Second Quarter 2018 Review

 

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2018 was $14.5 million, down 23.7% from the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in Company-owned net restaurant sales revenue was primarily a result of the closure of nine Company-owned restaurants. The impact of these closures was partially offset by a 1.2% increase in same-store sales.  The declines in franchise royalty and fee revenue were driven by a decline in franchise-operated same store sales of 1.9% and royalty abatements agreed upon to facilitate the transfer of certain of our franchise-operated restaurants to new operators, who have committed to investing necessary resources to refresh these transferred stores. Additionally, the adoption of ASC 606 – Revenue From Contracts with Customers resulted in approximately $585,000 of additional revenue during the second quarter of 2018.

 

Restaurant-level operating margin, as a percentage of restaurant sales, net, for Company-owned restaurants was 6.0%, flat to the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased to $2.1 million from $3.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. The year over year decline was primarily a result of the alignment of our general and administrative expense structure to be commensurate with that of a more dedicated franchisor, lowering overhead strategically as we reduced our Company-owned restaurant count from 32 restaurants as of July 2, 2017 to 15 restaurants as of July 1, 2018.

 

We recognized net income from continuing operations of approximately $1.4 million, or $0.16 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1.6 million, or ($0.24) per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.  We recognized a net income from discontinued operations of $379,000, or $0.05 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017.

 

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was approximately $1.7 million, or $0.19 per share, compared to approximately $796,000, or $0.11 per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. A reconciliation between adjusted net loss and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables.

 

Executive Comments

 

Jeff Crivello, CEO, commented,  “We look forward to implementing throughout the system many of the improvements from the successful refresh of our Coon Rapids restaurant. We increased Company-owned same store sales by 1.2%, despite losing 1.0% in sales due to weather-related closures in April in the Minneapolis market. Although catering sales continued to be a challenge, we launched several initiatives during the quarter aimed at growing this line of business.  We look forward to opening the first Clark Crew BBQ in Oklahoma City, and finalizing the design of our new drive through concept.”

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.
