Jack in the Box Inc. reported a challenging Q4 2024, with revenue of $349.3 million, net income of $21.9 million and GAAP EPS of $1.13. Systemwide performance remained under pressure from wage-driven cost inflation and softer same-store sales, as reflected in Jack in the Box segment SSS of -2.1% for the quarter and a 4.8% price uplift offset by traffic declines. Despite near-term headwinds, the company advanced its transformation agenda, underscoring a robust digital initiative and aggressive development pipeline. Management highlighted strong new-restaurant openings across whitespace markets and a clear push toward an asset-light model through Del Taco refranchising, with 80% now franchised and continued focus on margin-enhancing initiatives.
