Second Quarter 2017 Review

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2017 was $25.3 million, down 8.8% from the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in Company-owned net restaurant sales revenue was primarily driven by a  comparable sales decline of 2.2% and the net closure of five restaurants since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016.  The declines in franchise royalty and fee revenue were driven by a  comparable sales decline of 3.2% and the net closure of seven franchise restaurants since the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2016, partially offset by franchise fee revenue earned in the second quarter of 2017 related to one franchise-operated restaurant that opened in the second quarter.

 

Restaurant-level operating margin for Company-owned restaurants was 8.2%, a decrease from 9.5% in the second quarter of 2016. The decline was primarily driven by sales deleverage on fixed labor and operating costs, partially offset by lower food and beverage costs.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased to $3.5 million from $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2016. The year over year decline was primarily a result of the continued optimization of our general and administrative structure to be commensurate with that of a dedicated franchisor, a decline in professional fees and reduced costs incurred for franchise-related matters.

 

Net (loss) income from continuing operations was a loss of $1.3 million, or ($0.18) per share, compared to income of $113,000, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2016.  In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded $3.5 million of asset impairment, estimated lease termination and other closing costs primarily related to our restaurant optimization plan, including seven impaired and three closed Company-owned restaurants.

 

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, decreased to $1.1 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.19 per share, in the second quarter of 2016.  A reconciliation between adjusted net income and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables.

 

Refranchising and Restaurant Optimization Plan

 

On May 2, 2017, the Company announced its plans to accelerate the refranchising and optimization of its Company-owned restaurants over the next 12 to 24 months. This will permit the Company to shift its resources and energy to the growth and support of its franchise system, which are paramount to the Company’s success. The Company closed three underperforming restaurants during the quarter and an additional three restaurants subsequent to the end of the quarter. As noted above, the Company recognized impairment charges during the quarter related to seven restaurants that the Company believes will be closed in connection with this plan.

 

Executive Comments

 

Mike Lister, CEO, commented,  “While there is clearly still more work to do, I am proud of the progress that we made in the second quarter of 2017. We continue to execute on our refranchising and restaurant optimization plan as well as address our general and administrative expense structure. As a management team, we are committed to this strategic path that allows us to focus our energy on helping our franchisees run their businesses.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP measures including those indicated below. These non-GAAP measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations. By providing non-GAAP measures, together with a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, the Company believes that it is enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and results of operations. These measures are not intended to be considered in isolation of, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures presented may be different from the measures used by other companies. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, included in the accompanying financial tables.

 

Adjusted net (loss) income from continuing operations is net (loss) income from continuing operations, plus items such as asset impairment, estimated lease termination and other closing costs, net (loss) gain  on disposal of equipment, settlement agreements, stock-based compensation, severance, and the related tax impact. This number is divided by the weighted-average number of basic shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented to arrive at adjusted net (loss) income from continuing operations, per share. Adjusted EBITDA is net (loss) income from continuing operations, plus items such as asset impairment, estimated lease termination and other closing costs, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, net (loss) gain on disposal of equipment, settlement agreements, stock-based compensation, and severance.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Statements in this press release that are not strictly historical, including but not limited to statements regarding the timing of the Company’s restaurant openings and the timing or success of refranchising plans, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, which may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from expected results. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectation will be attained. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Famous Dave’s expectation include financial performance, restaurant industry conditions, execution of restaurant development and construction programs, franchisee performance, changes in local or national economic conditions, availability of financing, governmental approvals and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s SEC reports.
