MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Galloway Capital Partners, LLC (“Galloway Capital”) today announced that it has acquired a 6.01% stake in Noodles & Company ( NDLS ) (“Noodles” or the “Company”). Galloway Capital believes that Noodles’ shares are materially undervalued and that management and the Board should take decisive steps to enhance shareholder value through accelerated asset sales, debt reduction, and the restoration of a sustainable capital structure.

Bruce Galloway, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Galloway Capital, stated:

“Central to our proposal is the sale of approximately 200 company-owned restaurants, a move that could generate roughly $60 million in proceeds. These funds would allow the Company to retire most of its high-cost debt, which would lower interest expense and improve cash flow as earnings per share.”

Galloway continued, “This is a proven playbook and mirrors our successful turnaround investment in Regis Corporation ( RGS ) , where the equity value improved dramatically after executing a similar deleveraging strategy driven by our activist involvement. With the right steps, Noodles can remove perceived bankruptcy risk, strengthen its balance sheet, and position the equity for substantial appreciation—as we have seen in comparable situations.

“Noodles is at a decisive turning point,” Galloway added. “Management has been proactive and transparent in evaluating all strategic options, and the financial rationale behind a balance-sheet reset and targeted asset sales is compelling. Our focus is on partnering constructively with management to drive performance and unlock shareholder value.”
