BT BRANDS REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
BT Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBD and BTBDW), today reported its financial results for the first quarter, the thirteen weeks ending March 30, 2025.
Including our 41.7% ownership of Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern with five locations (OTCMarkets: BDVB), BT Brands currently operates a total of fifteen restaurants comprising the following:
Seven Burger Time fast-food restaurants, located in the North Central region of the United States, collectively ('BTND');
Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern, Inc., a 41.7% owned affiliate, operates five Bagger Dave's restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana ('Bagger Dave's');
Keegan's Seafood Grille in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida ('Keegan's');
Pie In The Sky Coffee and Bakery in Woods Hole, Massachusetts ('PIE').
Schnitzel Haus restaurant, a fine-dining German-themed restaurant located in Hobe Sound, near Stuart, Florida
Highlights and recent activities include:
Total revenues for the 2025 period increased 1.3% over 2024. The increase was achieved on two fewer operating locations from 2024;
Operating loss for the quarter improved to a loss of $292,000 from an operating loss of $631,000 in 2024;
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the quarter was $329,900, or $.05 per share, an improvement of $.02 per share from the first quarter of 2024;
Restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter improved significantly to $315,000 from a negative EBITDA of $15,672 in 2024. Our equity in the first quarter loss of our Bagger Dave's affiliate was $131,400 compared to a loss of $94,500 in 2024;
We ended the quarter with $3.8 million in total cash and short-term investments.
Gary Copperud, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said, 'The first quarter is typically slower for our Burger Time and Pie in the Sky businesses; that said, we were pleased to see improvement in our operating performance during the first quarter of 2025 reflecting a number of steps to reduce costs and improve performance in all of our businesses including our decision to close two underperforming locations. As we look forward to the balance of 2025, we are focused on continuing our efforts to improve restaurant profitability. Kenneth Brimmer, CFO, added that while we are not giving specific earnings guidance for the year, our current plan shows a return to overall profitability for fiscal 2025.
Fiscal 2025 Outlook: Because of the uncertain nature of restaurant performance and the evolving character of our Company and because of continuing uncertainty surrounding the overall economy as consumers have become more price sensitive, impacts of supply chain constraints, and inflationary pressures relating to many aspects of our business, the Company is not at this point, providing a financial forecast for fiscal 2025.
About BT Brands Inc.: BT Brands, Inc. (BTBD and BTBDW) owns and operates a fast-food restaurant chain called Burger Time in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota. In addition, the Company owns the Pie In The Sky Coffee and Bakery in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Florida, Keegan's Seafood Grille near Clearwater, Florida and Schnitzel Haus in Hobe Sound, Florida.

Currency Exchange International Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

TORONTO, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Currency Exchange International, Corp. (the 'Group' or 'CXI') (TSX: CXI; OTCQX: CURN), today reported net income of $1.98 million for the second quarter of 2025, 291% higher than the prior year (all figures are in U.S. dollars except where otherwise indicated). This 2025 reported net income reflected $2.7 million net income from continuing operations and a net loss of $0.7 million from Exchange Bank of Canada, the Company's Canadian subsidiary which was classified as discontinued operations effective the second quarter of 2025. These results include restructuring charges of $0.2 million, pre-tax, related to discontinued operations in Canada and certain one-time charges of $0.1 million, pre-tax. Excluding these items, the Group's adjusted net income1 increased by 18% compared to the prior year and adjusted diluted earnings per share1 ('EPS') was 24% higher than the prior year. The completed condensed interim consolidated financial statements and management's discussion and analysis ('MD&A') can be found on the Group's SEDAR profile at Q2, 2025 Reported Results EBITDA $4.9 million Up 10% YoY Net Income $1.98 million Up 291% YoY Diluted EPS $0.31Up 288% YoY Annualized ROE 5% Down 50% YoY Q2, 2025 Adjusted Results1 EBITDA1 $5.1 million Up 15% YoY Net Income1 $2.3 millionUp 18% YoY Diluted EPS1 $0.36 Up 24% YoY Annualized ROE1 12%Flat YoY Below is a reconciliation of reported results to adjusted results based on non-recurring items: Three-month period endedApril 30, 2025 Three-month period endedApril 30, 2024 Six-month period endedApril 30, 2025 Six-monthperiod endedApril 30, 2024 Reported results $ $ $ $ EBITDA 4,901,810 4,470,061 8,755,560 7,755,158 Group net income 1,983,025 506,522 2,795,555 1,356,397 Pre-tax adjusting items Specified item: Restructuring charges 229,404 - 229,404 - Specified item: Advisory costs* 145,452 - 425,513 - Specified item: Deferred tax assets reversal* - 1,427,600 - 1,429,850 1,427,600 654,917Impact of income tax (72,073) - (80,647) - Adjusted results** EBITDA 5,131,214 4,470,061 8,984,964 7,755,158 Group net income 2,285,808 1,934,122 3,369,825 2,786,247Group Diluted earnings per share Reported 0.31 0.08 0.44 0.21 Adjusted** 0.36 0.29 0.53 0.42 *These adjustments are reported within the results from discontinued operations. **These are non-GAAP financial measures and ratios. For further details, refer to the key performance and non-GAAP financial measures section below. Total revenue was 3% lower than the prior year due to a decline in consumer demand for foreign currency as travel activity tapered during the current quarter. Although revenue declined, the Company's net income for the second quarter rose compared to the same quarter last year, primarily due to the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. Dollar on the revaluation of foreign currency banknote holdings. The Group's capital position remained robust, and liquidity was strong with $81.2 million in total equity and $60.4 million in net working capital as of April 30, 2025 ($79.4 million and $55.9 million as of October 31, 2024, respectively). All reported amounts are based on the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements presented in compliance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial reporting, unless otherwise noted. On February 18, 2025, the Group announced its decision to cease the operations of its wholly owned subsidiary, Exchange Bank of Canada. This strategic decision and operational plan for restructuring were communicated to all staff of EBC on February 19, 2025. Following the cessation of operations, the Bank intends to apply to the Minister of Finance in Canada to discontinue from the Bank Act. The application to discontinue is expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2025, with the actual discontinuance of the Bank being subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. Following the Group's decision, management has commenced implementation of the restructuring and planned discontinuance of the Bank. Management anticipates that certain operating expenses and personnel costs, that are currently shared with EBC, will be 100% borne by the continuing operations of CXI, subsequent to the exit of EBC from Canada, and the current annualized estimate of these costs is approximately $3 million after tax. In the second quarter of 2025, Exchange Bank of Canada was classified as a discontinued operation in the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements. On May 20, 2025, CXI upgraded its U.S. securities listing with the Company's shares commencing trading on the OTCQX Best Market under the symbol CURN. Randolph Pinna, CEO of the Group, stated, 'The second quarter showed continued growth in the payments business, while with the current political and economic uncertainties, international travel activity to and from the United States decreased banknote revenues. CXI's diversified business model in the United States allows for continued new client growth in the payments business complemented by successful multi-channel banknotes offerings for both our U.S. Financial Institutions in branch or online as well as the Direct-to-Consumer customer offerings through online, agent and physical branch locations. CXI's management team and I remain committed to executing CXI's strategic plan which is focused on revenue and earnings growth as well as the return on capital and creating value for our shareholders resulting from providing leading FX technology and transaction processing solutions'.

Gemini's IPO Filing Signals Crypto Market Maturation

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Gemini announced on Friday that it had confidentially filed for an initial public offering in the U.S., according to Reuters, marking a pivotal moment in the cryptocurrency industry's evolution toward mainstream financial acceptance. This move comes during a particularly favorable window for high-risk sector listings, with improved market conditions creating renewed investor appetite for growth-oriented companies. The timing of Gemini's Friday announcement appears strategically calculated. The cryptocurrency exchange's confidential IPO filing represents a significant milestone in the digital asset industry's maturation, coming at a moment when market sentiment has shifted decisively in favor of risk assets. Don't Miss: — no wallets, just price speculation and free paper trading to practice different strategies. Grow your IRA or 401(k) with Crypto – . Circle's (NYSE:CRCL) successful public debut last week is a crucial precedent. The stablecoin issuer's 'blowout' performance demonstrates that public markets are ready to embrace well-positioned crypto companies. This success creates a demonstration effect that could encourage a wave of similar listings from digital asset firms that have been waiting on the sidelines. Timing Advantages: Market conditions have improved significantly from the crypto winter of 2022-23 Regulatory clarity has increased, reducing some uncertainty premium Institutional adoption of digital assets continues to grow The successful Circle IPO has validated investor interest Potential Challenges: Crypto markets remain highly volatile, which could affect valuation Regulatory landscape continues evolving Competition from established players like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) and Binance Need to demonstrate sustainable revenue models beyond trading fees Trending: New to crypto? on Coinbase. This IPO filing reflects several important trends: Industry Maturation: Crypto companies are increasingly seeking traditional capital market access, signaling the sector's evolution from speculative frontier to established financial services category.
