Fourth Quarter 2015 Review
Total revenue, which includes Shack sales and licensing revenue, increased 46.8% to $51.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, from $34.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Shack sales for the fourth quarter of 2015 were $49.3 million, an increase of 49.2% from $33.1 million in the same quarter last year due primarily to the opening of new Shacks, robust sales at mature Shacks, as well as same-Shack sales growth. Licensing revenue was $1.7 million for both the fourth quarter of 2014 and 2015. Licensing revenue from the eight new international licensed Shacks opened during the year were offset by lower licensing revenue from Shacks in the Middle East and the negative impact from foreign currency exchange rates.
Same-Shack sales increased 11.0% for the fourth quarter of 2015, on a calendar basis, versus 7.2% growth in the fourth quarter last year. The comparable Shack base includes those restaurants open for 24 months or longer. For the fourth quarter of 2015, the comparable Shack base included 21 Shacks versus 13 Shacks for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Average weekly sales for domestic company-operated Shacks was $89,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $85,000 for the same quarter last year, a 4.7% increase, primarily due to traffic growth, increased menu prices and favorable shifts in sales mix from menu innovation.
Shack-level operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, increased 88.1% to $13.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 from $7.4 million in the same quarter last year. As a percentage of Shack sales, Shack-level operating profit margins increased 590 basis points to 28.2% as a result of higher flow through from lower than anticipated food costs and the leveraging of labor and other operating expenses on the increased Shack sales. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
General and administrative expenses increased to $7.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 from $6.0 million in the same quarter last year. As a percentage of total revenue, general and administrative expenses decreased to 15.0% for the fourth quarter of 2015 from 17.2% in the fourth quarter last year, due to the elimination of the management fees paid to USHG, as well as $1.2 million of IPO-related expenses incurred in the prior year, partially offset by $0.8 million of expense recognized during the quarter related to a legal settlement and incremental stock-based compensation expense related to stock options granted in connection with the Company's initial public offering.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased 104.5% to $9.9 million. As a percent of total revenue, adjusted EBITDA margins increased approximately 540 basis points to 19.3% compared to 13.9% for the year ago period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Net income was $1.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of $(1.4) million, or $(0.05) per diluted unit, for the same period last year.
Adjusted pro forma net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $2.9 million, or $0.08 per fully exchanged and diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to an adjusted pro forma net loss of $(0.3) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share during the fourth quarter of 2014. A reconciliation adjusted pro forma net income (loss) to net income (loss) is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Fiscal Year 2015 Review
Total revenue increased 60.8% to $190.6 million for fiscal 2015, from $118.5 million for fiscal 2014. The growth in Shack sales was primarily driven by the opening of 13 new domestic company-operated Shacks, as well as same-Shack sales growth.
Shack sales for fiscal 2015 were $183.2 million, an increase of 63.5% from fiscal 2014. Licensing revenue for the fiscal year was $7.4 million, an increase of 13.6% from the prior year. Same-Shack sales increased 13.3% during fiscal year 2015 versus 4.1% growth in the prior year. For fiscal 2015, the comparable Shack base included 21 Shacks, compared to 13 Shacks for fiscal 2014.
Shack-level operating profit, a non-GAAP measure, increased 96.8% to $52.9 million for fiscal 2015 from $26.9 million for fiscal 2014. As a percentage of Shack sales, Shack-level operating profit margins increased approximately 490 basis points to 28.9% due to higher flow through from lower than anticipated food costs and the leveraging of labor and other operating expenses on the increased Shack sales. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, increased 117.7% to $41.1 million from $18.9 million for the fiscal year. As a percent of total revenue, adjusted EBITDA increased roughly 570 basis points to 21.6% compared to 15.9% for the year ago period. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Net loss was $(8.8) million, or $(0.65) per diluted share, for fiscal 2015, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted unit, for the same period a year ago.
Adjusted pro forma net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $12.0 million, or $0.32 per fully exchanged and diluted share for fiscal 2015, compared to $4.7 million, or $0.13 per fully exchanged and diluted share for fiscal 2014. A reconciliation adjusted pro forma net income (loss) to net income (loss) is set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Definitions
The following definitions apply to these terms as used in this release:
"Shack sales" is defined as the aggregate sales of food and beverages in domestic company-operated Shacks and excludes sales from licensed Shacks.
"Same-Shack sales" represents Shack sales for the comparable Shack base, which is defined as the number of domestic company-operated Shacks open for 24 months or longer. For fiscal 2015, same-Shack sales growth is calculated on a calendar basis as the Company believes it more accurately reflects the performance of its business as it eliminates the impact of the extra operating week in fiscal 2014 and compares consistent calendar weeks.
"Average unit volumes" or "AUVs" for any 12-month period consist of the average annualized sales of all domestic company-operated Shacks over that period. AUVs are calculated by dividing total Shack sales from domestic company-operated Shacks by the number of domestic company-operated Shacks open during that period. For Shacks that are not open for the entire period, we make fractional adjustments to the number of Shacks open such that it corresponds to the period of associated sales. The measurement of AUVs allows us to assess changes in guest traffic and per transaction patterns at our domestic company-operated Shacks.
"Average weekly sales" is calculated by dividing total Shack sales by the number of operating weeks for all Shacks in operation during the period. For Shacks that are not open for the entire period, we make fractional adjustments to the number of operating weeks open such that it corresponds to the period of associated sales.
"Shack-level operating profit margin," a non-GAAP measure, is defined as Shack sales less certain operating expenses, including food and paper costs, labor and related expenses, other operating expenses and occupancy and related expenses as a percentage of Shack sales.
“EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
“Adjusted EBITDA,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that the Company does not consider in their evaluation of ongoing operating performance. These items include equity-based compensation expense, non-cash deferred rent adjustments, pre-opening costs, as well as certain non-recurring charges.
"Adjusted pro forma net income," a non-GAAP measure, represents net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests of SSE Holdings, LLC for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items the Company does not believe directly reflect their core operations.
Explanatory Note
The historical financial information contained in this press release relate to periods that ended both prior to and after the completion of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") of 5,750,000 shares of its Class A common stock at a price of $21.00 per share. The Company's Class A common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "SHAK" on January 30, 2015, and the IPO closed on February 4, 2015. In connection with the IPO and certain organizational transactions, the Company became a holding company whose principal asset is its equity interest in SSE Holdings, LLC ("SSE Holdings"). As the sole managing member of SSE Holdings, the Company has the sole voting interest in and controls the operations of SSE Holdings. As a result, the Company consolidates the financial results of SSE Holdings and its subsidiaries. The unaudited consolidated financial information and related discussion of financial condition and results of operations contained in this press release relating to periods prior to the IPO pertain to SSE Holdings, the Company's predecessor for financial reporting purposes. As the organizational transactions are considered to be transactions between entities under common control, the financial statements for periods prior to the IPO and organizational transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.

SHAKE SHACK INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: Shack-level operating profit, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation.
Shack-Level Operating Profit
Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Shack-level operating profit is a supplemental measure of operating performance and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Shack-level operating profit margin has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Management believes that Shack-level operating profit and Shack-level operating profit margin are important measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of each Shack, individually and in the aggregate. The Company uses Shack-level operating profit margin information to benchmark their performance versus their competitors. A reconciliation of Shack-level operating profit to operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management to measure the operating performance of their business, excluding specifically identified items that management believes do not directly reflect their core operations. A reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is set forth below.

Adjusted Pro Forma Net Income and Adjusted Pro Forma Earnings Per Fully Exchanged and Diluted Share
Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Shake Shack Inc. assuming the full exchange of all outstanding SSE Holdings, LLC membership interests ("LLC Interests") for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that management believes do not directly reflect their core operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding LLC Interests, after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options.
Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined by GAAP. Management believes adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share supplement GAAP measures and enables them to more effectively evaluate their performance period-over-period and relative to competitors. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income (loss) attributable to Shake Shack Inc., the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully exchanged and diluted share are set forth below.
