“This month marks Chipotle’s 20th anniversary.

Our vision has connected with our loyal customers, who visit Chipotle to enjoy great tasting food made from premium ingredients. It's rewarding to look back and see what we've accomplished, but it's even more inspiring to think about what lies ahead over the next twenty years.” said Steve Ells, Founder, Chairman and co-CEO of Chipotle.
Second quarter 2013 results
Revenue for the quarter was $816.8 million, up 18.2% from the prior year period. The growth in revenue was the result of new restaurants not in the comparable base and a 5.5% increase in comparable restaurant sales. Comparable restaurant sales growth was driven by increased traffic and from the benefit of one additional trading day in the quarter as compared to the second quarter of 2012.
During the quarter we opened 44 new restaurants, bringing the total restaurant count to 1,502.
Food costs were 33.1% of revenue, an increase of 100 basis points driven by higher commodity costs. Higher commodity costs were driven by increased prices for all of our salsa ingredients, as well as for dairy items and chicken. These increases were partially offset by lower avocado prices.
Restaurant level operating margin was 27.6% in the quarter, a decrease of 160 basis points from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by higher food and marketing costs.
General and administrative expenses were 6.2% of revenue, an increase of 10 basis points due to higher legal and payroll costs partially offset by favorable sales leverage.
Net income for the first quarter of 2013 was $87.9 million, or $2.82 per diluted share, compared to $81.7 million, or $2.56 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2012. Income taxes were negatively impacted by non-recurring tax adjustments that reduced earnings by $0.03 per share.
Results for the six months ended June 30, 2013
Revenue for the first six months of 2013 was $1.54 billion, up 15.9% from the prior year period. The growth in revenue was the result of new restaurants not in the comparable base and a 3.4% increase in comparable restaurant sales. Comparable restaurant sales growth was primarily driven by increased traffic.
During the first six months of the year, we opened 92 new restaurants, bringing the total restaurant count to 1,502.
Restaurant level operating margin was 27.0% for the first six months, a decrease of 130 basis points from the prior year period. The decrease was primarily from higher food costs and higher marketing costs.
General and administrative expense for the first six months of 2013 was 6.2% of revenue, or a decrease of 70 basis points from the prior year period. The decrease was from lower stock based compensation expense and lower employee related payroll taxes.
Net income for the first six months of 2013 was $164.4 million, or $5.27 per diluted share, compared to $144.3 million, or $4.53 per diluted share, in the first six months of 2012.
“We are delighted with our strong financial performance during the second quarter. We know that empowered cultures create excellent teams, who deliver a special dining experience for each customer who visits Chipotle. They attract great employees and develop them to be the very best leaders from within the organization, which not only supports our great operations, but also makes our strong performance sustainable as we add more restaurants,” said Monty Moran, co-CEO
Outlook
For 2013, management expects the following:
- 165 – 180 new restaurant openings
- Low to mid single digit comparable restaurant sales
- An effective full year tax rate of approximately 38.9% (39.4% for the remainder of 2013).

About Chipotle
Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO, started Chipotle with the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared using classic cooking methods and served in a distinctive atmosphere. Through our vision of Food With Integrity, Chipotle is seeking better food from using ingredients that are not only fresh, but that—where possible—are sustainably grown responsibly raised with respect for the animals, the land, and the farmers who produce the food. A similarly focused people culture, with an emphasis on identifying and empowering top performing employees, enables us to develop future leaders from within. Chipotle opened with a single restaurant in 1993 and currently operates more than 1,500 restaurants. For more information, visit Chipotle.com.
