TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the second quarter 2022 (“Q2 2022”) compared to the second quarter 2021 (“Q2 2021”).

CEO Comments

“We delivered another solid quarter of results that highlights the strength of our portfolio,” said David Deno, CEO. “Importantly, we achieved this performance despite increased inflationary headwinds and a softening macro environment in June. The ability to leverage our leading off-premises business, capitalize on growing digital capabilities, and improve operational efficiencies has enabled us to deliver on our commitments. We remain focused on executing against our strategy to elevate the guest experience while driving sustainable sales and profits to thrive in this challenging environment.”

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1)	$	0.68			$	0.81		$	(0.13	)
___________________ (1) Adjustments for Q2 2022 primarily relate to the repurchase of $125 million of our outstanding convertible notes (the “2025 Notes”), as well as the settlements of the related convertible senior note hedges and warrants (the “2025 Notes Partial Repurchase”). See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Total revenues	$	1,125.2			$	1,077.4			4.4	%
Restaurant-level operating margin		15.5	%			20.3	%		(4.8	) %
GAAP Operating income margin		7.8	%			11.6	%		(3.8	) %
Adjusted operating income margin (1)		7.8	%			11.0	%		(3.2	) %
___________________ (1) See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release.

• The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales primarily in Brazil, (ii) the net impact of restaurant openings and closures and (iii) the effect of foreign currency translation of the Brazilian Real relative to the U.S. dollar.

• Restaurant-level operating margin decreased primarily due to: (i) commodity inflation, (ii) higher operating expenses including utilities, (iii) increased labor costs primarily due to wage rate inflation and (iv) higher advertising expense. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) increases in average check per person, (ii) the net benefit of lapping the impact of COVID-19 in Brazil and (iii) the impact of certain cost saving initiatives.

• Operating income margin decreased due to a decrease in restaurant-level operating margin as described above and benefits from value-added tax court rulings in Brazil during 2021, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.

Fiscal 2022 Financial Outlook

The table below presents our updated expectations for selected 2022 financial operating results. We have increased our full year outlook for total revenues and expect the profit benefits from the increased revenues to be offset by higher than expected inflation. We are reaffirming all other aspects of our full-year financial guidance as previously communicated in our April 29, 2022 earnings release, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Financial Results:		Prior Outlook		Current Outlook
Total revenues		$4.35B to $4.40B		$4.40B to $4.45B
GAAP diluted earnings per share (1)		$2.23 to $2.32		$1.11 to $1.22
GAAP effective income tax rate (2)		16.5% to 17.5%		28% to 29%
Other Selected Financial Data:
Commodity inflation		11% to 13%		13% to 14%
Capital expenditures		$225M to $240M		$200M to $210M
Weighted average adjusted diluted shares (3)		Approx. 95 million		Approx. 93 million
_________________ (1) For GAAP purposes assumes weighted average diluted shares of approximately 99 million. The total change in GAAP earnings per share is due to the impact of losses related to the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase. (2) Increase in the GAAP effective income tax rate primarily related to the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase in Q2 2022. (3) Reflects the impact of the partial repurchase of the 2025 Notes.

Q3 2022 Financial Outlook

The table below presents our expectations for selected fiscal Q3 2022 financial operating results:

Financial Results:		Q3 2022 Outlook
Total revenues		$1.05B to $1.07B
GAAP diluted earnings per share (1)		$0.30 to $0.35
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (2)		$0.31 to $0.36
_________________ (1) For GAAP purposes assumes weighted average diluted shares of approximately 96 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, July 29, 2022 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 the following: (i) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (ii) Adjusted net income, (iii) Adjusted diluted earnings per share and (iv) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin.

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, six and seven included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

_________________ (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.

_________________ The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:
(1) Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income. (2) 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. (3) General and administrative expense which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices. (4) Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant performance in a period.

_________________ (1) The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021 include the recognition of recoverable PIS and COFINS taxes, including accrued interest, within other revenues as a result of favorable court rulings in Brazil during the second quarter of 2021. (2) Adjustment for interest expense related to the 2025 Notes weighted for the portion of the period prior to our election under the 2025 Notes indenture to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash. (3) The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 include losses in connection with the $125.0 million 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase, the modification of our revolving credit facility and the extinguishment of our term loan A. (4) Fair value adjustments to the conversion feature of the 2025 Notes repurchased, as well as the settlements of the related convertible senior note hedges and warrants in connection with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase. (5) Income tax effect of the adjustments for the periods presented. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022, the primary difference between the GAAP and adjusted effective income tax rates relate to certain non-deductible losses and other tax costs associated with the 2025 Notes Partial Repurchase. (6) Due to the GAAP net loss, the effect of dilutive securities was excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted loss per share for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022. (7) Adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 7,774 and 11,231 shares for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively, and 8,253 and 10,442 shares for the twenty-six weeks ended June 26, 2022 and June 27, 2021, respectively, to be issued upon conversion of the 2025 Notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible note hedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes. For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was also calculated assuming our February 2021 election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash was in effect for the entire period. For adjusted diluted earnings per share, the calculation includes 3,965 dilutive shares for the thirteen weeks ended June 26, 2022, primarily related to outstanding warrants.

Following is a summary of the financial statement line item classification of the net (loss) income adjustments:
