The ONE Group Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results
The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. reported a 3.0% revenue growth in Q1 2024, completed the acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp., owner of Benihana Inc., and updated 2024 targets post-acquisition. Despite a 7.9% decrease in comparable sales, total GAAP revenues reached $85.0 million, with a net loss of $2.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3.6% to $10.5 million. The company plans to open new venues, initiated a $5 million share repurchase program, and aims for $950 million in annual run-rate revenues by 2024-end.
The acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp., the parent company of Benihana Inc., diversifies The ONE Group's portfolio and is expected to add over $500 million in annualized revenues and $70 million in EBITDA before synergies.
The opening of new restaurants and venues, including STK Washington DC, reflects the company's strategic expansion plans and growth initiatives.
The share repurchase program of $5 million demonstrates the company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value and confidence in its financial position.
Despite revenue growth, the company experienced a 7.9% decrease in comparable sales, leading to a net loss of $2.1 million and a 3.6% decline in Adjusted EBITDA.
General and administrative costs remained flat at $7.5 million, with a slight decrease in costs as a percentage of revenues but pre-opening expenses increased significantly to $2.9 million.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Income (Loss).
Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation and certain transactional and exit costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

Restaurant Operating Profit. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses.
We believe Restaurant Operating Profit is an important component of financial results because: (i) it is a widely used metric within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit as a key metric to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before transaction and exit costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments.
We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management, and we believe that it provides useful information facilitating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
