Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(tabular amounts in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas Roadhouse, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiaries and subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest (collectively, the "Company," "we," "our" and/or "us") as of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023 and for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023.

The Company maintains three restaurant concepts operating as Texas Roadhouse, Bubba’s 33, and Jaggers. As of June 25, 2024, we owned and operated 650 restaurants and franchised an additional 112 restaurants in 49 states, one U.S. territory, and ten foreign countries. Of the 112 franchise restaurants, there were 59 domestic restaurants and 53 international restaurants, including one in a U.S. territory. As of June 27, 2023, we owned and operated 614 restaurants and franchised an additional 95 restaurants in 49 states and ten foreign countries. Of the 95 franchise restaurants, there were 54 domestic restaurants and 41 international restaurants.

As of June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, we owned a majority interest in 19 and 20 company restaurants, respectively. The operating results of these majority-owned restaurants are consolidated and the portion of income attributable to noncontrolling interests is reflected in the line item net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

As of June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, we owned a 5.0% to 10.0% equity interest in 20 domestic franchise restaurants. These unconsolidated restaurants are accounted for using the equity method. Our investments in these unconsolidated affiliates are included in other assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, and we record our percentage share of net income earned by these unconsolidated affiliates in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income under equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. All significant intercompany balances and transactions for these unconsolidated restaurants as well as the entities whose accounts have been consolidated have been eliminated.

We have made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reporting of revenue and expenses during the periods to prepare these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the valuation of property and equipment, goodwill, lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, obligations related to insurance reserves, legal reserves, income taxes, and gift card breakage. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except that certain information and footnotes have been condensed or omitted pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2023.

Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosure. This ASU primarily requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses including requiring segment disclosures to include a description of other segment items by reportable segment and any additional measures of a segment’s profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") when deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU also requires all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 to be included in interim periods as well as the title of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing performance and allocating resources. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact of this new standard on our segment reporting disclosures and expect to provide additional detail and disclosures under this new guidance.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU primarily requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s income tax including requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of the information included in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We are currently assessing the impact of this new standard on our income tax disclosures and expect to provide additional detail and disclosures under this new guidance.

We maintain a revolving credit facility (the "credit facility") with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. The credit facility is an unsecured, revolving credit agreement and has a borrowing capacity of up to $300.0 million with the option to increase by an additional $200.0 million subject to certain limitations, including approval by the syndicate of commercial lenders. The credit facility has a maturity date of May 1, 2026.

We are required to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), plus a fixed adjustment of 0.10% and a variable adjustment of 0.875% to 1.875% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio.

As of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and had $295.3 million of availability, net of $4.7 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The interest rate for the credit facility as of June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023 was 6.21% and 6.07%, respectively.

The lenders’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the credit facility depends on us maintaining certain financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio. The credit facility permits us to incur additional secured or unsecured indebtedness, except for the incurrence of secured indebtedness that in the aggregate is equal to or greater than $125.0 million and 20% of our consolidated tangible net worth. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 25, 2024.

(4) Revenue

The following table disaggregates our revenue by major source:


	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
	June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023		June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023
Restaurant and other sales	$	1,333,642	$	1,164,385	$	2,647,794	$	2,331,968
Franchise royalties		6,945		6,045		13,793		12,064

Total revenue	$	1,341,202	$	1,171,203	$	2,662,419	$	2,345,559

The following table presents a rollforward of deferred revenue-gift cards:


	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
	June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023		June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023
Beginning balance	$	266,482	$	240,729	$	373,913	$	335,403
Gift card activations, net of third-party fees		78,643		67,991		134,882		118,554
Gift card redemptions and breakage		(94,640)		(82,590)		(258,310)		(227,827)
Ending balance	$	250,485	$	226,130	$	250,485	$	226,130

We recognized restaurant sales of $46.1 million and $184.0 million for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024, respectively, related to amounts in deferred revenue as of December 26, 2023. We recognized restaurant sales of $45.5 million and $165.1 million for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2023, respectively, related to amounts in deferred revenue as of December 27, 2022.

(5) Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 15.0% and 12.7% for the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate was 14.5% and 13.3% for the 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, respectively. The increase in our tax rate for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024 as compared to the prior year periods was primarily due to a decrease in the impact of the FICA tip and work opportunity tax credits, which was driven by increased profitability.

(6)

Commitments and Contingencies

The estimated cost of completing capital project commitments at June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023 was $258.9 million and $237.4 million, respectively.

As of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023, we were contingently liable for $9.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for seven lease guarantees. These amounts represent the maximum potential liability of future payments under the guarantees. In the event of default, the indemnity and default clauses in our assignment agreements govern our ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. No material liabilities have been recorded as of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023, as the likelihood of default was deemed to be less than probable and the fair value of the guarantees is not considered significant.

During the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, we bought our beef primarily from four suppliers. Although there are a limited number of beef suppliers, we believe that other suppliers could provide a similar product on comparable terms. We have no material minimum purchase commitments with our vendors that extend beyond a year.

Table of Contents

Occasionally, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, including "slip and fall" accidents, employment related claims, claims related to our service of alcohol, and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or food quality, health or operational concerns. None of these types of litigation, most of which are covered by insurance at varying retention levels, has had a material adverse effect on us and, as of the date of this report, we are not party to any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business.

(7) Acquisitions

On December 28, 2022, the first day of the 2023 fiscal year, we completed the acquisition of eight franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants located in Maryland and Delaware, including four in which we previously held a 5.0% equity interest. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreements, we paid a total purchase price of $39.1 million, net of cash acquired, for 100% of the entities. The transactions in which we held an equity interest were accounted for as step acquisitions, and we recorded a gain of $0.6 million on our previous investments in equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

These transactions were accounted for using the acquisition method as defined in Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations. These acquisitions are consistent with our long-term strategy to increase net income and earnings per share.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for these acquisitions and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, which are adjusted for final measurement-period adjustments.


Inventory	$	410
Other assets		293
Property and equipment		17,763
Operating lease right-of-use assets		4,775
Goodwill		20,067
Intangible assets		1,700
Deferred revenue-gift cards		(1,164)
Current portion of operating lease liabilities		(110)
Operating lease liabilities, net of current portion		(4,665)
	$	39,069

Intangible assets represent reacquired franchise rights which are being amortized over a weighted-average useful life of 2.2 years. We expect all of the goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes and believe the resulting amount of goodwill reflects the benefit of sales and unit growth opportunities as well as the benefit of the assembled workforce of the acquired restaurants.

(8) Related Party Transactions

As of June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, we had four franchise restaurants and one majority-owned company restaurant owned in part by a current officer of the Company. We recognized revenue of $0.5 million for both of the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023 related to the four franchise restaurants. We recognized revenue of $1.0 million for both the 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023 related to the four franchise restaurants.

(9) Earnings Per Share

The share and net income per share data for all periods presented are based on the historical weighted-average shares outstanding. The diluted earnings per share calculations show the effect of the weighted-average restricted stock units from our equity incentive plans. Performance stock units are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation until the performance-based criteria have been met.

Table of Contents

For all periods presented, the weighted-average shares of nonvested stock units that were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they would have had an anti-dilutive effect were not significant.

The following table sets forth the calculation of earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income:



	13 Weeks Ended				26 Weeks Ended
	June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023		June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023

Diluted EPS:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding		66,785		66,974		66,814		66,995
Dilutive effect of nonvested stock units		259		255		263		266
Shares-diluted		67,044		67,229		67,077		67,261
Diluted EPS	$	1.79	$	1.22	$	3.48	$	2.51

(10) Fair Value Measurements

At June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. There were no transfers among levels within the fair value hierarchy during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024.

The following table presents the fair values for our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:


	Fair Value Measurements
	Level	June 25, 2024		December 26, 2023
Deferred compensation plan—assets	1	$	91,765	$	81,316
Deferred compensation plan—liabilities	1	$	(91,765)	$	(81,222)

We report the accounts of the deferred compensation plan in other assets and the corresponding liability in other liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments are considered trading securities and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these investments, as well as the offsetting compensation expense, are recorded in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

(11) Stock Repurchase Program

On March 17, 2022, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock. This stock repurchase program has no expiration date. All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase programs have been made through open market transactions. The timing and the amount of any repurchases are determined by management under parameters established by the Board, based on an evaluation of our stock price, market conditions, and other corporate considerations, including complying with Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

For the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024, we paid $26.2 million and $35.1 million to repurchase 162,404 shares and 222,666 shares of our common stock, respectively. For the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 27, 2023, we paid $23.4 million and $33.1 million to repurchase 213,975 shares and 306,726 shares of our common stock, respectively. As of June 25, 2024, $81.7 million remained under our authorized stock repurchase program.

(12) Segment Information

We manage our restaurant and franchising operations by concept and as a result have identified Texas Roadhouse, Bubba’s 33, Jaggers, and our retail initiatives as separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33. The Texas Roadhouse reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Texas Roadhouse restaurants and domestic and international franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants. The Bubba's 33 reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Bubba's 33 restaurants. Our remaining operating segments, which include the results of our domestic company and franchise Jaggers restaurants and the results of our retail initiatives, are included in Other. In addition, corporate-related segment assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures are also included in Other.

Management uses restaurant margin as the primary measure for assessing performance of our segments. Restaurant margin represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent, and other operating costs. Restaurant margin also includes sales and operating costs related to our non-royalty based retail initiatives. Restaurant margin is used by our CODM to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance.

In calculating restaurant margin, we exclude certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, including general and administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. We exclude pre-opening expense as it occurs at irregular intervals and would impact comparability to prior period results. We 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 exclude impairment and closure expense as we believe this provides a clearer perspective of the Company’s 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.

Restaurant and other sales for all operating segments are derived primarily from food and beverage sales. We do not rely on any major customer as a source of sales and the customers and assets of our reportable segments are located predominantly in the United States. There are no material transactions between reportable segments.

Our Company

Texas Roadhouse, Inc. is a growing restaurant company operating predominantly in the casual dining segment. Our late founder, W. Kent Taylor, started the Company in 1993 with the opening of the first Texas Roadhouse restaurant in Clarksville, Indiana. Since then, we have grown to three concepts with 762 restaurants in 49 states, one U.S. territory, and ten foreign countries. As of June 25, 2024, our 762 restaurants included:

●

650 company restaurants, of which 631 were wholly-owned and 19 were majority-owned. The results of operations of company restaurants are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. The portion of income attributable to noncontrolling interests in company restaurants that are majority-owned is reflected in the line item net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Of the 650 company restaurants, we operated 594 as Texas Roadhouse restaurants, 48 as Bubba’s 33 restaurants, and eight as Jaggers restaurants.

●

112 franchise restaurants, of which 20 we have a 5.0% to 10.0% ownership interest. The income derived from our minority interests in these franchise restaurants is reported in the line item equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Of the 112 franchise restaurants, 56 were domestic Texas Roadhouse restaurants, three were domestic Jaggers restaurants, and 53 were international Texas Roadhouse restaurants, including one restaurant in a U.S. territory.

We have contractual arrangements that grant us the right to acquire at pre-determined formulas the remaining equity interests in 17 of the 19 majority-owned company restaurants and 54 of the 59 domestic franchise restaurants.

Throughout this report, we use the term "restaurants" to include Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33, unless otherwise noted.

Table of Contents

Presentation of Financial and Operating Data

Throughout this report, the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, are referred to as Q2 2024 and Q2 2023, respectively. The 26 weeks ended June 25, 2024, and June 27, 2023, are referred to as 2024 YTD and 2023 YTD, respectively. Fiscal year 2024 will be 53 weeks in length, with the fourth quarter 14 weeks in length. Fiscal year 2023 was 52 weeks in length, with the quarters 13 weeks in length.

Key Measures We Use to Evaluate Our Company

Key measures we use to evaluate and assess our business include the following:

●

Comparable Restaurant Sales. Comparable restaurant sales reflect the change in sales for all company restaurants across all concepts, unless otherwise noted, over the same period of the prior year for the comparable restaurant base. We define the comparable restaurant base to include those restaurants open for a full 18 months before the beginning of the period measured excluding restaurants permanently closed during the period. Comparable restaurant sales can be impacted by changes in guest traffic counts or by changes in the per person average check amount. Menu price changes, the mix of menu items sold, and the mix of dine-in versus to-go sales can affect the per person average check amount.

●

Average Unit Volume. Average unit volume represents the average quarterly, year-to-date, or annual restaurant sales for Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33 restaurants open for a full six months before the beginning of the period measured excluding sales of restaurants permanently closed during the period, if applicable. Historically, average unit volume growth is less than comparable restaurant sales growth which indicates that newer restaurants are operating with sales growth levels lower than the company average. At times, average unit volume growth may be more than comparable restaurant sales growth which indicates that newer restaurants are operating with sales growth levels higher than the company average.

●

Store Weeks and New Restaurant Openings. Store weeks represent the number of weeks that all company restaurants across all concepts, unless otherwise noted, were open during the reporting period. Store weeks include weeks in which a restaurant is temporarily closed. Store week growth is driven by new restaurant openings and franchise acquisitions. New restaurant openings reflect the number of restaurants opened during a particular fiscal period, excluding store relocations. We consider store openings that occur simultaneously with a store closure in the same trade area to be a relocation.

●

Restaurant Margin. Restaurant margin (in dollars, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, and per store week) represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent, and other operating costs. Restaurant margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and 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 core restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance over various reporting periods on a consistent basis.

Table of Contents

Other Key Definitions

●

Restaurant and Other Sales. Restaurant sales include gross food and beverage sales, net of promotions and discounts, for all company restaurants. Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from restaurant sales in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. Other sales include the net impact of the amortization of third party gift card fees and gift card breakage income, sales related to our non-royalty based retail products, and content revenue related to our tabletop kiosk devices.

●

Franchise Royalties and Fees. Franchise royalties consist of royalties, as defined in our franchise agreement, paid to us by our domestic and international franchisees. Domestic and international franchisees also typically pay an initial franchise fee and/or development fee for each new restaurant or territory.

●

Food and Beverage Costs. Food and beverage costs consist of the costs of raw materials and ingredients used in the preparation of food and beverage products sold in our company restaurants. Approximately half of our food and beverage costs relate to beef.

●

Restaurant Labor Expenses. Restaurant labor expenses include all direct and indirect labor costs incurred in operations except for profit sharing incentive compensation expenses earned by our restaurant managing partners and market partners. These profit sharing expenses are reflected in restaurant other operating expenses. Restaurant labor expenses also include share-based compensation expense related to restaurant-level employees.

●

Restaurant Rent Expense. Restaurant rent expense includes all rent, except pre-opening rent, associated with the leasing of real estate and includes base, percentage, and straight-line rent expense.

●

Restaurant Other Operating Expenses. Restaurant other operating expenses consist of all other restaurant-level operating costs, the major components of which are credit card fees, profit sharing incentive compensation for our restaurant managing partners and market partners, utilities, supplies, general liability insurance, advertising, repairs and maintenance, property taxes, and outside services.

●

Pre-opening Expenses. Pre-opening expenses, which are charged to operations as incurred, consist of expenses incurred before the opening of a new or relocated restaurant and consist principally of opening and training team compensation and benefits, travel expenses, rent, food, beverage, and other initial supplies and expenses. The majority of pre-opening costs incurred relate to the hiring and training of employees due to the significant investment we make in training our people. Pre-opening costs vary by location depending on a number of factors, including the size and physical layout of each location; the number of management and hourly employees required to operate each restaurant; the availability of qualified restaurant staff members; the cost of travel and lodging for different geographic areas; the timing of the restaurant opening; and the extent of unexpected delays, if any, in obtaining final licenses and permits to open each restaurant.

●

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses include the depreciation of fixed assets and amortization of intangibles with definite lives, substantially all of which relates to restaurant-level assets.

●

Impairment and Closure Costs, Net. Impairment and closure costs, net include any impairment of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and goodwill, and expenses associated with the closure of a restaurant. Closure costs also include any gains or losses associated with a relocated restaurant or the sale of a closed restaurant and/or assets held for sale as well as costs associated with closed or relocated restaurants.

●

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses comprise expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support development and restaurant operations and provide an infrastructure to support future growth. This includes salary, incentive-based and share-based compensation

Table of Contents

expense related to executive officers and Support Center employees, salary and share-based compensation expense related to market partners, software hosting fees, professional fees, group insurance, advertising expense, and the realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to the investments in our deferred compensation plan.

●

Interest Income, Net. Interest income, net includes earnings on cash and cash equivalents and is reduced by interest expense, net of capitalized interest, on our debt or financing obligations including the amortization of loan fees, as applicable.

●

Equity Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates. Equity income includes our percentage share of net income earned by unconsolidated affiliates and our share of any gain on the acquisition of these affiliates. As of June 25, 2024, and June 27, 2023, we owned a 5.0% to 10.0% equity interest in 20 domestic franchise restaurants.

●

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of income attributable to the other owners of the majority-owned restaurants. Our consolidated subsidiaries include 19 and 20 majority-owned restaurants as of June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023, respectively.

Q2 2024 Financial Highlights

Total revenue increased $170.0 million or 14.5% to $1,341.2 million in Q2 2024 compared to $1,171.2 million in Q2 2023 primarily due to an increase in comparable restaurant sales and store weeks. Comparable restaurant sales and store weeks increased 9.3% and 5.6%, respectively, at company restaurants in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023. The increase in comparable restaurant sales was due to an increase in guest traffic along with an increase in our per person average check. The increase in store weeks was due to new store openings.

Net income increased $37.8 million or 46.0% to $120.1 million in Q2 2024 compared to $82.3 million in Q2 2023 primarily due to higher restaurant margin dollars, as described below, partially offset by higher general and administrative and depreciation and amortization expenses. Diluted earnings per share increased 46.4% to $1.79 in Q2 2024 from $1.22 in Q2 2023 primarily due to the increase in net income.

Restaurant margin dollars increased $59.8 million or 32.7% to $242.6 million in Q2 2024 compared to $182.8 million in Q2 2023 primarily due to higher sales. Restaurant margin, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, increased to 18.2% in Q2 2024 compared to 15.7% in Q2 2023. The increase in restaurant margin, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, was primarily driven by higher sales. The benefit of a higher average guest check and labor productivity more than offset wage and other labor inflation of 4.4% and commodity inflation of 0.4%.

In addition, during the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024, we incurred $77.8 million of capital expenditures, paid dividends of $40.7 million, and repurchased $26.2 million of common stock.

Table of Contents

The increases in restaurant sales for Q2 2024 and 2024 YTD were primarily attributable to an increase in store weeks and an increase in comparable restaurant sales. The increases in store weeks were driven by the opening of new restaurants. The increases in comparable restaurant sales were driven by an increase in guest traffic counts along with an increase in our per person average check as shown in the table below.


	Q2 2024		Q2 2023		2024 YTD		2023 YTD
Guest traffic counts	4.5	%	4.7	%	4.5	%	6.2	%
Per person average check	4.8	%	4.4	%	4.4	%	4.8	%
Comparable restaurant sales growth	9.3	%	9.1	%	8.9	%	11.0	%

To-go sales as a percentage of restaurant sales were 12.6% in both Q2 2024 and Q2 2023 and were 12.8% and 12.7% in 2024 YTD and 2023 YTD, respectively.

Per person average check includes the benefit of a menu price increase of approximately 2.2% implemented in Q2 2024 and menu price increases of approximately 2.2% and 2.7% implemented in Q2 2023 and Q4 2023, respectively.

In 2024 YTD, we opened 12 Texas Roadhouse company restaurants and three Bubba’s 33 company restaurants. In 2024, we expect store week growth of approximately 7.5% across all concepts, including a benefit of 2% from the 53^rd week.

Other sales include the net impact of the amortization of third party gift card fees and gift card breakage income, sales related to our non-royalty based retail products, and content revenue related to our tabletop kiosk devices. The net impact of these amounts was a reduction to other sales of $3.1 million and $3.5 million in Q2 2024 and Q2 2023, respectively, and $9.2 million and $8.6 million in 2024 YTD and 2023 YTD, respectively.

Franchise Royalties and Fees

Franchise royalties and fees increased by $0.7 million or 10.9% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023 and increased by $1.0 million or 7.6% in 2024 YTD compared with 2023 YTD. The increases were due to comparable restaurant sales growth and new store openings partially offset by $0.3 million in Q2 2024 and $0.9 million in 2024 YTD related to the reclassification of certain items that were reported in general and administrative expenses in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income in Q2 2023 and 2023 YTD.

In 2024 YTD, our franchise partners opened five international Texas Roadhouse restaurants, including one in a U.S. territory, and one Jaggers domestic restaurant.

Food and Beverage Costs

Food and beverage costs, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, decreased to 32.7% in Q2 2024 compared to 34.5% in Q2 2023 and decreased to 33.3% in 2024 YTD compared to 34.8% in 2023 YTD. The decreases were primarily driven by the benefit of a higher average guest check partially offset by commodity inflation of 0.4% in Q2 2024 and 0.7% in 2024 YTD primarily due to higher beef costs.

In 2024, we expect commodity inflation of approximately 2% for the year with prices locked for approximately 40% of our remaining forecasted costs and the remainder subject to floating market prices.

Restaurant Labor Expenses

Restaurant labor expenses, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, decreased to 32.8% in Q2 2024 compared to 33.6% in Q2 2023 and decreased to 32.7% in 2024 YTD compared to 33.3% in 2023 YTD. The decreases were primarily driven by the benefit of a higher average guest check and labor productivity partially offset by wage and other labor inflation of 4.4% in both Q2 2024 and 2024 YTD. Wage and other labor inflation was driven by higher wage and benefit expense due to labor market pressures along with increases in state-mandated minimum and tipped wage rates and increased investment in our people.

Table of Contents

In 2024, we anticipate our labor costs will continue to be pressured by wage and other labor inflation of 4% to 5%.

Restaurant Rent Expense

Restaurant rent expense, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, was 1.5% for all periods presented. In Q2 2024 and 2024 YTD, higher rent expense at our newer restaurants was offset by the increase in average unit volume.

Restaurant Other Operating Expenses

Restaurant other operating expenses, as a percentage of restaurant and other sales, increased to 14.8% in Q2 2024 compared to 14.7% in Q2 2023 and increased to 14.7% in 2024 YTD compared to 14.5% in 2023 YTD. The increases were driven by an increase in general liability insurance expense of $0.5 million in Q2 2024 as compared to Q2 2023 and an increase of $4.9 million in 2024 YTD as compared to 2023 YTD as well as higher incentive compensation expense in both periods. These increases were partially offset by the increase in average unit volume and lower supplies expense. The increases in general liability insurance expense were due to unfavorable claims experience and an increase in retention levels.

Pre-opening Expenses

Pre-opening expenses were $6.2 million in Q2 2024 compared to $5.7 million in Q2 2023 and $14.3 million in 2024 YTD compared to $11.0 million in 2023 YTD. The increases were primarily driven by an increase in the number and timing of new store openings. Pre-opening costs will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on specific pre-opening costs incurred for each restaurant, the number and timing of restaurant openings, and the number and timing of restaurant managers hired.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense, as a percentage of total revenue, was 3.2% in both Q2 2024 and Q2 2023 and increased to 3.2% in 2024 YTD compared to 3.1% in 2023 YTD. In Q2 2024, higher depreciation expense at our newer restaurants was offset by the increase in average unit volume. The increase in 2024 YTD was driven by higher depreciation expense at our newer restaurants and was partially offset by the increase in average unit volume.

Impairment and Closure Costs, Net

Impairment and closure costs, net were $0.1 million in both Q2 2024 and Q2 2023 and were $0.3 million in 2024 YTD compared to $0.1 million in 2023 YTD. In Q2 2024 and 2024 YTD, impairment and closure costs, net included closure costs related to one restaurant relocation.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenue, decreased to 4.3% in Q2 2024 compared to 4.4% in Q2 2023 and decreased to 4.2% in 2024 YTD compared to 4.3% in 2023 YTD. The decreases were primarily driven by the increase in average unit volume and a favorable legal settlement received in Q2 2024 partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense.

Interest Income, Net

Interest income, net was $1.7 million and $1.0 million in Q2 2024 and Q2 2023, respectively, and was $3.1 million and $2.2 million in 2024 YTD and 2023 YTD, respectively. The increases were driven by increased earnings on our cash and cash equivalents and decreased borrowings on our revolving credit facility.

Equity Income from Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity income was $0.3 million in both Q2 2024 and Q2 2023 and was $0.5 million in 2024 YTD compared to $1.0 million in 2023 YTD. The decrease in 2024 YTD was primarily driven by a $0.6 million gain on the acquisition of four of these affiliates in 2023 YTD.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate was 15.0% in Q2 2024 compared to 12.7% in Q2 2023 and was 14.5% in 2024 YTD compared to 13.3% in 2023 YTD. The increases were primarily due to a decrease in the impact of the FICA tip and work opportunity tax credits, which was driven by increased profitability. For 2024, we expect an effective tax rate of approximately 14.5% based on forecasted operating results.

Segment Information

We manage our restaurant and franchising operations by concept and as a result have identified Texas Roadhouse, Bubba's 33, Jaggers, and our retail initiatives as separate operating segments. Our reportable segments are Texas Roadhouse and Bubba's 33. The Texas Roadhouse reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Texas Roadhouse restaurants and domestic and international franchise Texas Roadhouse restaurants. The Bubba's 33 reportable segment includes the results of our domestic company Bubba's 33 restaurants. Our remaining operating segments, which include the results of our domestic company and franchise Jaggers restaurants and the results of our retail initiatives, are included in Other. In addition, corporate-related segment assets, depreciation and amortization, and capital expenditures are also included in Other.

Management uses restaurant margin as the primary measure for assessing performance of our segments. Restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of restaurant and other sales) represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including food and beverage costs, labor, rent, and other operating costs. Restaurant margin also includes sales and operating costs related to our non-royalty based retail initiatives that are included in Other. Restaurant margin is used by our CODM to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the Results of Operations section above.

The following table presents a summary of restaurant margin by segment (in thousands):

Other		2,554	16.7			1,172	9.9
Total	$	471,058	17.8	%	$	368,452	15.8	%

In our Texas Roadhouse reportable segment, restaurant margin dollars increased $56.4 million or 32.7% in Q2 2024 and increased $94.6 million or 27.1% in 2024 YTD. The increases were primarily due to higher sales partially offset by wage and other labor inflation as well as higher general liability insurance expense in the 2024 YTD period.

In our Bubba’s 33 reportable segment, restaurant margin dollars increased $2.9 million or 30.4% in Q2 2024 and increased $6.6 million or 36.7% in 2024 YTD. The increases were primarily due to higher sales partially offset by wage and other labor inflation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table presents a summary of our net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities (in thousands):


	26 Weeks Ended
	June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	377,347	$	288,233
Net cash used in investing activities		(146,155)		(186,004)
Net cash used in financing activities		(137,984)		(168,766)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	93,208	$	(66,537)

Net cash provided by operating activities was $377.3 million in 2024 YTD compared to $288.2 million in 2023 YTD. This increase was primarily due to an increase in net income and a favorable change in working capital.

Our operations have not required significant working capital and, like many restaurant companies, we have been able to operate with negative working capital, if necessary. Sales are primarily for cash, and restaurant operations do not require significant inventories or receivables. In addition, we receive trade credit for the purchase of food, beverages, and supplies, thereby reducing the need for incremental working capital to support growth.

Net cash used in investing activities was $146.2 million in 2024 YTD compared to $186.0 million in 2023 YTD. The decrease was primarily due to the acquisition of eight domestic franchise restaurants for $39.1 million in Q1 2023.

We require capital principally for the development of new company restaurants, the refurbishment or relocation of existing restaurants and the acquisition of franchise restaurants, as applicable. We either lease our restaurant site locations under operating leases for periods of five to 30 years (including renewal periods) or purchase the land when appropriate. As of June 25, 2024, we had developed 153 of the 650 company restaurants on land that we own.

The following table presents a summary of capital expenditures (in thousands):


		26 Weeks Ended
	June 25, 2024		June 27, 2023
New company restaurants	$	91,629	$	90,431
Refurbishment or expansion of existing restaurants		54,372		52,722
Relocation of existing restaurants		6,050		7,923
Capital expenditures related to Support Center office		3,427		3,504
Total capital expenditures	$	155,478	$	154,580

Our future capital requirements will primarily depend on the number and mix of new restaurants we open, the timing of those openings, and the restaurant prototype developed in a given fiscal year. These requirements will include costs directly related to opening, maintaining, or relocating restaurants and may also include costs necessary to ensure that our infrastructure is able to support a larger restaurant base.

We intend to satisfy our capital requirements over the next 12 months with cash on hand, net cash provided by operating activities and, if needed, funds available under our revolving credit facility. In 2024, we expect capital expenditures of $360 million to $370 million.

Net cash used in financing activities was $138.0 million in 2024 YTD compared to $168.8 million in 2023 YTD. The decrease is primarily due to the $50 million repayment of our revolving credit facility in 2023 YTD partially offset by an increase in our quarterly dividend payment.

On February 14, 2024, our Board authorized the payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.61 per share of common stock compared to the quarterly dividend of $0.55 per share of common stock declared in 2023. The payment of quarterly dividends totaled $81.5 million and $73.7 million in 2024 YTD and 2023 YTD, respectively.

Table of Contents

On March 17, 2022, our Board approved a stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock. This stock repurchase program has no expiration date. All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase programs have been made through open market transactions.

During 2024 YTD and 2023 YTD, we paid $35.1 million and $33.1 million, respectively, to repurchase 222,666 shares and 306,726 shares, respectively, of our common stock. As of June 25, 2024, $81.7 million remained under our authorized stock repurchase program.

We maintain a credit facility with a syndicate of commercial lenders led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and PNC Bank, N.A. The credit facility is an unsecured, revolving credit agreement and has a borrowing capacity of up to $300.0 million with the option to increase by an additional $200.0 million subject to certain limitations, including approval by the syndicate of commercial lenders. The credit facility has a maturity date of May 1, 2026.

As of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023, we had no outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and had $295.3 million of availability, net of $4.7 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively.

The interest rate for the credit facility as of June 25, 2024 and June 27, 2023 was 6.21% and 6.07%, respectively.

Guarantees

As of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023, we were contingently liable for $9.9 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for seven lease guarantees. These amounts represent the maximum potential liability of future payments under the guarantees. In the event of default, the indemnity and default clauses in our assignment agreements govern our ability to pursue and recover damages incurred. No material liabilities have been recorded as of June 25, 2024 and December 26, 2023 as the likelihood of default was deemed to be less than probable and the fair value of the guarantees is not considered significant.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates on variable rate debt and changes in commodity prices. Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited to our outstanding bank debt. The terms of the credit facility require us to pay interest on outstanding borrowings at SOFR, plus a fixed adjustment of 0.10%, plus a variable adjustment of 0.875% to 1.875% depending on our consolidated leverage ratio. As of June 25, 2024, we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

In an effort to secure high quality, low-cost ingredients used in the products sold in our restaurants, we employ various purchasing and pricing contract techniques. When purchasing certain types of commodities, we may be subject to prevailing market conditions resulting in unpredictable price volatility. For certain commodities, we may also enter into contracts for terms of one year or less that are either fixed price agreements or fixed volume agreements where the price is negotiated with reference to fluctuating market prices. We currently do not use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices, but we will continue to evaluate their effectiveness. Extreme and/or long-term increases in commodity prices could adversely affect our future results, especially if we are unable, primarily due to competitive reasons, to increase menu prices. Additionally, if there is a time lag between the increasing commodity prices and our ability to increase menu prices or if we believe the commodity price increase to be short in duration and we choose not to pass on the cost increases, our short-term financial results could be negatively affected.

We are subject to business risk as our beef supply is highly dependent upon four vendors. If these vendors are unable to fulfill their obligations under their contracts, we may encounter supply shortages and/or higher costs to secure adequate supply and a possible loss of sales, any of which would harm our business.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to, and as defined in, Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the "CEO") and the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO"), our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 25, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control

During the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024, the Company implemented a new human capital management system. This implementation resulted in changes to certain processes and procedures that affected the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management will continue to evaluate and monitor these changes and assess the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of our fiscal year.

Except for the changes noted above, there were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Occasionally, we are a defendant in litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including "slip and fall" accidents, employment related claims, claims related to our service of alcohol, and claims from guests or employees alleging illness, injury or food quality, health or operational concerns. None of these types of litigation, most of which are covered by insurance at varying retention levels, has had a material adverse effect on us during the periods covered by this report and, as of the date of this report, we are not party to any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Information regarding risk factors appears in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2023, under the heading "Special Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements" and in the Form 10-K Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors. There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2023.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In 2008, our Board approved our first stock repurchase program. From inception through June 25, 2024, we have paid $718.6 million through our authorized stock repurchase programs to repurchase 21,719,134 shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $33.09. On March 17, 2022, our Board approved a stock repurchase program which authorized us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our common stock. This stock repurchase program has no expiration date. All repurchases to date under our stock repurchase programs have been made through open market transactions. The timing and the amount of any repurchases through this program will be determined by management under parameters established by the Board, based on an evaluation of our stock price, market conditions and other corporate considerations, including complying with Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements under the Exchange Act.

For the 13 weeks ended June 25, 2024, we paid $26.2 million to repurchase 162,404 shares of our common stock. As of June 25, 2024, $81.7 million remained authorized for stock repurchases.
