Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. Reports Results for the Fiscal First Quarter Ended April 17, 2022

The Company Reaffirms Full Year 2022 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (NASDAQ: RRGB) ("Red Robin" or the "Company"), a full-service restaurant chain serving an innovative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere, today reported financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended April 17, 2022.

Results for the first quarter, as compared to the prior year as applicable, included the following:

  • Restaurant revenue of $380.6 million increased 19.4% compared to 2021;
    • Eighth consecutive quarter of sustained off-premises sales dollars of more than double pre-pandemic levels;
  • Comparable restaurant revenue increased 19.7% compared to 2021;
    • Approximately 200 restaurants were serving Donatos® pizza prior to 2022, with comparable restaurant revenue growth of Donatos® locations outperforming non-Donatos® locations by more than 5% compared to 2019;
  • Net loss of $3.1 million improved $5.6 million compared to 2021;
  • Restaurant level operating profit margin decreased by 170 basis points driven primarily by commodity and labor cost inflation, partially offset by sales leverage;
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) (a non-GAAP metric) of $28.0 million improved $0.6 million compared to 2021;
  • Launched a new redrobin.com website in March offering an improved online ordering experience that we expect will drive increased frequency of guest visits and higher order conversion; and,
  • Completed a new $225 million, five-year credit agreement that provides us with long-term flexibility to strategically invest in our business and create value for our shareholders.

First Quarter 2022 Operating Results

Comparable restaurant revenue(4) increased 19.7% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by a 12.8% increase in average Guest check and a 6.9% increase in Guest count. The increase in average Guest check resulted from a 6.0% increase in menu mix including incremental sales related to checks that include Donatos® pizza, a 5.4% increase in pricing, and a 1.4% decrease in discounts. The increase in menu mix was primarily driven by our limited time menu offerings and higher dine-in sales volumes.

The decrease in Net loss compared to 2021 was primarily due to a $61.9 million increase in restaurant revenue, partially offset by higher commodity and labor inflation, staffing costs, and marketing expenses. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA(2) was due to the aforementioned factors less the impact of Interest expense, Income tax benefits, Depreciation and amortization, and Other charges.

Paul J. B. Murphy III, Red Robin’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are continuing to drive meaningful financial growth through our long-term, strategic investments. We have now added Donatos® pizza to almost half our Company restaurants, and in the first quarter we generated total pizza sales of more than $7 million and checks with pizza were higher on average by more than $10. Our integrated and seamless digital ecosystem, which includes a newly designed website and the recent launch of our first app, will drive trial and frequency as we increase marketing to a broader audience during the second quarter and beyond. Lastly, we are also communicating more effectively with our growing Red Robin Royalty® members, now totaling 10.6 million, through a new loyalty platform that is yielding all time high guest engagement by enhancing our capabilities to personalize offers and deliver compelling campaigns."

Murphy concluded, "While we are keeping a keen eye on industry challenges and the macroeconomic environment, we are pleased with the current trajectory of our business. Our innovative limited time product promotions are driving higher guest traffic and incremental check margin, while our off-premises sales dollars have remained consistent. Operationally, we are focused on optimizing staffing while delivering a consistently great guest experience, creating incremental sales opportunities as we move forward."

Outlook for 2022 and Guidance Policy

The Company provides guidance of select information related to the Company's financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year.

The Company reiterated the following guidance for full year 2022:

  • Mid-to-high single digit restaurant labor cost inflation;
  • Selling, general and administrative costs between $145 and $155 million;
  • Adjusted EBITDA(1) between $80 and $90 million; and,
  • Capital expenditures of $40 to $50 million, as we continue to progress our strategic initiatives and focus on operational execution as we emerge from the pandemic, including continued investment in maintaining our restaurants and systems, modest new restaurant growth, Donatos® expansion to approximately 50 restaurants, improvements to our operational technology solutions, and off-premises execution enhancements.

We continue to expect pricing in the mid-single digits during 2022, along with other operating initiatives underway, to mitigate cost inflation. We also continue to expect margin pressures to persist during 2022 and improve through the year with increased staffing and dine-in sales, and to achieve a 2019 restaurant-level operating profit margin in 2023.

Due to the impact of geopolitical events and their impacts on the macroeconomic environment during 2022, the Company is updating its commodity cost inflation guidance for full year 2022 to low double digit inflation, up from our previous guidance of mid-to-high single digits.

Please refer to the Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included on Schedule III of this release. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results

(In thousands, except per share data, unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") throughout this press release, the Company has provided Adjusted net loss, Adjusted loss per share - basic, and Adjusted loss per share - diluted, which are non-GAAP measurements which present the sixteen weeks ended April 17, 2022 and April 18, 2021 Net loss and basic and diluted loss per share, excluding the effects of material changes in accounting estimate, restaurant asset impairment, write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, litigation contingencies, restaurant closure costs, other financing costs, COVID-19 related costs, board and stockholder matters costs, and related income tax effects. The Company believes the presentation of net loss and loss per share exclusive of the identified items gives the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company. Management believes this supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein. Income tax effect of reconciling items was calculated based on the change in the total tax provision calculation after adjusting for the identified item. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.

Schedule II

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Restaurant revenues, Loss

from Operations and Net Loss

(In thousands, unaudited)

The Company believes restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant impairment and closure costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs that include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general, and administrative costs, and therefore excludes costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company's investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to loss from operations or net loss as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the Company's industry. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the sixteen weeks ended April 17, 2022, and April 18, 2021 expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit that are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue.

Schedule III

Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

(In thousands, unaudited)

The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because the Company believes investors' understanding of its performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating its ongoing results of operations excluding the effects of material change in estimate, asset impairment, litigation contingencies, board and stockholder matters costs, restaurant closure and refranchising costs, other financing costs, and COVID-19 related costs. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and the Company's calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in its industry or otherwise. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect the additions and eliminations shown in the table below. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to the Company's performance based on its GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and the Company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.
