Chipotle Mexican Grill announced its second-quarter 2025 financial results on July 23, 2025, reporting a 3% increase in net sales to $3.06 billion, driven by new restaurant openings. However, comparable restaurant sales shrank by 4%, a steeper decline than the 0.4% in Q1, with transactions decreasing by 4.9%.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $0.32, down from $0.33 in the prior year, with adjusted diluted EPS at $0.33. Restaurant-level margin stood at 27.4%, a 150 basis point decline year-over-year. The company opened 61 new restaurants, including 47 Chipotlanes, bringing its global total to 3,839.
Chipotle lowered its full-year 2025 comparable restaurant sales growth forecast to flat, down from its prior projection of low single digits. CEO Scott Boatwright noted that May was a challenging month due to consumer sentiment, but sales trends reaccelerated in June and continued into July, attributed to summer promotions and the Adobo Ranch dip launch. The company reiterated its long-term targets of mid-single-digit comparable sales growth and over $4 million in Average Unit Volumes.
