Financial Highlights for Second Fiscal Quarter 2016

  • System-wide comparable restaurant sales increased 0.2% and company-operated comparable restaurant sales increased 0.9%;
  • Total revenues increased 9.2% to $131.6 million from $120.5 million;
  • 18 system-wide restaurants were opened – seven company-operated restaurants and 11 franchised restaurants;

  • Diluted Net Income per Share increased 58.8% to $0.27 from $0.17;
  • Adjusted Net Income* increased 17.3% to $10.1 million from $8.6 million;
  • Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share* increased 17.4% to $0.27 from $0.23; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA* increased 12.9% to $23.2 million from $20.5 million.

* Descriptions of Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures are provided in “Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures,” and reconciliations to GAAP figures are provided in the tables at the end of this release.

“Bojangles’ extended its track record of system-wide comparable restaurant sales growth to 25 consecutive quarters with a 0.2% increase during the second fiscal quarter 2016, which on a two- and three-year stacked basis, reflected growth of 4.6% and 8.8%, respectively.  The performance of company-operated restaurants during the second fiscal quarter 2016 was even stronger, as we experienced a 0.9% increase in comparable restaurant sales, including 0.5% growth in comparable store transactions,” said Bojangles’ President and CEO Clifton Rutledge.  

“Creating the best experience possible at all Bojangles’® restaurants goes beyond providing our customers with freshly-made food that is distinct and affordable; we must also drive toward operational excellence through strategic investments in our brand.  These include our ‘Kitchen of the Future’ and ultimately ‘Bojangles’ of the Future’ projects, as well as by adding labor in the appropriate situations and locations to better differentiate ourselves in today’s competitive marketplace.  Ramping up our Bo-Size and Star Service efforts by expanding table service, among other labor initiatives, will ensure our restaurant hospitality levels match the high quality of our food,” he continued.

“We are using a measured approach to develop Bojangles’ in the right way for long-term sustainable growth.  This year we expect to open 60 to 65 system-wide restaurants and expand our net unit count by approximately 8%.  More and more communities across the southeast from our core North and South Carolina markets to our growing adjacent states are enjoying the unique flavors and value of Bojangles’, and we look forward to reaching more consumers so that they too can enjoy our one-of-a-kind hospitality and southern-inspired favorites,” he concluded.

Second Fiscal Quarter 2016 Financial Review
System-wide comparable restaurant sales increased 0.2%, consisting of company-operated and franchised comparable restaurant sales of 0.9% and (0.2)%, respectively.  Comparable restaurant sales growth at company-operated restaurants was due to increases in price and transactions.

Total revenues increased 9.2% to $131.6 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from $120.5 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.  The increase was primarily due to a net additional 43 system-wide restaurants at June 26, 2016 compared to June 28, 2015 and comparable restaurant sales growth at our company-operated restaurants.

Company restaurant revenues increased 9.3% to $124.7 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from $114.0 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.  Franchise royalty revenues increased 4.0% to $6.6 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from $6.4 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Restaurant contribution, a non-GAAP measure, increased 12.3% to $24.5 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from $21.8 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.  As a percentage of company restaurant revenues, restaurant contribution margin, a non-GAAP measure, increased to 19.7% in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from 19.1% in the prior year fiscal quarter.

General and administrative expenses decreased 19.8% to $9.4 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from $11.7 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.  The decline was primarily due to amounts incurred in the second fiscal quarter of 2015 related to public offering expenses, stock-based compensation for vesting of performance awards and meeting expenses tied to our bi-annual franchise convention and unit director leadership conference, partially offset by headcount added to support a growing restaurant system and additional costs as a result of operating as a public company.

Net Income increased 58.4% to $10.0 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 compared to $6.3 million in the prior year fiscal quarter. Diluted Net Income per Share increased 58.8% to $0.27 in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 compared to $0.17 in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 12.9% to $23.2 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 from $20.5 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.  

Adjusted Net Income increased 17.3% to $10.1 million in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 compared to $8.6 million in the prior year fiscal quarter.  Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share increased 17.4% to $0.27 in the second fiscal quarter of 2016 compared to $0.23 in the prior year fiscal quarter.

Fiscal Year 2016 Guidance
Bojangles’ has updated certain parameters of its annual outlook for the 52-week period ending on December 25, 2016:

  • Total revenues of $530.0 million to $533.0 million (previously $535.0 million to $543.0 million);
  • System-wide comparable restaurant sales growth of flat to low-single digits (previously low single-digits);
  • The opening of 60 to 65 system-wide restaurants;
    • 28 to 29 company-operated restaurants;
    • 32 to 36 franchised restaurants;
  • Net increase of 53 to 58 system-wide restaurants;
    • 26 to 27 net increase of company-operated restaurants;
    • 27 to 31 net increase of franchised restaurants;
  • Restaurant contribution margin of 17.7% to 18.1%
  • General and administrative expenses of $39.0 million to $39.5 million (previously $40.0 million to $41.5 million);
  • Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share of $0.88 to $0.92 (previously $0.89 to $0.93); and
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $83.5 million to $85.5 million (previously $84.5 million to $86.5 million).

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share or Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measures because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures are not available without unreasonable effort.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Measures
We utilize certain non-GAAP measures when assessing the operational strength and the performance of our business.  We believe these non-GAAP measures assist our board of directors, management and investors in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary significantly among similar companies. Bojangles’ cautions that non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, reported GAAP results.  

Comparable restaurant sales reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable restaurant base (as applicable, system-wide, franchised or company-operated restaurants).  A restaurant enters our comparable restaurant base the first full day of the month after being open for 15 months using a mid-month convention.

Restaurant contribution is defined as company restaurant revenues less food and supplies costs, restaurant labor costs and operating costs, as identified by the reconciliation table below.  Restaurant contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a percentage of company restaurant revenues.  Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating performance of our company-operated restaurants and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies.  Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. 

Adjusted Net Income represents company net income before items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as an estimate of recurring incremental legal, accounting, insurance and other operating and compliance costs we expect to incur as a public company for those periods where they had not yet been incurred, both as identified in the reconciliation table below.  Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share represents company diluted net income per share before items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance, as well as an estimate of recurring incremental legal, accounting, insurance and other operating and compliance costs we expect to incur as a public company for those periods where they had not yet been incurred, both as identified in the reconciliation table below.

EBITDA represents company net income before interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents company net income before interest expense (net of interest income), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, items that we do not consider representative of our ongoing operating performance and certain non-cash items, as identified in the reconciliation table below.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of our performance that are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP.  Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.  In addition, in evaluating Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we will incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Net Income per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA.
