Diversified Restaurant Holdings Reports Strong Operating Income Growth in Second Quarter 2016
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Aug. 04, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:SAUC) ("DRH" or the "Company"), the largest franchisee for Buffalo Wild Wings® ("BWW") and creator and operator of Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern® ("Bagger Dave's"), today announced results for its second quarter ended June 26, 2016. The Company also announced today in a separate release that it intends to split into two separate, publicly traded companies through the tax-free spinoff of its Bagger Dave’s business to DRH stockholders.
Second Quarter 2016 Performance (compared with prior year period, unless otherwise stated)
-
Achieved 25.8% revenue growth to $46.4 million
-
BWW comparable-store sales decline 2.7% against strong 4.1% increase in prior-year period; Bagger Dave’s average weekly sales up 5.1% to $22,600
-
Generated operating income of $961,536, a $6.5 million improvement
-
Improved net loss by $3.1 million to loss of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share
-
Adjusted EBITDA was up 1.9% to $5.7 million (1); Adjusted EBTIDA(1) margin expanded 4.3 points to 12.2%
-
Made additional discretionary principal payments in quarter; total debt down to $122.3 million
-
Strategic priorities remain: Debt reduction, driving unit sales and increasing restaurant-level cash flow
Michael Ansley, President and CEO, commented, “We continue to make excellent progress in improving our financial performance. We increased second quarter sales by nearly 26%, generated significantly higher operating income and continued to reduce debt. The strong operating leverage from our expanded BWW franchise, rationalization of underperforming restaurants, reduced pace of unit development and cost reduction initiatives are demonstrating measurable results. Notably, we achieved these improvements even as our BWW comparable-store sales were off in the quarter consistent with challenges facing the entire casual dining sector.
“The Board’s decision to spin off Bagger Dave’s to the over the counter market will enable us to devote DRH’s energies and resources on our much larger BWW business, which should drive increased earnings power, cash generation and franchise expansion opportunities. Bagger Dave’s, in the meantime, will independently be able to mature its concept, build its brand and grow more profitably.
“We have great confidence as well in the on-going potential of our BWW franchise and the Buffalo Wild Wings brand. With the largest franchise in the United States, we see the benefit of our scale, the markets we serve, our successful track record as an operator and the competitive advantages of BWW being the first in its category and a leader in its segment. BWW is also making multiple enhancements in its value proposition, such as special value-based promotions and delivery service to drive sales growth. We expect to take full advantage of the brand’s long runway for growth.”

Revenue grew with the addition of 15 net new restaurants and increased menu pricing. The Company had 83 total restaurants at the end of the quarter.
Comparable-store sales for BWW were down 2.7% largely due to macro factors affecting the casual dining sector nationwide including over saturation, growing consumer preferences for value priced options and challenging comparators. This trend was magnified by warmer than normal weather diverting customers to more outdoor activities and fewer sporting events of interest to customers in the Company’s markets. There were 59 comparable BWW restaurants for the period and a total of 64 BWW at the end of the quarter, up 22 from the prior-year period.
Average weekly sales volume (“AWV”) for the 19 Bagger Dave’s restaurants was $22,600, up 5.1%, or $1,100, validating the success of concept adaptations and the benefit from one new opening during the quarter.
The acquisition of 18 St. Louis BWW locations in July 2015 drove many operating expense lines higher. Other major components of the change in operating expenses include:
- Food, beverage and packaging cost as a percentage of revenue declined 50 basis points to 28.1% primarily due to some overall commodity price relief and menu price increases
- Compensation costs as a percentage of revenue were up 20 basis points to 26.7% due to investments in personnel in the acquired restaurants and labor inflation
- General and administrative (G&A) expense was down 930 basis points to 6.1% as a percent of revenue. Closure of under-performing locations, cost reduction initiatives and favorable variances relative to $2.0 million of atypical expenses in 2015 drove G&A expenses down $2.9 million.
Operating income increased measurably over the prior-year quarter due to significant cost savings from the closure of underperforming locations and operating leverage from higher sales.
Interest expense was up $0.9 million to $1.4 million, reflecting increased debt from the St. Louis BWW acquisition and higher interest rates.

Capital expenditures were $11.7 million during the first six months of 2016 and were for new restaurant development, restaurant refreshes and revamping four BWW restaurants to the Stadia design. There are now 28 Stadia concepts of the 64 restaurants and all will be converted by 2020.
Total debt decreased $4.0 million to $122.3 million at the end of the second quarter from December 27, 2015. The Company has been making additional discretionary principal payments with available cash.
Fiscal 2016 Guidance
In the 2016 second quarter, the Company opened three restaurants including two BWW restaurants in Bradenton, Florida and Coral Gables, Florida, and a Bagger Dave’s in West Chester, Ohio. The Company has slowed its new restaurant development and does not plan to open any additional restaurants in 2016. The Company expects the following for 2016:
- Revenue of $185 million to $190 million compared with the previous expectation of $194 million to $200 million
- BWW sales are expected to be $164 million to $168 million
- Bagger Dave’s sales are expected to be $21 million to $22 million
- Total G&A expense, excluding one-time spin off costs, is unchanged at approximately 6% of sales; the spinoff is expected to result in $1.5 million to $2.0 million in G&A savings for DRH
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be approximately $21 million to $23 million based on the new sales forecast compared with previous expectations of $24 million to $26 million, excluding the impact of the spin off
- Consolidated restaurant-level EBITDA is expected to be $33 million to $35 million, revised down from prior guidance of $36 million to $38 million; Post spinoff BWW restaurant-level EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $33 million to $35 million

(1)Restaurant-Level EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to DRH plus the sum of non-restaurant specific general and administrative expenses, restaurant pre-opening costs, loss on property and equipment disposals, the change in fair value of derivative instruments, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, interest, taxes, income attributable to noncontrolling interest and non-recurring expenses related to acquisitions, equity offerings or other one-off transactions. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) attributable to DRH plus the sum of restaurant pre-opening costs, loss on property and equipment disposals, the change in fair value of derivative instruments, depreciation and amortization, other income and expenses, interest, taxes, income attributable to noncontrolling interest, and non-recurring expenses. We are presenting Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP, because we believe they provide an additional metric by which to evaluate our operations. When considered together with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to our net income, we believe they provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We use Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, income from operations, net income, and cash flows from operations, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance the understanding of our core operating performance. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because: (i) we believe they are useful measures for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses; (ii) we believe investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness; and (iii) they are used internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors.
Additionally, we present Restaurant-Level EBITDA because it excludes the impact of general and administrative expenses and restaurant pre-opening costs, both which are non-recurring at the restaurant level. The use of Restaurant-Level EBITDA thereby enables us and our investors to compare our operating performance between periods and to compare our operating performance to the performance of our competitors. The measure is also widely used within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant level productivity, efficiency, and performance. The use of Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on GAAP results, while 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. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structure and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management team believes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of the foregoing variations.
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Neither Restaurant-Level EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and our presentation of Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our management recognizes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical financial measures, including the following:
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our current capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures;
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, associated with our indebtedness;
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash charges, although the assets being depreciated and amortized will likely have to be replaced in the future, nor do Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect disposals or other non-recurring income and expenses;
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in fair value of derivative instruments;
-
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect restaurant pre-opening costs; and
- Restaurant-Level EBITDA does not reflect general and administrative expenses.
