Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. Reports Fiscal First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

System-Wide Comparable Restaurant Sales Increased 9.1% Compared to the Prior-Year Fiscal Quarter

Signs Two Franchise Development Agreements in the Southeast for 18 New Restaurants

Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (“Del Taco” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: TACO), the second largest Mexican-American quick service restaurant chain by units in the United States, today reported fiscal first quarter 2021 financial results for the 12-week period ending March 23, 2021 and provided a business update.

Management Commentary

John D. Cappasola, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Del Taco, commented, “We are pleased to have delivered a very strong first quarter that sets us up for a great year at Del Taco. Although the operating environment remains very difficult due to continued COVID related impacts and very challenging labor availability, our team is doing an outstanding job growing sales by serving guests through our drive-thru, take-out, and delivery channels while managing costs effectively. This resulted in significant first quarter restaurant contribution and adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion.”

Cappasola continued, “Our marketing strategy is centered on innovation and value while accentuating the convenience we offer guests through our drive-thru, take-out, and delivery channels. In the first quarter, we launched Honey Mango Crispy Chicken followed by our seasonal Lent promotion that featured Crispy Jumbo Shrimp. In the second quarter, we have since introduced a new Honey Chipotle BBQ Crispy Chicken and re-launched our Crunchtada platform with a $1, $2 and $3 line up.”

Cappasola concluded, “On the development front, we opened five system-wide Del Taco restaurants during the first quarter and plan to open a dozen system-wide restaurants this year. We are encouraged by the recent signing of two new development agreements totaling 18 restaurants in the Southeast with two experienced multi-concept QSR franchise groups. One agreement includes commitments in South Carolina and Georgia, and the other agreement includes a commitment for Florida’s west coast. We view these signings and other active discussions as indicative of our brand relevance across a broad geographic footprint as we aim to accelerate franchise growth.”

Review of Fiscal First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Total revenue increased 5.2% to $115.5 million compared to $109.8 million in the fiscal first quarter 2020. Comparable restaurant sales increased 9.1% system-wide, increased 4.9% at company-operated restaurants, and increased 14.0% at franchised restaurants.

Net income was $2.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $102.5 million, or $2.76 per diluted share, last year.

Adjusted net income*, which excludes various items, was $2.5 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net loss* of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, last year.

Restaurant contribution* grew 30.6% to $16.6 million compared to $12.7 million in the fiscal first quarter 2020. As a percentage of company-operated restaurant sales, restaurant contribution margin increased 330 basis points year-over-year to 16.0%. The increase was the result of an approximate 250 basis point decrease in food and paper costs, an approximate 50 basis point decrease in labor and related expenses, and an approximate 30 basis point decrease in occupancy and other operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA* grew 33.4% to $11.6 million compared to $8.7 million in the fiscal first quarter 2020.

Liquidity

As of March 23, 2021, the Company’s debt, net of cash, totaled $107.3 million compared to $106.7 million at the end of fiscal year 2020. At the end of the fiscal first quarter 2021 the Company had $121.6 million of remaining availability under its revolving credit facility.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 106,049 shares of common stock at an average price of $8.92 per share for a total of $0.9 million during the fiscal first quarter 2021. At the end of the fiscal first quarter approximately $17.1 million remains under the $75 million repurchase authorization.

Dividend Program Announcement

The Board of Directors has authorized a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share of common stock payable on May 27, 2021 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2021. While the Company intends to pay quarterly cash dividends for the foreseeable future, all subsequent dividend payments will be reviewed quarterly and declared by the Board of Directors at its discretion.

Restaurant Portfolio and New Development Agreements

During the fiscal first quarter 2021, two company-operated restaurants and three franchised restaurants opened, and two franchised restaurants closed.

The Company recently signed two new development agreements totaling 18 restaurants in the Southeast with two experienced multi-concept QSR franchise groups.

The other agreement includes a commitment for seven restaurants in the Sarasota/Bradenton region on Florida’s west coast.

Reiterated Fiscal Year 2021 Guidelines

Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and its impact on the business, the Company is not able to provide a full outlook with respect to the 2021 fiscal year. However, the Company is able to reiterate the following guidelines for fiscal 2021 issued on March 8, 2021:

  • Commodity inflation of approximately 1%, excluding any adverse impacts from COVID-19 on the supply chain;
  • Labor and related inflation of approximately 6%;
  • Menu price increase of approximately 4%;
  • Modest restaurant contribution margin* expansion compared to the 16.1% achieved during fiscal 2020;
  • General and administrative expenses, inclusive of stock-based compensation, at approximately 9.0% of total revenue;
  • Effective tax rate of approximately 27%;
  • Capital expenditures in the low $30 million range, including expenditures to maintain or enhance existing restaurants, company-operated restaurant openings, the test remodel program, and various discretionary technology and restaurant level investments;

Key Financial Definitions

Comparable restaurant sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable company, franchise and total system restaurant base. Restaurants are included in the comparable store base in the accounting period following its 18th full month of operations and excludes restaurant closures.

Restaurant contribution* is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating expenses, which are food and paper costs, labor and related expenses and occupancy and other operating expenses. Restaurant contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a percentage of company restaurant sales. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating performance of restaurants and the calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. Management believes that restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are important tools for investors because they are widely-used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency and performance. Management uses restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin as key performance indicators to evaluate the profitability of incremental sales at Del Taco restaurants, to evaluate restaurant performance across periods and to evaluate restaurant financial performance compared with competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA* is defined as net income/loss prior to interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges, such as stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net; impairment of goodwill; impairment of trademarks; impairment of long-lived assets; restaurant closure charges, net; amortization of favorable and unfavorable lease assets and liabilities, net; pre-opening costs; sublease income for closed restaurants; executive transition costs; and other income; as these expenses are not considered an indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income/loss as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons 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 widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present Adjusted EBITDA because (i) we believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and (ii) we use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark to compare performance to that of competitors.

Adjusted net income* represents company net income before sublease income for closed restaurants; impairment of goodwill; impairment of trademarks; impairment of long-lived assets; restaurant closure charges, net; (gain) loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net; other income; executive transition costs; net of tax. Adjusted diluted net income per share* represents company diluted net income per share before sublease income for closed restaurants; impairment of goodwill; impairment of trademarks; impairment of long-lived assets; restaurant closure charges, net; (gain) loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net; other income; executive transition costs; and tax impact of adjustments, net of tax.
