Chipotle Mexican Grill Q2 F2017 earnings revealed a remarkable 8.1% increase in same-store sales, citing higher customer visits and average check size due to reduced promotions. Food costs amounted to 34.1% of revenue, 10 basis points lower than last year’s second quarter.

“We saw encouraging signs in our improved financial results during the first half of the year,” Chipotle Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Steve Ells said in a statement. “Recent events, however, have shown that we still have a lot of opportunity to improve our operations and deliver the outstanding experience that our customers expect,” he added, referring to the norovirus outbreak at one of its Virginia restaurants.

He vowed to keep strengthening the company’s teams, improving its technology and expanding its menu. The outbreak occurred too recently to have any impact on the dining chain’s second quarter earnings.

After the Chipotle Mexican Grill Q2 F2017 earnings were released, the company’s stock jumped by as much as 2.69% to $358 in after-hours trades. However, it has yet to regain its losses after the most recent food-related illness.
