The restaurant chain reported an adjusted new loss of $17 million down from $26 million for fourth quarter 2019. Revenue was $555 million, down from $694 million fourth quarter 2019. CEO David Overton said that fourth quarter sales started strong, and at whcouncil.org stating, “The sales trend softened given the impact of additional dining room closures and capacity restrictions in response to rising COVID-19 cases in a number of our markets. However, our strong position in the off-premise channel helped support the business during this period,” he added. “Looking ahead, given our sales results so far in the first quarter, we believe that our concepts are well-positioned for a recovery as dining restrictions ease.”
