“BJ’s solid fourth quarter results demonstrate the operational excellence being delivered in our restaurants and the significant progress we are making with productivity and margin enhancement initiatives,” commented Greg Levin, Chief Executive Officer and President. “Restaurant margins improved by 150 basis points year-over-year to 14.4% in the fourth quarter, despite industry-wide consumer softness beginning in November. Our menu simplification is delivering its anticipated benefits of improved labor efficiencies and higher team member retention. Moreover, BJ’s positive third-party service and food sentiment scores improved meaningfully in the fourth quarter, demonstrating that we are delivering tangible benefits to our guests’ experience with our simplified menu, more tenured restaurant team members, and our relentless drive to provide an unmatched level of gracious hospitality. We continue to focus on a variety of initiatives aimed at increasing guest traffic and driving sales, as well as realizing benefits from our cross-functional cost savings initiatives, which are improving operating margins without compromising the gold standard of operational excellence for which BJ’s has come to be known,” continued Levin.
In fiscal 2023, BJ’s opened five new restaurants, including its first in the state of Illinois. The Company closed five underperforming restaurants during the year as part of its portfolio review process. “The new restaurants we have opened over the last three years continue to generate strong returns with higher sales compared to our existing restaurants and average run-rate restaurant level margins in the mid- to high-teens,” added Levin.
Capital Expenditures, Capital Allocation and Share Repurchases
The Company is focused on delivering value to its shareholders through its disciplined approach to capital allocation, new restaurant growth, restaurant remodels, and sales and productivity initiatives. “Consistent with the strategy outlined during our November Investor Day, we continue to take a disciplined approach to capital allocation, including new restaurant growth relative to new restaurant costs, with our overall restaurant economics guiding the timing for accelerated growth and related capital expenditures. This approach serves BJ’s, our guests and shareholders well while allowing us to use our growing cash flows to enhance shareholder value through share repurchases and debt reduction,” continued Levin.
“During 2024, we expect total capital expenditures of approximately $70 million, net of tenant improvement allowances, which includes three new restaurants and 20 existing restaurant remodels. The first new restaurant is scheduled to open during April in Brookfield, Wisconsin, marking the first BJ’s restaurant in the state. Following the Brookfield, Wisconsin opening, the two additional new restaurants planned for 2024 will be our new prototype which is designed to cost approximately $1 million less to build than recent new restaurants. By the end of 2024, we expect about half of BJ’s restaurants to either be the most recent prototype or have been refreshed in the past three years as part of our remodel initiative. With significant and improving cash flow from operations, expanding margins and a healthy balance sheet, we have the financial flexibility to execute multiple initiatives to enhance shareholder value,” Levin concluded.
During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased and retired approximately 0.3 million shares of its common stock at a cost of approximately $6.7 million. Reflecting the Company’s increasing operating cash flow, in February 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the share repurchase program by $50 million. As a result, the Company currently has approximately $61 million available under its authorized $550 million share repurchase program.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company is reporting below certain non-GAAP financial results and related reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or a substitute for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures.
Reconciliation of Selected GAAP Financial Measures to Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures
To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included the following non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release or in the webcast to discuss the Company’s financial results for fourth quarter 2023, which may be accessed via the Company’s website at http://www.bjsrestaurants.com: (i) non-GAAP adjusted net income and (ii) non-GAAP adjusted diluted net income per share. Each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses or gains. As a general matter, the Company uses these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP to help analyze the performance of its core business. The Company believes that such non-GAAP adjusted financial information is used by analysts and others in the investment community to analyze the Company’s results and in formulating estimates of future performance and that failure to report these non-GAAP adjusted measures may result in confusion among analysts and others and a misplaced perception that the Company’s results have underperformed or exceeded expectations.
For the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2023, adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted diluted net income per share excludes the additional gift card breakage revenue resulting from the change in estimate.

| (2) | The tax effect is based on the Company’s annual effective tax rate of 24.2% for fiscal year ending January 3, 2023. |
Restaurant Level Operating Margin
Restaurant level operating margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, is equal to the revenues generated by our restaurants less their direct operating costs which consist of cost of sales, labor and benefits, and occupancy and operating costs. This performance measure primarily includes the costs that restaurant level managers can directly control and excludes other operating costs that are essential to conduct the Company’s business, as detailed in the table below. Management uses restaurant level operating margin as a supplemental measure of restaurant performance. Management believes restaurant level operating margin is useful to investors in that it highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Because other companies may calculate restaurant level operating margin differently than we do, restaurant level operating margin as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
A reconciliation of income (loss) from operations to restaurant level operating margin for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 2, 2024, and January 3, 2023, is set forth below:

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”)
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the sum of net income adjusted for certain expenses and gains/losses detailed within the reconciliation below. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance. Management believes these measures are useful to investors in that they highlight cash flow and trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures. Because other companies may calculate these measures differently than we do, Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
