Outlook Fiscal Year 2022

As a result of our continued strong financial results, the Company updated certain elements of its previous guidance for fiscal year 2022:

• Same-restaurant sales growth at the top end of the 13.0% to 15.0% range with continued positive traffic
• Total revenues growth of 20.0% to 22.0% relative to 2021
• Total of 44 new restaurant openings (30 new company-owned restaurants and 14 new franchise-owned restaurants)
• Capital expenditures of $60.0 million to $63.0 million, which includes investments in new restaurant projects, planned remodels and new in-restaurant technology
• Blended tax rate of 40.0% to 41.0%
  

The Company confirms certain elements of its previous guidance for fiscal year 2022:

• Adjusted EBITDA* in the range of $70.0 million to $72.0 million
  

______________________
* We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Q3 2022 Financial Results

Total revenues increased 18.7% to $186.9 million in Q3 2022 from $157.4 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to (i) same-restaurant sales growth of 12.0%, driven by same-restaurant traffic growth of 3.7%, menu price increases and the increase in third-party delivery sales, (ii) 23 company-owned restaurants that opened between September 26, 2021 and September 25, 2022 and (iii) the increase in franchise revenues primarily due to higher sales from franchise-owned restaurants as well as 12 franchise-owned restaurants that opened between September 26, 2021 and September 25, 2022.

Income from operations decreased to $2.6 million in Q3 2022 from $7.2 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to (i) inflation across commodities and supplies, (ii) the increase in restaurant-level wages and staffing, (iii) higher operating costs and expenses driven by higher restaurant sales and our restaurant growth and (iv) higher general and administrative expenses mainly due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $2.3 million from certain stock option awards that converted into time-based stock options upon the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in October 2021 in addition to stock option awards and restricted stock units granted under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan, as well expenses associated with being a public company. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in total revenues.

Income from operations margin decreased to 1.4% in Q3 2022 from 4.6% in Q3 2021 primarily due to (i) inflation across commodities and supplies, (ii) the increase in restaurant-level wages and staffing and (iii) higher general and administrative expenses mainly due to the increase in stock-based compensation expense and expenses associated with being a public company. This decrease was partially offset by menu price increases.

Restaurant level operating profit increased to $31.9 million in Q3 2022 from $30.2 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to same-restaurant sales growth of 12.0%, driven by same-restaurant traffic growth of 3.7%, menu price increases and the increase in third-party delivery sales. This increase was partially offset by (i) inflation across commodities and supplies, (ii) the increase in restaurant-level wages and staffing and (iii) the increase in operating costs and expenses driven by higher restaurant sales and our restaurant growth.

Restaurant level operating profit margin decreased to 17.3% in Q3 2022 from 19.5% in Q3 2021 primarily due to (i) inflation across commodities and supplies and (ii) the increase restaurant-level wages and staffing. This decrease was partially offset by menu price increases.

Net income decreased to $46.0 thousand in Q3 2022 as compared to $0.8 million in Q3 2021 primarily due to (i) the decrease in income from operations, (ii) $1.6 million of costs incurred by us in connection with the secondary public offering of the Company’s common stock by entities affiliated with our majority owner, Advent International Corporation (the “Secondary Offering”) and (iii) higher income tax expense, which was mainly driven by the change in the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred tax assets, the benefit of tax credits for FICA taxes on certain employees’ tips, limitations on deductions of certain compensation and non-deductible costs associated with the Secondary Offering. The decrease was partially offset by the reduction in interest expense due to lower outstanding borrowings and lower interest rates from the term facilities pursuant to our credit agreement executed in October 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2022 was flat at $17.0 million compared to Q3 2021 primarily due to the increase in restaurant level operating profit which was offset by higher general and administrative expenses mainly due to legal, accounting, consulting and insurance expenses associated with being a public company.

New Restaurant Openings in Q3 2022 included 7 company-owned and 4 franchise-owned restaurants resulting in a total of 27 system-wide new restaurant openings during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 25, 2022 (18 company-owned and 9 franchise-owned).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP include the following: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin, (iii) Restaurant level operating profit and (iv) Restaurant level operating profit margin (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”). Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures includes isolating the effects of some items that are either nonrecurring in nature or vary from period to period without any correlation to our ongoing core operating performance. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional transparency of our operations, facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance, identifies operational trends and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by us in our financial and operational decision making. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, have important limitations as analytical tools and may not provide a complete understanding of our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the Company’s operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategies, (iii) internally as benchmarks to compare the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and (iv) to provide investors with additional transparency of the Company’s operations. The use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as performance measures permit a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to the Company’s performance based on the Company’s GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that are either nonrecurring in nature or vary from period to period without any correlation to the Company’s ongoing core operating performance.

The following tables reconcile Net income and Net income margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin for the periods indicated:

Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin

Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin are not indicative of our overall results, and because they exclude corporate-level expenses, do not accrue directly to the benefit of our stockholders. We will continue to incur such expenses in the future. Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin are important measures we use to evaluate the performance and profitability of each operating restaurant, individually and in the aggregate and to make decisions regarding future spending and other operational decisions. We believe that Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin provide useful information about our operating results, identify operational trends and allow for transparency with respect to key metrics used by us in our financial and operational decision-making.
