Diversified Restaurant Holdings Reports Third Quarter 2017 Results

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAUC) ("DRH" or the "Company"), the largest franchisee for Buffalo Wild Wings® ("BWW") with 65 stores across five states, today announced results for its third quarter ended September 24, 2017.

Third Quarter and Year-to-date Key Information (from continuing operations)

Revenue for the quarter totaled $39.3 million, down 5.7%
Same-store sales declined 4.4% and are down 2.7% for the year
Net loss was $0.5 million in the quarter; near breakeven for the year-to-date period
Restaurant-level EBITDA(1) was $6.2 million, or 15.9% of sales, and stands at $21.1 million for the year, or 17.1% of sales
Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $4.3 million for the quarter and $14.9 million for the year

Total sales during the quarter were reduced by approximately $0.6 million related to Hurricane Irma, and an additional $0.3 million as a result of deferrals recorded related to the Blazin’ Rewards loyalty program.

“While facing multiple headwinds during the quarter, we focused our efforts on operational excellence to increase efficiency and run a leaner organization,” commented David G. Burke, President and CEO. “While cost of sales increased over 200 basis points as a direct result of record high chicken wing prices, we controlled our labor and other operating expenses despite lower sales.”

Mr. Burke added, “We also had some solid wins in the quarter and are making great progress with our productivity initiatives. We continued our ‘BOGO’ traditional wing promotional test in our captive markets, which replaced the half-off promotion with a “buy one, get one” offer limited to smaller order sizes. The test continues to demonstrate improved sales and average check with lower wing costs as a percent of sales. We intend to invest more in revenue-driving initiatives in the fourth quarter in addition to our delivery and loyalty programs. We also expect to benefit from a new corporate promotional campaign that is slated to kick off in the second half of the fourth quarter.”

Restaurant-Level EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus the sum of non-restaurant specific general and administrative expenses, restaurant pre-opening costs, loss on property and equipment disposals, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, interest, taxes, and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus the sum of restaurant pre-opening costs, loss on property and equipment disposals, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, interest, taxes, and non-recurring expenses. We are presenting Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP, because we believe they provide additional metrics by which to evaluate our operations. When considered together with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to our net income, we believe they provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We use Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, income from operations, net income, and cash flows from operations, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance the understanding of our core operating performance. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because: (i) we believe they are useful measures for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses; (ii) we believe investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness; and (iii) they are used internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors.

Additionally, we present Restaurant-Level EBITDA because it excludes the impact of general and administrative expenses and restaurant pre-opening costs, which is non-recurring. The use of Restaurant-Level EBITDA thereby enables us and our investors to compare our 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on 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. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structure and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management team believes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of the foregoing variations.

Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Neither Restaurant-Level EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and our presentation of Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our management recognizes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical financial measures.

Diversified Restaurant Holdings Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results

SOUTHFIELD, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAUC) ("DRH" or the "Company"), the largest franchisee for Buffalo Wild Wings® ("BWW") with 65 stores across five states, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 25, 2017.

Second Quarter Key Information (from continuing operations)

Revenue totaled $39.9 million, down 2.5%
Same-store sales decreased 3.67% for the quarter and are off 1.95% for the year
Restaurant-level EBITDA was $6.6 million, or 16.6% of sales(1)
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $4.6 million, or 11.6% of sales(1)
Net loss for the quarter was $0.3 million, with year-to-date net income of $0.5 million
Cash generated from operations was $2.1 million for the quarter and $6.5 million year-to-date
Total debt of $118.1 million is down $3.0 million for the year
(1) See attached table for a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to Restaurant-level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

“With a focus on productivity and prudent ROI-based spending decisions, we completed the bulk of our capital projects for the year and continued to generate positive free cash flow, which was used to pay down debt,” commented David G. Burke, President and CEO. “We also maintained efficient use of labor, and have decreased overhead expenses as we are on track to achieve at least $1 million in run rate savings in G&A. Additionally, we’ve implemented a number of productivity initiatives in an effort to combat inflationary input costs. These actions are targeting $3 to $4 million in annualized savings.”

Mr. Burke added, “Delivery service is now in place at 38 of our locations and continues to show strong growth without cannibalizing our carry-out business. The Half-Price Wing Tuesdays® promotion has been beneficial in driving strong traffic to our restaurants, and our ‘BOGO’ test, which replaced the half-off message with a buy one, get one offer limited to smaller order sizes, is showing promising early results. We believe actions such as these position us well for when macro headwinds subside.

“Our sales for the quarter were negatively impacted by unfavorable sports outcomes in each of our core markets, with 60 key NHL and NBA play-off games last year dropping an unprecedented level to only 20 this year. Coupled with the Easter holiday closure moving to the second quarter this year and two major road construction projects, the sales headwinds were difficult to overcome. However, adjusted for these items, we did see positive traffic, and sales momentum increased later in the quarter. We’re also contending with margin pressure driven by record high traditional chicken wing prices, which added 169 basis points to our cost of sales for the quarter,” concluded Mr. Burke.

The same-store sales decrease of 367 basis points was driven by 115 basis points from the Easter holiday shift, approximately 200 basis points from the unfavorable sports outcomes noted above and 60 basis points from significant traffic-disrupting construction in two of our locations. Geographically, the Midwest continued to perform relatively well, while the Florida market remains contracted, particularly in the coastal segments of the franchise region.

Revenue of $170 million to $173 million
Restaurant-level EBITDA of $31 million to $33 million
Adjusted EBITDA between $22.5 million to $24.5 million
Capital expenditures of approximately $5 million to $6 million

Restaurant-Level EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus the sum of non-restaurant specific general and administrative expenses, restaurant pre-opening costs, loss on property and equipment disposals, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, interest, taxes, and non-recurring expenses. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) plus the sum of restaurant pre-opening costs, loss on property and equipment disposals, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, interest, taxes, and non-recurring expenses. We are presenting Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP, because we believe they provide additional metrics by which to evaluate our operations. When considered together with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to our net income, we believe they provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We use Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, income from operations, net income, and cash flows from operations, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance the understanding of our core operating performance. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because: (i) we believe they are useful measures for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses; (ii) we believe investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness; and (iii) they are used internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors.

Additionally, we present Restaurant-Level EBITDA because it excludes the impact of general and administrative expenses and restaurant pre-opening costs, which is non-recurring. The use of Restaurant-Level EBITDA thereby enables us and our investors to compare our 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on 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. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structure and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management team believes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of the foregoing variations.

Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Neither Restaurant-Level EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and our presentation of Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our management recognizes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical financial measures.
