BRINKER INTERNATIONAL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 RESULTS; AND UPDATES FISCAL 2023 GUIDANCE
DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE:EAT) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended December 28, 2022.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Highlights
Our results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were driven by a solid increase in company sales and improved restaurant operating margin. Our brand's ability to implement incremental menu pricing and drive positive item mix led to a 9.7% increase in comparable restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Specifically, Maggiano's experienced strong holiday sales in all channels, including dining room, banquet and to go, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Restaurant operating margin improved over the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due primarily to the increase in sales and moderating commodity inflation. Commodity inflation for the quarter increased meaningfully year over year and will continue to be a headwind, although at a diminishing rate as we move through the rest of the fiscal year. We increased facility expenditures at our restaurants in the second quarter in alignment with our commitment to improving our guest experience and ensuring our restaurants are in good repair and well maintained.
"Our second quarter performance represents a positive step forward for our new approach," said Kevin Hochman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Brinker International. "Our focus on the Team Member and Guest experience, coupled with a more strategic pricing strategy, has allowed us to grow our top line and sequentially improve our margins. We will build on this solid foundation as we continue to implement our strategic initiatives and move the business forward."

Brinker | 9.7 % |
Chili's | 8.0 % |
Maggiano's | 21.2 % |
• | Company sales(1) increased 10.2% to $1,009.4 million, driven by a comparable restaurant sales increase of 9.7%. The increase in comparable restaurant sales is due primarily to increased menu pricing, favorable menu item mix, plus the favorable impact of increased sales from fiscal 2022 acquisitions partially offset by lower traffic. Chili's and Maggiano's comparable restaurant sales increased 8.0% and 21.2%, respectively. |

(2) | See Non-GAAP Information and Reconciliations section below for more details. |
(3) | Comparable Restaurant Sales include restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months. Restaurants temporarily closed for 14 days or more are excluded from comparable restaurant sales. Percentage amounts are calculated based on the comparable periods year-over-year. |
Updated Full Year Fiscal 2023 Guidance
We are providing the following updates to our full year fiscal 2023 guidance. The uncertainties created by current macroeconomic conditions, among other risks, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
- Total revenues are expected to be in the range of $4.05 billion - $4.15 billion;
- Net income per diluted share, excluding special items, is expected to be in the range of $2.60 - $2.90;
- Capital expenditures are expected to be in the range of $170 million - $180 million;
- Weighted average shares are expected to be in the range of 44 million - 45 million.
We are unable to reliably forecast special items without unreasonable effort. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures.
Basis of Presentation
Effective for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we are presenting certain revenue streams within Company sales to better align with the presentation used within the casual dining industry. Our presentation of Franchise revenues will now include only revenues related to the franchise-operated restaurants. Comparative figures in prior years have been adjusted to conform to the current year's presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on Total revenues or Net income previously reported.
Company sales include revenues generated by the operation of Company-owned restaurants, including food and beverage sales, net of discounts, Maggiano's banquet service charge income, gift card breakage, delivery income, digital entertainment revenues, merchandise income and gift card discount costs from third-party gift card sales.
Franchise revenues include franchise royalties, franchise advertising fees, franchise and development fees and gift card program fees.

Chili's
- Chili's Company sales increased primarily due to increased menu pricing, favorable menu item mix and the acquisition of 68 restaurants in fiscal 2022, partially offset by lower traffic.
- Chili's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to commodity price inflation, higher repair and maintenance expenses, manager salaries and bonus, hourly wage rates, staffing levels, rent and utilities expenses, and delivery fees. These increases were partially offset by sales leverage.
- Chili's franchisees generated sales of approximately $213.4 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to $201.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022.
Maggiano's
- Maggiano's Company sales increased primarily due to higher dining room and banquet traffic and increased menu pricing.
- Maggiano's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to sales leverage. The decreases were partially offset by commodity price inflation, higher hourly wage rates, delivery fees, and repair and maintenance costs.
Income Taxes
- On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 3.0% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The effective income tax rate is lower than the statutory rate of 21% due primarily to leverage of the FICA tip credit and the impact of aligning fiscal 2023 year-to-date tax expense with the current estimated annual tax rate. Excluding the impact of special items, the effective income tax rate was an expense of 4.8% in the second quarter of fiscal 2023.

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 because 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 Food and beverage costs, 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 as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA (in millions)
Brinker believes presenting Adjusted EBITDA provides a useful measure of our operating performance, excluding the impacts of financing costs, capital expenditures and special items. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation. We define Adjusted EBITDA as Operating income before Depreciation and amortization and Other (gains) and charges.
