BT Brands Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Earnings Conference Call at 4:30 Eastern Today

BT Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTBD and BTBDW), today reported its financial results for the thirteen weeks ending October 1, 2023, and for the 39-week period then ended. The results for 2023 include a full quarter for the three 2022 restaurant acquisitions, and our 41.2% share of Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern results with its six locations. BT Brands operates a total of eighteen restaurants comprising the following:

  • Eight Burger Time locations and one Dairy Queen franchise; in the North Central region of the United States, collectively (“BTND”);
  • Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, Inc., a 41.2% owned affiliate, operating six Bagger Dave’s restaurants in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana (“Bagger Dave’s”);
  • Keegan’s Seafood Grille in Indian Rocks Beach, Florida (“Keegan’s”);
  • Pie In The Sky Coffee and Bakery in Woods Hole, Massachusetts (“PIE”).
  • Village Bier Garten, in Cocoa, Florida (“VBG”).

Highlights and recent activities include:

  • Total revenues for the 2023 39-week period increased 15.1% over 2022 to $11.1 million;
  • Operating income for the 13-week period was $40,614 an increase from $8,992 in 2022;
  • Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $379,006, or $.06 per share for the 39-week period in 2023:
  • For the 39-week period, restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the year declined just 1.4% to $1,469,129 in 2023 from $1,489,488 in the same period in 2022;
  • Our equity in the second quarter loss of Bagger Dave’s was $109,222:
  • At October 2, 2023, we had $6.9 million in cash and short-term investments.

Gary Copperud, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The third quarter is seasonally strong at Burger Time, and at Pie in The Sky which has continued to exceed our expectations. Our two Florida locations continued to perform below our expectations during the third quarter of 2023. The disappointing results in Florida are partially the result of unusually warm weather impacting tourist and business activity. Improving the profitability of our Florida businesses continues to be a major focus of our current activity. We incurred approximately $100,000 in non-recurring expenses related to our investment activities, including the contested proxy solicitation at Noble Roman. As a public company, we bear the burden of general and administrative expenses related to compliance and other public company activities; our goal is to spread these expenses over a larger revenue base in the future. We are experiencing some moderation of the 2022 inflationary pressure on our cost of sales inputs; however, we continue to face challenges in staffing even with labor markets trending slightly more favorable. As we consider the balance of 2023, we are focused on achieving profitability consistent with our expectations.”

Fiscal 2023 and 2024 Outlook: Because of the evolving character of our Company and because of continuing uncertainty surrounding public health concerns, impacts of supply chain constraints, and the current inflationary environment, the Company is not providing a financial forecast for fiscal 2023 and 2024.

Conference Call: Management will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter financial results today, November 15, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. ET. Hosting the call will be Kenneth Brimmer, Chief Financial Officer and Gary Copperud, Chief Executive Officer.

Dial: 877-344-8082 Secondary, international dial-in: +1-213-992-4618 The conference call can be accessed live over the phone by dialing the access code. In addition, an archive of the call will be available on the Company’s corporate website page after the call has concluded. Website www.itsburgertime.com.
