Forward-Looking Statements

This press release and the related conference call, webcast and presentation contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial outlook for the fiscal year 2026, including our expectations regarding the number of Net New Restaurant Openings, Same-Store Sales Change, Restaurant-Level Profit Margin and Adjusted EBITDA; our plans, priorities, initiatives and strategies, including with respect to SG Rewards, the execution and expected results of our Sweet Growth Transformation Plan, our expected geographic expansion of wraps products, and our continued use and deployment of Infinite Kitchen technology; customer behavior; and our expectations regarding our costs and expenses, including due to the effects of tariffs, as well as any future pricing or other actions taken in an effort to mitigate our costs and expenses. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “are confident that,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all.

Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management as of that time with respect to future events. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control, that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release and the related conference call may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include our ability to compete effectively; uncertainties regarding changes in economic conditions and macroeconomic, geopolitical, and other major events, which may include pandemics and disease outbreaks, and the customer behavior trends they drive; our ability to open new restaurants; our ability to effectively identify and secure appropriate sites for new restaurants; our ability to expand into new markets and the risks such expansion presents; the impact of severe weather conditions or natural disasters on our restaurant sales and results of operations; the profitability of new restaurants we may open, and the impact of any such openings on sales at our existing restaurants; our ability to preserve the value of our brand; food safety and foodborne illness concerns; our ability to achieve profitability in the future; our ability to purchase, deploy, and maintain the proprietary kitchen automation technology, known as the Infinite Kitchen, in a timely and cost-effective manner; the effect on our business of increases in labor

costs, labor shortages, and difficulties in hiring, training, rewarding and retaining a qualified workforce; our ability to identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions; the effect on our business of governmental regulation and changes in employment laws; the effect on our business of expenses and potential management distraction associated with litigation; potential privacy and cybersecurity incidents, the effect on our business of restrictions and costs imposed by privacy, data protection, and data security laws, regulations, and industry standards; and our ability to enforce our rights in our intellectual property. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations is included in our SEC reports, including in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Additional information regarding these and other factors that could affect the Company’s results is included in the Company’s SEC filings, which may be obtained by visiting the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
