Biglari Capital has responded critically to Cracker Barrel's Q1 2025 preliminary earnings. The company's adjusted EBITDA margin was 5.4%, down 70 bps from Q1 2023 and similar to Q1 2024, which was part of Cracker Barrel's historically worst year. Despite plans to open new stores and invest $160-180 million in capital expenditures, management maintained its FY 2025 guidance, projecting revenue and adjusted EBITDA to be similar to or lower than FY 2024. Biglari Capital expressed concerns about the effectiveness of Cracker Barrel's $700 million transformation plan and urged shareholders to vote for board changes.
