Darden Restaurants Posts Higher 4Q Profit, Sales

Dow Jones

Jun 25

Darden Restaurants reported higher profit and sales in its fiscal fourth quarter, once again led by its LongHorn Steakhouse brand.

The company on Thursday posted net earnings of $404.9 million, or $3.51 a share, for its three months ended May 31, compared with $303.8 million, or $2.58 a share, a year earlier.

Stripping out one-time items, earnings came in at $3.66 a share. Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of $3.63 a share.

Quarterly sales climbed 14% to $3.72 billion, just below Wall Street models for $3.73 billion. The company attributed the increase in part to additional sales from an extra week of operations, as well as the benefit of new restaurant openings.

Same-restaurant sales rose 4.6%, ahead of analyst views for a 4.2% increase. Growth was led by a 9.5% jump in comparable sales across its LongHorn Steakhouse brand, while same-restaurant sales across its Oliver Garden banner ticked up 2.4%.

Looking ahead, Darden guided for earnings from continuing operations of $11.10 to $11.35 a share on sales of $13.6 billion to $13.75 billion in its fiscal 2027. Analysts were looking for earnings of $11.39 a share on sales of $13.71 billion.

Same-restaurant sales are projected to climb 2.5% to 3.5% over the coming year, compared with analyst views for a 2.9% increase.
