  • Total revenues are estimated to be between $1.555 billion and $1.575 billion.
  • Same shop sales1 growth is estimated to be in the range of 2% to 4%.
  • Adjusted EBITDA3 is estimated to be between $265 million and $275 million, which assumes the impact of elevated coffee costs, partially offset by approximately 90 basis points of Adjusted SG&A leverage year-over-year.
  • Total system shop openings in 2025 are estimated to be at least 160. Capital expenditures are estimated to be between $240 million to $260 million.

Same shop sales is defined in the section “Select Financial Metrics”.

2

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

3

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted SG&A to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops that have been open a minimum of 15 months. AUVs are calculated by dividing the systemwide and company-operated shops net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations.

2

Same shop sales represents the estimated percentage change in year-over-year sales for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer as of the first day of the reporting period. Same shop sales can be impacted by changes in customer transaction counts and by changes in the per-ticket amounts. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table:

Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

4

Company-operated and franchise shops operating weeks are calculated based on the number operating days for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as shops opened as of the end date of the periods presented. The operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through 2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

5

Dutch Rewards is our digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Company-operated shops contribution (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)

Definition and/or calculation

Company-operated shops segment gross profit, before company-operated shops depreciation and amortization.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used by our management in making performance decisions without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. This is a standard metric used across our industry by investors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)

EBITDA — definition and/or calculation

Net income before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA — definition and/or calculation

Defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based compensation, expenses associated with equity offerings, executive transitions, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the Tax Receivable Agreements (TRAs), and organization realignment and restructuring costs.

Usefulness to management and investors

These non-GAAP measures are supplemental operating performance measures we believe facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors’ operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures presented provide investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted selling, general, and administrative (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)

Definition and/or calculation

Selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation expense, expenses associated with equity offerings, executive transitions, and organization realignment and restructuring costs.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe the non-GAAP measure presented provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because it excludes items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted net income

Definition and/or calculation

Net income, excluding equity-based compensation expense, expenses associated with equity offerings, executive transitions, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRAs, organization realignment and restructuring costs, and income tax effects of items excluded from net income.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.

Adjusted fully exchanged weighted-average shares of diluted common stock outstanding

Definition and/or calculation

Weighted-average shares of Class A and Class D common stock outstanding - basic with addition of dilutive impacts of restricted stock awards and units, as well as the assumed exchange of all of the Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units not held by Dutch Bros Inc. for Dutch Bros Inc. Class A common stock.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By adding in the assumed exchange of all of the outstanding Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units not held by Dutch Bros Inc. for Dutch Bros Inc. Class A common stock, we believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.

Adjusted net income per fully exchanged share of diluted common stock

Definition and/or calculation

Net income per share of Class A and Class D common stock - diluted, excluding per share impacts of equity-based compensation expense, expenses associated with equity offerings, executives transition costs, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRAs, organization realignment and restructuring costs, income tax effects of items excluded from net income, and removal of per share impacts of controlling and non-controlling interests.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all of the outstanding Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units not held by Dutch Bros Inc. for Dutch Bros Inc. Class A common stock and related net income adjustments, we believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.

Non-GAAP adjustments

Below are the definitions of the non-GAAP adjustments that are used in the calculation of our non-GAAP measures, as described above.

Equity-based compensation

Non-cash expenses related to the grant and vesting of stock awards, including restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in Dutch Bros Inc. to certain eligible employees.

Expenses associated with equity offerings

Costs incurred as a result of our equity offerings, including secondary offerings by our Sponsor. These costs include, but are not limited to, legal fees, consulting fees, tax fees, and accounting fees.

Executive transitions

Employee severance and related benefit costs, as well as sign-on bonus(es) for several executive level transitions occurring in 2022 and 2023, and amortized through the first quarter of 2024.

TRAs remeasurements

(Gain) loss impacts related to adjustments of our TRAs liabilities.

Organization realignment and restructuring

Fees and costs, including consulting, employee-related and other costs, in connection with our comprehensive initiative to develop and implement a long-term strategy involving changes to our organizational structure to support our growth. This initiative resulted in realignment activities that occurred in 2023, and restructuring activities that commenced in 2024, and were substantially completed in March 2025. Given this strategic initiative's magnitude and scope, we do not expect such costs will recur in the foreseeable future, and do not consider such costs reflective of the ongoing costs necessary to operate our business.

Dilutive effects of restricted stock awards and units

Addition of incremental shares of restricted stock awards and units calculated under the treasury stock method, when they are dilutive for the calculation of weighted-average shares on a non-GAAP basis.

Assumed exchange of weighted-average LLC interests for shares of Class A common stock

Weighted-average of all outstanding Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units not held by Dutch Bros Inc. that are assumed to be exchanged for Dutch Bros Inc. Class A common stock.

Controlling and non-controlling interest adjustments

Adjustments to controlling and non-controlling interests to align the numerator of the net income per share to the denominator, which assumes the full exchange of all outstanding Dutch Bros OpCo Class A common units not held by Dutch Bros Inc. for Dutch Bros Inc. Class A common stock.

Supplemental Reconciliations of U.S. GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals

Following are the reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to non-GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the reconciliations from U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, the ways management uses the non-GAAP measures, and the reasons why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.
