Fiscal 2021 Highlights - Second Quarter

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Operating Performance

Segment Performance

The rise in COVID-19 cases during the second quarter resulted in some dining room closures and capacity restrictions which have negatively impacted our results. Capacity restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic vary by location due to state and local mandates. These capacity restrictions and personal safety preferences have resulted in lower dining room guest traffic and many guests have shifted to our off-premise dining options. This shift has changed our staffing requirements, expenses associated with off-premise and other operational expenses which are noted below.

	Chili's												Maggiano's
	Second Quarter								Variance				Second Quarter								Variance

(2)	Chili's and Maggiano's Second Quarter 2021 include the results of It's Just Wings

Chili's

• Chili's Company sales decreased primarily due to lower dining room sales, partially offset by increased off-premise sales including It's Just Wings
  
  
• Chili's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to higher expenses related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales, sales deleverage, and unfavorable commodity pricing. These increases were partially offset by lower advertising expenses, lower manager and hourly labor expenses, lower repairs and maintenance expenses, lower supervision expenses, lower credit card fees, favorable menu item mix, and favorable menu pricing

Maggiano's

• Maggiano's Company sales decreased primarily due to lower dining room sales, partially offset by increased off-premise sales
  
  
• Maggiano's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to sales deleverage, higher expenses related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales, unfavorable menu item mix, unfavorable commodity pricing and higher insurance expenses. These increases were partially offset by lower manager and hourly labor expenses, lower repairs and maintenance expenses, lower banquet expenses, lower advertising expenses, lower credit card fees, lower utilities expenses and favorable menu pricing

Franchise and other revenues

• Franchise and other revenues include royalties and advertising fees that are earned based on franchise sales. Our franchisees generated sales of approximately $187.7 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $247.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. This decrease is primarily due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our domestic and global franchise restaurants
  
  
• Maggiano's Franchise and other revenues decreased primarily due to lower banquet volume driven by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Income Taxes

• On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 46.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to an expense of 3.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily driven by lower income before income taxes and leverage on the FICA tip tax credit. Excluding the impact of special items (see non-GAAP reconciliation below for details), the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 17.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to an expense of 10.5% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020

(1)	Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months except acquired restaurants which are included after 12 months of ownership. 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.
(2)	Comparable Restaurant Sales for Q2:21 vs 20 include the results of It's Just Wings, a virtual brand launched nationally in June 2020.
(3)	Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests.
(4)	Chili's franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in 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 Chili's franchise comparable restaurant sales provides investors information regarding brand performance that is relevant to current operations.
(5)	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.
(6)	System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales are derived from sales generated by Company-owned Chili's and Maggiano's restaurants in addition to the sales generated at franchise-operated Chili's 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.

	Second Quarter
	Q2 21				EPS Q2 21				Q2 20				EPS Q2 20
Net income - GAAP	$	12.0			$	0.26			$	27.9			$	0.73
Special items(1)	5.5				0.12				13.8				0.36
Income tax effect related to special items(2)	(1.4)				(0.03)				(3.3)				(0.08)
Special items, net of taxes	4.1				0.09				10.5				0.28
Adjustment for special tax items(3)	0.0				0.00				0.0				0.00
Net income, excluding special items - Non-GAAP	$	16.1			$	0.35			$	38.4			$	1.01

(1)	Special items in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 consist of a charge of $5.4 million in Other (gains) and charges that included charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and $0.1 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets. Special items in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 consist of $12.3 million in Other (gains) and charges and $1.5 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets.
(2)	Income tax effect related to special items is based on the statutory tax rate in effect at the end of each period presented.
(3)	Adjustment for special tax items in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and the second quarter of fiscal 2020 was negligible.

 

Reconciliation of Restaurant Operating Margin (in millions, except percentages)
	Second Quarter
	Q2 21				Q2 20
Operating income - GAAP	$	22.1			$	43.5
Operating income as a percentage of Total revenues	2.9		%		5.0		%
Operating income - GAAP	$	22.1			$	43.5
Less:  Franchise and other revenues	(14.5)				(21.8)
Plus:  Depreciation and amortization	37.2				39.3
General and administrative	30.0				34.6
Other (gains) and charges	5.4				12.3
Restaurant operating margin - non-GAAP	$	80.2			$	107.9
Restaurant operating margin as a percentage of Company sales	10.7		%		12.7		%

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 excludes Franchise and other revenues which are earned primarily from franchise royalties, advertising fees, and other non-food and beverage revenues streams such as delivery service income, gift card breakage, banquet service charges and digital entertainment revenues. Depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which are related to restaurant-level assets, are excluded because such expenses represent historical costs which do not reflect current cash outlays for the restaurants. General and administrative expenses include primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices and are therefore excluded. We believe that excluding special items, included within Other (gains) and charges, from Restaurant operating margin provides investors with a clearer perspective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow (in millions)

Brinker believes presenting free cash flow provides a useful measure to evaluate the cash flow available for reinvestment after considering the capital requirements and expenditures of our business operations.

	Twenty-Six Week Period Ended December 23, 2020
Cash flows provided by operating activities - GAAP	$	130.0
Capital expenditures	(37.1)
Free cash flow - non-GAAP	$	92.9
