CEO Comments

“We are pleased with the results for the quarter driven by continued strong performances at Outback, Fleming’s and Brazil, and positive momentum at Carrabba’s,” said Elizabeth Smith, CEO. “The strength of our portfolio more than offsets traffic declines at Bonefish Grill which is returning to their polished casual roots. We are well-positioned to deliver on our 2015 EPS guidance of at least $1.27.”

The decrease in Total revenues was primarily due to the effect of foreign currency translation and was partially offset by the net benefit of new restaurant openings and closings.

The increase in Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin was primarily due to productivity savings and higher U.S. average unit volumes. These increases were partially offset by commodity and wage rate inflation.

The decrease in Adjusted operating income margin was driven by higher general and administrative expense primarily related to the lapping of lower incentive compensation in Q2 2014.

The difference between Adjusted and U.S. GAAP restaurant-level operating margins and operating income margins in Q2 2015 was primarily due to the favorable resolution of the 2011 payroll tax audit contingency in 2015.

The decrease in Total revenues is primarily due to foreign currency translation and the impact of the International Restaurant Closure Initiative.

The decrease in Adjusted and U.S. GAAP operating income margin was primarily due to commodity and labor inflation as well as investment spending related to the launching of Abbraccio in Brazil. This decrease was partially offset by new restaurant openings, productivity savings and pricing.

Foreign currency translation negatively impacted adjusted income from operations by $2.4 million.


Unallocated Corporate Operating Expense

Certain expenses are managed centrally and are not allocated to the U.S. or International segment. In total, Q2 2015 unallocated expenses were $36.4 million, which was $9.2 million higher than Q2 2014. The increase is primarily due to the lapping of lower incentive compensation expense in Q2 2014, which is included in consolidated operating margins.

Dividend Declaration and Share Repurchases

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to be paid on August 28, 2015 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 18, 2015.

During Q2 2015, the Company repurchased $30.0 million of common stock, which completes the December 2014 share repurchase program. On August 3, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a new $100.0 million share repurchase program. The authorization will expire on February 3, 2017.


Other Events

On July 21, 2015, Moody’s upgraded the Company’s Corporate Family Rating to Ba2, two steps below investment grade rating. This upgrade reflects the improved operating performance and lower funded debt levels at the operating company.


Fiscal 2015 Financial Outlook

The Company is reaffirming its full-year Adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance of at least $1.27.

The Company has revised guidance on the following items for the full year 2015:

Blended U.S. comparable restaurant sales growth is expected to be approximately 1.5% versus prior guidance of “at least” 1.5%. This change is primarily due to lower sales expectations at Bonefish.

Total Revenues are expected to be approximately $4.43 billion versus prior guidance of “at least” $4.43 billion.

Commodity inflation range is now expected to be 3.5% to 4.0% versus prior guidance of 4.0% to 6.0%. This change reflects continued improvement in seafood and dairy.

Capital expenditures are now expected to be between $225 million to $235 million versus prior guidance of $235 million to $255 million.

All other elements of the fiscal 2015 guidance included in the February 19, 2015 release remain intact.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted net income, (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings per share, (v) Adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margin and (vi) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin.

Although we believe these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance,
these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace U.S. GAAP financial measures. These metrics are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and establish employee incentive plans.

For reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this release, refer to tables four, five, six and seven included later in this release.

_________________
(1)
Excludes restricted cash.
(2)
The Company has, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). The Company operates successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on Restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on its current liabilities and its inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.
