Average annual revenue

Wingstop reports annual average restaurant sales of $2,000,000, rounded, for U.S. company-owned and franchised restaurants open for a trailing 52-week period or longer, as of December 27, 2025. The AUV appears in a table headed Thirteen Weeks Ended, but its explicit definition is annual sales for restaurants open for a trailing 52-week period or longer; it is not a thirteen-week sales mean. The issuer divides sales during the applicable period for measured restaurants by the number measured. The eligible restaurant count and a separate franchise-only AUV are not given in this table. The 2,586 domestic restaurants at period end are an inventory count, not a disclosed AUV denominator. International restaurants, including U.S. territories, are classified separately. The published table is in whole USD thousands. Scaling 2,000 to $2,000,000 adds no dollar-level precision. This is sales, not profit, median revenue or owner income. No restaurant-format split disclosed in this AUV table
