      DALLAS, Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 ended September 28, 2022.

      "I'm encouraged by our quick progress to grow topline sales and simplify operations," said Kevin Hochman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Brinker International. "And now that we've defined our key areas of focus, we are moving quickly to execute strategies designed to strengthen our position in casual dining and grow our core business over time."

      Fiscal 2023 Highlights - First Quarter

      • Brinker International reported Company sales(1) of $946.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 as compared to $865.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
      • Operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $19.8 million as compared to Operating income of $25.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Operating loss, as a percentage of Total revenues, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 2.1% as compared to Operating income, as a percentage of Total revenues, of 2.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The primary driver of the operating loss in the first quarter was the significant increase in Food and beverage costs due mainly to chicken and beef pricing.
      • Restaurant operating margin(1), as a percentage of Company sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was 6.0% as compared to 11.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The decline in restaurant operating margin was primarily driven by commodity price inflation of approximately 24% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
      • Net loss per diluted share, on a GAAP basis, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.69 as compared to Net income per diluted share of $0.28 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
      • Net loss per diluted share, excluding special items, in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $0.57 as compared to Net income per diluted share of $0.34 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
      • Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 was $27.1 million as compared to $69.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.

      For comparable restaurant sales details and non-GAAP reconciliations, please refer to the Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations section of this release.

      Basis of Presentation

      Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we are presenting certain revenue streams within Company sales to better align with the presentation used within the casual dining industry. Our presentation of Franchise revenues will now include only revenues related to the franchise-operated restaurants. Comparative figures in prior years have been adjusted to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on Total revenues or Net income previously reported.

      Company sales include revenues generated by the operation of Company-owned restaurants including food and beverage sales, net of discounts, Maggiano's banquet service charge income, gift card breakage, delivery income, digital entertainment revenues, merchandise income and gift card discount costs from third-party gift card sales.

      Franchise revenues include franchise royalties, franchise advertising fees, franchise and development fees and gift card equalization.

      Chili's

      • Chili's Company sales increased primarily due to increased menu pricing, favorable menu item mix and the acquisition of 68 restaurants in fiscal 2022, partially offset by lower traffic.
      • Chili's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to higher commodity costs, delivery fees, manager salary expenses, hourly wage rates, utilities expenses and rent expenses. These increases were partially offset by sales leverage and lower advertising.

      Maggiano's

      • Maggiano's Company sales increased primarily due to higher dining room and banquet traffic and increased menu pricing.
      • Maggiano's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to higher commodity costs, delivery fees, utilities expenses, maintenance costs, rent expenses and increased restaurant labor costs. These increases were partially offset by sales leverage.

      Income Taxes

      • On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 4.7% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023 which is lower than the statutory rate of 21.0% due to leverage of the FICA tip tax credit. Excluding the impact of special items, the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 5.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

      Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months. 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.

      Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests.

      Chili's and Maggiano's franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in Total 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 presenting Franchise Comparable Restaurant Sales provides investors relevant information regarding total brand performance.

      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 Chili's and Maggiano's Company-owned and franchise-operated restaurants.

      Reconciliation of Net Income Excluding Special Items (in millions, except per share amounts)

      Brinker believes excluding special items from its financial results provides investors with a clearer perspective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and a more relevant comparison to prior period results.

      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 as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.

      Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (in millions)

      Brinker believes presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of our operating performance, excluding the impacts of financing costs, capital expenditures and special items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Operating (loss) income before Depreciation and amortization and Other (gains) and charges.
