Computed values are grepcent-computed from the verified facts above and may differ from ratios the company itself reports. Free cash flow = operating cash flow − capital expenditures. Net margin = net income ÷ revenue. Operating margin = operating income ÷ revenue. Revenue YoY = FY2025 revenue ÷ FY2024 revenue − 1 (consecutive fiscal years only). ROE = net income ÷ period-end stockholders' equity.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q"), and audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC on March 4, 2026. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors outside the Company’s control, as well as assumptions, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, and intentions. Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those described under the sections entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” above and “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, in the Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC.

Overview

We are a high-growth operator of guest-centric, drive-thru coffee bars offering premium caffeinated beverages and an elevated in-store experience crafted by our engaging baristas. Black Rock Coffee Bar was founded in 2008 in Beaverton, Oregon, by our co-founders Daniel Brand and Jeff Hernandez. What started as a single 160 square foot coffee bar in 2008 is now one of the fastest growing beverage companies in the United States by revenue and the largest fully company-owned coffee retailer in the country, with 200 locations spanning seven states as of June 30, 2026, from the Pacific Northwest to Texas.

We were founded as a drive-thru only concept and evolved to include engaging seating areas, which we call “lobbies.” All of our locations include efficient drive-thrus and approximately 75% of our locations include lobbies as of June 30, 2026. We expect most of our new locations to include both drive-thrus and lobbies as we continue to grow. Our modern, inviting store formats—paired with a robust digital platform—allow us to deliver a dynamic and multi-faceted guest experience.

Driven by a passion for Connection, Caffeine, and Community, Black Rock is a platform to do well by our baristas, guests, and the communities we serve. With a relentless focus on people and excellence, our culture has been key to our success.

These results demonstrate the strength and consistency of our model and highlight our genuine connection to our guests across diverse markets.

Recent Highlights

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we demonstrated another strong quarter supported by total revenue growth, sustained Same Store Sales Growth, and an expansion of our Store-Level Profit Margin. Performance for the quarter reflected progress against our strategic priorities, including deepening customer engagement, strengthening our people-oriented culture, and continuing to expand our marketing presence.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, we opened 10 net new stores across Colorado, Texas, Arizona, and Idaho, bringing our total store count to 200. As a result, Total revenue grew 25.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Total revenue also saw contribution from 4.2% Same Store Sales Growth, supported by menu price increases and check growth during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025, partially offset by softer transaction volume for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

Income from operations margin remained flat at 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025. Further, Store-Level Profit Margin increased to 30.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 from 29.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in Store-Level Profit Margin was primarily driven by operational discipline, cost management and improving unit-level economics.

Future results will depend on our ability to continue expanding our store footprint and effectively manage external factors that may influence operating performance, including macroeconomic conditions affecting guest demand, commodity and wage inflation, and potential supply chain constraints.

Key Performance Measures and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In assessing the performance of our business, in addition to considering a variety of measures in accordance with GAAP, our management team also considers a variety of key performance measures and non-GAAP financial measures. The key performance measures and non-GAAP financial measures used by our management to evaluate our performance are: Total Stores (End of Period), Net New Store Openings, Same Store Sales Growth, Average Unit Volume, Store revenue, Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Total store operating weeks.

We believe that these measures provide useful information to users of our financial statements in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures 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. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

The following table sets forth our key performance measures for the periods presented:

(1)Same Store Sales Growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base, which we define as stores open for 18 months or longer.

(2)See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and reconciliation of each measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(3)The Company does not consider income (loss) from operations, income (loss) from operations margin, net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin to be key performance measures but has included such metrics in this table to provide the most directly comparable GAAP metric to Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Net New Store Openings

Net New Store Openings reflect the number of stores opened during a particular reporting period, net of any permanent store closures during the same period. Before we open new stores, we incur pre-opening costs as described below. The opening of new stores has been and is expected to continue to be the primary driver of revenue growth. The total number of new store openings has, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations.

Same Store Sales Growth

Same Store Sales Growth is defined as the period-over-period sales comparison for stores in our comparable store base, which we define as stores that have been open for 18 months or longer. We use Same Store Sales Growth to assess the performance of existing stores that have been open for 18 months or longer, as the impact of new store openings is excluded.

As of June 30, 2026 and 2025, there were 149 stores and 125 stores, respectively, in our comparable store base.

Table of Contents

Average Unit Volume

AUV represents total trailing twelve-month store revenue of operating stores in the comparable store base, divided by the number of stores in the comparable store base. We use AUV to assess and understand changes in spending patterns and overall performance. AUV is impacted by changes in guest traffic and the number of newer stores that are included in calculating AUVs.

Store revenue

Store revenue represents all revenue attributable to our stores in the specified period. We use store revenue to evaluate and track the aggregate beverage and food sales in our stores. Several factors affect store revenue in any given period, including number of stores open, same store sales and guest traffic.

Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin

Store-Level Profit represents store revenue in the specific period less beverage, food and packaging, labor and related expenses, occupancy and related expenses, and other store operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and pre-opening costs in the period.

Store-Level Profit Margin represents Store-Level Profit as a percentage of store revenue. We use Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin in our evaluation of the performance and profitability of each store.

We use Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of Store-Level Profit to income from operations and Store-Level Profit Margin to income from operations margin.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including transaction costs associated with our IPO, capital restructuring costs, equity-based compensation, gain (loss) on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRA, certain litigation costs, net, and other non-core costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total revenue. We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to net loss margin.

Initial Public Offering and Related Transactions

Black Rock Coffee Bar, Inc. was originally incorporated as a Delaware corporation on May 2, 2025 and in June 2025 re-domiciled to be incorporated in Texas for the purposes of facilitating an initial public offering. On September 15, 2025, we completed our IPO in which we issued and sold 16,911,764 shares of Class A common stock (including 2,205,882 shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares) at an offering price of $20.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $306.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the IPO to: (i) purchase 3,857,642 newly issued LLC Units for approximately $71.8 million directly from Black Rock OpCo; and (ii) purchase 13,054,122 LLC Units from certain Continuing Equity Owners for approximately $242.8 million, each at a price per unit equal to the IPO price per share of Class A common stock less the underwriting discount.

For additional information related to our IPO and the Transactions, see "The Transactions" in the forepart of this Form 10-K, “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—IPO and Related Transactions” in this Part II, Item 7 as well as Note 1, Note 7 and Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

Recent Highlights

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we demonstrated strong execution and meaningful acceleration across the business, supported by Total revenue growth, sustained Same Store Sales Growth, and an expansion of our Store-Level Profit Margin. Performance for the year reflected progress against our strategic priorities, including driving sales through menu innovation and supporting operational execution across our stores.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, we met our stated target of at least 20% new unit growth, opening 32 net new stores, which broadened our presence in existing growth markets. As a result, Total revenue grew 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. Total revenue also saw significant contribution from 10.1% Same Store Sales Growth, supported by healthy traffic and strong guest engagement.

Income from operations margin decreased to 0.4% for the year ended December 31, 2025 from 3.7% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Further, Store-Level Profit Margin increased to 29.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025 from 27.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in Store-Level Profit Margin was primarily driven by operational discipline, cost management and improving unit-level economics.

Future results will depend on our ability to continue expanding our store footprint and effectively manage external factors that may influence operating performance, including macroeconomic conditions affecting guest demand, commodity and wage inflation, and potential supply chain constraints.

Key Performance Measures and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In assessing the performance of our business, in addition to considering a variety of measures in accordance with GAAP, our management team also considers a variety of key performance measures and non-GAAP financial measures. The key performance measures and non-GAAP financial measures used by our management to evaluate our performance are: Total Stores (End of Period), Net New Store Openings, Same Store Sales Growth, Average Unit Volume, Store revenue, Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Total store operating weeks. Following changes to how management evaluates the business and our performance, we have added the new key performance measure of Total store operating weeks beginning with this Annual Report.

We believe that these measures provide useful information to users of our financial statements in understanding and evaluating our results of operations in the same manner as our management team. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures 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.

(1)Same Store Sales Growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base, which we define as stores open for 18 months or longer.

(2)See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and reconciliation of each measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.

(3)The Company does not consider income (loss) from operations, income (loss) from operations margin, net loss or net loss margin to be key performance measures but has included such metrics in this table to provide the most directly comparable GAAP metric to Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.

Net New Store Openings

Net New Store Openings reflect the number of stores opened during a particular reporting period, net of any permanent store closures during the same period. Before we open new stores, we incur pre-opening costs as described below. The opening of new stores has been and is expected to continue to be the primary driver of revenue growth. The total number of new store openings has, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations.

Same Store Sales Growth

Same Store Sales Growth is defined as the period-over-period sales comparison for stores in our comparable store base, which we define as stores that have been open for 18 months or longer. We use Same Store Sales Growth to assess the performance of existing stores that have been open for 18 months or longer, as the impact of new store openings is excluded.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 137 stores and 115 stores, respectively, in our comparable store base.

Average Unit Volume

AUV represents total trailing twelve-month store revenue of operating stores in the comparable store base, divided by the number of stores in the comparable store base. We use AUV to assess and understand changes in spending patterns and overall performance. AUV is impacted by changes in guest traffic and the number of newer stores that are included in calculating AUVs.

Store revenue

Store revenue represents all revenue attributable to our stores in the specified period. We use store revenue to evaluate and track the aggregate beverage and food sales in our stores. Several factors affect store revenue in any given period, including number of stores open, same store sales and guest traffic.
