Brinker International Provides First Quarter Of Fiscal 2021 Outlook And Reports Fourth Quarter Of Fiscal 2020 Results
DALLAS, Aug. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) today provided a business update related to the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and announced results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 ended June 24, 2020.
"Our continued strategic focus on value, off-premise, digital and scale is allowing us to successfully navigate through the pandemic," said Wyman Roberts, Chief Executive Officer and President of Brinker International. "Leaning into these existing strategies with a clear focus and continually prioritizing the safety of our Team Members and Guests has allowed us to accelerate our performance and deliver industry leading results."
Fiscal 2021 First Quarter-to-Date Highlights
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021 Chili's and Maggiano's continue to operate with reduced dining room capacities due to state and local mandates related to COVID-19. The following represents a business update from our first period of fiscal 2021 ended July 29, 2020, related to Company-owned restaurants:
- As of July 29, 2020, there were 885 Chili's and 52 Maggiano's Company-owned restaurants with dining rooms or patios open, representing 84.0% of total Company-owned restaurants. Capacities are limited in accordance with state and local mandates
- Comparable restaurant sales for the first period of fiscal 2021, ended July 29, 2020, compared to the prior year are as follows:

- Brinker had total liquidity of $576.2 million as of July 29, 2020
Fiscal 2021 Outlook
We are providing a financial outlook for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 quarter instead of our usual practice of providing an annual outlook. Forecasting longer term business performance is not reliable given the uncertainties created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We plan to update our financial outlook on a quarterly basis until such time we can reliably forecast on a longer term basis.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Guidance
- Adjusted net loss per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.25
- Comparable restaurant sales are expected to be down low to mid-teens
- Operating cash flow is expected to be positive
- Weighted average diluted shares is expected to be 45.0 million to 46.0 million
Fiscal 2021 is a 53-week year, and includes an extra operating week in the fourth quarter.
We are unable to reliably forecast special items such as restaurant impairments, restaurant closures, reorganization charges and legal settlements without unreasonable effort. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures. If special items are reported during fiscal 2021, reconciliations to the appropriate GAAP measures will be provided.
Fiscal 2020 Highlights - Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year
Financial metrics of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, and fiscal year 2020 compared to fiscal year 2019, were negatively impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the acquisition of 116 Chili's restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and increased off-premise sales. For non-GAAP information and related reconciliations, refer to the tables and information at the end of this earnings release.
- Reported earnings per diluted share was a loss of $1.20 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and earnings of $0.63 in fiscal 2020
- Adjusted earnings per diluted share was a loss of $0.88 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020, and earnings of $1.71 in fiscal 2020
- Cash flows from operating activities in the full fiscal year 2020 were $245.0 million, and capital expenditures totaled $104.5 million resulting in free cash flow of $140.5 million

Chili's
- Chili's Company sales and Total revenues decreased primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic that impacted restaurant sales due to guests dining out less, temporary dining room closures and capacity limitations, partially offset by the acquisition of 116 Chili's restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 and increased off-premise sales
- Chili's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to sales deleverage as a result of COVID-19, higher expenses primarily related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales, and unfavorable commodity pricing. These increases were partially offset by lower advertising expenses, lower manager and hourly labor expenses as a result of COVID-19 decreased sales and closures, lower repairs and maintenance expenses, and favorable menu item mix
Maggiano's
- Maggiano's Company sales and Total revenues decreased due to lower comparable restaurant sales driven by guests dining out less, temporary dining and banquet room closures and limited capacity of reopened locations from the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by increased off-premise sales
- Maggiano's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales increased primarily due to sales deleverage as a result of COVID-19, higher expenses primarily related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales, and unfavorable commodity pricing. These increases were partially offset by lower manager and hourly labor expenses as a result of COVID-19 decreased sales and closures, lower repairs and maintenance expenses, favorable menu item mix primarily related to seafood, lower utilities expenses, and favorable menu pricing
Franchise and other revenues
- Franchise and other revenues include royalties and advertising fees that are based on franchise sales. Our franchisees generated sales of approximately $82.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to $331.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our domestic and global franchise restaurants, and the acquisition of 116 Chili's restaurants from a franchisee in the first quarter of fiscal 2020
- Maggiano's Franchise and other revenues decreased primarily due to lower banquet fee income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
Income Taxes
- On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 27.8% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to an expense of 5.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily driven by the impact of a net loss before income taxes, due to reduced profitability related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the leverage on the FICA tax credit relative to the net loss before income taxes in fiscal 2020. Excluding the impact of special items (see non-GAAP reconciliation below for details), the effective income rate was a benefit of 26.9% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to an expense of 10.1% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (Unaudited) at June 24, 2020 included the final purchase price allocation for the 116 Chili's restaurants acquired on September 5, 2019. Of the 1,116 Company-owned restaurant locations, at June 24, 2020, we own both building and land for 43 restaurant locations. The related book values associated with these restaurants included land of $34.1 million and buildings of $13.9 million.
Additionally, effective fiscal 2020, we adopted ASC 842, the new lease accounting standard that required us to recognize operating lease assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. Upon adoption, we eliminated the remaining deferred balance associated with the fiscal 2019 sale leaseback transactions gain and related deferred tax asset. Under our historical accounting, operating leases were not recognized in the balance sheet. Prior results have not been restated for the impact of this accounting change.

Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months except acquired restaurants which are included after more than 12 months ownership. Restaurants temporarily closed 14 days or more are excluded from comparable restaurant sales. Percentage amounts are calculated based on the comparable periods year-over-year. |
(2) |
Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests. |
(3) |
Chili's Franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited); however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe including franchise comparable restaurant sales provides investors information regarding brand performance that is relevant to current operations. |
(4) |
Chili's Domestic Comparable Restaurant Sales percentages are derived from sales generated by Company-owned and franchise-operated Chili's restaurants in the United States. |
(5) |
System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales are derived from sales generated by Company-owned Chili's and Maggiano's restaurants in addition to the sales generated at franchise-operated Chili's restaurants. |
Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) Per Share (in millions, except per share)

Special items in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 consist of a charge of $16.7 million in Other (gains) and charges that included charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and $2.4 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets. Special items in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 consist of a $7.9 million charge in Other (gains) and charges, and $0.8 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets. |
Special items in fiscal 2020 consist of a charge of $47.4 million in Other (gains) and charges that included charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and $9.8 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets. Special items in fiscal 2019 consist of a gain of $4.5 million in Other (gains) and charges, partially offset by $3.4 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets. Footnote "(2)" to the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited) contains additional details on the composition of Other (gains) and charges for each period presented. |

Restaurant operating margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant operating margin is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall Company performance and profitability because this measure does not directly accrue benefit to the shareholders due to the nature of costs excluded. We define Restaurant operating margin as Company sales less Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses. We believe this metric provides a more useful comparison between periods and enables investors to focus on the performance of restaurant-level operations by excluding revenues not related to food and beverage sales at Company-owned restaurants, corporate General and administrative expenses, Depreciation and amortization, and Other (gains) and charges.
Restaurant operating margin excludes Franchise and other revenues which are earned primarily from franchise royalties, advertising fees, and other non-food and beverage revenues streams such as gift card breakage, banquet service charges, delivery fee income, and digital entertainment revenues. Depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which are related to restaurant-level assets, are excluded because such expenses represent historical costs which do not reflect current cash outlays for the restaurants. General and administrative expenses include primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices and are therefore excluded. We believe that excluding special items, included within Other (gains) and charges, from Restaurant operating margin provides investors with a clearer perspective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.
Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow (in millions)
