| Measure | 3 months toSep 23, 2026 | 3 months toSep 24, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $1.5B | $1.3B | +9.37% |
| Profit | $113.3M | $99.5M | +13.87% |
| Profit per share | $2.64 | $2.17 | +21.66% |
| Free Cash Flow | $105.7M | $62.2M | +69.94% |
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.
Brinker International, Inc. has no earnings call transcript available.
“Chili’s delivered its 22nd consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth, up +10%, lapping a +21% from last year and a +14% from 2024 for a 3 year cumulative comp of +52%,”

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
