Chuy’s reports Q4 adjusted EPS 27c, consensus 21c

Reports Q4 revenue $104.1M, consensus $102.82M. Steve Hislop, president and CEO of Chuy‘s Holdings, Inc. stated, "Our top line momentum carried into the fourth quarter with solid comparable sales growth across all periods. Our first foray into limited-time offerings, through Chuy’s Knockouts, drove incremental traffic to the brand and provides us a strong foundation for continued innovation on the platform going forward. On profitability, we were able to maintain restaurant-level operating margin 270bps above pre-pandemic levels despite double-digit commodity inflation and high-single-digit labor inflation. Overall, these strong results wouldn’t be possible without our team members doing what we do best every day – providing our customers with the unique Chuy’s experience through high-quality, made-from-scratch food and drinks, offered at an affordable value."
