Insights
The reported fiscal results for Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. show a substantial improvement in the company's financial health. The significant reduction in net loss from $78.9 million in the previous year to $21.2 million, coupled with the 33% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, signals a strong recovery trajectory. These improvements are critical indicators of the company's operational efficiency and financial stability. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA, in particular, suggests better cost management and potentially improved cash flows, which are essential for meeting financial obligations and funding future growth initiatives.
The completed Sale-Leaseback transactions are a strategic financial maneuver, providing immediate liquidity and contributing to the reduction of long-term debt. However, this also implies a shift from owning to leasing assets, which may increase future rent expenses and affect long-term profitability. Investors should consider the balance between the short-term liquidity benefits and the long-term impact on financial flexibility.
Another point of interest is the stock repurchase, which indicates management's confidence in the company's valuation and prospects. It's a move that can be perceived positively by the market, as it often signals a belief that the stock is undervalued. However, it's important to assess whether these repurchases are the best use of capital, especially when weighed against other potential investments that could drive growth.
The reported 1.6% increase in comparable restaurant revenue reflects modest customer retention and acquisition, which is crucial in the highly competitive casual dining industry. It is important to note that the restaurant industry is sensitive to economic cycles and consumer spending patterns can quickly shift due to macroeconomic factors. Therefore, while the increase is a positive sign, the company's projection of a low single-digit percentage decline in comparable restaurant revenue for the next fiscal year warrants attention. This projection may be indicative of anticipated market challenges or an internal strategy shift.
Red Robin's focus on enhancing the customer experience and its planned launch of a new loyalty program are strategic initiatives aimed at boosting customer engagement and brand loyalty. However, the success of these initiatives in driving sustained revenue growth will depend on effective execution and the company's ability to differentiate itself in a crowded market.
The guidance for fiscal 2024 suggests a cautious approach, with a projected decline in total revenue and a narrowed range for Restaurant Level Operating Profit. It is important for stakeholders to monitor how these projections align with industry trends and consumer behavior, especially as the company navigates post-pandemic recovery and changing dining habits.
The fiscal results of Red Robin reflect broader economic conditions, including inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges that have impacted the restaurant industry. The company's ability to improve its net loss and Adjusted EBITDA in such an environment is commendable and indicates a degree of resilience. However, the anticipated decline in comparable restaurant revenue for the next fiscal year could be reflective of economic headwinds, such as reduced consumer spending power or increased competition.
The sale-leaseback transactions also have economic implications. While they provide immediate capital, they transform fixed costs into variable ones, which could increase vulnerability to economic fluctuations. This strategy might be beneficial in the current low-interest-rate environment but could pose risks if rates rise.
Investors should consider macroeconomic trends, such as employment rates and disposable income levels, as these will influence dining out frequencies and average ticket sizes. The company's performance must be contextualized within these broader economic indicators to assess its potential resilience against economic downturns or its capacity to capitalize on economic upswings.

The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Restaurant Level Operating Profit or Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Income (loss) from operations and Net income (loss), respectively. Providing Income (loss) from operations and Net Income (loss) guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Income from operations and Net income (loss), including asset impairments, gains (losses) on asset dispositions and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of Restaurant Level Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA to Income (loss) from operations and Net income (loss), respectively, for the historical periods presented herein is indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please refer to the historical period Reconciliation of Income (loss) from operations to Restaurant Level Operating Profit and Net income (loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included on Schedule II and Schedule III of this release, respectively. |

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") throughout this press release, the Company has provided Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share - diluted, which are non-GAAP measurements. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share-diluted are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures give the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company, and are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share-diluted exclude the impact of non-operating or nonrecurring items including changes in estimate, asset impairments, litigation contingencies, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, restaurant and office closure costs, gains on sale leaseback transactions, severance and executive transition costs and other non-recurring, non-cash or discrete items; net of income tax impacts. Other companies may define these non-GAAP measures differently, and as a result may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Management believes this supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein.
The Company believes restaurant level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant level operating profit to be income from operations less franchise royalties, fees and other revenue, plus other charges (gains), net, pre-opening costs, selling costs, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization. The measure includes restaurant level occupancy costs that include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, pre-opening costs, as well as, other charges (gains), net because these costs are non-operating or nonrecurring and therefore not related to the ongoing operations of its restaurants. Restaurant level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income (loss) from operations as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the Company's industry.
