    LEBANON, Tenn., March 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. ("Cracker Barrel" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: CBRL) today reported its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 ended January 31, 2025.

    Commenting on the second quarter results, Cracker Barrel President and Chief Executive Officer Julie Masino said, "Outstanding execution by our teams, coupled with our actions to improve the profitability of our off-premise channels during the high-volume holiday season, delivered strong second quarter results that exceeded our expectations. Despite some recent industry-wide softness, these results, together with the continued improvements in key guest and operational metrics and the initiatives we have planned for our important fourth quarter, make us confident in raising our financial outlook for the remainder of the year."

    Quarterly Dividend Declaration

    Fiscal 2025 Outlook

    The Company updated its outlook and expects the following for fiscal 2025: 

    • Total revenue of $3.45 billion to $3.50 billion (vs. previous outlook of $3.4 billion to $3.5 billion)
    • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $210 million to $220 million2 (vs. previous outlook of $200 million to $215 million2)
    • Commodity inflation of 2% to 3% compared to the prior year (no change vs. previous outlook)
    • Hourly wage inflation of approximately 3% compared to the prior year (vs. previous outlook of 3% to 4%)
    • Capital expenditures of $160 million to $180 million (no change vs. previous outlook)
    • 1 to 2 new Cracker Barrel stores (vs. previous outlook of 2), which includes 1 store opened fiscal year-to-date
    • 4 new Maple Street Biscuit Company units (vs. previous outlook of 3 to 4), which includes 3 units opened fiscal year-to-date

    The Company reminds investors that its outlook reflects a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company's control.  In particular, uncertainties created by macroeconomic conditions, such as ongoing inflation, low consumer confidence and high interest rates may adversely affect consumer behavior and cause actual results to differ materially from those expected.

    1 Adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per diluted share are non-GAAP financial measures. For definitions of these non-GAAP measures and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures, please refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP-Basis Operating Results to Non-GAAP Operating Results section of this release.

    2 The Company has determined to provide guidance focused on adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes it will be more useful to investors to evaluate the Company's performance prior to the impact of depreciation (given the expected increase in investments and the resulting higher expected depreciation expense), taxes, impairment charges, and other items that management believes are not reflective of the Company's current operations. The Company is not able to reconcile the forward-looking estimate of adjusted EBITDA set forth above to a forward-looking estimate of net income, the most directly comparable estimated measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict, forecast or determine the probable significance of certain items impacting these estimates, including interest expense, taxes, impairment charges and share-based compensation, with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Accordingly, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP estimate is not provided.

    Fiscal 2025 Second Quarter Conference Call

    As previously announced, the live broadcast of Cracker Barrel's quarterly conference call will be available to the public online at investor.crackerbarrel.com today beginning at 11:00 a.m. (ET). The online replay will be available at 2:00 p.m. (ET) and continue through March 20, 2025.

    Reconciliation of GAAP-Basis Operating Results to Non-GAAP Operating Results

    (Unaudited and in thousands, except per share amounts)

    Adjusted Net Income and Earnings Per Share

    In the accompanying press release, the Company makes reference to its second quarter fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2025 adjusted net income and earnings per share. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding, to the extent the following items occurred during the periods presented: (i) impairment charges, (ii) expenses related to the proxy contest in connection with the Company's 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, (iii) expenses related to the Company's CEO transition, (iv) expenses associated with the Company's strategic transformation initiative, (v) a corporate restructuring charge, (vi) an employee benefits policy change, (vii) goodwill impairment charges, and (viii) the related tax impacts of the foregoing.  The Company believes excluding these items from its financial results provides investors with an enhanced understanding of the Company's financial results and enhances comparability across periods. The Company calculates adjusted net income margin by dividing adjusted net income by consolidated GAAP revenue. Beginning with the Company's second quarter fiscal 2025, the Company is no longer adjusting its non-GAAP financial measures for store closing costs. The Company believes this modification to its adjusted net income definition will improve comparability period-to-period and with respect to similar measures presented by peers and enhance investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance. Prior period results presented below have been restated in accordance with this revised definition. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or earnings per share information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

    Reconciliation of GAAP-Basis Operating Results to Non-GAAP Operating Results

    (Unaudited and in thousands)

    EBITDA/Adjusted EBITDA

    In the accompanying press release and the below reconciliation tables, the Company makes reference to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense and tax expense. The Company further adjusts EBITDA to exclude, to the extent the following items occurred during the periods presented: (i) expenses related to share-based compensation, (ii) impairment charges, (iii) the proxy contest in connection with the Company's 2024 annual meeting of shareholders, (iv) goodwill impairment charges, (v) the Company's CEO transition, (vi) expenses associated with the Company's strategic transformation initiative, (vii) a corporate restructuring charge, and (viii) an employee benefits policy change. The Company calculates EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin by dividing EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA by consolidated GAAP revenue. Beginning with the Company's second quarter fiscal 2025, the Company is no longer adjusting its non-GAAP financial measures for store closing costs. The Company believes this modification to its EBITDA definition will improve comparability period-to-period and with respect to similar measures presented by peers and enhance investors' understanding of the Company's operating performance. Prior period results presented below have been restated in accordance with this revised definition. The Company believes that presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (together with related margin figures) provides investors with an enhanced understanding of the Company's operating performance and debt leverage metrics and enhances comparability with the Company's historical results, and that the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure, when combined with the primary presentation of net income, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of the Company's operating performance. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or net income margin prepared in accordance with GAAP.
