  • The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) the benefit of Brazil value added tax exemptions, (ii) the effect of foreign currency translation and (iii) the net impact of restaurant openings and closures.
  • GAAP operating income margin improved from Q3 2022 primarily due to an increase in restaurant-level operating margin as described below and a lease termination gain partially offset by higher depreciation expense.
  • Restaurant-level operating margin improved from Q3 2022 primarily due to: (i) an increase in average check per person, (ii) the impact of certain cost saving and productivity initiatives and (iii) the benefit of Brazil value added tax exemptions. These increases were partially offset by: (i) labor, operating expense and commodity inflation and (ii) higher advertising expense.

Dividend Declaration and Share Repurchases

On October 17, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share, payable on November 29, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 14, 2023.

During 2023, we repurchased 2.4 million shares for a total of $61 million through October 31, 2023. On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a $125 million authorization (the “2023 Share Repurchase Program”) that will expire on August 7, 2024. We have $79 million of share repurchase authorization remaining under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program.

Fiscal 2023 Financial Outlook

The table below presents our updated expectations for the 2023 fiscal year. We are updating assumptions for U.S. comparable restaurant sales, diluted earnings per share and effective income tax rate. This change is primarily driven by a reduction in traffic assumptions across our portfolio due to a softer casual dining environment. We are also updating our capital expenditure expectation due to the acceleration of project spend into Fiscal 2023 from Fiscal 2024. We are reaffirming all other aspects of our full-year financial guidance as previously communicated in our February 16, 2023 earnings release.

The Company has four founder-inspired brands: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. The Company owns and operates more than 1,450 restaurants in 47 states, Guam and 13 countries, some of which are franchise locations. For more information, please visit www.bloominbrands.com.

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: (i) Restaurant-level operating income, adjusted restaurant-level operating income and their corresponding margins, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iv) Adjusted net income and (v) Adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Restaurant-level operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure widely regarded in the industry as a useful metric to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations, and we use it for these purposes, overall and particularly within our two segments.

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 Four, Five, Six and Seven 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 following categories of 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.

(2) The thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2022 includes losses primarily in connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, including settlements of the related convertible senior note hedges and warrants.
(3) Includes a $2.9 million adjustment during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023 related to a Brazil federal income tax exemption on certain state value added tax benefits. Also includes the tax effects of non-GAAP adjustments determined based on the nature of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments and their relevant jurisdictional tax rates. For the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2022, the primary difference between GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates relates to certain non-deductible losses and other tax costs associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase.
(4) Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 5,367 and 3,690 shares for the thirteen weeks ended September 24, 2023 and September 25, 2022, respectively, and 5,067 and 6,732 shares for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 2023 and September 25, 2022, 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.
