PLAY Q1 Earnings Call: Dave & Buster's Emphasizes Operational Fixes and Traffic Recovery
Arcade company Dave & Buster's (NASDAQ:PLAY) met Wall Street's revenue expectations in Q1 CY2025, but sales fell by 3.5% year on year to $567.7 million. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.76 per share was 25% below analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy PLAY? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Revenue: $567.7 million vs analyst estimates of $568.4 million (3.5% year-on-year decline, in line) Adjusted EPS: $0.76 vs analyst expectations of $1.01 (25% miss) Adjusted EBITDA: $136.1 million vs analyst estimates of $137.4 million (24% margin, 0.9% miss) Operating Margin: 11.1%, down from 14.5% in the same quarter last year Locations: 234 at quarter end, up from 224 in the same quarter last year Same-Store Sales fell 8.3% year on year (-3.8% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $894.5 million Dave & Buster's leadership attributed the company's recent performance to a return to core operational strategies and an effort to correct previous missteps across marketing, menu design, and store operations. Interim CEO Kevin Sheehan acknowledged that results remain below expectations but noted progress after refocusing on proven promotions, simplified messaging, and increased operator engagement. Management highlighted early momentum from reintroducing the Eat & Play combo, adjustments to menu pricing, and changes to the incentive structure for store managers. CFO Darin Harper explained that improvements in traffic, particularly on weekends and among higher-income guests, were the most significant contributors to the quarter's results. The leadership team maintained a cautious stance, emphasizing that recovery efforts are still in early phases and that further work is needed to restore sales and profitability. Looking ahead, management expressed optimism that recently launched initiatives, such as the Summer Pass and a renewed focus on guest experience, will support further gains in sales and traffic. Sheehan outlined a clear roadmap centered on continued execution of the back-to-basics plan, ongoing menu enhancements, and more targeted marketing investments. He stated, 'We are improving our execution every day and have a very clear roadmap of work to do to continue to drive improvements and meaningful growth in the business.' Harper added that capital spending will be more disciplined, with a focus on remodeling and high-return investments. Management acknowledged that it will take several more quarters to fully realize the impact of these strategies, noting the potential for further sequential improvement as new promotions, games, and incentive structures take hold. Management traced the quarter's results to improvements in traffic, promotional effectiveness, and operational changes, while noting that higher marketing and maintenance spending weighed on margins. Traffic-led improvement: Leadership identified a rebound in guest traffic—especially on weekends and among higher-income customers—as the primary driver of better results, with proprietary tracking showing increased awareness of new promotions and games. Eat & Play combo relaunch: The reintroduction of the Eat & Play combo, a bundled food and game offer, drove higher average check and double-digit customer opt-in rates, helping to boost both food and beverage sales without relying on deep discounting. Menu and pricing adjustments: Management addressed prior menu complexity and pricing issues by reskinning the menu for clarity and testing new configurations. Further menu enhancements, including the return of popular entrées, are scheduled for rollout after extensive operational testing. Remodel and incentive changes: Ongoing store remodels, particularly those with updated entertainment offerings, outperformed the broader system. A new store manager incentive plan tied to same-store sales growth was introduced, aiming to foster a stronger sense of ownership and drive local engagement. Marketing and maintenance investments: Higher marketing spend and renewed investment in game room maintenance were cited as temporary margin pressures, as management prioritized guest experience and promotional effectiveness to drive long-term traffic and revenue recovery. Dave & Buster's expects its ongoing operational changes, new product launches, and disciplined capital spending to drive gradual improvement in sales and profitability. Expanded game and promotional offerings: Management is rolling out new games and launching the Summer Pass, an unlimited gameplay and discount program, to attract repeat visits and increase guest engagement throughout the summer months. Early feedback on these initiatives has been encouraging, and the company believes they will help sustain positive sales momentum. Operational discipline and menu innovation: The company is focused on disciplined capital allocation, limiting total capital expenditures and refining its remodel strategy to maximize returns. Upcoming menu enhancements, including popular legacy dishes, are expected to further improve guest satisfaction and check averages. Incentive alignment and international growth: The new store manager incentive model is designed to align operator performance with company goals, particularly same-store sales growth. Additionally, Dave & Buster's plans to accelerate international franchising, with at least seven new locations expected over the next year, providing a capital-light avenue for expansion. In the coming quarters, the StockStory team will closely monitor (1) the pace and sustainability of traffic gains, especially during key promotional periods like summer, (2) the effectiveness of menu enhancements and targeted marketing spend in boosting guest satisfaction and check averages, and (3) progress on international franchising and remodel returns. Execution on these fronts will be critical to demonstrating a sustained recovery in sales and margins. Dave & Buster's currently trades at a forward P/E ratio of 12.1×.
