- Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA* increased $7.8 million to
$41.9 million; and
- Adjusted EBITDA* increased $5.7 million to $27.3 million.
*Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA are
non-GAAP measures. Please see definitions and the reconciliations
of these non-GAAP measures in the accompanying financial
information below.
Recent Developments and Trends
In the quarter ended September 24, 2023, we saw continued
revenue growth and same restaurant sales growth. Total revenue grew
10.4% during the quarter ended September 24, 2023 and 12.8% for the
three quarters ended September 24, 2023. Same-restaurant sales grew
3.9% during the quarter ended September 24, 2023, compared to 5.8%
same-restaurant sales growth during the same quarter in 2022.
Same-restaurant sales grew 6.1% during the three quarters ended
September 24, 2023, compared to 5.2% same-restaurant sales growth
during the three quarters ended September 25, 2022.
We believe unit growth is a key driver of shareholder value
creation. During the quarter ended September 24, 2023, we opened
two new restaurants, one restaurant in Arizona and our second
location in Texas for a total of 78 restaurants, including a
restaurant owned by C&O, of which Portillo's owns 50% of the
equity. The one restaurant opened in the fourth quarter of 2022 and
six restaurants opened during the three quarters ended September
24, 2023 positively impacted revenues by approximately
$11.0 million and $31.5 million in the quarter and three
quarters ended September 24, 2023, respectively. We opened one
restaurant subsequent to September 24, 2023 and plan to open five
additional restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2023.
In the quarter and three quarters ended September 24, 2023, we
continued to see commodity inflation stabilize. Commodity inflation
was 3.5% and 5.8% for the quarter and three quarters ended
September 24, 2023, respectively, compared to 15.4% for both the
quarter and three quarters ended September 25, 2022. For the
quarter and three quarters ended September 24, 2023, we experienced
a decline in labor expenses, as a percentage of revenue, compared
to the quarter and three quarters ended September 25, 2022
primarily due to increases in revenue, partially offset by
decreases in transactions, higher labor utilization and additional
wage investments. During mid-January 2023 and at the beginning of
May 2023, we increased certain menu prices to reflect a net
approximate 2.0% and 3.0% price increase, respectively, to continue
to combat inflationary cost pressures and progress towards our goal
to improve Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA margins for fiscal
2023. We will continue to monitor our cost pressures, the
competitive landscape as well as consumer sentiment to inform our
pricing decisions in the coming quarters.
In the quarter ended September 24, 2023, operating income margin
and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved versus prior
year. We believe this improvement was the result of our ongoing
efforts to deploy strategic pricing actions, elevate guest
experiences, and implement operational efficiencies. The strength
of our brand, the consistency of our operations, and the ongoing
execution of a disciplined development strategy all support our
business model. Further, we intend to continue to develop
shareholder value through self-funded restaurant development and an
ongoing focus on operations.
Review of Third Quarter 2023 Financial
Results
Revenues for the quarter ended September 24, 2023 were $166.8
million compared to $151.1 million for the quarter ended September
25, 2022, an increase of $15.7 million or 10.4%. The increase in
revenues was primarily attributed to the opening of one restaurant
in the fourth quarter of 2022 and six restaurants during the three
quarters ended September 24, 2023 combined with an increase in our
same-restaurant sales. New restaurants positively impacted revenues
by approximately $11.0 million in the quarter ended September
24, 2023. Same-restaurant sales increased 3.9% during the third
quarter ended September 24, 2023, which was attributable to an
increase in average check of 7.4%, partially offset by a 3.5%
decrease in transactions. The higher average check was driven by an
approximate 9.1% increase in certain menu prices partially offset
by product mix. For the purpose of calculating same-restaurant
sales for September 24, 2023, sales for the 66 restaurants that
were open for at least 24 full fiscal periods were included in the
Comparable Restaurant Base (as defined in "Selected Operating Data"
below).
Total restaurant operating expenses for the third quarter ended
September 24, 2023 were $124.9 million compared to $117.0 million
for the third quarter ended September 25, 2022, an increase of $7.9
million or 6.7%. The increase in restaurant operating expenses was
driven by the opening of one restaurant in the fourth quarter of
2022 and six restaurants during the three quarters ended September
24, 2023. Additionally, labor expense increases were also driven by
incremental investments to support our team members, including
annual rate increases, and higher variable-based compensation.
Food, beverage and packaging costs were negatively impacted by a
3.5% increase in commodity prices, partially offset by lower
third-party delivery commissions. Operating expenses increased due
to an increase in credit card fees, utilities, and insurance.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
September 24, 2023 were $18.9 million compared to $18.1 million for
the quarter ended September 25, 2022, an increase of $0.8 million
or 4.6%. This increase was primarily driven by increases in
salaries, wages and benefits attributable to annual rate increases
and the filling of open positions, partially offset by a decrease
in professional fees and insurance expenses.
Operating income for the quarter ended September 24, 2023 was
$15.1 million compared to $10.6 million for the quarter ended
September 25, 2022, an increase of $4.5 million or 42.6% due to the
aforementioned increase in revenues, partially offset by the
aforementioned increases in expenses and higher pre-opening
expenses.
Net income for the third quarter ended September 24, 2023 was
$6.5 million compared to net income of $3.2 million for the third
quarter ended September 25, 2022, an increase of $3.3 million or
104.7%. The increase in net income was primarily due to the
aforementioned increase in operating income, decrease in interest
expense of $0.5 million and an increase in interest income of $0.1
million partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of
$1.6 million and a decrease in the Tax Receivable Agreement
liability adjustment of $0.2 million. The $0.5 million decrease in
interest expense was primarily driven by the improved lending terms
associated with our 2023 Term Loan and 2023 Revolver Facility.
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter ended
September 24, 2023 was $41.9 million compared to $34.1 million for
the third quarter ended September 25, 2022, an increase of $7.8
million or 22.9%.
Adjusted EBITDA* for the third quarter ended September 24, 2023
was $27.3 million compared to $21.6 million for the third quarter
ended September 25, 2022, an increase of $5.7 million or 26.2%.

Adjusted EBITDA and the nearest GAAP financial measure is included
under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the accompanying financial
information below.

Retirement of Richard K. Lubin from the Board of
Directors
Richard K. Lubin notified the Company’s Board of Directors
(“Board”) of his intent to retire from the Board and Compensation
Committee on October 30, 2023. His decision to retire from the
Board is consistent with his decision earlier this year to
transition to a senior advisory role at Berkshire Partners LLC.
Mr. Lubin has been a member of the Board since 2014, when
Berkshire Partners LLC acquired the Company. The Company and the
Board would like to thank Mr. Lubin for his many important
contributions and his commitment to the Company during his tenure
on the Board. Osanloo spoke highly of Lubin, noting “Richard has
been such an asset to Portillo’s. He is a great thought partner and
overall terrific person, and I appreciate all he’s done during his
time here to support the Company. He certainly leaves some big
shoes to fill. We wish him all the best as he begins this new
chapter.”
The following definitions apply to these terms as used
in this release:
Same-Restaurant Sales - The change in
same-restaurant sales is the percentage change in year-over-year
revenue (excluding gift card breakage) for the Comparable
Restaurant Base, excluding a restaurant that is owned by C&O.
The Comparable Restaurant Base is defined as the number of
restaurants open for at least 24 full fiscal periods. As of
September 24, 2023 and September 25, 2022, there were 66 and 61
restaurants in our Comparable Restaurant Base, respectively.
A change in same-restaurant sales growth is the result of a
change in restaurant transactions, average guest check, or a
combination of the two. We gather daily sales data and regularly
analyze the guest transaction counts and the mix of menu items sold
to strategically evaluate menu pricing and demand. Measuring our
same-restaurant sales growth allows management to evaluate the
performance of our existing restaurant base. We believe this
measure provides a consistent comparison of restaurant sales
results and trends across periods within our core, established
restaurant base, unaffected by results of restaurant openings and
enables investors to better understand and evaluate the Company’s
historical and prospective operating performance.
Average Unit Volume (“AUV”) - AUV is the total
revenue (excluding gift card breakage) recognized in the Comparable
Restaurant Base, including a restaurant that is owned by C&O,
divided by the number of restaurants in the Comparable Restaurant
Base, including C&O, by period.
This key performance indicator allows management to assess
changes in consumer spending patterns at our restaurants and the
overall performance of our restaurant base.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin -
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before depreciation
and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income
taxes, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items
that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing core operating
performance as identified in the reconciliation of net income
(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of revenues, net. See also “Non-GAAP Financial
Measures.”
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level
Adjusted EBITDA Margin - Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA
is defined as revenue, less restaurant operating expenses, which
include food, beverage and packaging costs, labor expenses,
occupancy expenses and other operating expenses. Restaurant-Level
Adjusted EBITDA excludes corporate level expenses and depreciation
and amortization on restaurant property and equipment.
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Restaurant-Level
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues, net. See also
“Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
For more information about the Company’s Non-GAAP measures, how
they are calculated and reconciled and why management believes that
they are useful, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

PORTILLO’S INC.NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the
following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA Margin, and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Accordingly, these
measures are not required by, nor presented in accordance with
GAAP, but rather are supplemental measures of operating performance
of our restaurants. You should be aware that these measures are not
indicative of overall results for the Company and that
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted
EBITDA Margin do not accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders
because of corporate-level expenses excluded from such measures.
These measures are supplemental measures of operating performance
and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similar
measures reported by other companies. These measures are important
measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of our
restaurants, individually and in the aggregate, but also have
important limitations as analytical tools and should not be
considered in isolation as substitutes for analysis of our results
as reported under GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before depreciation and
amortization, interest expense, interest income and income taxes,
adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we
do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing core operating
performance as identified in the reconciliation of net income
(loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted
EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a
percentage of revenues, net.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (i) to
evaluate our operating results and the effectiveness of our
business strategies, (ii) internally as benchmarks to compare our
performance to that of our competitors and (iii) as factors in
evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive
compensation.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are
important measures of operating performance because they eliminate
the impact of expenses that do not relate to our core operating
performance.
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenue, less
restaurant operating expenses, which include food, beverage and
packaging costs, labor expenses, occupancy expenses and other
operating expenses. Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA excludes
corporate level expenses and depreciation and amortization on
restaurant property and equipment. Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA
Margin represents Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage
of revenues, net.
We believe that Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important measures to
evaluate the performance and profitability of our restaurants,
individually and in the aggregate.

comparable GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
