- 2017 Earnings Per Diluted Share Outlook of $5.60 to $6.00 -

Minneapolis, Minnesota, February 7, 2017 – Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWLD) announced today financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 25, 2016.

◦	Company-owned restaurant sales increased 0.9% to $470.5 million


◦	Same-store sales decreased 4.0% at company-owned restaurants and 3.9% at franchised restaurants


◦	Net earnings decreased 38.2% to $15.6 million from $25.3 million, and earnings per diluted share decreased 34.1% to $0.87 from $1.32

Key metrics for the full year 2016, versus 2015, were:

◦	Same-store sales decreased 2.4% at company-owned restaurants and 2.7% at franchised restaurants

Sally Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The challenging restaurant environment continued in the fourth quarter and culminated with a difficult December. Our key programs to drive traffic at Buffalo Wild Wings, including FastBreak™ Lunch, Half-Price Wing Tuesdays^®, and our Blazin' Rewards^® loyalty program, have driven positive traffic so far in the first quarter."

Ms. Smith concluded, "Our focus for the year is to gain momentum on sales, improve our cost structure, grow internationally, optimize our domestic restaurant portfolio, and lower our cost of capital. The Buffalo Wild Wings brand remains differentiated, healthy, and strong and with operating income growing throughout the year. In 2017, we anticipate earnings per diluted share in the range of $5.60 to $6.00. We also recently announced an expanded share repurchase program with an accelerated timeline to achieve our target of 1.5x net debt to EBITDA by year-end."

Revenue


•	Total revenue increased 0.8% to $494.2 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $490.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Full year total revenue increased 9.6% to $2.0 billion compared to $1.8 billion last year.


•	Company-owned restaurant sales for the fourth quarter increased 0.9% over the same period in 2015, to $470.5 million.


•	Franchise royalties and fees decreased 0.4% on lower revenues to $23.7 million for the quarter, versus $23.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2015.


•	Average weekly sales for company-owned Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants were $59,120 for the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $61,971 for the same quarter last year, a 4.6% decrease due to same-store sales declines and more smaller-store openings.


•	Franchised Buffalo Wild Wings locations in the United States averaged $61,397 for the period versus $64,032 in the fourth quarter a year ago, a 4.1% decrease.

Restaurant-level costs and expenses


•	Cost of sales for the fourth quarter was 31.1% of restaurant sales compared to 29.5% in the fourth quarter last year, driven by higher traditional wing costs.


◦	Traditional wings were $1.99 per pound in the fourth quarter, $0.18, 9.9%, higher than last year's fourth quarter average of $1.81.


•	Cost of labor for the fourth quarter was 31.8% of restaurant sales, 90 basis points higher than fourth quarter last year, resulting from sales deleverage, partially offset by lower Guest Experience Captain hours.


•	Restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of restaurant sales were 15.7%, an increase of 30 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2015, primarily driven by higher insurance and repair and maintenance expenses.


•	Occupancy costs were 5.9% as a percentage of restaurant sales, 30 basis points higher compared to the same quarter last year.


•	Restaurant-level profit was $73.2 million, or 15.6%, of restaurant sales, compared to $86.7 million, or 18.6%, in the fourth quarter last year. Full year restaurant level profit was $333.9 million, or 17.7%, 90 basis points lower than the prior year's $319.0 million or 18.6% due largely to sales deleverage and higher cost of goods and labor.

Other Expenses


•	Depreciation and amortization expense for the fourth quarter was $38.3 million, increasing 4.6%, due to new unit openings.


•	General and administrative expenses were $29.4 million in the fourth quarter, decreasing 5.9% from the same period last year, due to lower compensation expense.


•	Stock-based compensation was ($2.1) million in the fourth quarter compared to $2.0 million of expense in the prior year period.


•	Preopening expenses for the quarter totaled $3.5 million, versus $4.9 million in the fourth quarter last year, due to smaller openings as well as reduced lease expense.


•	Loss on asset disposal for the fourth quarter totaled $3.9 million compared to last year of $3.3 million.


•	Interest expense was $1.6 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $0.8 million in the prior year period. The increase is a result of higher borrowing on the line of credit.


•	Other expense (income) was $(1.3) million for the quarter compared to $73,000 of expense in 2015, due to the recognition of a gain from contingent consideration.


•	The effective tax rate during the quarter was 27.9%, compared to 24.7% in the prior year.

Earnings


•	Operating income was $21.8 million in the fourth quarter, or 4.4% of total revenue, compared to $34.5 million and 7.0% in the prior year. For the year, operating income was $136.7 million, or 6.9% of total revenue, compared to $138.5 million and 7.6%.


•	Net earnings decreased 38.2% to $15.6 million in the fourth quarter, versus $25.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full year, net earnings decreased 0.3% to $94.7 million, versus $95.1 million in 2015.


•	Earnings per diluted share were $0.87, compared to fourth quarter 2015 earnings per diluted share of $1.32. Earnings per diluted share increased 3.0% to $5.12 in 2016, compared to $4.97 in 2015, driven by the $232.7 million of share repurchases in fiscal 2016.

Balance Sheet


•	Cash totaled $49.3 million at the end of 2016.


•	The credit facility had an outstanding balance of $170.0 million as of the end of the year.

•	Free cash flow in the fourth quarter was $44.8 million, compared to $22.1 million in the prior year. Free cash flow in 2016 was $140.9 million, compared to $64.7 million in the prior year.

Restaurant-Level Profit and Restaurant-Level Margin

Restaurant-level profit and restaurant-level margin are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are non-GAAP financial measures. Restaurant-level profit is defined restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs (cost of sales, labor, operating, and occupancy expense). Restaurant-level margin is defined as restaurant-level profit as a percentage of restaurant sales. Restaurant-level profit and restaurant-level margin have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be evaluated in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes the restaurant-level profit and restaurant-level 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-level profit and restaurant-level margin as key performance indicators to evaluate the profitability of company-owned restaurants.

A reconciliation of restaurant sales to restaurant-level margin is provided below:

EBITDA

EBITDA is not required by, nor presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines EBITDA as net earnings including non-controlling interests plus interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be evaluated in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations, without the effects of interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization.
