SOUTHFIELD, Mich., March 14, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:BAGR) ("DRH" or the "Company"), the creator, developer and operator of the unique, full-service, ultra-casual restaurant and bar Bagger Dave's Burger Tavern® ("Bagger Dave's") and one of the largest franchisees for Buffalo Wild Wings® ("BWW"), announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 29, 2013.

"We made excellent progress in 2013 as demonstrated by our growth in restaurants and sales. We added 10 new restaurants and relocated one in the year, expanded into a new market, continued to be creative with Bagger Dave's menu to continue to delight our guests and further refined our real estate strategy," commented Michael Ansley, President and CEO of DRH.

Mr. Ansley added, "We are excited about the progress we are making with our Bagger Dave's brand. Our customers remain our top focus and the key to our ongoing success as we continue to expand brand awareness and market penetration."

Fourth quarter revenue of $28.5 million (a 13-week period) was up $2.4 million, or 9.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2012 (a 14-week period), more than offsetting the benefit of an additional week in the prior-year period. Comparable restaurant sales increased 1.1% on a consolidated basis for the fourth quarter of 2013. This compares with an exceptionally strong 9.2% comparable restaurant sales growth in the fourth quarter of 2012. Comparable sales growth for the 2013 fourth quarter was driven primarily by pricing. Traffic, which was slightly lighter than the prior-year period, was affected by weather, sports schedules and the performance of Detroit professional baseball and football teams. Two-year comparable sales grew 10.3% for the quarter.

Fiscal 2013 (a 52-week period) sales grew $31.5 million, or 40.6%, to $108.9 million from fiscal 2012 (a 53-week period). Sales growth was driven by the addition of ten new restaurants in 2013. Comparable sales for 2013 were up 3.7%, on both traffic and pricing, compared with 7.6% in 2012. Two-year comparable sales were up 11.6%.

There were 36 comparable restaurants for the quarter and the year. This was comprised of 29 BWW and seven Bagger Dave's. At the end of 2013, there were 54 total corporate-owned restaurants operating, comprised of 18 Bagger Dave's and 36 BWW, compared with 44 restaurants at the end of 2012.

Fourth Quarter Operating Results

Restaurant operating costs were up $1.7 million as a result of the increased number of locations, but were down 70 basis points as a percentage of revenue. The largest component of restaurant operating costs, food, beverage, and packaging costs, was relatively unchanged for the quarter at $8.2 million as the Company's increased scale helped contribute to buying efficiencies. Food, beverage, and packaging costs as a percentage of sales were 29.4%, down 200 basis points from the prior-year period.

Compensation expense, the second largest component of restaurant operating costs, was up about $0.6 million to $7.2 million as personnel count increased to staff the new restaurants. However, as a percentage of sales, labor costs were consistent with the fourth quarter of 2012 at 25.3%.

General and administrative expenses for the quarter declined to $2.2 million, or 7.7% of sales, from $2.3 million, or 8.8% of sales, in the same period last year due to the benefits of scale and tight cost controls.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 25.8% to $3.4 million, or 12.1% of sales, from $2.7 million, or 10.5% of sales, in the prior-year period. Restaurant-level EBITDA increased by nearly $0.7 million to $5.7 million. As a percentage of sales, fourth quarter restaurant-level EBITDA improved to 19.9% from 19.1%. (1)DRH believes that, when used in conjunction with GAAP measures, restaurant-level EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures, provide additional information related to its operating performance. (See reconciliation of restaurant-level EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA in the supplemental tables included at the end of this release.)

Net loss attributable to DRH in the 2013 fourth quarter was $0.2 million, an improvement over the net loss of $0.6 million in the same period of the prior year.

Full Year 2013 Review

The $31.4 million increase in 2013 revenue included $14.9 million generated from the 18 restaurants that are not included in comparable restaurant sales, $13.4 million incremental sales from acquired BWW restaurants in September 2012, and a $3.1 million increase in same store sales growth.

For 2013 restaurant operating costs increased $26.0 million to $88.9 million driven by new locations, increasing to 81.5% of sales from 81.3% in the prior-year period. The largest component of restaurant operating costs, food, beverage, and packaging costs, increased by $8.6 million to $32.7 million primarily due to the increase in the number of restaurants. Food, beverage, and packaging costs as a percentage of sales were 30.0%, down 110 basis points from the prior-year period due to lower bone-in chicken wing costs. Average cost per pound for bone-in chicken wings decreased 10.7% to $1.76 in 2013 from $1.97 in 2012.

Compensation expense was up $8.7 million to $28.1 million primarily due to the increase in staffing required for the 10 new restaurants. However, as a percentage of sales, labor costs modestly increased to 25.8% from 25.1% in the prior-year period.

General and administrative expenses for the year increased $0.7 million to $7.3 million in 2013. Commensurate with the building of scale in the business along with tight cost controls, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales improved 180 basis points to 6.7%.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 62.7%, or $5.0 million, to $13.0 million in 2013. Restaurant-level EBITDA increased by $5.6 million to $20.2 million. As a percentage of sales, Restaurant-level EBITDA was 18.5% compared with 18.8% in 2012.

Operating expenses were up 41.3% in 2013, reflecting the addition of the new stores added during the year.

DRH generated $1.4 million in operating profit in 2013, compared with $1.6 million in 2012, reflecting a $3.3 million year-over-year increase in depreciation and amortization to $8.0 million as well as the almost doubling of pre-opening expenses to $3.2 million. The higher depreciation and amortization was due to the increase in the total number of restaurants and a larger percentage of stand-alone buildings which require more capital.

The increase in pre-opening expenses was a result of the number of locations opened in 2013 versus 2012 as well as timing and costs to open new restaurants and due to some unique and very large openings. DRH expects pre-opening expenses to be in the range of $200,000 to $250,000 per restaurant going forward.

For fiscal 2013, net income attributable to DRH was $0.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared with net income of $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in fiscal 2012. Adjusted net income for 2013, which excludes non-recurring expenses associated with the Company's listing on NASDAQ and debt restructuring activities, was $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. (See the reconciliation between GAAP Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) in the supplemental table included in this release.)

The Company opened ten restaurants in 2013, seven Bagger Dave's and three BWW.

Balance Sheet

Cash, cash equivalents and investments increased $15.4 million to $18.1 million at December 29, 2013 from the end of the prior year. In April 2013, the Company issued 6.9 million shares of common stock which resulted in net proceeds of $31.9 million.

Capital expenditures increased $9.7 million to $25.3 million in 2013. New restaurant construction was approximately $19.0 million and the remainder was for remodeling and refreshing existing restaurants. The Company is committed to reinvesting in its stores and is following a definitive schedule of continued improvements and remodeling to maintain a positive dining experience for its guests. For 2014, the Company estimates capital expenditures to be in the range of $33.0 million to $36.0 million, with the majority focused on new restaurant opening, including real estate.

Outlook

Mr. Ansley noted, "We are committed to continuing to grow our restaurants, advance our Bagger Dave's brand and build upon our loyal customer base. We plan to leverage the momentum we have developed and increase our restaurants by 20% in 2014. We have launched our new menu, introduced frequently requested chicken to our menu and have initiated a unique loyalty program. We have zeroed in on our logo which embodies our train theme at Bagger Dave's and will begin a much improved marketing campaign with a heavier traditional media mix. We believe these actions will further differentiate Bagger Dave's, attract more attention to our BWWs and ultimately drive higher sales."

In 2014, DRH plans to open 11 additional restaurants, expanding total unit count by 20.4%, which will be comprised mostly of Bagger Dave's:

  • Open eight Bagger Dave's locations in Michigan and Indiana, a 44.4% unit increase over the units that existed at the end of 2013
  • Open three Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants, relocate two, and remodel two

Revenue in 2014 is expected to be in the range of $125 million to $130 million.

Fiscal 2014 restaurant-level EBITDA is expected to be in a range of approximately $22.0 million to $23.5 million, while adjusted EBITDA for fiscal 2014 is expected to be between $13.5 million and $14.5 million.

Mr. Ansley concluded, "Importantly, as we grow we are building a more experienced staff, improving operational efficiencies and formalizing best practices throughout our franchise."

We are presenting Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not presented in accordance with GAAP, because we believe they provide an additional metric by which to evaluate our operations. When considered together with our GAAP results and the reconciliation to our net income, we believe they provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We use Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, together with financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as revenue, income from operations, net income, and cash flows from operations, to assess our historical and prospective operating performance and to enhance the understanding of our core operating performance. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because: (i) we believe they are useful measures for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses; (ii) we believe investors will find these measures useful in assessing our ability to service or incur indebtedness; and (iii) they are used internally as benchmarks to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors.
Additionally, we present Restaurant-Level EBITDA because it excludes the impact of general and administrative expenses and restaurant pre-opening costs, both which are non-recurring at the restaurant level. The use of Restaurant-Level EBITDA thereby enables us and our investors to compare our operating performance between periods and to compare our operating performance to the performance of our competitors. The measure is also widely used within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant level productivity, efficiency, and performance. The use of Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on 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 structure and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management team believes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA facilitate company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of the foregoing variations.
Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, income from operations, net cash provided by operating, investing, or financing activities, or other financial statement data presented as indicators of financial performance or liquidity, each as presented in accordance with GAAP. Neither Restaurant-Level EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies and our presentation of Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual items. Our management recognizes that Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical financial measures, including the following:
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our current capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures;
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, associated with our indebtedness;
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash charges, although the assets being depreciated and amortized will likely have to be replaced in the future, nor do Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect disposals or other non-recurring income and expenses;
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in fair value of derivative instruments;
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect restaurant pre-opening costs; and
•  Restaurant-Level EBITDA does not reflect general and administrative expenses.
