BRINKER INTERNATIONAL REPORTS FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL 2020 RESULTS
DALLAS (October 30, 2019) – Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 ended September 25, 2019.
Highlights include the following:
•
The Company acquired 116 Chili’s restaurants located in the Midwest United States from a franchisee on September 5, 2019. Three weeks of the acquired restaurants results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition in the first quarter of fiscal 2020
•
Earnings per diluted share, on a GAAP basis, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 39.1% to $0.39 compared to $0.64 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the fiscal 2019 net gain recognized on sale leaseback transactions
•
Earnings per diluted share, excluding special items, in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 12.8% to $0.41 compared to $0.47 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the acceleration of certain stock-based compensation expenses for newly retirement eligible executives (see non-GAAP reconciliation below)
•
Brinker International’s Company sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 4.9% to $763.9 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Total revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 4.3% to $786.0 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019

•
Operating income, as a percentage of Total revenues, was 4.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 6.2% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 representing a decrease of approximately 220 basis points primarily due to the fiscal 2019 net gain recognized on sale leaseback transactions and acceleration of certain stock-based compensation expenses for newly retirement eligible executives
•
Restaurant operating margin, as a percentage of Company sales, was 11.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 11.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (see non-GAAP reconciliation below)
•
Cash flows provided by operating activities in the thirteen week period ended September 25, 2019 was $86.6 million and capital expenditures totaled $20.5 million resulting in free cash flow of $66.1 million (see non-GAAP reconciliation below)
•
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.38 per share on the common stock of the Company. The dividend will be payable December 26, 2019 to shareholders of record as of December 6, 2019
“The first quarter of fiscal 2020 represents our 6th consecutive quarter of positive comparable restaurant sales and our 7th consecutive quarter to outperform the category in traffic,” said Wyman Roberts, CEO and President. “We are now lapping our year-over-year positive results and expect these trends to continue.”

CHILI’S RESTAURANT ACQUISITION
On September 5, 2019, we acquired 116 Chili’s restaurants owned by a franchisee located in the Midwest United States. The results of operations of these restaurants are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. We are reporting a preliminary purchase price allocation in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. We are evaluating the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired restaurants through internal studies and third-party valuations.
QUARTERLY OPERATING PERFORMANCE
Company Sales and Company Restaurant Expenses
Chili’s Company sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased 5.8% to $677.5 million from $640.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to an increase in comparable restaurant sales led by off-premise sales, and three weeks of revenues generated from the acquisition of the 116 Chili’s restaurants. As compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Chili’s restaurant operating margin(1) decreased. Cost of sales, as a percentage of Company sales, increased compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to unfavorable commodity pricing related to produce and menu item mix, partially offset by increased menu pricing. Restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to sales leverage and lower marketing expenses, partially offset by higher rent expenses related to the fiscal 2019 sale leaseback transactions, and higher off-premise supplies and delivery fees. Restaurant labor, as a percentage of Company sales, was flat compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 due to the favorable impact of sales leverage, lower management salaries related to the Certified Shift Leader program, and lower employee health insurance expenses, fully offset by higher hourly labor wage rates and higher manager bonus from increased operating performance.
Maggiano’s Company sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 1.8% to $86.4 million from $88.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to a decrease in comparable restaurant sales. As compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019, Maggiano’s restaurant operating margin(1) decreased. Cost of sales, as a percentage of Company sales, increased compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to unfavorable menu item mix and commodity pricing, partially offset by increased menu pricing. Restaurant labor, as a percentage of Company sales, increased due to higher hourly labor wage rates, partially offset by lower management salaries and lower employee health insurance expenses. Restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 due to lower supplies and lower repairs and maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher rent expenses due to the sale leaseback of one restaurant in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.
(1) 
Restaurant operating margin is defined as Company sales less Cost of sales, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses and excludes Depreciation and amortization expenses (see non-GAAP reconciliation below).
Franchise and Other Revenues
Franchise and other revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 13.3% to $22.1 million from $25.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to a decrease in royalties and franchise marketing contributions related to the 116 Chili’s restaurants acquired from a franchisee during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Additionally, the first quarter of fiscal 2020 franchise marketing contribution rate was lower than prior year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, Brinker franchisees generated approximately $298.3 million in sales(2).
(2) 
Royalty revenues are recognized based on the sales generated and reported to the Company by franchisees.
Other
Depreciation and amortization expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased $1.1 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the Chili’s remodel initiative, higher depreciation related to the prospective change in useful lives of certain fixed assets, and additional depreciation and amortization expenses related to the acquisition of 116 Chili’s restaurants. These increases were partially offset by lower expense related to fully depreciated assets and retirements and reduced expenses related to the fiscal 2019 sale leaseback transactions.

2

General and administrative expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 increased $4.2 million compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily due to the acceleration of certain stock-based compensation expenses for newly retirement eligible executives on fiscal 2020 annual stock grants.
Income Taxes
On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased to 11.3% compared to 17.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by the impact of the fiscal 2019 sale leaseback transactions gain. Excluding the impact of special items (see non-GAAP reconciliation below for details), the effective income rate decreased to 10.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 11.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily driven by an increase in the FICA tax credit in fiscal 2020.
Guidance Policy
We are unable to reliably forecast special items such as restaurant impairments, restaurant closures, reorganization charges and legal settlements without unreasonable effort. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures. If special items are reported during fiscal 2020, reconciliations to the appropriate GAAP measures will be provided.

Comparable restaurant sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months. Amounts are calculated based on comparable current period versus same period a year ago.  
(2) 
Mix-shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests.  
(3) 
Chili’s company-owned comparable restaurant sales for the Q1: 20 vs 19 period excludes the impact from the 116 Chili’s restaurants acquired from a franchisee in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Chili’s franchise U.S. comparable for the Q1: 20 vs 19 period includes sales from these 116 acquired restaurants until the September 5, 2019 acquisition date.
(4) 
Chili’s franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income; however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe including franchise comparable restaurant sales provides investors information regarding brand performance that is relevant to current operations.
(5) 
Chili’s franchise comparable sales, Chili’s franchise U.S. comparable sales, Chili’s domestic comparable sales and System-wide comparable sales for the Q1: 19 vs 18 period were restated due to a change in franchise reported sales.

(6) 
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.
(7) 
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.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
Brinker management uses certain non-GAAP measures in analyzing operating performance and believes that the presentation of these measures in this release provides investors with information that is beneficial to gaining an understanding of the Company’s financial results. Non-GAAP disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are included in the tables below.
Reconciliation of Net Income and Earnings Per Share Excluding Special Items
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.

Special items in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 consist of $1.5 million of incremental depreciation expenses associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets, partially offset by a $0.9 million net gain in Other (gains) and charges.
Special items in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 consist of an $11.1 million net gain in Other (gains) and charges primarily related to gains recognized on the sale leaseback transactions, partially offset by $0.6 million of incremental depreciation expense associated with a change in estimated useful life of certain restaurant-level long-lived assets.
Footnote “(2)” to the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income contains additional details on the composition of Other (gains) and charges for each period presented.
(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 first quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily related to the statute expiration of liabilities established for uncertain tax positions and the tax impact of excess tax shortfalls associated with stock-based compensation. Adjustment for special tax items in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily related to the tax impact of excess tax shortfalls associated with stock-based compensation.
Reconciliation of Restaurant Operating Margin
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 in that 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 Company restaurant expenses, including Cost of sales, 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 banquet service charges, digital entertainment revenues and gift card breakage. Depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which is 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.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 25, 2019 includes the preliminary purchase price allocation for the 116 Chili’s restaurants on September 5, 2019 primarily related to $7.3 million of Total current assets, $60.6 million of Net property and equipment, $163.7 million of Operating lease assets, and Other assets that primarily included $24.3 million of goodwill and $6.5 million of reacquired franchise right intangibles, $10.2 million of Total current liabilities, and $158.3 million of Operating lease liabilities, less current portion.
In addition to the assumed assets and liabilities described above, we also entered into 18 new leases with the previous franchisee related to certain restaurant properties. As of September 25, 2019, the new finance leases recorded include Net property and equipment of $21.2 million, Total current liabilities of $0.5 million, and Long-term debt and finance leases, less current installments of $20.6 million. And the new operating leases recorded include Operating lease assets of $11.8 million, Operating lease liabilities of $0.3 million, and Long-term operating lease liabilities, less current portion of $9.0 million.
(2) 
Of the 1,118 company-owned restaurant locations, at September 25, 2019, we own both building and land for 43 restaurant locations. The related book value of the land totaled $34.1 million and the net book value of buildings totaled $16.7 million for these locations.
(3) 
Effective June 27, 2019, we adopted ASC 842, the new lease accounting standard that required us to recognize operating lease assets and liabilities in the balance sheet. Under our historical accounting, operating leases were not recognized in the balance sheet. Prior results have not been restated for the impact of this accounting change. Upon adoption at June 27, 2019, we recognized Operating lease assets of $1,034.3 million, operating lease liabilities recorded in Current liabilities of $110.8 million and Long-term operating lease liabilities, less current portion of $1,044.9 million in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred income taxes, net was reduced by $3.5 million and offset into Total shareholders’ deficit related to the impact of adopting ASC 842 and recording the initial operating lease assets and liabilities as described above.
