Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") contains forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from the statements made herein. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements about our growth, including our long-term growth goals, strategic priorities and initiatives, and liquidity. Forward-looking statements discuss our current expectations, targets and projections relating to our financial position, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as "aim," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "future," "intend," "likely," "outlook," "potential," "preliminary," "project," "projection," "plan," "seek," "targets," "may," "could," "would," "will," "should," "can," "can have," the negatives thereof and other similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on certain assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from trends, plans, or expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements, as set forth in this Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Some of the factors which could cause results to differ materially from our expectations include our ability to develop and open new Shacks on a timely basis, increased costs or shortages or interruptions in the supply and delivery of products, increased labor costs or shortages, inflationary pressures, the impact of tariffs, the impact of Shack closures, our management of digital capabilities and expansion into delivery, as well as kiosk, drive-thru and multiple format investments, our ability to maintain and grow sales at existing Shacks, and risks relating to the restaurant industry generally, and our ability to maintain proper and effective internal controls over financial reporting. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q in the context of the risks and uncertainties disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2024 as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and our other filings with the SEC.

The forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be made that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

NOTE 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Shake Shack Inc. was formed on September 23, 2014 as a Delaware corporation for the purpose of facilitating an initial public offering and other related transactions in order to carry on the business of SSE Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries ("SSE Holdings"). Shake Shack Inc. is the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as sole managing member, the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of SSE Holdings. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of SSE Holdings and reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest in SSE Holdings held by the other members of SSE Holdings. As of March 26, 2025 the Company owned 94.3% of SSE Holdings. Unless the context otherwise requires, "we," "us," "our," "Shake Shack," the "Company" and other similar references, refer to Shake Shack Inc. and, unless otherwise stated, all of its subsidiaries, including SSE Holdings.

The Company operates and licenses Shake Shack restaurants ("Shacks"), which serve burgers, chicken, hot dogs, crinkle cut fries, shakes, frozen custard, beer, wine and more. As of March 26, 2025, there were 589 Shacks in operation system wide, of which 333 were Company-operated Shacks and 256 were licensed Shacks.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Shake Shack Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and on a basis consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally presented in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 2024 Form 10-K. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operation have been included. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.

SSE Holdings is considered a variable interest entity. Shake Shack Inc. is the primary beneficiary as the Company has the majority economic interest in SSE Holdings and, as the sole managing member, has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity, while the limited partners have no substantive kick-out or participating rights. As a result, the Company consolidates SSE Holdings. The assets and liabilities of SSE Holdings represent substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets and liabilities with the exception of certain deferred taxes and liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of March 26, 2025 and December 25, 2024, the net assets of SSE Holdings were $423,088 and $413,793, respectively. The assets of SSE Holdings are subject to certain restrictions in SSE Holdings' revolving credit agreement.

Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Wednesday of December. Fiscal 2025 contains 53 weeks and ends on December 31, 2025. Fiscal 2024 contained 52 weeks and ended on December 25, 2024. Unless otherwise stated, references to years in this report relate to fiscal years.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 6: DEBT

Convertible Notes

The Company's $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (“Convertible Notes”) will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in certain circumstances. Upon conversion, the Company pays or delivers, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at the Company's election.

The Convertible Notes are convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding December 1, 2027, only under the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on June 30, 2021 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price for the Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; (2) during the five business day period after any ten consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price (as defined in the Indenture) per one thousand dollar principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of Class A common stock and the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes on each such trading day; (3) if the Company calls such Convertible Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date, but only with respect to the Convertible Notes called (or deemed called) for redemption; and (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as set forth in the Indenture. On or after December 1, 2027, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.

The Convertible Notes had an initial conversion rate of 5.8679 shares of Class A common stock per one thousand dollar principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $170.42 per share of Class A common stock. The fair value of the Convertible Notes was approximately $234,488 and $256,900, respectively, as of March 26, 2025 and December 25, 2024, based on external pricing data, including available quoted market prices of these instruments, and consideration of comparable debt instruments with similar interest rates and trading frequency, among other factors, and is classified as a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

NOTE 8: NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

Shake Shack is the primary beneficiary and sole managing member of SSE Holdings and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of SSE Holdings. The Company reports a non-controlling interest representing the economic interest held by the other members of SSE Holdings. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, as further amended, (the "LLC Agreement") of SSE Holdings provides that holders of SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, the Company will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing the total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. Changes in the ownership interest in SSE Holdings while the Company retains its controlling interest in SSE Holdings will be accounted for as equity transactions. As such, future redemptions or direct exchanges of LLC Interests in SSE Holdings by the other members of SSE Holdings will result in a change in ownership and reduce the amount recorded as non-controlling interest and increase additional paid-in capital.

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in SSE Holdings:


	March 26, 2025			December 25, 2024
	LLC Interests	Ownership %		LLC Interests	Ownership %

NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES

Shake Shack is the sole managing member of SSE Holdings, which is classified as a partnership for U.S federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As the managing member, the Company consolidates SSE Holdings financial results. As a partnership, SSE Holdings is not subject to U.S. federal and certain state and local income taxes. Instead, any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is allocated to its members, including the Company, on a pro rata basis. The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to its allocable share of taxable income or loss from SSE Holdings, as well as any stand-alone income or loss generated by Shake Shack Inc. The Company is also subject to withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establishes valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of March 26, 2025, the Company concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that all of its deferred tax assets (except for those deferred tax assets relating to certain state tax credits and net operating losses) are more likely than not to be realized. As such, no additional valuation allowance was recognized.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with certain then-existing non-controlling members of SSE Holdings (the "Tax Receivable Agreement"). This agreement obligates the Company to pay the non-controlling interest holders 85% of any tax benefits that the Company may actually realize, or be deemed to realize, from (i) increases in the Company's share of the tax basis of SSE Holdings due to redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests, (ii) tax basis increases resulting from payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and (iii) deductions from imputed interest under the agreement (the "TRA Payments"). The Company expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of any realized tax benefits. The TRA Payments are not conditioned upon any continued ownership interest in SSE Holdings or us. Additionally, the rights of each non-controlling interest holder under the Tax Receivable Agreement, are assignable to transferees of its LLC Interests.

Pursuant to the Company's election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), the Company expects to obtain an increase in its share of the tax basis in the net assets of SSE Holdings when LLC Interests are redeemed or exchanged by the other members of SSE Holdings. The Company plans to make an election under Section 754 of the Code for each taxable year in which a redemption or exchange of LLC Interest occurs. The Company intends to treat any redemptions and exchanges of LLC Interests as direct purchases of LLC Interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. These increases in tax basis may reduce the amounts that would otherwise be paid in the future to various tax authorities. They may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.

There were no transactions subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement for which the Company did not recognize the related liability, as the Company concluded that it would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize all of the related tax benefits generated by all transactions that occurred during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 and March 27, 2024.

NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Commitments

The Company is obligated under various operating leases for Shacks and Shack Support Centers expiring in various years through 2045. Under certain of these leases, the Company is liable for contingent rent based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified thresholds and typically responsible for its proportionate share of real estate taxes, common area maintenance costs and other occupancy costs.

Certain leases require the Company to obtain letters of credit. As of March 26, 2025, the Company held three letters of credit totaling $695.

Purchase Commitments

Purchase obligations include legally binding contracts, including commitments for the purchase, construction or remodeling of real estate and facilities, firm minimum commitments for inventory purchases, equipment purchases, marketing-related contracts, software acquisition/license commitments and service contracts. These obligations are generally short-term in nature and are recorded as liabilities when the related goods are received or services rendered. The Company also enters into long-term, exclusive contracts with certain vendors to supply food, beverages and paper goods, obligating the Company to purchase specified quantities.

Legal Contingencies

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and liabilities, involving employees and guests alike, which arise in the ordinary course of business and are generally covered by insurance. As of March 26, 2025, the amount of the ultimate liability with respect to these matters was not material.

Liabilities under Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company is a party to the Tax Receivable Agreement under which it is contractually committed to pay certain of the members of SSE Holdings 85% of the amount of any tax benefits that are actually realized, or in some cases are deemed to realize, as a result of certain transactions. The Company is not obligated to make any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement until the tax benefits associated with the transactions that gave rise to the payments are realized. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If the Company does not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then it would not be required to make the related TRA Payments. The Company recognizes liabilities relating to the obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement if concluding that it is probable that it would have sufficient future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the related tax benefits. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, for additional information relating to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

OVERVIEW

Shake Shack serves modern, fun and elevated versions of American classics using only premium ingredients. We are known for our made-to-order 100% Angus beef burgers, crispy chicken, hand-spun milkshakes, house-made lemonades, beer, wine, and more. With our fine-dining roots and a commitment to crafting uplifting experiences, Shake Shack has become a cult-brand and created a new category, fine-casual.

Our purpose is to Stand For Something Good in all aspects of our business. Stand For Something Good is a call to action for all of our stakeholders — our team, guests, communities, suppliers and investors — and we actively invite them all to share in this philosophy with us. This commitment drives our integration into the local communities in which we operate and fosters a deep and lasting connection with our guests. We are committed to a positive social impact, creating an equitable and inclusive workplace and community and focusing on environmental sustainability.

The following definitions apply to these terms as used herein:

"Average weekly sales" is calculated by dividing total Shack sales by the number of operating weeks for all Shacks in operation during the period. For Shacks that are not open for the entire period, fractional adjustments are made to the number of operating weeks open such that it corresponds to the period of associated sales.

"Same-Shack sales" represents Shack sales for the comparable Shack base, which is defined as the number of Company-operated Shacks open for 24 full fiscal months or longer. For consecutive days that Shacks were temporarily closed, the comparative period was also adjusted.

“System-wide sales” is an operating measure and consists of sales from Company-operated Shacks and licensed Shacks. The Company does not recognize the sales from licensed Shacks as revenue. Of these amounts, revenue is limited to licensing revenue based on a percentage of sales from licensed Shacks, as well as certain up-front fees, such as territory fees and opening fees.

Key Operating Metrics

Same-Shack sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 0.2% compared to the same period last year, driven by a 4.8% increase in price mix, partially offset by a 4.6% decline in guest traffic. The decline in guest traffic was primarily related to weather, the LA wildfires, and broader macroeconomic pressures. For the purpose of calculating same-Shack sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025, Shack sales for 250 Shacks were included in the comparable Shack base.

Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

Average weekly sales were $72,000 for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025, compared to $73,000 for the same period last year, primarily driven by a decline in guest traffic, partially offset by higher menu prices and the closure of nine underperforming Company-operated Shacks in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

System-wide sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 10.4% to $489.4 million compared to the same period last year.

Digital sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 14.3% to $118.0 million compared to the same period last year. Digital sales includes orders placed on the Shake Shack app, website and third-party delivery platforms, which represented 38.1% of Shack sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025.

Development Highlights

During the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025, we opened four new Company-operated Shacks and seven new licensed Shacks. There was one permanent licensed Shack closure in the first quarter of 2025.

Shack Sales

Shack sales represent the aggregate sales of food, beverages and Shake Shack branded merchandise at our Company-operated Shacks and gift card breakage income. Shack sales in any period are directly influenced by the number of operating weeks in such period and the total number of open Shacks.

	Dollar change compared to prior year	$	29,286
	Percentage change compared to prior year	10.4		%

Shack sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 10.4% to $309.8 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 43 new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025 which contributed $36.0 million as well as increased menu prices, partially offset by a decline in guest traffic and the impact from the closure of nine Company-operated Shacks in fiscal 2024.

Licensing Revenue

Licensing revenue is comprised of license fees and opening fees and territory fees for certain licensed Shacks. License fees are calculated as a percentage of sales and territory fees are payments for the exclusive right to develop Shacks in a specific geographic area.


		Thirteen Weeks Ended

	Percentage change compared to prior year	11.1		%

Licensing revenue for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 11.1% to $11.1 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 30 net new licensed Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025 which contributed $1.1 million to Licensing revenue.

Food and Paper Costs

Food and paper costs include the direct costs associated with food, beverage and packaging of our menu items. The components of Food and paper costs are variable by nature, change with sales volume, and are impacted by menu mix, channel mix and fluctuations in commodity costs, as well as geographic scale and proximity.

	Percentage change compared to prior year	7.2		%

Food and paper costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 7.2% to $86.0 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 43 new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025, which contributed approximately $10.1 million, partially offset by the closure of nine Company-operated Shacks in fiscal 2024.

As a percentage of Shack sales, the decrease in Food and paper costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 was primarily driven by increased menu prices partially offset by increased commodity costs, specifically beef.

Labor and Related Expenses

Labor and related expenses include Company-operated Shack-level hourly and management wages, bonuses, payroll taxes, equity-based compensation, workers’ compensation expense and medical benefits. As we expect with other variable expense items, labor costs should grow as our Shack sales grow. Factors that influence labor costs include minimum wage and payroll tax legislation, health care costs, size and location of the Shack and the performance of our Company-operated Shacks.

Form 10-Q | 27

Table of Contents

Labor and related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 6.3% to $86.7 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 43 new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025, partially offset by labor efficiencies.

As a percentage of Shack sales, the decrease in Labor and related expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 was primarily due to labor efficiencies partially offset by increased wages and incremental expenses from the opening of 43 new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses consist of delivery commissions, Shack-level marketing expenses, repairs and maintenance, utilities and other operating expenses incidental to operating our Company-operated Shacks, such as non-perishable supplies, credit card fees and property insurance.


		Thirteen Weeks Ended

	Percentage change compared to prior year	15.3		%

Other operating expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 15.3% to $48.3 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by increased transaction costs associated with higher sales, increased marketing spend, as well as higher facilities costs, mainly professional services.

As a percentage of Shack sales, the increase in Other operating expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 was primarily due to increased marketing spend and delivery commissions associated with higher delivery sales.

Occupancy and Related Expenses

Occupancy and related expenses consist of Shack-level occupancy expenses (including rent, common area expenses and certain local taxes), and exclude occupancy expenses associated with unopened Shacks, which are recorded separately in Pre-opening costs.


		Thirteen Weeks Ended
(dollar amounts in thousands)		March 26 2025			March 27 2024

The increase was primarily due to the opening of 43 new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025, which contributed approximately $2.7 million, partially offset by the closure of nine Company-operated Shacks in fiscal 2024.

As a percentage of Shack sales, Occupancy and related expenses was flat for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025.

General and Administrative Expenses

	Percentage change compared to prior year	13.1		%

General and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 13.1% to $40.6 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased investments in marketing as well as increased wages and other team costs to support our Shack growth and strategic initiatives, partially offset by the absence of costs associated with the restatement of prior periods included in the fiscal 2023 Form 10-K and professional fees related to non-recurring matters.

As a percentage of Total revenue, the increase in General and administrative expenses for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 was primarily due to the aforementioned items and higher legal expenses compared to the prior year period, as well as sales deleverage.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense primarily consists of the depreciation of fixed assets, including leasehold improvements and equipment.

	Percentage change compared to prior year	4.3		%

Depreciation and amortization expense for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 4.3% to $26.5 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to incremental depreciation of capital expenditures related to the opening of 43 new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025, partially offset by a reduction in depreciation expense due to fully depreciated technology projects and assets compared to the prior year period.

Pre-Opening Costs

Pre-opening costs consist primarily of occupancy, manager and team member wages, cookware, travel and lodging costs for our opening training team and other supporting team members, marketing expenses, legal fees and inventory costs incurred prior to the opening of a Company-operated Shack. All such costs incurred prior to the opening of a Company-operated Shack are expensed in the period in which the expense was incurred. Pre-opening costs can fluctuate significantly from period to period, based on the number and timing of Company-operated Shack openings and the specific pre-opening costs incurred for each Company-operated Shack. Additionally, Company-operated Shack openings in new geographic markets may initially experience higher pre-opening costs than our established geographic markets, such as the New York City metropolitan area, where we have greater economies of scale and incur lower travel and lodging costs for our training team.

Pre-opening costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased 16.9% to $3.2 million versus the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased legal costs associated with accelerating development pipelines.

Impairments, loss on disposal of assets, and Shack closures

Impairments, loss on disposal of assets, and Shack closures primarily consists of the net book value of assets that have been retired which primarily consists of furniture, equipment and fixtures that were replaced in the normal course of business; impairment charges related to our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment, as well as operating and finance lease assets; and miscellaneous Shack closure expenses, including employee-related costs, cleaning, and sign removal costs.

Other income, net for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 decreased from $3.2 million to $3.0 million versus the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a change from investments in the prior year to cash equivalents in the current year, which have a lower interest rate.

Interest Expense

Interest expense generally consists of interest on the current portion of our liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement, imputed interest related to our financing equipment leases, amortization of deferred financing costs, interest and fees on our Revolving Credit Facility and amortization of debt issuance costs.

Income Tax Expense

We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings, and as a result, consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings. For U.S. federal and certain state and local tax purposes, SSE Holdings is classified as a partnership. Consequently, any taxable income or loss generated by SSE Holdings is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including us, on a pro rata basis. As a result, the Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes, along with applicable state and local taxes on its allocable share of any taxable income or loss of SSE Holdings. Additionally, the Company is taxed on any standalone income or loss generated by Shake Shack, Inc. The Company is also subject to withholding taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions.

	Percentage of Total revenue	0.2		%	0.2		%
	Dollar change compared to prior year	$	219
	Percentage change compared to prior year	42.3		%

Our effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 and March 27, 2024 were 14.0% and 19.0%, respectively. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in pre-tax income and the recognition of a windfall benefit related to equity-based compensation in the current quarter. Additionally, an increase in the Company's ownership interest in SSE Holdings increases its share of the taxable income of SSE Holdings. Our weighted-average ownership interest in SSE Holdings was 94.2% and 93.3%, respectively, for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 and March 27, 2024.

Net Income Attributable to Non-controlling Interests

We are the sole managing member of SSE Holdings and have the sole voting power in, and control the management of, SSE Holdings. Accordingly, we consolidate the financial results of SSE Holdings and report a non-controlling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, representing the portion of net income attributable to the other members of SSE Holdings. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of SSE Holdings provides that holders of LLC Interests may, from time to time, require SSE Holdings to redeem all or a portion of their LLC Interests for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. In connection with any redemption or exchange, we will receive a corresponding number of LLC Interests, increasing our total ownership interest in SSE Holdings. The weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income and other comprehensive income to Shake Shack Inc. and the non-controlling interest holders.


		Thirteen Weeks Ended

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests		$	268		$	174
	Percentage of Total revenue	0.1		%	0.1		%

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 increased to $0.3 million from $0.2 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased net results compared to the same period last year, partially offset by a decrease in the non-controlling interest holders' weighted average ownership, which was 5.8% and 6.7%, respectively for the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025 and March 27, 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Restaurant-level profit, Restaurant-level profit margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures").

Shake Shack Inc.

Table of Contents

Restaurant-Level Profit

Restaurant-level profit is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses which include Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses and Occupancy and related expenses.

How This Measure Is Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of our Shacks. Additionally, Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin are key metrics used internally by our management to develop internal budgets and forecasts, as well as assess the performance of our Shacks relative to budget and against prior periods. It is also used to evaluate team member compensation as it serves as a metric in certain of our performance-based team member bonus arrangements. We believe the presentation of Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that can provide meaningful insights to the underlying operating performance of our Shacks, as these measures depict the operating results that are directly impacted by our Shacks and exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the ongoing operations of our Shacks. It may also assist investors to evaluate our performance relative to peers of various sizes and maturities and provides greater transparency with respect to how our management evaluates our business, as well as our financial and operational decision-making.

Limitations of the Usefulness of this Measure

Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-level profit excludes certain costs, such as General and administrative expenses and Pre-opening costs, which are considered normal, recurring cash operating expenses and are essential to support the operation and development of our Shacks. Therefore, this measure may not provide a complete understanding of the operating results of our Company as a whole and Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin should be reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Restaurant-level profit to Income from operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is as follows.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is defined as Net income before Interest expense (net of interest income), Income tax expense and Depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA excluding equity-based compensation expense, Impairments, loss on disposal of assets, and Shack closures, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that we do not believe directly reflect our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring business operations.

How These Measures Are Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors' operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used internally by our management to develop internal budgets and forecasts and also serves as a metric in our performance-based equity incentive programs and certain of our bonus arrangements. We believe presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain normal recurring expenses. Therefore, these measures may not provide a complete understanding of our performance and should be reviewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to Net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share

Adjusted pro forma net income represents Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that we do not believe are directly related to our core operations and may not be indicative of our recurring business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards.

How These Measures Are Useful

When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that we believe are useful measures to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, we believe these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. driven by increases in our ownership of SSE Holdings, which are unrelated to our operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures

Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should not be considered alternatives to Net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating our performance, they do not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore do not provide a complete

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources and Uses of Cash

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash from operations, cash and cash equivalents on hand, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 26, 2025, we maintained a Cash and cash equivalents balance of $312.9 million. In March 2021, we issued 0% Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”), and received $243.8 million of proceeds, net of discounts. Refer to Note 6, Debt, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

On June 6, 2024, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the SEC which permits us to issue a combination of securities described in the prospectus in one or more offerings from time to time. To date, we have not experienced difficulty accessing the capital markets; however, future volatility in the capital markets may affect our ability to access those markets or increase the costs associated with issuing debt or equity instruments.

Our primary requirements for liquidity are to fund our working capital needs, operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures and general corporate needs. Our requirements for working capital are generally not significant because our guests pay for their food and beverage purchases in cash or on debit or credit cards at the time of the sale and we are able to sell many of our inventory items before payment is due to the supplier of such items. Our ongoing capital expenditures are principally related to opening new Shacks, existing Shack capital investments (both for remodels and maintenance), as well as investments in our corporate technology infrastructure to support our Shack Support Centers, Shake Shack locations, and digital strategy.

In addition, we are obligated to make payments to certain members of SSE Holdings under the Tax Receivable Agreement. As of March 26, 2025, such obligations totaled $248.1 million. Amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are contingent upon, among other things, (i) generation of future taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement and (ii) future changes in tax laws. If we do not generate sufficient taxable income in the aggregate over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the tax benefits, then we would not be required to make the related payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Although the amount of any payments that must be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be significant, the timing of these payments will vary and will generally be limited to one payment per member per year. The amount of such payments are also limited to the extent we utilize the related deferred tax assets. The payments that we are required to make will generally reduce the amount of overall cash flow that might have otherwise been available to us or to SSE Holdings, but we expect the cash tax savings we will realize from the utilization of the related deferred tax assets to fund the required payments.

We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents balances and cash from operations will be sufficient to fund our operating and finance lease obligations, capital expenditures, Tax Receivable Agreement obligations and working capital needs for at least the next 12 months.

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Operating Activities

For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities was $31.2 million compared to $30.7 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2024, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase was primarily driven by an $8.2 million improvement in net results after excluding non-cash charges partially offset by changes in working capital of $7.7 million. The changes in working capital included an increase in payments on lease liabilities due to the opening of 34 net new Company-operated Shacks between March 27, 2024 and March 26, 2025 and an increase in bonus payments, partially offset by a change in the timing and payments related to general business accruals.

Investing Activities

For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025, net cash used in investing activities was $29.4 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $11.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2024.The change was primarily driven by the absence of $44.4 million of proceeds from maturities of held-to-maturity marketable securities in the current period, compared to the prior year. This impact was partially offset by a $3.7 million reduction in capital expenditures.

Financing Activities

For the thirteen weeks ended March 26, 2025, net cash used in financing activities was $9.7 million compared to $6.4 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2024, an increase of $3.3 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in withholding taxes related to net settled equity awards.

Convertible Notes

In March 2021, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The Convertible Notes will mature on March 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased in certain circumstances. Upon conversion, we pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Class A common stock, at our election. Refer to Note 6, Debt, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information.

Revolving Credit Facility

In August 2019, we entered into a Revolving Credit Facility, which matures in March 2026 and permits borrowings up to $50.0 million, with the ability to increase available borrowings up to an additional $100.0 million, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility also permits the issuance of letters of credit upon our request of up to $15.0 million.

The Revolving Credit Facility requires us to comply with maximum net lease adjusted leverage and minimum fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as other customary affirmative and negative covenants. As of March 26, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants.

Contractual Obligations

Material contractual obligations arising in the normal course of business primarily consist of operating and finance lease obligations, long-term debt, liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement and purchase obligations. The timing and nature of these commitments are expected to have an impact on our liquidity and capital requirements in future periods. Refer to Note 6, Debt and Note 7, Leases, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 for additional information relating to our long-term debt and operating and financing leases.

Liabilities under the Tax Receivable Agreement include amounts to be paid to the non-controlling interest holders, assuming we will have sufficient taxable income over the term of the Tax Receivable Agreement to utilize the related tax benefits. Refer to Note 10, Income Taxes, in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1, for additional information relating to our Tax Receivable Agreement and related liabilities.

Purchase obligations include all legally binding contracts, including commitments for the purchase, construction or remodeling of real estate and facilities, firm minimum commitments for inventory purchases, equipment purchases, marketing-related contracts, software acquisition/license commitments and service contracts. The majority of our purchase obligations are due within the next 12 months.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations is based upon the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, which we believe to be reasonable, based on the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Variances in the estimates or assumptions used to actual experience could yield materially different accounting results. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the continued appropriateness of our accounting policies and resulting estimates to make adjustments we consider appropriate under the facts and circumstances. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2024.
