Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM), operator of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year ended September 27, 2022.

Key highlights of the Company’s financial results include:

  • Total Revenues increased 11.5% to $138.2 million for the year compared to the 2021 fiscal year
  • Total Restaurant Sales for Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased $1.5 million to $26.0 million for the fourth quarter compared to the prior year fourth quarter and increased $14.6 million to $103.2 million for the year compared to the 2021 fiscal year
  • Same Store Sales1 for company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased 3.7% for the fourth quarter compared to the prior year fourth quarter and increased 11.2% for the year compared to the 2021 fiscal year
  • Total Restaurant Sales for Good Times restaurants increased $0.2 million to $8.9 million for the fourth quarter compared to the same prior year fourth quarter and decreased $0.4 million to $34.0 million for the year compared to the 2021 fiscal year
  • Same Store Sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants increased 5.9% for the fourth quarter compared to the prior year fourth quarter and increased 1.1% for the year compared to the 2021 fiscal year
  • Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders was $1.3 million for the fourth quarter and was $2.6 million for the year
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 (a non-GAAP measure) was $0.9 million for the fourth quarter and was $4.8 million for the year
  • The Company ended the fourth quarter with $8.9 million in cash and no long-term debt

Ryan M. Zink, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Fiscal 2022 was an exciting year from a top-line standpoint, as we grew same store sales at both brands for the full year. During the fourth quarter, our Good Times brand grew same store sales by nearly 6%, which included approximately 7.7% year over year price increases. The minimal traffic declines at our primarily drive-thru brand are encouraging as consumers seem to be resuming their pre-pandemic behaviors. Bad Daddy’s has also benefitted from this shift in behavior as seen in the 11% same store sales increase this year. Both brands have started fiscal 2023 with positive same store sales.”

“Profitability, however, has suffered as we have prioritized preservation of food quality, portion sizes, reasonable pricing and restaurant staffing over a single year’s profitability. We believe that long-term profitability is driven by loyal customers, and that loyal customers are created through consistent brand execution. Building on customer loyalty, we are offering gift cards at large box retailers which drives direct sales through gift card redemption and is increasing brand awareness outside our four walls. Although this program caused additional advertising costs, primarily through commissions incurred, we believe that there is significant long-term value through the new customers reached,” Zink continued.

Mr. Zink concluded, “In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we have completed deployment of new digital menu boards and lane timer systems at Good Times and are actively developing the next generation mobile app for Good Times which will include loyalty and in-restaurant payment functionality, providing greater incentive for loyal customers to engage with this app. Our signage projects at Good Times are underway with completion expected of a third to half of our system in fiscal 2023. At Bad Daddy’s, we intend to resume expansion with the opening of one restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama. Additionally, we are in active negotiation on multiple sites in the Raleigh, North Carolina and Birmingham, Alabama markets.”

Hosting the call will be Ryan M. Zink, its Chief Executive Officer and Matthew Karnes, its Senior Vice President of Finance.

Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that restaurant operating costs are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues (as opposed to total revenues).

The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because like depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company’s investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to (loss) income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tables above set forth certain unaudited information for the current and prior year fiscal quarters and year-to-date periods for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. This measure is presented because we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net (loss) income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and further adjustments to reflect the additions and eliminations presented in the table above.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses and asset disposals, closure costs and restaurant impairments, and (ii) we use adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark for certain of our cash incentive plans and to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of adjusted EBITDA 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. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and income tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property, plant and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of these foregoing variations. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items.
