Among other items, Black Rock Coffee reported GAAP earnings per share of $0.02 and revenue of $55.5 million, both missing consensus estimates. The Company also addressed the impact of new store openings on existing store sales, particularly in Phoenix. “As we densify markets, there's probably some level of sales transfer, especially in, call it, Phoenix …[i]n terms of sales transfer about 160 basis points, about 130 of transaction. Really, when you look at Phoenix as a whole … it is one of our higher volume markets, our most penetrated market … [t]hey were within five miles of some existing stores.” The Company said the first quarter was where the impact was first measurable.
