Business
We operate in a single segment for reporting purposes and generate revenues by charging royalties, advertising fees, and franchise fees to our franchisees and by operating a number of our own restaurants.
Wingstop Inc.: Revenue grew 11.4% to $697M from $626M. Net income grew 60.3% to $174M from $109M. Free cash flow declined 0.1% to $106M from $106M. Operating margin contracted 73 bps to 25.73%. Wingstop Inc.'s annual comparison also shows stock compensation grew faster than revenue; the balance-sheet screen falls in the distress range and requires business-model context.
