(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 quarter ended July 14, 2019.

- Adjusted earnings per diluted share were $1.03 compared to $0.46 (see Schedule I);
- Net Income was $1.0 million compared to a net loss of $1.9 million;

- Off-premise sales increased 25.7% and comprised 12.5% of total food and beverage sales, including catering;

Pattye Moore, board chair and interim chief executive officer of Red Robin, said, “We are making important progress on the execution of the five pillars in our strategic plan, designed to restore Red Robin’s growth and improve profitability, and believe we have reached an inflection point in our transformation. This was underscored during the second quarter by achieving our strongest comparable restaurant revenue result in five quarters, including a sequential improvement from the first quarter. Importantly, we are encouraged to see early signs of our recent sales momentum continuing, which reflect our ongoing improvements in operating and guest satisfaction metrics, as well as the new omni-channel advertising campaign that launched July 15th.”
Ms. Moore continued, “While there is still considerable work to do, our improving metrics, growing off-premise and catering channels, and traction in implementing technology solutions highlight what we have already accomplished in stabilizing the business and laying the foundation for long-term success. Additionally, the entire Red Robin Board, including our three new independent Directors announced earlier this month, remains committed to creating value for our shareholders.”
Fiscal Period Eight Comparable Restaurant Revenue
For the four-week period ended August 11, 2019, representing the Company’s fiscal period eight, comparable restaurant revenue improved to (0.1%), reflecting the continued momentum in the business.
Second Quarter 2019 Operating Results
Total revenues, which primarily include Company-owned restaurant revenue and franchise royalties, decreased 2.3% to $308.0 million in the second quarter of 2019, from $315.4 million in the second quarter of 2018. Restaurant revenue decreased $8.0 million due to a $4.4 million, or 1.5%, decrease in comparable restaurant revenue, and a $4.2 million decrease from closed restaurants, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in revenue from late 2018 new restaurant openings.
System-wide restaurant revenue (which includes franchised units) for the second quarter of 2019 totaled $366.4 million, compared to $374.7 million for the second quarter of 2018.
Comparable restaurant revenue(1) decreased 1.5% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by a 6.4% decrease in guest counts and offset by a 4.9% increase in average guest check. The increase in average guest check comprised a 2.3% increase in menu mix and a 2.6% increase in pricing. The increase in menu mix was primarily driven by the Company’s current menu and promotional strategy, resulting in lower Tavern burger sales and higher Finest burger and entrée sales.
Net income was $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to a net loss of $1.9 million for the same period a year ago. Adjusted net income was $13.4 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $6.0 million for the same period a year ago (see Schedule I).
Restaurant-level operating profit margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 18.2% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 19.3% in the same period a year ago. Cost of sales as a percentage of restaurant revenue decreased 20 basis points primarily due to a reduction in waste and lower Tavern mix. Restaurant labor costs as a percentage of restaurant revenue increased 90 basis points due to higher average wage rates and sales deleverage. Other restaurant operating costs increased 50 basis points primarily due to a 60 basis point increase in third-party delivery fees, offset by a 10 basis point decrease in supplies. Occupancy costs decreased 10 basis points due to restaurant closures. Schedule II of this earnings release defines restaurant-level operating profit, discusses why it is a useful metric for investors, and reconciles this metric to income from operations and net income, in each case under GAAP.

Calculated using constant currency rates. Using historical currency rates, the average weekly sales per unit in the second quarter of 2018 for Company-owned – Total and Company-owned – Comparable was $53,268 and $54,067. The Company calculates non GAAP constant currency average weekly sales per unit by translating prior year local currency average weekly sales per unit to U.S. dollars based on current quarter average exchange rates. The Company considers non-GAAP constant currency average weekly sales per unit to be a useful metric to investors and management as they facilitate a more useful comparison of current performance to historical performance. |
Other Results
Depreciation and amortization costs decreased to $21.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $22.3 million in the second quarter of 2018.
General and administrative costs were $21.8 million, or 7.1% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $20.4 million, or 6.5% of total revenues, in the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily driven by professional and legal fees.
Selling expenses were $13.4 million, or 4.4% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $15.2 million, or 4.8% of total revenues, during the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily driven by a decrease in media spend.
Other charges in the second quarter of 2019 included $14.1 million of asset impairments, $1.2 million of board and shareholder matter costs, $1.0 million in costs related to restaurants that were previously closed, $0.4 million in executive transition and severance, and $0.3 million in executive retention.
The Company had an effective tax benefit of 106.5% in the second quarter of 2019, compared to an effective tax benefit of 71.6% during the same period a year ago. The change in the effective tax benefit is primarily due to the decrease in income in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period a year ago. The Company currently anticipates full year cash tax payments of between $3.5 million and $5 million.
Earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2019 were $0.08 compared to losses per diluted share of $0.14 in the second quarter of 2018. Excluding charges of $0.80 for impairment expenses, $0.07 for board and shareholder matter costs, $0.05 for restaurant closure costs, $0.02 for executive transition and severance, and $0.01 for executive retention, adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter ended July 14, 2019 were $1.03. Excluding charges of $0.54 for asset impairment, $0.03 for spiral menu disposal, and $0.03 for reorganization costs, adjusted earnings per diluted share for the second quarter ended July 15, 2018 were $0.46. See Schedule I for a reconciliation of adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share (each, a non-GAAP financial measure) to net income and earnings per share.
Restaurant Portfolio
During the second quarter of 2019, one franchised Red Robin restaurant opened. One additional Red Robin franchised restaurant is expected to open later in 2019.
Separately, the Company closed 10 restaurants in connection with its previously announced real estate portfolio reassessment. Seven of these restaurants were in enclosed mall locations. As a result of these closures, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $1.1 million during the second quarter of 2019. These restaurants had combined year to date sales of $6.1 million, and pre-tax operating losses of $1.7 million. Year to date depreciation expense for these locations in 2019 was immaterial.

Schedule I
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 non-GAAP measurements which present the 12 and 28 weeks ended July 14, 2019 and July 15, 2018, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share, excluding the effects of executive transition and severance, board and shareholder matter costs, asset impairments, litigation contingencies, asset disposals, restaurant closure costs, reorganization costs, executive retention costs and their related income tax effects. The Company believes the presentation of net income and earnings per share exclusive of the identified item gives the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company. 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.

For the second quarter of 2018, the impact of dilutive shares is included in the calculations as the adjustments for the quarter resulted in adjusted net income. For diluted shares reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, the impact of dilutive shares is excluded due to the reported net loss for the quarter. |
Schedule II
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Income
from Operations and Net Income
(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 income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the 12 and 28 week periods ended July 14, 2019 and July 15, 2018, 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 Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(In thousands, unaudited)
The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest expense, (benefit) for income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because the Company believes investors’ understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations without the effect of non-cash charges such as executive transition and severance, board and shareholder matter costs, asset impairments, litigation contingencies, asset disposals, restaurant closure costs, reorganization costs, executive retention costs and their related income tax effects. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in our 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 our performance based on our 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 our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. We have not provided a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income. Providing net income 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 income, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income 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.
