Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2023 Q1 Financial Results
Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2023 Q1 Financial Results

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the first quarter 2023 (“Q1 2023”) compared to the first quarter 2022 (“Q1 2022”). CEO Comments “The first quarter was a strong start to the year, and I am pleased with the progress of all our brands,” said David Deno, CEO. “Our Q1 results reflected the work we are doing to elevate the customer experience and drive healthy top-line growth. These efforts have resulted in enhanced sales and profits, which set us up well to achieve our 2023 goals.” Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS The following table reconciles Diluted earnings per share to Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated: Q1 2023 2022 CHANGE Diluted earnings per share $ 0.93 $ 0.73 $ 0.20 Adjustments (1) 0.05 0.07 (0.02 ) Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) $ 0.98 $ 0.80 $ 0.18 ___________________ (1) Adjustments for the periods presented reflect consideration of our convertible note hedge, which offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes. There were no adjustments to Net income during the periods presented. See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release. First Quarter Financial Results (dollars in millions, unaudited) Q1 2023 Q1 2022 CHANGE Total revenues $ 1,244.7 $ 1,140.5 9.1 % Operating income margin 9.7 % 9.4 % 0.3 % Restaurant-level operating margin (1) 17.9 % 17.1 % 0.8 % ___________________ (1) See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release. The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales, (ii) the net impact of restaurant openings and closures, (iii) the benefit of Brazil value added tax exemptions and (iv) the effect of foreign currency translation. Operating income margin improved from Q1 2022 due to: (i) increases in comparable restaurant sales, primarily driven by an increase in menu pricing and lapping the impact of COVID-19 in Brazil and Hong Kong, (ii) the impact of certain cost saving initiatives and (iii) the benefit of Brazil value added tax exemptions. These increases were partially offset by commodity, labor and operating expense inflation. First Quarter Comparable Restaurant Sales THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED MARCH 26, 2023 COMPANY-OWNED Comparable restaurant sales (stores open 18 months or more): U.S. Outback Steakhouse 4.9 % Carrabba’s Italian Grill 6.7 % Bonefish Grill 5.2 % Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar 3.6 % Combined U.S. 5.1 % International Outback Steakhouse - Brazil (1) 14.3 % _________________ (1) Excludes the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates and the benefit of Brazil value added tax exemptions. Includes trading day impact from calendar period reporting. Dividend Declaration and Share Repurchases On April 18, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share, payable on May 24, 2023 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 10, 2023. Through April 26, 2023, we repurchased 1.1 million shares for a total of $27 million. 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 $113 million of share repurchase authorization remaining under the 2023 Share Repurchase Program. Fiscal 2023 Financial Outlook We are reaffirming all aspects of our full-year financial guidance as previously communicated in our February 16, 2023 earnings release. Q2 2023 Financial Outlook The table below presents our expectations for selected fiscal Q2 2023 operating results: Financial Results: Q2 2023 Outlook U.S. comparable restaurant sales 0.5% to 1.5% GAAP diluted earnings per share (1) $0.59 to $0.64 Adjusted diluted earnings per share (2) $0.62 to $0.67 _________________ (1) For GAAP purposes assumes weighted average diluted shares of approximately 98 million. (2) Assumes weighted average adjusted diluted shares of approximately 93 million, which includes the benefit of the convertible note hedge entered into in May 2020. Conference Call The Company will host a conference call today, April 28, 2023 at 8:15 AM EDT. The conference call will be webcast live from the Company’s website at http://www.bloominbrands.com under the Investors section. A replay of this webcast will be available on the Company’s website after the call. 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 and the corresponding margin and (ii) 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 and six included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period. About Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. is one of the largest casual dining restaurant companies in the world with a portfolio of leading, differentiated restaurant concepts. The Company has four founder-inspired brands: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar.

SUPPLEMENTAL BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION MARCH 26, 2023 DECEMBER 25, 2022 (dollars in thousands) (UNAUDITED) Cash and cash equivalents $ 94,441 $ 84,735 Net working capital (deficit) (1) $ (672,587 ) $ (632,290 ) Total assets $ 3,231,793 $ 3,320,425 Total debt, net $ 767,969 $ 833,292 Total stockholders’ equity $ 322,841 $ 273,909 _________________ (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. TABLE FOUR BLOOMIN’ BRANDS, INC.

(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.
