• Texas Roadhouse, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2021 Results

    来源: Nasdaq GlobeNewswire / 29 4月 2021 16:03:00   America/New_York

    LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (NasdaqGS: TXRH), today announced financial results for the 13 week period ended March 30, 2021 and provided a business update.

    Statement from Jerry Morgan, CEO and President

    The last several weeks have been extremely difficult for the Texas Roadhouse family as we mourn the passing of our Founder, CEO, and friend, Kent Taylor. The vision and leadership that Kent provided since opening the first store in 1993 was without question the foundation for the thriving, multi-concept restaurant company that we are today. The entire leadership team is committed to preserving Kent’s legacy and the unique culture he established as we continue to grow Texas Roadhouse just as he did over the past 28 years.

    We also have reflected on the impact of the pandemic on our business. A year ago today, all of our dining rooms were still closed and while we knew brighter days were ahead, we never could have anticipated where we are today. Our operating results have exceeded even pre-pandemic levels thanks to our operators’ ability to navigate a number of factors, including the easing of dining room capacity restrictions, guest excitement to get back into our restaurants and the continued strength of our To-Go sales. Going forward, our primary focus will be ensuring that our guests continue to have a legendary experience each and every time they choose us. This will include continuing to manage capacity restrictions, recruiting and retaining front-line employees, and maintaining a safe environment for everyone.

    Financial Results

    Financial results for the 13 week periods ended March 30, 2021, March 31, 2020, and March 26, 2019 were as follows:

     First Quarter
    ($000's)      % change
      2021  2020  2019 vs. 2020 vs. 2019
    Total revenue$800,629 $652,524 $690,608 22.7% 15.9%
    Income from operations 80,927  15,790  60,445 412.5% 33.9%
    Net income 64,150  16,029  50,390 300.2% 27.3%
    Diluted earnings per share$0.91 $0.23 $0.70 298.5% 31.0%

    Results for the first quarter included the following:

    • Comparable restaurant sales at company restaurants increased 18.5% and 8.6% compared to 2020 and 2019, respectively1. Comparable restaurant sales at domestic franchise restaurants increased 15.2% and 5.1% compared to 2020 and 2019, respectively;
    • Three company restaurants were opened, including one Bubba’s 33 restaurant;
    • Restaurant margin, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, was 18.6% and restaurant margin dollars were $147.6 million. Restaurant margin was impacted by an increase in comparable restaurant sales partially offset by higher costs related to the pandemic;
    • Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.91 from $0.23 in the prior year due to the increase in comparable restaurant sales and the prior year impact of the pandemic, which began to significantly impact our operations in March 2020; and,
    • The Company ended the quarter with debt of $240.0 million and $495.6 million of cash on hand.

    1 Comparable restaurant sales reflect the change in year-over-year sales for restaurants open a full 18 months before the beginning of the period measured for comparison to 2020 and for restaurants open a full 30 months before the beginning of the period measured for comparison to 2019.

    Jerry Morgan commented, “We asked our operators to deliver results in a challenging environment and as expected they delivered industry leading results. These strong operating results, which have continued into our April period, have further strengthened our financial position. As a result, we continue to move forward with our development pipeline and are pleased to report the reinstatement of our quarterly dividend by our Board of Directors.”

    Business Update

    Comparable restaurant sales during the quarter were positively impacted by the re-opening of dining rooms, all of which had re-opened by the end of the quarter, the continued easing of dining room capacity restrictions, and strong To-Go sales. The Company continues to operate under various capacity restrictions in the dining rooms along with enhanced To-Go, which includes a curbside and/or drive-up operating model, as permitted by local guidelines. By period, the comparable restaurant sales, average weekly sales, and To-Go sales for all company restaurants were as follows:

      January February March Q1 2021
             
    Comparable restaurant sales vs 2020  (0.3%)   (3.5%)   64.1%   18.5% 
    Comparable restaurant sales vs 2019  7.5%   0.6%   15.5%   8.6% 
    Average weekly sales  $105,595   $106,292   $127,362   $114,201 
    To-Go sales as a % of average weekly sales  25.9%   22.8%   19.7%   22.3% 
    Total company restaurants - end of period  537   538   540   540 
    Limited capacity company restaurants - end of period  504   530   540   540 

    For the April period, the comparable restaurant sales, average weekly sales, and To-Go sales for all company restaurants were as follows:

     April
      
    Comparable restaurant sales vs 2020 126.7% 
    Comparable restaurant sales vs 2019 20.9% 
    Average weekly sales $124,217 
    To-Go sales as a % of average weekly sales 18.7% 
    Total company restaurants - end of period 545 
    Limited capacity company restaurants - end of period 545 

    For the quarter, the Company’s cash on hand position increased $132.5 million due to increased sales performance and working capital inflows, partially offset by cash used for capital expenditures. As of the end of the quarter, the Company had opened three company restaurants and an additional 15 were under construction. In addition and as further discussed below, the Company’s Board of Directors reinstated the quarterly dividend beginning with the Q2 2021 fiscal quarter.

    2021 Outlook

    Management updated the following expectation for 2021:

    • Commodity cost inflation of approximately 4.0%.

    Management reiterated the following expectations for 2021:

    • 25 to 30 company restaurant openings across all concepts;
    • Store week growth of 4.0% to 5.0%; and,
    • Total capital expenditures of $210 million to $220 million.

    To the extent that state and local guidelines begin to significantly reduce capacity and/or re-close dining rooms, the Company could pull back on development and reduce capital spend accordingly.

    Cash Dividend Payment

    On April 28, 2021, our Board of Directors reinstated the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share of common stock. This payment will be distributed on June 4, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 19, 2021. The Company most recently paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36 on March 27, 2020 which was subsequently suspended to preserve cashflow.

    Non-GAAP Measures

    The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Within the press release, the Company makes reference to restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of restaurant and other sales). Restaurant margin represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall company performance and profitability in that this measure does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders due to the nature of the costs excluded. Restaurant margin is widely regarded as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. In calculating restaurant margin, the Company excludes certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, including pre-opening and general and administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. The Company also excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which relates to restaurant-level assets, as it represents a non-cash charge for the investment in restaurants. The Company also excludes impairment and closure expense as it believes this provides a clearer perspective of ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the industry. A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the accompanying financial tables.
