Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2022 Q1 Financial Results

Q1 Combined U.S. Comparable Restaurant Sales Growth of 14.0%

Q1 Diluted EPS of $0.73 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.80

Raises Full Year Guidance for Revenue, Profit and EPS Expectations

Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend of $0.14 per share

TAMPA, Fla.--()--Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the first quarter 2022 (“Q1 2022”) compared to the first quarter 2021 (“Q1 2021”).

CEO Comments

“The first quarter was a strong start to the year and sets us up well to achieve our 2022 goals,” said David Deno, CEO. “Our Q1 results reflect both our customer’s positive response to investments we have made in quality and service as well as the ongoing execution against our growth strategy. This strategy has produced sustainable gains in off-premises, higher digital engagement, and improved operational efficiencies in the restaurant. These efforts have resulted in enhanced sales and profits, which have enabled us to increase full year guidance.”

(1) Adjustments for the periods presented primarily include the exclusion of shares from our calculation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding due to: (i) our convertible note hedge which offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes and (ii) our February 2021 election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash. There were no adjustments to Income from operations during the periods presented. See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release.

  • The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales primarily attributable to increases in average check per person, (ii) higher franchise revenues and (iii) the net impact of restaurant openings and closures.
  • Restaurant-level operating margin decreased primarily due to: (i) commodity and wage rate inflation, (ii) higher operating expenses including utilities and (iii) higher advertising expense. These decreases were partially offset by increases in average check per person and the net benefit of lapping the impact of COVID-19.
  • Operating income margin increased due to an increase in franchise revenues, partially offset by a decrease in restaurant-level operating margin as described above.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call today, April 29, 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) Adjusted net income, (ii) Adjusted diluted earnings per share and (iii) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

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 six and nine 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.

_________________

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:

(1) 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.

(2) 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.

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

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

(2) For the thirteen weeks ended March 27, 2022 and March 28, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 8,732 and 9,653 shares, 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 thirteen weeks ended March 28, 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.
