of 4.0% and 4.2%
Conference call and webcast will be held at 5:00 p.m. ET today
LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (“Del Taco” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ:TACO),
the second largest Mexican-American QSR chain by units in the United
States, operating restaurants under the name Del Taco, today announced
fiscal first quarter 2017 financial results. The Company also reaffirmed
guidance for fiscal year 2017.
Fiscal First Quarter 2017 Highlights
-
System-wide comparable restaurant sales growth of 4.2% and
company-operated comparable restaurant sales growth of 4.0%, marking
the 14th and 19th consecutive quarter of gains,
respectively;
-
Company-operated comparable restaurant sales growth was comprised
of average check growth of 3.7%, including over 1% of menu mix
growth, and a transaction increase of 0.3%;
-
Total revenue of $105.3 million, representing 8.2% growth from the
fiscal first quarter 2016;
-
Company-operated restaurant sales of $101.2 million, representing 8.2%
growth from the fiscal first quarter 2016;
-
Net income increased to $4.2 million, representing diluted earnings
per share of $0.10, compared to $3.1 million in the fiscal first
quarter 2016, representing diluted earnings per share of $0.08;
-
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased to $14.6
million from $13.1 million in the fiscal first quarter 2016,
representing 11.4% growth including an approximate $0.5 million
benefit in the fiscal first quarter 2017 from the timing of
advertising expense which will reverse throughout the year;
-
The opening of three franchise restaurants and the strategic
refranchising of five company-operated restaurants; and
-
The repurchase of approximately 641 thousand shares at an average
price per share of $12.48, for $8.0 million.
Paul J.B. Murphy, III, Chief Executive Officer of Del Taco, commented,
“We delivered a successful quarter characterized by comparable
restaurant sales and profitability growth, despite traffic challenges
across our industry and other external headwinds. With our expectation
for continued sales momentum in the second quarter and our underlying
operational and product initiatives in place for the balance of the
year, we are increasingly confident that we can achieve our 2017 annual
guidance and reach our stated goal of $1.5 million in average unit
volume by 2018.”
Murphy continued, “Fresh Combined Solutions has strengthened our QSR+
value oriented positioning, enabling us to take share from QSR and grow
relevance among fast casual occasions. The efficacy of this strategy
also supports our acceleration to mid-single-digit restaurant growth in
2017 and our ability to accelerate that growth in 2018 and beyond. Our
new unit development is predicated on quality of growth and will be well
balanced across geographies and between company and franchise partners.”
Review of Fiscal First Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Total revenue was $105.3 million, an increase of 8.2% compared to $97.4
million in the fiscal first quarter 2016. The growth in revenue was
driven by an 8.2% increase in Company restaurant sales and an 8.5%
increase in franchise revenue.
Comparable restaurant sales increased 4.2% system-wide for the fiscal
first quarter 2017, resulting in a 7.4% increase on a two-year basis.
The Del Taco system has now generated comparable restaurant sales growth
for 14th consecutive quarters. Company-operated comparable
restaurant sales increased 4.0%, marking the 19th consecutive
quarter of comparable restaurant sales growth. Franchise comparable
restaurant sales increased 4.4%.
Net income was $4.2 million, representing $0.10 per diluted share,
compared to $3.1 million in the fiscal first quarter 2016, representing
$0.08 per diluted share.
Restaurant contribution, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased 10.6%
year-over-year to $19.4 million. As a percentage of Company restaurant
sales, restaurant contribution increased approximately 40 basis points
year-over-year to 19.1%. The improvement was driven by the timing of
advertising expense which drove a 50 basis point reduction in occupancy
and other operating expenses during the quarter. Excluding this timing
benefit, which will reverse throughout the year, restaurant contribution
margin would have decreased by approximately 10 basis points, driven by
a 100 basis point increase in labor and related expenses partially
offset by improvements in other operating expenses and food and paper
costs. A reconciliation between restaurant contribution and the
nearest GAAP financial measure is included in the accompanying financial
data.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, increased to $14.6
million compared to $13.1 million in the previous year’s fiscal first
quarter, representing 11.4% growth which includes an approximate $0.5
million benefit from the timing of advertising expense which will
reverse throughout the year. A reconciliation between adjusted EBITDA
and the nearest GAAP financial measure is included in the accompanying
financial data.
Restaurant Portfolio
Our franchise partners opened three restaurants during the fiscal first
quarter 2017. As previously announced, we sold two company-operated
restaurants in the San Diego, CA area to a new franchisee that had
previously signed a development commitment in that market. Additionally,
we sold three company-operated restaurants in Atlanta, GA to another new
franchisee who had previously signed a development agreement in the
Atlanta area. Lastly, we announced the signing of new franchise
development agreements for West Palm Beach, FL and Tennessee. These
transactions reflect strategic opportunities to help accelerate system
development.
Repurchase Program for Common Stock and Warrants
During the fiscal first quarter 2017, we repurchased 641,165 shares at
an average price per share of $12.48. Subsequent to the end of the
quarter, we purchased 400,000 warrants from PW Acquisitions, LP, a
related party, for $3.75 per warrant.
We currently have $25.3 million remaining under our $50 million
repurchase authorization.
Fiscal Year 2017 Guidance
We are reaffirming the following guidance for fiscal year 2017, which is
a 52-week period ending January 2, 2018:
-
System-wide same store sales growth of approximately 2.0% to 4.0%;
-
Total revenue between $466 million and $476 million;
-
Total company-operated restaurant sales between $448 million and $458
million;
-
Restaurant contribution margin between 19.8% and 20.3%;
-
General and administrative expenses of between approximately 8.1% and
8.5% of total revenue, including incremental public company costs to
support compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404(b) requirement
during fiscal 2018;
-
Effective tax rate of approximately 40.0%;
-
Diluted earnings per share of approximately $0.52 to $0.55;
-
Adjusted EBITDA between $71.0 million and $73.5 million;
-
23 to 26 new system-wide restaurant openings; and
-
Net capital expenditures totaling approximately $43.0 million to $46.0
million including approximately $16.0 to $17.0 million for new unit
construction, approximately $12.5 to $13.5 million for capitalized
maintenance, approximately $7.5 to $8.5 million for discretionary
investment in equipment, technology and remodels, and up to
approximately $7.0 million for land acquisition for development after
2017.
We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding
GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the
various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these
reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable
significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be
reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary
significantly from period to period. Accordingly, a reconciliation to
the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without
unreasonable effort.

webcast will be Paul J.B. Murphy, III, Chief Executive Officer; John D.

Key Financial Definitions
Comparable restaurant sales growth reflects the change in
year-over-year sales for the comparable company, franchise and total
system restaurant base. Restaurants are included in the comparable store
base in the accounting period following its 18th full month
of operations and excludes restaurant closures.
Restaurant contribution is defined as company restaurant sales
less restaurant operating expenses, which are food and paper costs,
labor and related expenses and occupancy and other operating expenses. Restaurant
contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a
percentage of company restaurant sales. Restaurant contribution and
restaurant contribution margin are neither required by, nor
presented in accordance with, GAAP. Restaurant contribution and
restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating
performance of restaurants and the calculations thereof may not be
comparable to those reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution
and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools,
and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for
analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes
that restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are
important tools for investors because they are widely-used metrics
within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level
productivity, efficiency and performance. Management uses restaurant
contribution and restaurant contribution margin as key performance
indicators to evaluate the profitability of incremental sales at Del
Taco restaurants, to evaluate restaurant performance across periods and
to evaluate restaurant financial performance compared with competitors. A
reconciliation between restaurant contribution and the nearest GAAP
financial measure is included in the accompanying financial data.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income/loss prior to interest
expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to
add back certain charges, such as stock-based compensation expense and
transaction-related costs, as these expenses are not considered an
indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a
non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an
alternative to operating income or net income/loss as a measure of
operating performance or cash flows or as measures of liquidity.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way
by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or
superior to GAAP results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates
operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the
effects of some items that vary from period to period without any
correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among
similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by
variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax
positions (such as the impact on periods or changes in effective tax
rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of
facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We
also present Adjusted EBITDA because (i) we believe this measure is
frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested
parties to evaluate companies in our industry, (ii) we believe investors
will find this measure useful in assessing our ability to service or
incur indebtedness, and (iii) we use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a
benchmark to compare performance to that of competitors. A
reconciliation between Adjusted EBITDA and the nearest GAAP financial
measure is included in the accompanying financial data.
