(1) Adjusted net income

operating margin to the most directly comparable GAAP measure see
the accompanying financial tables. For a discussion of why we
consider them useful, see “Non-GAAP Measures” below.
Steve Hislop, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Chuy’s Holdings, Inc., stated, “Our results marked
another strong quarter with revenue growth of over 7%, including a
3.2% improvement in comparable restaurant sales. We also grew
restaurant-level operating margin by over 21% and generated an
industry-leading restaurant-level operating margin as a percentage
of revenue of 21.6%, representing a 250 basis-point improvement
over last year. We believe our performance year-to-date reflects
our passion in providing our customers with the unique Chuy’s
experience through our high-quality, made-from-scratch food and
drinks offered at an incredible value.”
Hislop added, “We successfully opened a new
restaurant in Oklahoma City, OK during the quarter, followed by
another restaurant in Harker Heights, TX in July, both of which
have performed in line with our expectations. As we look ahead, we
believe our continued focus on four-wall operational excellence,
thoughtful capital allocation, and exciting pipeline of unit
growth, have positioned us well to capitalize on our positive
momentum and the vast opportunities ahead of us.”
Second Quarter
2023 Financial Results
Revenue was $119.0 million in the second quarter
of 2023 compared to $110.9 million in the second quarter of 2022.
The increase was primarily related to an increase in our comparable
restaurant sales as well as incremental revenue from an additional
53 operating weeks provided by new restaurants opened during and
subsequent to the second quarter of 2022. For the second quarter of
2023, off-premise sales were approximately 28% of total revenue
compared to approximately 27% during the same period in fiscal
2022.
Comparable restaurant sales increased 3.2% for
the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same period last year
primarily driven by a 5.8% increase in average check, partially
offset by a 2.6% decrease in average weekly customers.
Total restaurant operating costs as a percentage
of revenue decreased by approximately 250 basis points to 78.4% in
the second quarter of 2023 from 80.9% in the second quarter of 2022
primarily driven by the following:
- Cost of sales
decreased 310 basis points primarily driven by leverage on menu
price increases taken subsequent to the second quarter of last year
as well as overall commodity deflation of approximately 4% during
the thirteen weeks ended June 25, 2023.
- Labor costs
increased 40 basis points largely as a result of hourly labor rate
inflation of approximately 5% at comparable restaurants as well as
an incremental improvement in our hourly staffing levels as
compared to last year. This increase was partially offset by menu
price increases taken subsequent to the second quarter of
2022.
- Operating costs
increased 10 basis points primarily driven by higher delivery
service charges as a result of adding another delivery service
provider in 2022, an increase in restaurant repair and maintenance
costs, partially offset by lower utility costs and higher sales
leverage on insurance costs as compared to the second quarter of
2022.
Restaurant pre-opening expenses increased to
$0.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $0.3
million for the same period in 2022, primarily due to an increase
in restaurant development and timing of new store openings.
General and administrative expenses increased to
$7.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $6.5
million for the same period in 2022. As a percentage of revenues,
general and administrative expenses increased to 6.5% in the second
quarter of 2023 from 5.9% in the second quarter of 2022.
Impairment, closed restaurant and other costs
were $0.5 million ($0.4 million, net of tax or $0.02 per diluted
share) during the second quarter of 2023 and $0.7 million ($0.6
million, net of tax or $0.03 per diluted share) during the same
period last year. The decrease was primarily related to a reduction
in rent paid on previously closed restaurants. Closed restaurant
costs include rent expense, utilities, insurance and other costs
required to maintain the remaining closed locations.
The effective income tax rate was 14.4% compared
to 9.2% in the same period last year. The increase in the effective
tax rate was mainly attributed to a decrease in the proportion of
employee tax credits to estimated annual income.
As a result of the foregoing, net income was
$10.7 million, or $0.59 per diluted share in the second quarter of
2023 compared to $7.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, in the
second quarter of 2022.
Adjusted net income was $11.1 million, or $0.61
per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to
$8.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the second
quarter of 2022. Please see the reconciliation of net income to
adjusted net income in the accompanying financial tables.
Development Update
During the second quarter of 2023, one
restaurant was opened in Oklahoma City, OK. We also closed one
restaurant in Orland Park, IL at the end of the second quarter of
2023, which brings our total number of restaurants to 99 as of June
25, 2023.
Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, one
additional restaurant was opened in Harker Heights, TX.
Share Repurchase Program
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company
repurchased 83,521 shares of its common stock for a total of
approximately $3.0 million. As of June 25, 2023, the Company had
$47.0 million remaining under the share repurchase program.
Repurchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock will be made
in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be made at
management’s discretion from time to time in the open market,
through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, including
pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.
2023 Outlook
The Company now expects 2023 adjusted net
income(1) per diluted share of $1.80 to $1.85 as compared to net
income per diluted share of $1.11 and adjusted net income(1) per
diluted share of $1.37 in fiscal 2022. The adjusted net income
guidance for fiscal 2023 includes an estimated $0.08 to $0.10 per
diluted share positive impact due to the fourth quarter of 2023
containing 14 weeks versus 13 weeks in fiscal 2022 and is further
based, in part, on the following annual assumptions:
- General and
administrative expense of $30.0 to $31.0 million;
- Five new
restaurants;
- Net capital
expenditures (net of tenant improvement allowances) of
approximately $30 to $35 million;
- Restaurant
pre-opening expenses of approximately $2.5 to $2.7 million;
- An effective
annual tax rate (excluding unusual items) of approximately 13% to
14%;
- Annual weighted
diluted shares outstanding of 18.1 million to 18.2 million.
(1) Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP
measure. For a reconciliation of adjusted net income for fiscal
2022 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure see the
accompanying financial tables. For a discussion of why we consider
adjusted net income useful, see "Non-GAAP Measures" below.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of
2023 adjusted net income per diluted share or the most directly
comparable forward-looking GAAP measure of net income per diluted
share because the timing and nature of excluded items are
unreasonably difficult to fully and accurately estimate. As a
result, we are unable to assess the probable significance of the
unavailable information.
The following definitions apply to these
terms as used in this release:
Comparable restaurant sales
reflect changes in sales for the comparable group of restaurants
over a specified period of time as compared to that time in the
prior year. We consider a restaurant to be comparable in the first
full quarter following the 18th month of operations. Changes in
comparable sales reflect changes in customer count trends as well
as changes in average check. Our comparable restaurant base
consisted of 94 restaurants at June 25, 2023.
Restaurant-level operating
margin represents income from operations plus the sum of
general and administrative expenses, restaurant pre-opening costs,
impairment, closed restaurants and other costs, and
depreciation.
Average check is calculated by
dividing revenue by total entrées sold for a given time period.
Average check reflects menu price increases as well as changes in
menu mix.
Average weekly customers is
measured by the number of entrées sold per week. Our management
team uses this metric to measure changes in customer traffic.
Operating margin represents
income from operations as a percentage of our revenue. By
monitoring and controlling our operating margins, we can gauge the
overall profitability of our Company.
Total restaurant operating
costs includes cost of sales, labor, operating,
occupancy and marketing costs.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this release that are not
historical facts, including, without limitation, those relating to
the Company’s 2023 outlook, including 2023 adjusted net income,
general and administrative expense, new restaurant openings, net
capital expenditures, restaurant pre-opening expenses, effective
annual tax rate and annual weighted diluted shares outstanding
guidance, an estimated $0.08 to $0.10 per diluted share positive
impact due to an extra week in the fourth quarter of 2023 as
compared to 2022, pipeline of unit growth, position to capitalize
on positive momentum and vast opportunities ahead and other
statements that can often be identified by words such as “expect,”
“believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plans” and similar expressions,
and variations or negatives of these words are forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Such
statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of
management of the Company. Actual results may vary materially from
those contained in forward-looking statements based on a number of
factors including, without limitation, the actual number of
restaurant openings, the sales at the Company’s restaurants,
changes in restaurant development or operating costs, such as food
and labor, the Company’s ability to leverage its existing
management and infrastructure, changes in restaurant pre-opening
expense, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures,
our effective tax rate, impairment, closed restaurant and other
costs, changes in the number of diluted shares outstanding,
strength of consumer spending, conditions beyond the Company’s
control such as timing of holidays, weather, natural disasters,
acts of war or terrorism, the timing and amount of repurchases of
our common stock, if any, changes to the Company’s expected
liquidity position, the possibility that the repurchase program may
be suspended or discontinued and other factors disclosed from time
to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission. Investors should take such risks into account
when making investment decisions. Stockholders and other readers
are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking
statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking
statements, except as required by law.
Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare our financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. Within our press release, we make reference
to non-GAAP restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted net
income. Restaurant-level operating margin represents income from
operations plus the sum of general and administrative expenses,
restaurant pre-opening costs, impairment, closed restaurant and
other costs, and depreciation. Restaurant-level operating margin is
presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for
investors to assess the operating performance of our restaurants
without the effect of non-cash depreciation expense; and (ii) we
use restaurant-level operating margin internally as a benchmark to
evaluate our restaurant operating performance and to compare our
performance to that of our competitors. Additionally, we present
restaurant-level operating margin because it excludes the impact of
general and administrative expenses, which are not incurred at the
restaurant level, restaurant pre-opening costs, and impairment,
closed restaurant and other costs. Although we incur pre-opening
costs on an ongoing basis as we continue to open new restaurants,
the pre-opening costs, and impairment, closed restaurant and other
costs are not components of a restaurant's ongoing operating
expenses. The use of restaurant-level operating margin thereby
enables us and our investors to compare operating performance
between periods and to compare our operating performance to the
performance of our competitors. The measure is also widely used
within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level
productivity, efficiency and performance. The use of
restaurant-level operating margin 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 or that vary widely among
similar companies.
Adjusted net income represents net income before
impairment, closed restaurant and other costs, and the income tax
effect of these adjustments. We believe the use of adjusted net
income provides additional information to enable us and our
investors to facilitate year-over-year performance comparison and a
comparison to the performance of our peers.
Restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted
net income exclude various expenses as discussed above that may
materially impact our consolidated results of operations. As a
result, these measures are not indicative of the Company’s
consolidated results of operations. We present these measures
exclusively as supplements to, and not substitutes for, net income
or income from operations computed in accordance with GAAP. As
supplemental disclosures, restaurant-level operating margin and
adjusted net income should not be considered as alternatives to net
income or income from operations as an indicator of our performance
or as alternatives to any other measure determined in accordance
with GAAP.
