Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the third quarter 2021 (“Q3 2021”) compared to the third quarter 2020 (“Q3 2020”).

CEO Comments

“Q3 represented another quarter of strong results with significant sales, margin and earnings growth,” said David Deno, Chief Executive Officer. “This performance is a result of the great work by our employees in the restaurants and the restaurant support center. Recently, we have seen inflationary pressures in our business and have levers available to combat these headwinds and achieve our margin targets. We remain confident in our strategy and are well positioned to deliver our long-term goals of growing healthy sales, optimizing margins, and increasing cash flow.”

  • The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales from in-restaurant dining and strong retention of off-premises sales, (ii) the net impact of restaurant openings and closures and (iii) higher franchise revenues.
  • GAAP restaurant-level operating margin decreased primarily due to: (i) the Carrabba’s Italian Grill royalty termination, (ii) higher labor costs and commodity inflation and (iii) higher utilities, rent and operating expense. These decreases were partially offset by higher comparable restaurant sales and lower advertising expense.
  • GAAP operating income margin increased primarily due to higher comparable restaurant sales from in-restaurant dining and strong retention of off-premises sales, and higher franchise revenues.
  • Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin and adjusted operating income margin exclude the impact of the Carrabba’s Italian Grill royalty termination and are up significantly on a two-year basis to 2019.

Third Quarter Comparable Restaurant Sales

Third quarter U.S. comparable restaurant sales results were positive on a two-year basis given strong retention of off-premises sales. In August 2021, sales began decelerating due to traditional seasonality and concerns over the Delta variant. In addition, there was significant promotional activity during 2019 at Outback Steakhouse that we chose not to replicate in 2021 given the evolving consumer environment, including offers tied to the launch of our third party delivery channel. Despite these headwinds in Q3, U.S. comparable restaurant sales increased 9.5% when compared to Q3 2019.

The following table includes Company-owned comparable restaurant sales for the third quarter ended September 26, 2021 relative to 2019 and 2020:

The following tables include quarter-to-date U.S. Company-owned comparable restaurant sales for the four-week period ended October 24, 2021 and weekly U.S. comparable average unit volumes for the periods indicated. During this period the Company chose not to replicate 2019 marketing activities and promotions at Outback Steakhouse given the evolving consumer environment. This had a significant impact on 2021 comparable restaurant sales as compared to 2019.

Recent Sales Results - Brazil

Brazil’s fourth quarter-to-date comparable restaurant sales have continued to strengthen due to an increase in in-restaurant dining capacity for a majority of the country as COVID-19 case counts decline and vaccination rates increase. In São Paulo, which represents our largest market with 46% of stores, in-restaurant dining capacity increased to 80% on August 1, 2021, providing optimism about the continued recovery.

Q4 2021 Financial Outlook

The table below presents our expectations for selected fiscal Q4 2021 operating results. Our outlook assumes no significant business interruptions related to COVID-19 and contemplates the following:

  • Continuing U.S. sales trends and includes a level of traditional Q4 seasonality;
  • Achieving ongoing operating efficiencies from simplification efforts, waste reduction and lower advertising;
  • Impact from Florida minimum wage increases due to legislative changes that went into effect in September, higher wage pressures and retention efforts, as well as increased commodity inflation; and
  • Q4 Adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance of at least $0.50 represents growth of 56% versus Q4 2019.

(2) Assumes weighted average diluted shares of approximately 109 million, which includes the dilutive impact of shares issuable in excess of the convertible note principal and excludes the benefit of the convertible notes hedge.
(3) Assumes weighted average adjusted diluted shares of approximately 98 million, which excludes common shares to be issued upon conversion of the 2025 Notes for the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible note hedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes.

Fiscal 2021 Financial Outlook

We are updating our 2021 financial outlook for the following items:

  • Increased commodity inflation reflecting increases in protein costs, primarily chicken and seafood, as we acquired additional supply outside of our contracted terms due to higher sales volumes and strategic contract pricing to secure next year's supply; and
  • Higher labor inflation from increased wage pressures, training costs, and retention efforts.

All other aspects of our previously provided financial outlook remain unchanged. See the table below for more details.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call today, November 2, 2021 at 8:15 AM EDT. The conference call will be webcast live from the Company’s website at http://www.bloominbrands.com under the Investors section. A replay of this webcast will be available on the Company’s website after the call.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) Adjusted income (loss) from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted net income (loss), (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, (v) Adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margin, (vi) Adjusted segment income (loss) from operations and the corresponding margin and (vii) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”).

We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in tables five, six, seven and ten included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

_________________

(1) We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on Restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are typically used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

_________________

(1) The table set forth below titled “Restaurant-level Operating Margin Adjustments” provides additional information regarding the adjustments for each period presented.

(2) The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:

(a) Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income.

(b) Depreciation and amortization which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants.

(c) General and administrative expense which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices.

(d) Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant performance in a period.

Restaurant-level Operating Margin Adjustments - Following is a summary of (favorable) unfavorable adjusted restaurant-level operating margin adjustments recorded in Other restaurant operating expense (unless otherwise noted below) for the following activities, as described in table six of this release for the periods indicated:

_________________

(1) Payment made to the founders of our Carrabba’s Italian Grill concept in connection with an agreement to terminate future royalty payments.

(2) The thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2021 includes: (i) an adjustment of $(3.2) million to reduce our initial recorded estimate and net $3.1 million benefit from the recognition of recoverable PIS and COFINS taxes, including accrued interest, respectively, within other revenues as a result of favorable court rulings and (ii) an accrual of $2.7 million for ISS, a Brazilian municipal service tax, in connection with royalties from our Brazilian subsidiary over the past five years, including related penalties and interest, recorded within Other restaurant operating expense as a result of an unfavorable Brazilian Supreme Court ruling.

(3) Costs incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily consisting of fixed asset and right-of-use asset impairments, restructuring charges, inventory obsolescence and spoilage, contingent lease liabilities and current expected credit losses.

(4) Severance, professional fees and other costs incurred as a result of transformational and restructuring activities.

(5) Primarily includes a lease termination gain of $2.8 million.

(6) Adjustment for interest expense related to our convertible senior notes (the “2025 Notes”) weighted for the portion of the period prior to our election under the 2025 Notes indenture to settle the principal portion of our 2025 Notes in cash. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the 2025 Notes interest adjustment.

(7) Amortization of debt discount related to the issuance of the 2025 Notes.

(8) Income tax effect of the adjustments for the periods presented.

(9) Consideration paid in excess of the carrying value for the redemption of preferred stock of our Abbraccio concept.

(10) Due to the GAAP net loss, the effect of dilutive securities was excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted loss per share for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2020.

(11) For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated assuming our February 2021 election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash was in effect for the entire period. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 26, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 10,476 and 10,453 shares, respectively, to be issued upon conversion of the 2025 Notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible note hedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes.
