What Chefs' Warehouse, Inc. reported on July 29, 2026

The quarter ending March 27, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.

These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.

Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.

What management said

“Second quarter 2026 displayed strong growth in both revenue and profitability. Our regional Chefs’ Warehouse teams continued to deliver excellent execution across markets and product categories. We are driving market share gains via growth in product penetration, case volume and unique customers, combined with on-going improvement in operational efficiency to provide customers with the highest quality ingredients and flexible on-time delivery. Our Middle East operations are improving gradually as we enter the seasonally slower summer period. During May and June, our business located there operated at approximately 94% of prior year and this trend has remained fairly steady through recent weeks”
