Bloomin' Brands Announces 2015 First Quarter Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.54 and Diluted EPS of $0.47

May 5, 2015 at 7:00 AM EDT

TAMPA, Fla., May 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomin' Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq:BLMN) today reported financial results for the first quarter ("Q1 2015") ended March 29, 2015 compared to the first quarter ("Q1 2014") ended March 30, 2014.

Key highlights for Q1 2015 include the following:

  • Comparable sales for Company-owned U.S. concepts increased 3.6% with a traffic increase of 0.7%
  • Comparable sales for our Brazilian Outback Steakhouse restaurants increased 6.2%
  • System-wide development was 14 new restaurants. In March 2015, we opened our first International Carrabba's Italian Grill in Brazil, known as Abbraccio
  • Adjusted operating income margin was 9.1% versus 8.4% in Q1 2014 and U.S. GAAP operating income margin was 8.1% versus 7.8% in the Q1 2014
  • Adjusted net income was $69.7 million versus $58.5 million in Q1 2014 and U.S. GAAP Net income attributable to Bloomin' Brands was $60.6 million versus $53.7 million in Q1 2014

Adjusted Diluted EPS and Diluted EPS

The following table reconciles Adjusted diluted earnings per share to Diluted earnings per share for the periods as indicated below. Due to our conversion to a 52-53 week fiscal year in 2014, there were two more days in the first quarter in fiscal 2015, which had an impact of $0.04 to adjusted diluted EPS.

  • The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to additional revenues from new restaurant openings, an increase in U.S. comparable restaurant sales and the gain of two operating days due to the 2014 change to a 52-53 week fiscal year. The increase in Total revenues was partially offset by the closing of 73 restaurants since December 31, 2013, the sale of 20 Roy's restaurants and the effect of foreign currency translation.
  • The increases in Adjusted and U.S. GAAP restaurant-level operating margin were primarily due to productivity savings and higher U.S. average unit volumes. These increases were partially offset by commodity and wage rate inflation as well as lunch expansion rollout costs.
  • The increase in Adjusted operating income margin was driven primarily by higher Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin as described above and lower compensation expenses due to our organizational realignment in the second half of fiscal 2014.
  • U.S. GAAP operating income margin is lower than Adjusted operating income margin primarily due to restaurant closing costs related to our International Restaurant Closure Initiative. This decrease was partially offset by the lapping of our Domestic Restaurant Closure Initiative.

(2) Comparable restaurant sales exclude the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency rates.

(3) Relocated international restaurants closed more than 30 days and relocated U.S. restaurants closed more than 60 days are excluded from comparable restaurant sales until at least 18 months after reopening.

  • The decrease in Total revenues is primarily due to the impact of the International Restaurant Closure Initiative and foreign currency translation.
  • The increase in Adjusted operating income margin was primarily due to higher restaurant-level operating margin, partially offset by general and administrative expenses due to investment spending.
  • U.S. GAAP operating income margin is lower than Adjusted operating income margin primarily due to restaurant closing costs related to our International Restaurant Closure Initiative.
  • Foreign currency translation negatively impacted income from operations by $2.0 million

Unallocated Corporate Operating Expense

Certain expenses are managed centrally and are not allocated to the U.S. or International segment. In total, Q1 2015 unallocated expenses were $38.6 million, which was $5.5 million higher than Q1 2014.  $4.9 million of this variance  is primarily due to an increase in insurance expenses, which are included in consolidated restaurant-level operating margin.

(1) Excludes 20 Roy's restaurants sold in January 2015.

 

(2) In Q1 2015, we adopted a policy that relocated international restaurants closed more than 30 days and relocated U.S. restaurants closed more than 60 days are considered a closure. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

Dividend Declaration and Share Repurchases

On April 29, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to be paid on May 27, 2015 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2015.

In December 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The authorization will expire on June 12, 2016. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, $70.0 million of outstanding stock was repurchased under the program. As of March 29, 2015, $30.0 million remains authorized under the share repurchase program.

Other Events

Q1 2015 adjusted results reflect the following items:

  • In our November 4, 2014 earnings release, we announced our intention to close 36 underperforming international locations as part of the International Restaurant Closure Initiative. In Q1 2015, we incurred $7.5 million of restaurant closing costs associated with this initiative.
  • In January 2015, we sold our Roy's business and recognized a loss on sale of $1.1 million.

Fiscal 2015 Financial Outlook

We are reaffirming our full-year guidance for blended domestic comparable restaurant sales growth of at least 1.5% and Adjusted diluted earnings per share to be at least $1.27 as previously communicated in our February 19, 2015 earnings release.

Total Revenues are now expected to be at least $4.43 billion. The reduction from $4.49 billion is due to expected additional impact from foreign currency translation. All other elements of the fiscal 2015 guidance included in the February 19, 2015 release remain intact.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margins, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margins, (iii) Adjusted net income, (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings per share, (v) Adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margins and (vi) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margins.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures enhance investors' understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace accompanying U.S. GAAP financial measures. These metrics are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The use of other non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that 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. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and establish employee incentive plans.

For reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this release, refer to tables four, five, six, seven, ten and eleven included later in this release.

_________________


(1) Excludes restricted cash.

(2) The Company has, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). The Company operates successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on Restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on its current liabilities and its inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.
