Explanatory Note
On February 24, 2026, First Watch Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Form 8-K”) to report its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. A copy of the press release announcing such results and a copy of the supplemental information presentation describing such results were attached to the Initial Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 (the “Original Press Release”) and Exhibit 99.3 (the “Original Supplemental Information Presentation”), respectively, and incorporated by reference therein. This amendment to the Initial Form 8-K is being filed solely to correct a typographical error in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.3 to the Initial Form 8-K regarding the Company’s expectations for new restaurant openings for the fiscal year ending December 27, 2026. The language incorrectly reported that the Company’s outlook for new system-wide restaurants did not include three company-owned restaurant closures and should have stated that the outlook included those three company-owned restaurant closures. Except for the language regarding the Company’s expected new system-wide restaurants in the fiscal year ending December 27, 2026 in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.3, all information set forth in the Initial Form 8-K and corresponding exhibits remains unchanged.
Item 2.02 - Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 24, 2026, First Watch Restaurant Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued the Original Press Release announcing its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2025. A copy of the press release, as corrected, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Company also posted the Original Supplemental Information Presentation to its website at investors.firstwatch.com. A copy of the supplemental information presentation, as corrected, is attached as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
The information furnished in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.3, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information in this Current Report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date of this Current Report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing.
