“While Red Robin's overall results during the second quarter fell short of our expectations, we anticipate that our relative performance will improve by the fourth quarter of this year and we will regain market share,” said Steve Carley, Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. chief executive officer. “Given the challenges facing our industry, we are addressing immediate opportunities by focusing on things we can control. These include increasing speed of service, accentuating everyday value, and fostering more ‘top of mind’ awareness through local marketing initiatives and a new media campaign that will launch in the fourth quarter with incremental spending in select, high penetration markets. We will also remain disciplined in allocating capital, investing in initiatives to improve performance and open new restaurants while returning excess cash to shareholders via stock repurchases.”
Operating Results
Total Company revenues, which primarily include Company-owned restaurant revenue and franchise royalties, increased 4.3% to $305.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $293.0 million in the second quarter of 2015. Restaurant revenues increased $23.7 million due to new restaurant openings and acquired restaurants, partially offset by a $9.5 million, or 3.4%, decrease in comparable restaurant revenue, which included a $0.5 million, or 0.2%, unfavorable foreign exchange impact, and $0.8 million from closed restaurants. Franchise and other revenue decreased $0.8 million, primarily driven by a decrease the number of franchisees from the same period a year ago.
System-wide restaurant revenue (including franchised units) for the second quarter of 2016 totaled $366.0 million, compared to $363.2 million for the second quarter in 2015.
Using constant currency rates, comparable revenue decreased 3.2% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by a 3.9% decrease in guest counts, which was partially offset by a 0.7% increase in average guest check. Comparable restaurants are those Company-owned restaurants that have operated five full quarters during the period presented, and such restaurants are only included in the comparable metrics if they are comparable for the entirety of both periods presented.
Restaurant-level operating profit margin (a non-GAAP financial measure) was 20.9% in the second quarter of 2016 compared to 22.5% in the same period a year ago. The 160 basis point margin decrease in the second quarter of 2016 resulted from a 160 basis point increase in labor costs, a 110 basis point increase in other restaurant operating expenses, and a 30 basis point increase in occupancy costs, partially offset by a 140 basis point decrease in cost of sales. Schedule II of this earnings release defines restaurant-level operating profit, discusses why it is a useful metric for investors, and reconciles this metric to income from operations and net income.

Other Results
Depreciation and amortization costs increased to $19.2 million in the second quarter of 2016 from $17.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. The increased depreciation was primarily related to new restaurants opened and acquired since the second quarter 2015 and restaurants remodeled under the Brand Transformation Initiative.
General and administrative costs were $20.0 million, or 6.5% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $23.0 million, or 7.9% of total revenues in the same period a year ago. The decrease of $3.0 million resulted primarily from decreased incentive compensation and professional services.
Selling expenses were $11.0 million, or 3.6% of total revenues, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $11.1 million, or 3.8%, of total revenues during the same period in the prior year.
Pre-opening costs were $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared to $1.4 million in the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to timing of restaurant openings.
The Company had an effective tax rate of 15.4% in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, compared to a 28.3% effective tax rate in the same period a year ago.
Restaurant Development and Acquisitions
As of the end of the second quarter of 2016, there were 449 Company-owned Red Robin® restaurants, 11 Red Robin Burger Works®, and 86 franchised Red Robin restaurants, for a total of 546 restaurants. During the second quarter, the Company opened seven Red Robin restaurants and relocated one Red Robin restaurant.
Under the Brand Transformation Initiative, the Company completed 30 restaurant remodels during the second quarter 2016. The Company has over 390 restaurants conforming to its new brand standards, including new restaurant openings, and will substantially complete the remodeling of Company-owned restaurants by the end of 2016.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
On June 30, 2016, the Company replaced its existing credit facility with a new Credit Agreement that provides a $400 million revolving line of credit.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company purchased 388,913 shares of the Company’s common stock for $20.0 million. As of July 10, 2016, there was approximately $80.0 million remaining under the current board authorization for stock repurchases.
As of July 10, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25.9 million and total debt of $305.1 million, including $11.7 million of capital lease liabilities. The Company funded the share repurchases, restaurant remodels, construction of new restaurants, and other capital expenditures with cash flow from operations and incremental borrowings of $39.0 million on its credit facility during the second quarter 2016. As of July 10, 2016, the Company had outstanding borrowings under its credit facility of $292.5 million, in addition to amounts issued under letters of credit of $8.5 million, which reduce the amount available under its credit facility but were not recorded as debt.
Outlook for 2016
Red Robin’s 2016 fiscal year consists of 52 weeks, which will end on December 25, 2016 (“2016”).
The Company expects total revenues to grow around 5.0% in 2016, driven by increased operating weeks associated with locations opened and acquired in 2015 and 2016, partially offset by lower comparable restaurant revenue of almost 2.0%. The Company plans to open approximately 24 new Red Robins and three Burger Works in 2016.
Restaurant-level operating profit margin in fiscal year 2016 is expected to be around 21.0%.
General and administrative costs are expected to be between $94 million and $96 million, while selling expenses are expected to be approximately 3.2% of total revenues. Pre-opening and acquisition costs are expected to total near $8.5 million in fiscal year 2016.
Depreciation and amortization is projected to be between $83 million and $85 million.
Interest expense is expected to be approximately $7 million, while the income tax rate in fiscal year 2016 is expected to be between 20.0% and 21.0%.
Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) is expected to range between $145 million and $150 million in 2016. EBITDA is a non-GAAP number and defined in Schedule III.
The Company expects capital investments between $190 million and $195 million, which includes the 13 restaurants acquired in the first quarter. In addition to new restaurant openings, the Company expects to remodel around 70 locations as part of its Brand Transformation Initiative, with 62 locations completed as of the end of the second quarter.
The sensitivity of the Company’s earnings per diluted share to a 1% change in guest counts for fiscal year 2016 is estimated to be $0.40 on an annualized basis. Additionally, a 10 basis point change in restaurant-level operating profit margin is expected to impact earnings per diluted share by approximately $0.10, and a change of approximately $135,000 in pre-tax income or expense is equivalent to approximately $0.01 per diluted share.

Schedule I
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
(In thousands, except per share data)
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this press release, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present the 12 and 28 weeks ended July 10, 2016 and July 12, 2015, net income and basic and diluted earnings per share, excluding the effects of litigation contingencies, asset impairment charges, and a change in accounting estimate for gift card breakage. The Company believes that the presentation of net income and earnings per share exclusive of the identified item gives the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company. This supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein. Income tax expense related to the change in accounting estimate was calculated based on the change in the total tax provision calculation after adjusting for the identified item. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.

Schedule II
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Income
from Operations and Net Income
(In thousands)
The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant impairment and closure costs. The measure includes restaurant- level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant buildings and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general, and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company’s investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the 12 and 28 weeks ended July 10, 2016 and July 12, 2015, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue.

Excluding depreciation and amortization which is shown separately |
Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that components of restaurant-level operating profit are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue and not total revenues.
We have not provided a reconciliation of our restaurant-level operating profit outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income. Providing net income guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliation restaurant-level operating profit to income from operations and net income for the historical periods presented above are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.
Schedule III
Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(In thousands, unaudited)
The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and non-cash stock based compensation. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because the Company believes that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations without the effect of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses and asset disposals, stock-based compensation, and asset impairment charges. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in our industry or otherwise. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect the additions and eliminations shown in the table below. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. We have not provided a reconciliation of our adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of net income. Providing net income guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in net income, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to net income for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.
