Wendy’s reports $540.6M in Q1 revenue, exceeding expectations as global sales decline 5.5% year-over-year.
Wendy’s first-quarter revenue reached $540.6M, up 3.3% year-over-year and $22.63M above estimates. Non-GAAP earnings per share matched forecasts at $0.10.
Global systemwide sales totaled $3.2 billion, reflecting a 5.5% decline from the prior year. International systemwide sales, however, grew 6.0%, offsetting some of the weakness.
The company reaffirmed its outlook for 2026, signaling confidence in long-term performance despite mixed quarterly results.
