Figures through September 27, 2026, from the 10-Q filed November 5, 2026
| Measure | 3 months toSep 27, 2026 | 3 months toSep 28, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $454.8M | $508.2M | -10.49% |
| Profit | $3.1M | $4.7M | -33.35% |
| Profit per share | $0.09 | $0.13 | -30.77% |
| Free Cash Flow | $9.7M | $22.7M | -57.05% |
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.
“Papa Johns is entering the next phase of its transformation with Unbox Better, a plan built around two priorities: strengthening our brand by giving customers more compelling reasons to choose Papa Johns and strengthening our system to consistently deliver on the expectations we create,”

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.
Papa John’s International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PZZA) opened its doors in 1984 with one goal in mind: BETTER INGREDIENTS. BETTER PIZZA.® Papa Johns believes that using high-quality ingredients leads to superior quality pizzas. Its original dough is made of only six ingredients and is fresh, never frozen. Papa Johns tops its pizzas with real cheese made from mozzarella, pizza sauce made with vine-ripened tomatoes that go from vine to can in the same day and meat free of fillers. It was the first national pizza delivery chain to announce the removal of artificial flavors and synthetic colors from its entire food menu. Papa Johns is co-headquartered in Atlanta, Ga. and Louisville, Ky. and is the world’s third-largest pizza delivery company with approximately 6,000 restaurants in approximately 50 countries and territories.
