Business-activity disclosure
CAVA operates Mediterranean fast-casual restaurants and packaged-goods channels. The retained qualitative analysis views much of the menu as halal-friendly, but locations are not universally halal-certified and menu-level revenue is not screened by a universal numerator.
Limitation: No universal prohibited-revenue allocation is inferred from restaurant, menu, licensing or packaged-goods disclosures.
Purification
Disclosed net interest income is 0.93% of sixteen-week revenue, but no scholar-approved purification percentage is asserted for restaurant revenue.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD millions from CAVA Group's April 19, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- No conventional debt is reported; the $107.189 million fair-value investment balance is treated as identifiable interest-bearing securities. Operating lease liabilities are excluded from conventional debt.
- Accounts receivable combines trade receivables of $10.752 million and other receivables of $9.949 million. Sixteen-week revenue is $438.270 million and disclosed net interest income is $4.082 million.
- The filing does not provide a scholar-universal prohibited-revenue numerator for menu ingredients, alcohol or non-certified meat.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
