DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
Highlights for the third quarter compared to the same period in 2021 are as follows:
- Total GAAP revenues increased 1.6% to $73.0 million from $71.9 million;
- GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share ($0.07 adjusted net income per share) ****, compared to GAAP net income of $11.7 million, or $0.34 per share ($0.11 adjusted net income per share)****
- Restaurant Operating Profit*** decreased 21.3% to $9.1 million from $11.6 million; and
- Adjusted EBITDA** decreased 29.0% to $7.1 million from $10.0 million.
Comparable sales* for the third quarter compared to the same periods in 2021 and 2019:
-
Compared to 2021:
- Consolidated comparable sales* increased 0.5%;
- Comparable sales* for STK increased 3.5%; and
- Comparable sales* for Kona Grill decreased 3.6%.
-
Compared to 2019:
- Consolidated comparable sales* increased 45.6%;
- Comparable sales* for STK increased 70.6%; and
- Comparable sales* for Kona Grill increased 22.3%.
“Our comparable sales results reflect strong comparisons from 2019 as we are generating industry leading average unit volumes across both STK and Kona Grill. This quarter, we decided to take modest price increases knowing it would not offset the historic high inflation affecting our industry. Instead, we will be taking additional pricing in the fourth quarter, which is traditionally our strongest, as guests come to celebrate the holidays. As we look ahead, the investments we’ve made in being fully staffed should pay dividends and we will continue to remain laser focused on delivering exceptional and unforgettable guest experiences to drive top-line momentum as we continue to navigate this challenging cost environment,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.
Hilario continued, “During the third quarter, we opened STK San Francisco which is averaging over $350,000 per week and is performing extremely well. Over a 90-day period, we will have opened STK San Francisco, STK Dallas and STK Stratford, a 13% increase in our STK unit count. In addition, we believe we are early in our growth strategy with significant whitespace ahead and our pipeline is the strongest in our history. Looking ahead, we foresee a total addressable market of at least 400 restaurants including 200 STK restaurants globally and at least 200 Kona Grills domestically, and we are targeting best-in-class ROIs between 40% and 50% for new Company-Owned STKs and for Company-Owned Kona Grills.”
*Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions; the Company has presented comparable sales growth from 2019 to illustrate how sales at its restaurant base before the COVID-19 pandemic compare to sales as COVID-19 restrictions have eased and the Company has reopened in-person dining.
** Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses including incremental costs related to COVID-19, stock-based compensation and certain transactional costs. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA in this release.
***Restaurant Operating Profit. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this release.
****Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before gains on CARES Act Loan forgiveness, COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, other non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of the adjustment. Adjusted Net Income has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income in this release.
Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Total GAAP revenues increased $1.2 million, or 1.6%, to $73.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $71.9 million in the third quarter of 2021.
Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $1.6 million, or 2.3%, to $69.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $68.0 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of STK San Francisco in August 2022. Consolidated comparable sales* increased 0.5% from the third quarter of 2021 and increased 45.6% from the third quarter of 2019.
Management, license and incentive fee revenues decreased $0.4 million, or 10.8%, to $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $3.9 million in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased revenues in our managed properties in London, England.
Restaurant Operating Profit*** decreased $2.5 million, or 21.3%, to $9.1 million and represented 13.1% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $11.6 million and 17.1% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to consolidated higher average wage and operating costs.
General and administrative costs increased $0.4 million, or 8.2%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase was attributable to additional investments required ahead of growth, increased accounting and legal fees and increased stock-based compensation expense, partially offset by a decrease in performance-based variable compensation expense. In addition, the Company experienced increased travel expenses due to rising hotel and airfare costs.
Pre-opening expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. This increase was primarily related to payroll, training and non-cash pre-open rent for STK San Francisco which opened in August 2022 and STK Dallas which opened in November 2022, and Kona Grill Riverton and Kona Grill Columbus which are currently under construction.
GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the third quarter of 2022 was $0.5 million, or $0.01 per share, compared to $11.7 million, or $0.34 per share, in the third quarter of 2021.
Adjusted Net Income**** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the third quarter of 2022 was $2.4 million, or $0.07 per share, compared to $3.7 million, or $0.11 per share, in the third quarter of 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA** decreased $2.9 million, or 29.0%, to $7.1 million in the third quarter of 2022 from $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2021.
As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $17.5 million in cash and cash equivalents, $24.4 million in term loan debt, and $5.6 million available on its revolving credit facility.
Restaurant Development
In August 2022, we opened an owned STK restaurant in San Francisco, California and a licensed virtual location in conjunction with REEF Kitchens in Austin, Texas that features offerings from Kona Grill and Bao Yum. In November 2022, we opened an owned STK restaurant in Dallas, Texas. We intend to open six additional venues in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. There are three Company-owned Kona Grill restaurants (Riverton, UT, Columbus, OH and Desert Ridge, AZ) and one managed STK restaurant (Stratford, UK) under development. In addition, in conjunction with REEF Kitchens, we plan to test and open two additional licensed units in Texas for takeout and delivery only. These units will feature offerings from Kona Grill and Bao Yum.
Share Repurchase
On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the commencement of a share repurchase program for up to $10 million of its outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2022, we had repurchased 500,000 shares for aggregate consideration of $3.5 million under this program.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Income.
Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, COVID-19 related expense and certain transactional costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

Restaurant Operating Profit. We believe Restaurant Operating Profit is an important component of financial results because: (i) it is a widely used metric within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit as a key metric to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before gains on CARES Act Loan forgiveness, COVID-19 costs, one-time stock-based compensation, other non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of the adjustment.
We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management, and we believe that it provides useful information facilitating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
