The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today issued preliminary financial targets for the first quarter 2022 and updated its investor presentation, which can be accessed from the Investor Relations tab of the Company’s website at www.togrp.com under “News / Events”. The Company also reiterated that it will host a fireside chat at the Jefferies Virtual Winter Restaurant, Foodservice, Gaming, Lodging & Leisure Summit today at 12:30 pm Eastern Time.

Preliminary targets for the first quarter 2022 are as follows:

  • Total GAAP revenues of approximately $67.0 million to $68.2 million;
    • Owned restaurant net revenue of $64.0 million to $65.0 million;
    • Management, license and incentive fee revenue of $3.0 million to $3.2 million; and
  • Total G&A of approximately $6.5 million.

On January 11, 2022, the Company announced preliminary sales for the fourth quarter 2021:

  • Total GAAP revenues increased approximately 86.4% to approximately $83.9 million from $45.0 million compared to the same period in 2020;
  • Consolidated comparable sales* increased 49.8% compared to the same period in 2019;
  • Comparable sales* for STK increased 60.0% compared to the same period in 2019; and,
  • Comparable sales* for Kona Grill increased 38.2% compared to the same period in 2019.

*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. Two-year comparable sales relate to the comparison of comparable sales for the period of 10/1/2021 through 12/31/2021 to the period of 10/1/2019 through 12/31/2019. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions; the Company has presented two-year comparable sales to illustrate how sales at its restaurant base before the COVID-19 pandemic compare to sales as COVID-19 restrictions have eased.

On January 11, 2022 the Company announced preliminary sales highlights for the full year 2021:

  • Total GAAP revenues increased approximately 95.1% to approximately $277.0 million from $141.9 million compared to the full year 2020; and,
  • U.S. STK brand restaurant sales increased approximately 154.6% to a record $195.1 million for the full year 2021.

The Company continues to anticipate general and administrative expenses, including stock-based compensation for the full year 2021, to be between $25.0 and $26.0 million, depending on the ultimate calculation of performance-based compensation.
