Noodles and Co Posts Wider Loss in Q2
Noodles Co (NASDAQ:NDLS), a fast-casual dining chain specializing in globally inspired noodle dishes, reported earnings for Q2 2025 on August 13, 2025. It missed analyst estimates for both GAAP earnings and revenue. While GAAP revenue was $126.4 million, below the estimate of $131.6 million. These results compare to a non-GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.05 and revenue of $127.4 million in Q2 2024. The quarter showed modest system-wide comparable restaurant sales growth of 1.5%, but also reflected sustained margin pressure, higher costs, more restaurant closures, and increased losses. Overall, the period pointed to ongoing business strain and prompted management to lower its full-year outlook.
