1 First Quarter 2025 Shareholder Letter


 
“Over the past year, our team has worked to evolve into a performance-based organization that can leverage the scale that we are building with each new Shack, while continuing to put our team members and guests first. This evolution has resulted in better guest service, operational improvements and productivity, culinary innovation and menu strategy, and the foundation of a brand marketing model. We are investing in these new capabilities so that our business will be a launchpad for growth when the macro headwinds shift. From the operations scorecard system that is driving improvements in our operating KPIs to culinary innovation such as our recent Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake, we are embracing new ways of doing things to accelerate our growth,” said Chief Executive Officer, Rob Lynch. “We grew Total revenue, Restaurant-level profit, and Adjusted EBITDA by double-digits in the quarter, driven by strong new unit openings and execution against our operational strategies. While we faced more than 400 bps of traffic pressure in the quarter from weather and broader consumer pressures as well as the long duration of our Burger LTO, we still expanded our Restaurant- level profit margin by 120 bps year-over-year. This was a function of our new labor model as well as new strategies around food & paper and people management in our Shacks that we expect to drive continued improvements in 2025 and beyond,” said Chief Financial Officer, Katie Fogertey.

TO O U R S H A R E H O L D E R S We are proud of our strong first quarter results. Against a challenging weather and macro industry backdrop, year-over-year we grew Total revenue by 10.5%, Restaurant-level profits by 17.3% with 120 bps of Restaurant-level profit margin expansion, and Adjusted EBITDA by 13.5%. This marks our 17th consecutive quarter of same-Shack sales growth, with double-digit increases in both Total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. We continued our improvements in key operational metrics, with faster service and higher guest satisfaction scores, setting a strong foundation for future success. Our guests’ love for Shake Shack is as real as our ingredients. To our guests, the feeling is mutual. One of the greatest indicators of the global untapped demand for Shake Shack remains the warm and strong reception from our guests when we open a new Shack. In the first quarter, we opened 11 new Shacks system-wide and we even hit a record high opening day sales at a recent new suburban drive- thru in the US. This is a clear sign of the enduring power of our brand. Our recent licensed openings in Canada, Israel and Japan have also been strong. Our operational improvements are reverberating through our four walls. We grew our Restaurant-level profit by nearly double the rate that we grew Shack sales and significantly higher than our comp base sales. The newly implemented scorecard system is driving performance, and we are building our leadership bench with excellence as we look ahead to future Shack openings. We are accelerating innovation with our new Transformation Office and our recently opened Kitchen Innovation Lab. Here, we are testing new equipment, processes and layouts, all so that our team members have more time to focus on serving our guests without sacrificing the quality of our food. Despite macro uncertainties, we remain focused on creating durable value for all our stakeholders through initiatives to drive same-Shack sales including strengthening our culinary and calendar strategy and driving frequency. In addition, we are optimizing our operations, opening new Shacks with excellence at lower build costs, and growing our Licensed business. Our 2025 Strategic Priorities set the stage for our guidance that in each of the next three years, we will deliver at least 50 bps of Restaurant-level profit margin expansion and generate double digit Total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth.

We continue to see strong sales performance from new Shack openings as well as in our North America and EMEA licensed Shacks, somewhat offset by a low single-digit percentage headwind from unfavorable foreign exchange rates. In the first quarter, we expanded our partnership with Delta and began serving Shake Shack out of four additional domestic airports. Today, we offer meals through pre-selection via Delta’s First-Class menu on qualifying domestic flights originating from Boston-Logan Airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Los Angeles International Airport, New York-LaGuardia, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. We have grown our licensed business to 256 Shake Shack locations operated by our licensed partners in 20 markets and continue to expect to open approximately 35-40 licensed Shacks in FY2025. 1Q24 2Q24 3Q24 4Q24 1Q25 7 Fiscal February 2025 Gijang Outlet, Busan, South Korea Pudong Airport, Shanghai, China López Mateos, Guadalajara, Mexico Yorkdale Mall, Toronto, Canada Pudong Airport, Shanghai Big Glilot, Israel Yorkdale Mall, Canada Boston-Logan Airport Fiscal March 2025 Fiscal April 2025 BIG FASHION Glilot, Ramat Hasharon, Israel Angola Roadway, New York, USA Hiroshima Station, Hiroshima, Japan Expanded Delta partnership to four more domestic airports Antalya Airport, Antalya, Turkey John F.

We grew comparable Shack sales in nearly two thirds of our markets, led by the South (Atlanta, Houston, Miami and Orlando) where 1Q weather was milder. However, this had a larger impact on our New York City, Los Angeles, and Mid-Atlantic (including Washington, D.C.) Shacks. Traffic was down 4.6%, with these select markets and regions representing ~75% of our negative traffic, as well as broader headwinds from a longer duration of our burger LTO. Price / mix grew 4.8%. For the quarter, we had approximately 4% in-Shack menu price and approximately 5% blended menu price across all channels. We exited the quarter with approximately 2% menu price for in-Shack and 3% menu price overall.

Restaurant-level costs in the first quarter (covered in more detail on the following pages) were as follows: • Food and paper costs were 27.8% of Shack sales. • Labor and related expenses were 28.0% of Shack sales. • Other operating expenses were 15.6% of Shack sales. • Occupancy and related expenses were 7.9% of Shack sales. We delivered strong year-over-year Restaurant-level profit margin expansion of 120 bps in the first quarter largely driven by the success of our strategic initiatives even as sales were pressured. Our results provide us confidence in our long-term margin outlook and expectation to deliver at least 110 bps of Restaurant-level margin expansion in 2025. 1.

Fiscal second quarter and fiscal year 2025 guidance is derived from preliminary, unaudited results based on information currently available to the Company. We factor in an assumption around a degree of pressure on the consumer spending landscape and ongoing inflationary headwinds and do not reflect any change in the current environment or outsized impacts from potential tariffs. While the Company believes these estimates are meaningful, they could differ from the actual results that the Company ultimately reports in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for fiscal quarter ending June 25, 2025 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. F I N A N C I A L O U T L O O K 12 1. G&A includes $20m of the $22m total Equity-based compensation. 2. These targets reflect metrics for fiscal years 2025, 2026 and 2027.

D E F I N I T I O N S 15 The following definitions, and definitions on the subsequent pages, apply to terms as used in this shareholder letter: "Shack sales" is defined as the aggregate sales of food, beverages, gift card breakage income, and Shake Shack branded merchandise at Company-operated Shacks and excludes sales from licensed Shacks. “System-wide sales” is an operating measure and consists of sales from Company-operated Shacks and licensed Shacks. The Company does not recognize the sales from licensed Shacks as revenue. Of these amounts, revenue is limited to licensing revenue based on a percentage of sales from licensed Shacks, as well as certain up-front fees, such as territory fees and opening fees. "Same-Shack sales" or “SSS” represents Shack sales for the comparable Shack base, which is defined as the number of Company- operated Shacks open for 24 full fiscal months or longer. For consecutive days that Shacks were temporarily closed, the comparative period was also adjusted. "Average weekly sales" or “AWS” is calculated by dividing total Shack sales by the number of operating weeks for all Shacks in operation during the period. For Shacks that are not open for the entire period, fractional adjustments are made to the number of operating weeks open such that it corresponds to the period of associated sales. “Adjusted pro forma net income," a non-GAAP measure, represents Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring and other items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company’s recurring business operations. “EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), Income tax expense, and Depreciation and amortization expense. “Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based compensation expense, Impairments, loss on disposal of assets and Shack closures, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company's recurring business operations. “Adjusted EBITDA margin,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), Income tax expense and Depreciation and amortization expense, which also excludes equity-based compensation expense, Impairments, loss on disposal of assets and Shack closures, amortization of cloud-based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company's recurring business operations, as a percentage of Total revenue. “Restaurant-level profit,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses, including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses, and Occupancy and related expenses. "Restaurant-level profit margin," a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses, including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses and Occupancy and related expenses as a percentage of Shack sales.

R E S TA U R A N T - L E V E L P R O F I T D E F I N I T I O N S 20 Restaurant-Level Profit “Restaurant-level profit,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses, including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses, and Occupancy and related expenses. Restaurant-level Profit Margin "Restaurant-level profit margin," a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less Shack-level operating expenses, including Food and paper costs, Labor and related expenses, Other operating expenses and Occupancy and related expenses as a percentage of Shack sales. How This Measure Is Useful When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of its Shacks. Additionally, Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin are key metrics used internally by management to develop internal budgets and forecasts, as well as assess the performance of its Shacks relative to budget and against prior periods. It is also used to evaluate employee compensation as it serves as a metric in certain performance-based employee bonus arrangements. The Company believes presentation of Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin provides investors with a supplemental view of its operating performance that can provide meaningful insights to the underlying operating performance of the Shacks, as these measures depict the operating results that are directly impacted by the Shacks and exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the ongoing operations of the Shacks. It may also assist investors to evaluate the Company's performance relative to peers of various sizes and maturities and provides greater transparency with respect to how management evaluates the business, as well as the financial and operational decision-making. Limitations of the Usefulness of this Measure Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-level profit excludes certain costs, such as General and administrative expenses and Pre-opening costs, which are considered normal, recurring cash operating expenses and are essential to support the operation and development of the Company's Shacks. Therefore, this measure may not provide a complete understanding of the Company's operating results as a whole and Restaurant-level profit and Restaurant-level profit margin should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of Restaurant-level profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth on next slide.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), Income tax expense and Depreciation and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as EBITDA (as defined above) excluding equity-based compensation expense, Impairments, loss on disposal of assets and Shack closures, amortization of cloud- based software implementation costs, as well as certain non-recurring items that the Company does not believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of the Company's recurring business operations. How These Measures Are Useful When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors' operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used internally by management to develop internal budgets and forecasts and also serves as a metric in its performance-based equity incentive programs and certain bonus arrangements. The Company believes presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA provides investors with a supplemental view of the Company's operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of its ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of the Company's ongoing operating performance. Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude certain normal recurring expenses. Therefore, these measures may not provide a complete understanding of the Company's performance and should be reviewed in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share Adjusted pro forma net income represents Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non- recurring items that the Company does not believe are directly related to its core operations and may not be indicative of recurring business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards. How These Measures Are Useful When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. driven by increases in its ownership of SSE Holdings, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance. Limitations of the Usefulness of These Measures Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings (loss) per fully exchanged and diluted share should not be considered alternatives to Net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the Net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results.
