“In the second quarter we maintained our outperformance versus Knapp with a 250 basis point positive traffic gap; however, dinner traffic did not recover as expected following the weather events of the first quarter,” said Elizabeth Smith, CEO. “We have responded with marketing innovation in the second half that is focused on dinner. In addition, in Korea, we continue to face significant macro issues and an increasingly competitive environment. Given these challenges, our second quarter results were softer than expected and we have revised our 2014 total year outlook down from our original estimates. Adjusted diluted earnings per share are now expected to be between $1.05 to $1.10 while domestic comp sales are expected to be 0.0% to 1.0%.”
Smith continued, “While 2014 is challenging, we remain confident in our long term growth prospects and our portfolio’s unique opportunities. We are excited to announce our plans to expand Carrabba’s to Brazil with our first opening expected in the first half of 2015. This represents the next step in our International expansion efforts. We will continue to pursue International opportunities for Outback, particularly in high growth areas such as Brazil and China.”
Financial Results
The following summarizes the Company’s results for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014:
| |
• | Total revenues increased 9.0% to $1.1 billion. This increase was primarily due to the consolidation of restaurant sales generated by the formerly unconsolidated joint venture restaurants in Brazil, additional revenues from opening new restaurants and an increase in domestic comparable restaurant sales at our existing restaurants. The increase in restaurant sales was partially offset by the closing of 29 restaurants since March 31, 2013 and a decline in comparable sales in the Company’s South Korean restaurants. |
| |
• | Comparable sales for Company-owned core domestic concepts grew 0.6%. Traffic for Company-owned core domestic concepts was flat as traffic increases from lunch expansion were offset by traffic declines in the dinner business. Results by concept were as follows: |
|
| | | |
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED JUNE 29, 2014 | | COMPANY- OWNED |
Domestic comparable restaurant sales (stores open 18 months or more) | | |
Outback Steakhouse | | 0.9 | % |
Carrabba’s Italian Grill | | (1.2 | )% |
Bonefish Grill | | 0.3 | % |
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar | | 3.6 | % |
| |
• | Restaurant-level operating margin was 16.1% for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014 versus 16.0% for the second quarter of 2013. This increase was primarily due to productivity savings, menu pricing and the operating margin benefit from the consolidation of the formerly unconsolidated joint venture restaurants in Brazil. The increase was partially offset by commodity inflation, costs associated with lunch expansion and new promotions, lower average unit volumes in the Company’s South Korean restaurants and increases in certain other operating expenses. |
| |
• | Adjusted operating income margin was 5.8% and operating income margin was 5.6% for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014, respectively, versus 6.7% for the second quarter of 2013, respectively. This decrease was driven primarily by the timing of the Company’s annual managing partner conference, higher Depreciation and amortization and higher costs associated with growth investments. This decrease was partially offset by lower incentive compensation and higher restaurant margins. In addition, due to the consolidation of Brazil we no longer record the Company’s share of their earnings as “Income from operations of unconsolidated affiliates”. |
| |
• | The Company opened six new system-wide locations: one Bonefish Grill restaurant, one Outback Steakhouse, and four Company-owned international Outback Steakhouse restaurants, three in Brazil and one in South Korea. There were also four closures: three international Outback Steakhouse restaurants in South Korea and one domestic Outback Steakhouse location. |
Fiscal 2014 Financial Outlook
Based on results for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2014, the Company revised its financial outlook for fiscal 2014. This outlook assumes that core domestic traffic trends remain consistent with trends seen through the first half of fiscal 2014. In addition, the outlook assumes no improvement in the operating results in our Korean business.
The following table presents the Company’s updated expectations for selected fiscal 2014 financial reporting and operating results as compared to the financial outlook provided in the Company’s February 25, 2014 earnings release.
The financial outlook disclosed in the February 25, 2014 earnings release was largely expressed on an “at least” basis (e.g., Adjusted diluted earnings per share of “at least $1.21”). The revised financial outlook in the “Current Outlook” column provides a range estimate (i.e Adjusted diluted earnings per share “between $1.05 and $1.10”).

(1) | Excludes restricted cash. |
| |
(2) | The Company has, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). The Company operates successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on Restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on its current liabilities and its inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures. |
| |
(3) | The Company completed a refinancing of its Senior Secured Credit Facility in May 2014. The total indebtedness of the Company remained unchanged as a result of the refinancing. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide 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 U.S. GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margins, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margins, (iii) Adjusted net income, (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings per share and (v) Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA.
Although we believe these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace accompanying U.S. GAAP financial measures. These metrics are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The use of other non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that 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. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our performance, allocate resources and establish employee incentive plans. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also frequently used by investors, analysts and credit agencies in evaluating and comparing companies. In addition, our debt agreements require compliance of certain ratios that are based on financial measures similar to Adjusted EBITDA.
Restaurant-level operating margin
Restaurant-level operating margin is calculated as Restaurant sales after deduction of the main restaurant-level operating costs, which includes Cost of sales, Labor and other related and Other restaurant operating. Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin is Restaurant-level operating margin adjusted for certain items, as noted below.
The following table shows the percentages of certain operating cost financial statement line items in relation to Restaurant sales on both a U.S. GAAP basis and an adjusted basis, as indicated, for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2014 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2013:
