Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2022 Q3 Financial Results

Q3 Combined U.S. Comparable Restaurant Sales Growth of 1.4%

Q3 Diluted EPS of $0.34 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.35

Reiterates Full Year Adjusted EPS Expectations

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.14 per share

Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the third quarter 2022 (“Q3 2022”) compared to the third quarter 2021 (“Q3 2021”).

CEO Comments

“We are pleased with the consistent performance of our brands as Q3 represented another quarter of strong results. U.S. comparable sales improved throughout the quarter while our margins remain well above pre-pandemic levels” said David Deno, CEO. “Importantly, we achieved this performance despite persistent inflationary pressures that were well ahead of menu price increases. We remain focused on executing our strategy to elevate the customer experience and drive innovation while achieving sustainable sales and profits.”

(2) Adjusted operating income and restaurant-level operating margins are lower year-over-year due to elevated inflationary pressures that were partially offset by moderate pricing increases to maintain consumer value equation.

  • The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to higher comparable restaurant sales and the net impact of restaurant openings and closures.
  • Operating income margin increased primarily due to an increase in restaurant-level operating margin as described below and lower share-based and incentive compensation.
  • Restaurant-level operating margin increased primarily due to: (i) lapping the Carrabba’s Italian Grill royalty termination, (ii) increases in average check per person and (iii) lapping the impact of COVID-19 in Brazil. These increases were partially offset by: (i) commodity inflation, (ii) increased labor costs primarily due to wage rate inflation, (iii) higher operating expenses including utilities and (iv) higher advertising expense.
  • Adjusted operating income and adjusted restaurant-level operating margins for Q3 2021 exclude the impact of the Carrabba’s Italian Grill royalty termination.

Dividend Declaration and Share Repurchases

On October 18, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.14 per share to be paid on November 23, 2022 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 9, 2022.

On February 8, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a $125 million share repurchase program. Through October 27, 2022, we repurchased 4.7 million shares for a total of $95 million and had $30 million remaining under this authorization. This authorization will expire on August 9, 2023.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call today, October 28, 2022 at 8:15 AM EDT. The conference call will be webcast live from the Company’s website at http://www.bloominbrands.com under the Investors section. A replay of this webcast will be available on the Company’s website after the call.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP and include the following: (i) Restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted net income, (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings per share and (v) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin.

Restaurant-level operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure widely regarded in the industry as a useful metric to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations, and we use it for these purposes, overall and particularly within our two segments.

We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in tables four, five, six and seven included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

_________________

(1) We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are typically used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

_________________

(1) The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:

(a) Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income.

(b) Depreciation and amortization which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants.

(c) General and administrative expense which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices.

(d) Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant performance in a period.

(2) Payment to the founders of our Carrabba’s Italian Grill concept in connection with an agreement to terminate future royalty payments.

(3) The thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2021 include an accrual for Imposto sobre Serviços (“ISS”), a Brazilian municipal service tax, in connection with royalties from our Brazilian subsidiary over the past five years, including related penalties and interest, recorded within Other restaurant operating expense as a result of an unfavorable Brazilian Supreme Court ruling.

(1) Adjustment for interest expense related to the convertible senior notes due in 2025 (the “2025 Notes”) weighted for the portion of the period prior to our election under the 2025 Notes indenture to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash.

(2) See Table Six Adjusted Income from Operations Non-GAAP Reconciliations above for details regarding Income from operations adjustments.

(3) The thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2022 includes losses in connection the repurchase of $125 million of our outstanding 2025 Notes, as well as the settlements of the related convertible senior note hedges and warrants (the “2025 Notes Partial Repurchase”), the modification of our revolving credit facility and the extinguishment of our term loan A.

(4) The tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments were determined based on the nature of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments and their relevant jurisdictional tax rates. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2022, the primary difference between the GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates relate to certain non-deductible losses and other tax costs associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase.

(5) Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 3,690 and 10,476 shares for the thirteen weeks ended September 25, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively, and 6,732 and 10,453 shares for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2022 and September 26, 2021, respectively, to be issued upon conversion of the 2025 Notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible note hedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was also calculated assuming our February 2021 election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash was in effect for the entire period.
