Operator

Greetings. Welcome to Shake Shack's First Quarter 2026 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions]. Please note, this conference is being recorded.

I will now turn the conference over to Alison Sternberg, Head of Investor Relations. Thank you. You may begin.

Alison Sternberg
Head of Investor Relations

Thank you, operator, and good morning, everyone. Joining me for Shake Shack's conference call is our CEO, Rob Lynch. During today's call, we will discuss non-GAAP financial measures, which we believe can be useful in evaluating our performance. The presentation of this additional information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures are available in our earnings release and the financial details section of our shareholder letter. Some of today's statements may be forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K filed on February 26, 2026, and our other SEC filings.

Any forward-looking statements represent our views only as of today, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements if our views change. By now, you should have access to our first quarter 2026 shareholder letter, which can be found at investor.shakeshack.com in
