Results for the first quarter included the
following highlights:
- Comparable restaurant sales increased 5.2% at company
restaurants and 4.3% at domestic franchise restaurants;
- Restaurant margin, as a percentage of restaurant and other
sales, decreased 128 basis points to 17.9%, primarily due to labor
costs which increased 118 basis points. Restaurant margin
dollars increased 2.7% to $122.6 million from $119.4 million in the
prior year;
- Diluted earnings per share decreased 8.1% to $0.70 from $0.76
in the prior year primarily due to higher general and
administrative expenses and higher depreciation and amortization
expense, partially offset by higher restaurant margin dollars;
and
- Four Texas Roadhouse company restaurants were opened and two
international franchise restaurants were opened.
Scott Colosi, President of Texas Roadhouse, Inc., commented,
“Our top-line momentum continued this quarter highlighted by
comparable restaurant sales growth of 5.2%. Despite our
ongoing sales strength, our profits continue to be pressured by
higher labor costs. Much of the labor increase was driven by
wage rate and other labor inflation that currently does not show
signs of abating. As a result, we are updating our labor
inflation expectations for 2019. The additional 1.5% of
pricing we put in place at the beginning of the second quarter will
provide a significant benefit for the remainder of 2019.
While we are certainly facing some challenges in our business right
now, I have no doubt that our brand positioning is stronger than
ever.”
Kent Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Texas Roadhouse, Inc.,
commented, “I am proud of our operators who continue to be
committed to actively protecting the guest experience and taking
care of our employees in this very competitive labor market.
We will continue to manage our business with a long-term view that
includes growing average unit volumes from just over $5.0 million
to $6.0 million in the coming years. We believe this
approach, along with the strength of our operations and our
legendary brand, well positions our business for long-term sales
and profit growth.”
2019 Outlook
Comparable restaurant sales at company
restaurants for the first four weeks of our second quarter of
fiscal 2019 increased approximately 2.9% compared to the prior year
period.
Management updated the following expectation for
2019:
- Approximately 7.0% to 8.0% growth in total labor dollars per
store week.
Management reiterated the following expectations
for 2019:
- Positive comparable restaurant sales growth including a menu
price increase of approximately 1.5% implemented at the beginning
of the second quarter;
- 25 to 30 company restaurant openings, including as many as four
Bubba’s 33 restaurants;
- Commodity cost inflation of approximately 1.0% to 2.0%;
- An income tax rate of approximately 15.0%; and
- Total capital expenditures of approximately $210 million to
$220 million.
Non-GAAP Measures
We prepare our consolidated financial statements
in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”). Within our press release, we make reference to
restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of sales).
Restaurant margin represents restaurant and other sales less
restaurant-level operating costs, including cost of sales, labor,
rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin should not
be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from
operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of
overall company performance and profitability in that this measure
does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders due to the
nature of the costs excluded. Restaurant margin is widely
regarded as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level
operating efficiency and performance. In calculating
restaurant margin, we exclude certain non-restaurant-level costs
that support operations, including pre-opening and general and
administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on
restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. We
also exclude depreciation and amortization expense, substantially
all of which relates to restaurant-level assets, as it represents a
non-cash charge for the investment in our restaurants. We
also exclude impairment and closure expense as we believe this
provides a clearer perspective of ongoing operating performance and
a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant
margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled
measures of other companies in our industry. A reconciliation
of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the
accompanying financial tables.

franchise restaurants we acquire or other concepts we develop; our
ability to continue to generate the necessary cash flows to fund
our new restaurant growth, continue our share repurchase program
and pay a quarterly cash dividend; strength of consumer spending;
