Good Times Restaurants Reports Results for the Fiscal Third Quarter Ended June 28, 2022

Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM), operator of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended June 28, 2022.

Key highlights of the Company’s financial results include:

  • Total Revenues increased 7.5% to $36.5 million for the quarter compared to the prior year third quarter and increased 13.9% to $103.0 million year-to-date compared to the prior year period
  • Total Restaurant Sales for Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased $2.8 million to $27.1 million for the quarter compared to the prior year third quarter and $13.1 million to $77.2 million year-to-date compared to the prior year period
  • Same Store Sales1 for company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased 5.3% for the quarter compared to the prior year quarter and increased 14.0% year-to-date compared to the prior year period
  • Total Restaurant Sales for Good Times restaurants decreased $0.2 million to $9.1 million for the quarter compared to the prior year third quarter and decreased $0.6 million to $25.1 million year-to-date compared to the prior year period
  • Same Store Sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants increased 1.6% for the quarter compared to the prior year third quarter and decreased 0.6% year-to-date compared to the prior year period
  • Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders was $0.5 million for the quarter and Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders was $1.4 million year-to-date
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $1.7 million and $4.0 million year-to-date

Ryan Zink, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “This quarter continues to reflect the significant inflationary pressures facing the restaurant industry across the country. In Colorado, the labor market has been particularly competitive. Though our financial performance has declined year-over-year, we have sequentially held restaurant margins at Bad Daddy’s flat and improved margins at Good Times as we leveraged seasonally higher sales volumes despite continuing escalation of food cost and labor challenges. Inflationary pressures have outpaced not just our expectations, but those of experienced policymakers. We are firm in our commitment to providing great burgers to our customers with best-in-class hospitality, while charging only modestly above-average pricing relative to our direct competitors. To stay competitive, we have raised salaries and wages for our restaurant management and staffing to attract and retain qualified and talented team members.”

Mr. Zink concluded, “While we continue to be thoughtful and patient with Bad Daddy’s development, we have one lease in the final phase of negotiation that we expect to open in fiscal 2023 and have other restaurants in various stages of negotiation in the development pipeline. We’re seeing good results at the previously-franchised restaurant in Greenville, South Carolina that we acquired in March. We also continue to reinvest in our existing Bad Daddy’s restaurants, supporting growth, not just through new units, but through the ongoing average unit volume improvements we anticipate through the proper maintenance and management of our existing restaurants. Further, I am excited about the investments we are making at our Good Times restaurants. During the third quarter we installed new digital menu boards and lane timers at eight of our restaurants with the remainder of those expected to be completed in early fiscal 2023. These menu boards, coupled with new signage bearing our slightly modified, contemporized logo, and ongoing investments in customer-facing technology, communicate our relevance as a concept to a digital-first generation of guests.”

Fiscal 2022 and 2023 Outlook: Due to continuing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, and other impacts causing disruptions to the supply chain, and inflationary pressures, the Company is not, at this point, providing a financial forecast for the balance of fiscal 2022 or for fiscal 2023. Although all Bad Daddy’s dining rooms are currently open and capacity restrictions have been lifted in all locations, the possibility remains that mask mandates, temporary closures and/or capacity restrictions might be put in place with limited notice. Should such restrictions be mandated or should customer behaviors be altered by changing public health guidance, mask mandates, or perceptions related to COVID-19, the Company’s financial performance could be affected.

Conference Call: Management will host a conference call to discuss its 2022 third fiscal quarter financial results on Thursday, August 11, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. ET. Hosting the call will be Ryan M. Zink, its Chief Executive Officer and Matthew Karnes, its Senior Vice President of Finance.

The conference call can be accessed live over the phone by dialing (888) 210-2831, Conference ID 3024033. The conference call will also be webcast live, to access follow the link from the Company's website www.goodtimesburgers.com. An archive of the webcast will be available at the same location on the corporate website shortly after the call has concluded.

Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that restaurant operating costs are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues (as opposed to total revenues).

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 revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment 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. 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 like 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 generally accepted accounting principles (“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. The tables above set forth certain unaudited information for the current and prior year fiscal quarters and year-to-date periods for fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative 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. This measure is presented because we believe that 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and further adjustments to reflect the additions and eliminations presented in the table above.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses and asset disposals, closure costs and restaurant impairments, and (ii) we use adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark for certain of our cash incentive plans and to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. 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 or that vary widely among similar companies. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and income tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property, plant and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management believes that adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of these foregoing variations. 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.
