Record 45 New Systemwide Shop Openings in Q1 2023

Quarterly Revenue Increased Nearly 30% to $197.3 million

Reaffirms 2023 Guidance

Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE:BROS, "Dutch Bros" or the "Company"))) one of the fastest-growing brands in the food service and restaurant industry in the United States by location count, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Joth Ricci, Chief Executive Officer of Dutch Bros, stated, "In Q1, we opened a record 45 shops system-wide and grew revenue almost 30%. We also saw meaningful margin expansion, driven by significant improvements in labor efficiency and G&A leverage. We doubled down in our pursuit of more profitable growth and delivered strong company-operated shop margins. I'm proud of how our teams responded quickly and decisively to the economic climate, demonstrated by their focused effort on accelerating profitability as we grow our shop footprint."

He continued, "During the quarter, we were encouraged by our customers' responses to our traffic-driving initiatives, including our "Fill-a-Tray" promotion, which resulted in the largest single sales day in Dutch Bros recorded history. We will continue to utilize innovative strategies to generate traffic demand and build momentum."

He concluded, "Our new shops are highly efficient, mature quickly, and continue to demonstrate predictable and attractive margin profiles. The class of shops opened in 2019, 2020, and 2021 have already achieved our 30% contribution margin target, and the class of 2022 is maturing in line with our margin expectations. We are hitting these targets as we continue entering new trade zones across the country. This performance gives us confidence in Dutch Bros growth strategy - both in the near-term and beyond."

Outlook

Dutch Bros is reaffirming the following full-year 2023 outlook:

Total system shop openings in 2023 are expected to be at least 150, of which at least 130 shops will be company-operated.
Total revenues are projected to be between $950 million and $1 billion.
Same shop sales² growth is estimated to be in the low single digits. At this point we have no plans to take additional pricing action in 2023. We expect low-single digits growth from pricing to roll-over into 2023 from pricing action taken in 2022.
Adjusted EBITDA³ is estimated to be approximately $125 million. This includes approximately $8 million we elected to make in labor investments related to wage increases in federal minimum wage markets and approximately $11 million in mandated wage increases in markets that do not adhere to the federal minimum wage standard.
Capital expenditures are estimated to be in the range of $225 million to $250 million, which includes approximately $15 million to $20 million in spending in 2023 for our new roasting facility projected to open in 2024.

²		Same shop sales is defined in the section "Select Financial Metrics".
³		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, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

¹		AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops that have been open a minimum of 15 months. AUVs are calculated by dividing the systemwide and company-operated shop net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations.

²		Same shop sales reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Systemwide shop base	503	414
Company-operated shop base	246	173

³		Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system's overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

⁴		Company-operated and franchise shops operating weeks are calculated based on the number operating days for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as shops opened as of the end date of the periods presented. The operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through 2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system's overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

⁵		Dutch Rewards is our digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans.

⁶		Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section "Non-GAAP Financial Measures".

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Equity-based compensation

Non-cash expenses related to the grant and vesting of stock awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in Dutch Bros PubCo¹ and/or Profit Interest Units in Dutch Bros OpCo² to certain eligible employees.

COVID-19: "thank you" pay and catastrophic leave

Costs related to two separate programs established to support employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented an hourly wage supplement program for shop employees who continued to work while their state or county was under a stay at home order or similar lockdown requirement. This program lasted in various markets until April 2021. We also established a catastrophic leave policy that provided paid leave to employees who were required to quarantine due to in-shop exposures and could not work their regular hours. All COVID-19-related protocols, including catastrophic leave, will remain in effect until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as determined by the appropriate government agency.

COVID-19: Prepaid costs not utilized

Costs related to the write-off of previously prepaid expenses for the development of a virtual corporate engagement platform built in response to the health restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform was developed as a substitute for in person engagement practices used pre-pandemic. The platform has been determined ineffective, particularly as we shift back to in-person events with the easing of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Milestone events

Costs incurred for company-wide events to celebrate 30 years of serving high QUALITY, hand-crafted beverages with unparalleled SPEED and superior SERVICE to our customers.

Executives transition costs

Employee severance and related benefit costs, as well as sign-on bonus(es) for several executive level transitions occurring in 2022 and 2023.

TRAs remeasurements

(Gain) loss impacts on condensed consolidated statements of operations related to adjustments of our TRAs liabilities.

Dilutive effects of RSAs and RSUs

Addition of incremental shares of RSAs and RSUs calculated under the treasury stock method, when they are dilutive for the calculation of weighted-average shares on a non-GAAP and GAAP basis.

Assumed exchange of weighted-average Class B and Class C shares of common stock

Weighted-average shares of Class B and C common stock that are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock.

Removal of allocation for controlling and non-controlling interests
