rate swap agreement for $8,015,601, the balance due on the $8.90M Loan, which requires us to pay interest for twelve (12) years, ten (10) months, which is the balance of the original fifteen (15) year period at a fixed rate of 4.90% on an initial amortizing notional principal amount of $8,015,601, while receiving interest for the same period at the lender’s 1 Month CME Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus 10 basis points, at the same amortizing notional principal amount. During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we recognized $290,000 of non-cash gains, net of tax, related to the above interest rate swap agreement as interest and other income. We determined that the new interest rate swap agreement is an economic hedge and beginning in the second quarter of our fiscal year 2025, we recognize the changes in fair value on our interest rate swap in interest and other income on our condensed consolidated statements of income.
During the twenty-six weeks ended March 28, 2026, we had an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1,106,000 of 90-day government guaranteed certificates of deposit at fixed annual interest rates between 3.65% and 4.3%. Otherwise, at March 28, 2026, our cash resources offset our bank charges and any excess cash resources earn interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our return on these funds may be affected by fluctuations in interest rates.
There is no assurance that interest rates will increase or decrease over our next fiscal year or that an increase in interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our operations.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of March 28, 2026, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 28, 2026.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the second quarter of our fiscal year 2026, we have not made any changes to our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
