Papa John’s International Inc. reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, with total revenues reaching $518 million, representing a 1% increase compared to the same period last year. The revenue growth was primarily driven by higher commissary and advertising fund contributions, although revenues from company-owned restaurants declined. Despite the revenue increase, Papa John’s same-store sales fell by 3%. The company posted an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.36, while diluted EPS stood at $0.27. The decline in profits was attributed to increased spending on marketing and loyalty programs. Following the earnings release, Papa John’s shares rose by 3.6% in pre-market trading.
