• Correction to 2025 10-K Sales Data

• Revised New Shack Sales Contribution

  The company corrected the dollar amount of the increase in Shack sales resulting from the opening of 45 new Company-operated Shacks. The figure was incorrectly stated as $218.5 million and has been revised to $68.3 million.

• Overall Sales Figure Unchanged

  Despite the significant correction to the contribution from new Shacks, the overall Shack sales for fiscal year 2025 remain at $1.4 billion, representing a 15.2% increase over the prior year.

This 8-K filing corrects a material financial error in Shake Shack's recently filed 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The original 10-K overstated the contribution of new Company-operated Shacks to fiscal year 2025 sales by over $150 million. While the total reported Shack sales of $1.4 billion remain unchanged, this correction significantly alters the understanding of the underlying drivers of that growth. The revised figures suggest a stronger performance from existing Shacks or other factors than initially implied, which could be viewed positively, but the need for such a substantial correction in a key financial metric shortly after the 10-K filing raises concerns about reporting accuracy.
