El Pollo Loco Holdings, Inc. is scheduled to report next on October 29, 2026. The date comes from Nasdaq’s earnings calendar, and companies sometimes move it.
The quarter ending July 1, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.
| Measure | 3 months toJul 1, 2026 | 3 months toJun 25, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $129.6M | $125.8M | +2.97% |
| Profit | $12.8M | $7.1M | +80.20% |
| Profit per share | $0.43 | $0.24 | +79.17% |
| Free Cash Flow | $23.3M | $9.1M | +155.53% |
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.
“We are pleased with the continued momentum reflected in our second quarter results, with systemwide same-store sales growth of 3.9% and restaurant-level margins of 19.5%,”
