Q1 Diluted EPS of $(0.96) and Q1 Adjusted
Diluted EPS of $0.70
Retired $83.6M of Convertible Notes
Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for
the first quarter 2024 (“Q1 2024”) compared to the first quarter
2023 (“Q1 2023”).
CEO Comments “The first
quarter was a solid start to the year, as sales and profit met our
expectations,” said David Deno, CEO. “After a slower start, sales
trends strengthened throughout the quarter. Our sales performance
is well ahead of the casual dining industry as our marketing and
operations initiatives are paying off, especially at Outback.”

(1) See non-GAAP Measures later

the nature of restaurant-level and operating income margin
adjustments, respectively.
- As described in the table below, our Q1 2024 fiscal calendar
began one week later than Q1 2023. This shift impacts the
comparability of the two periods. Q1 2023 includes several
high-volume days between December 26th and December 31st. Q1 2024
excludes these high-volume days. This shift had a negative impact
of approximately $16.5 million on comparable restaurant sales and
$0.06 on adjusted diluted earnings per share.
First Quarter Fiscal Calendar
Calculation Dates
January 1, 2024 - March 31,
2024
vs.
December 26, 2022 - March 26,
2023
- The decrease in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) lower
comparable restaurant sales including the impact of the one-week
shift in the fiscal calendar, (ii) the net impact of restaurant
closures and openings and (iii) the impact of the Brazil value
added tax exemptions during 2023. The decrease was partially offset
by the effect of foreign currency translation.
- GAAP operating income margin decreased from Q1 2023 primarily
due to: (i) a decrease in restaurant-level operating margin, as
detailed below, (ii) the impacts of the 2023 Closure Initiative,
(iii) higher depreciation and amortization expense and (iv) the
impact of lapping the Brazil value added tax exemption.
- Restaurant-level operating margin decreased from Q1 2023
primarily due to: (i) lower comparable restaurant sales including
the impact of the one-week shift in the fiscal calendar, (ii)
higher labor, other operating expenses, and commodity costs driven
by inflation, and (iii) higher advertising expense. These decreases
were offset by an increase in average check per person and the
impact of certain cost saving and productivity initiatives.
- Adjusted income from operations excludes impairment and closure
costs in connection with the 2023 Closure Initiative.

Dividend Declaration, Share Repurchases
and 2025 Notes Retirement On April 23, 2024, our Board
of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share,
payable on May 31, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of
business on May 20, 2024.
On February 13, 2024, our Board of Directors canceled $57.5
million of remaining authorization under our prior share repurchase
program and approved a new $350.0 million authorization. The 2024
Share Repurchase Program includes capacity above our normal share
repurchases activity to provide flexibility in retiring our
convertible senior notes at or prior to their May 2025 maturity
(the “2025 Notes”). The 2024 Share Repurchase Program will expire
on August 13, 2025.
On February 29, 2024, we entered into exchange agreements with
certain holders of our 2025 Notes. We delivered an aggregate of
approximately 7.5 million shares of common stock and $3.3 million
in cash, in exchange for $83.6 million in aggregate principal
amount of the 2025 Notes.
On March 1, 2024, the Company entered into an accelerated share
repurchase agreement (the “ASR Agreement”), in connection with the
2024 Share Repurchase Program to repurchase $220 million of the
Company’s common stock.
Under the ASR Agreement, the Company made an aggregate payment
of $220.0 million and received an aggregate initial delivery of
approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock on March 4, 2024,
representing approximately 80% of the total shares that were
estimated to be repurchased under the ASR Agreement based on the
price per share of common stock on that date. On April 23, 2024,
the Company received 1.4 million additional shares of common stock
in connection with the final settlement of the ASR Agreement.
2023 Closure Initiative In
Q4 2023, we made the decision to close 36 predominantly older,
underperforming restaurants and three U.S. and two international
Aussie Grill restaurants. We have completed all restaurant closures
under the 2023 Closure Initiative and incurred severance and
closure charges of $13.0 million during Q1 2024.

Reviewing Strategic Alternatives for
Brazil Operations The Company also announced that it is
exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives for the Company’s
Brazil operations that have the potential to maximize value for our
shareholders, including but not limited to, a possible sale of the
operations. The Board of Directors has retained BofA Securities,
Inc. as its financial advisor.
The Company plans to proceed in a timely manner, but has not set
a definitive timetable for completion of this process. There can be
no assurance that this review will result in a transaction or other
strategic alternative of any kind. The Company does not intend to
make any further public comment regarding the review unless it
determines that disclosure is appropriate or necessary.
Conference Call The Company
will host a conference call today, May 7, 2024 at 8:00 AM EDT. The
conference call will be webcast live from the Company’s website at
http://www.bloominbrands.com under the Investors section. A replay
of this webcast will be available on the Company’s website after
the call.

differentiated restaurant concepts. The Company has four
founder-inspired brands: Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian

www.bloominbrands.com.
Non-GAAP Measures In
addition to the results provided in accordance with 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 GAAP and include: (i) Restaurant-level
operating income, adjusted restaurant-level operating income and
their corresponding margins, (ii) Adjusted income from operations
and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted segment income from
operations and the corresponding margin, (iv) Adjusted net income
and (v) Adjusted diluted earnings per share.
Restaurant-level operating margin is a non-GAAP financial
measure widely regarded in the industry as a useful metric to
evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of
ongoing restaurant-level operations, and we use it for these
purposes, overall and particularly within our two segments.
We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits
investors to assess the operating performance of our business
relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to
other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the
effects of certain items that may 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 or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of
these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of
the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors
evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and
administer employee incentive plans.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace
GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized
or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of
adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines
endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that
are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that
may vary from period to period without correlation to our core
performance in that period. However, implementation of these
guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and
the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes
to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee.
You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in
Tables Four, Five, Six and Seven included later in this release for
descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period
and the corresponding prior period.

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

which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other
non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease

(b) Depreciation and

to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather
than cash outlays for the restaurants.
(c) General and administrative

associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at

incorporates 4,031 dilutive securities, including 3,132 for
outstanding warrants. Adjusted diluted weighted average common
shares outstanding was calculated including the benefit of our
convertible notes hedge.
