GRANTS PASS, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE: BROS; the “Company”) one of the fastest-growing brands in the food service and restaurant industry in the United States by location count, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021. The Company also provided its full year 2022 financial outlook.
Joth Ricci, Chief Executive Officer and President of Dutch Bros Inc., stated, “2021 was a fantastic year for Dutch Bros. We started the year with the launch of the brand in Texas, which was a major milestone for the Company. Led by a talented pipeline of regional operators and long-term franchise partners, unit growth accelerated to 98 new shop openings, revenue grew 52.1% and same shop sales increased 8.4%. 2021 was also the year we converted customers from a long-standing, paper-based stamp card loyalty program to the Dutch Bros app, which grew to 3.2 million members. And, this summer, the Dutch Bros story was presented to the public markets. Through all this, we delivered financial results that exceeded our expectations and kept our brand promise of speed, quality and service.”
He added, “In 2022, we celebrate Dutch Bros’ milestone 30th anniversary, and begin our expansion east with our entrance into Nashville. While our history shows we’re a well-established and respected brand, we are still in the early stages of our long-term story. Two years ago, we entered 2020 with just 370 shops in 7 states. We finished 2021 with 538 shops in 12 states. Importantly, new shops are opening at higher average unit volumes than the system average, including in new markets. In 2022, we have committed to opening at least 125 new shops, supported by a robust pipeline and strong consumer acceptance of Dutch Bros. In addition to moving east, we are excited about further expansion in existing markets, including Southern California, a market we believe will be a significant growth driver. Over the next 10 to 15 years, we foresee at least 4,000 shops across the United States. As we continue on this journey, we will always put our people first and remain committed to making a massive difference in the lives of our employees, customers, and communities.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 Highlights:
- Opened 35 new shops, surpassing the prior record of 33 openings in a single quarter. Company operated shops represented 30 of these openings. This included opening 23 shops in the month of December alone, and six shops in six states on December 3rd, demonstrating our ability to move rapidly.
- Total revenues grew 55.8% to $140.1 million as compared to $89.9 million in the same period of 2020.
- Company-operated shops revenues increased 66.1% to $114.2 million as compared to $68.7 million in the same period of 2020.
- System same shop sales grew1 10.1% in the fourth quarter and 15.3% on a two-year basis. Company-operated same shop sales grew1 11.5% in the fourth quarter and 17.3% on a two-year basis.
- Company-operated shop gross profit grew 15.4% to $16.1 million as compared to $14.0 million in the same period of 2020.
- Company-operated shop contribution2, a non-GAAP financial measure, grew 27.2% to $21.4 million as compared to $16.8 million in the same period of 2020.
- Net loss was $(9.8) million, as compared to $(6.2) million in the same period of 2020. For the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized $10.0 million of non-cash equity-based compensation.
- Adjusted EBITDA2, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $13.3 million, as compared to $13.0 million in the same period of 2020. Included in this comparison is a year over year increase in preopening expenses of $2.5 million, driven by both 50% more company shop openings as compared to the same period in the prior year, and a spillover of expenses from a series of late third quarter 2021 openings. 2020 results were positively impacted by lower discount and promotional costs as a result of the COVID-related suspension of its legacy paper-based loyalty program. The Company transitioned its loyalty program to a digital format through the launch of its digital rewards app in February 2021, with discount and promotional costs now normalized close to the Company’s going forward run rate. Finally our 2021 results now include $3.1 million in costs related to being a public company that did not exist in the prior comparable period.
- Adjusted net income2, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $3.5 million, as compared to $7.1 million in the same period of 2020.
- Net loss per share of Class A and Class D common stock - diluted was $(0.06) and Adjusted net income per fully exchanged share of common stock2, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.02.

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort. |
Refinancing
On February 28, 2022, Dutch Bros refinanced its existing credit facility to provide greater liquidity and maintain a strong, growth-oriented balance sheet. The new five-year facility provides $500 million in committed capital, consisting of a $100 million fully drawn term loan, a $150 million undrawn delayed draw term loan, and a $250 million revolving credit facility. This structure provides ample capital while enabling Dutch Bros to maintain modest leverage as the brand grows.

AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops that have been open a minimum of 15 months. AUVs are calculated by dividing the net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations. |
3 |
Same shop sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table. |

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”. |
5 |
Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales include company-operated shop revenue and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods noted. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of overall Dutch Bros locations financial health, growth and future expansion prospects. |
6 |
Dutch Rewards, a digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app, was launched February 2021. As such, there is no information for the comparable periods of 2020. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
Company-operated shop contribution (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)
Definition and/or calculation
Company-operated segment gross profit, before company-operated shop depreciation and amortization. Company-operated shop contribution in dollars (as defined), taken as a percentage of company-operated shop revenue.
This non-GAAP measure is used by our management in making performance decisions without the impact of non-cash depreciation charges. This is a standard metric used across the industry by our investors.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)
EBITDA — definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA — definition and/or calculation
Defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based compensation, expenses and donations associated with equity offerings, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: royalty abatement expenses, COVID-19: first responder donation, impacts of transition from paper stamp card to Dutch Rewards loyalty app, and expenses associated with the exit of our in-house merchandising business, Dutchwear. Adjusted EBITDA in dollars (as defined), taken as a percentage of total revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin — definition and/or calculation
Defined as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above), taken as a percentage of total revenue.
Usefulness to management and investors
These non-GAAP measures are supplemental operating performance measures we believe facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors’ operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures presented provide investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted net income (loss)
Definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss), excluding equity-based compensation expense, expenses and donations associated with equity offering, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: royalty abatement expenses, COVID-19: first responder donation, impacts of transition from paper stamp card to Dutch Rewards loyalty app, and expenses associated with the exit of our in-house merchandising business, Dutchwear, and income tax effects of items excluded from net income (loss).
Usefulness to management and investors
This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.
Adjusted fully exchanged weighted-average shares of diluted common stock outstanding
Definition and/or calculation
Weighted-average shares of Class A and Class D common stock outstanding - basic with addition of dilutive impacts of RSAs and RSUs, as well as the assumed exchange of the weighted-average shares of Class B and Class C common stock.
Usefulness to management and investors
This non-GAAP measure is used a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By adding in the assumed full exchange of all of our outstanding Class B and Class C common stock, we believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.
Adjusted net income per fully exchanged share of diluted common stock
Definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss) per share of Class A and Class D common stock – diluted, excluding per share impacts of equity-based compensation expense, expenses and donations associated with equity offering, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: royalty abatement expenses, COVID-19: first responder donation, impacts of transition from paper stamp card to Dutch Rewards loyalty app, and expenses associated with the exit of our in-house merchandising business, Dutchwear, income tax effects of items excluding from net income (loss), and removal of per share impacts of controlling and non-controlling interests.
Usefulness to management and investors
This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all of our outstanding Class B and Class C common stock and related net income adjustments, we believe these measures facilitate a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.
Non-GAAP adjustments
Below are the definitions of the non-GAAP adjustments that are used in the calculation of our non-GAAP measures, as described above.
Equity-based compensation
Non-cash expenses related to the grant and vesting of stock awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in Dutch Bros Pubco8 and/or Profit Interest Units in Dutch Bros Opco9 to certain eligible employees. These awards are accounted for in accordance with guidance prescribed for in accounting for share-based compensation.
Expenses associated with equity offerings
Costs incurred as a result of our stock offerings. These costs include legal fees, consulting fees, tax and accounting fees, and payroll taxes related to the grant and vesting of stock awards for certain employees.
Donations associated with equity offerings
As part of our IPO, we made a donation to the Dutch Bros Foundation. This donation is separate from other donations to the Dutch Bros Foundation that we may periodically make.
COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave
Costs related to two separate programs established to support employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented an hourly wage supplement program for shop employees who continued to work while their state or county was under a stay at home order or similar lockdown requirement. This program lasted in various markets until April 2021. We also established a catastrophic leave policy that provided paid leave to employees who were required to quarantine due to in-shop exposures and could not work their regular hours. All COVID-19-related protocols, including catastrophic leave, will remain in effect until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as determined by the appropriate government agency.
COVID-19: royalty abatement
In April 2020, we permitted franchise partners to skip one month of royalty payments to support their cash flow needs. We discontinued this support one month later in May 2020.
COVID-19: first responder donation
During 2020, we made specific donations to the First Responders First organization to support the acquisition and distribution of personal protective equipment for first responders.

9 |
Dutch Bros OpCo refers to Dutch Mafia, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and a direct subsidiary of Dutch Bros Inc. |
Dutch Rewards transition
In 2020, we discontinued issuing new stamp cards under the stamp card loyalty program, which we recognized previously deferred revenue as a result of customers redeeming their stamp cards. In 2021, the stamp card loyalty program was suspended.
Dutchwear merchandising adjustment
During 2020, we incurred a series of costs associated with the strategic decision to exit our internal merchandising business related to Dutch-branded goods such as mugs and cups. These costs include write-off and disposal of obsolete inventory and severance for staff dedicated to in-house support services related to our Dutchwear business.
Assumed exchange of weighted-average Class B and Class C shares of common stock
Weighted-average shares of Class B and C common stock that are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock.
Removal of allocation for controlling and non-controlling interests
Removal of the net income allocation to controlling and non-controlling interests to align the numerator of the net income (loss) per share to the denominator, which assumes the full exchange of shares of Class B and Class C common stock.
Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals
Following are the reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to non-GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the reconciliations from U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP actuals should be carefully evaluated. Please refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, the ways management uses the non-GAAP measures, and the reasons why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.
