Dave & Buster’s generated $34 million of operating cash flow during the second quarter and ended the period with $443 million of available liquidity.

“We operate strong brands, with an exceptional business model across a unique national footprint. In my first several weeks, I’ve visited stores across the nation and witnessed firsthand the pride and dedication of our teams and how much our customers love us,” said Tarun Lal, CEO of Dave & Buster’s.

“My immediate focus is clear: reinforce our guest-first culture, deliver memorable experiences, and drive meaningful growth in sales, cash flow and shareholder value.”

Dave & Buster’s noted that same-store sales trends in the third quarter have been consistent with where they were exiting the second quarter. The company said it expects to open at least five additional international franchise stores over the next six months.
