Good Times Restaurants Reports Results for the Third Quarter Ended June 29, 2021

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 29, 2021.

Key highlights of the Company’s financial results include:

  • Total Revenues increased 39.4% to $33.9 million for the quarter compared to the same prior-year quarter
  • Total Restaurant Sales for Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased $9.5 million to $24.4 million for the quarter
  • Compared to the third quarter of 2019, sales during the quarter increased by 14.3% at Good times and by 0.7% at Bad Daddy’s among restaurants that were open for the full quarter in both years
  • Same Store Sales1 for company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased 61.4% for the quarter
  • Total Restaurant Sales for Good Times restaurants were $9.3 million for the quarter
  • Same Store Sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants increased 2.9% for the quarter
  • Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders was $13.6 million for the quarter including approximately $11.8 million in forgiveness of principal and interest amounts on Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans
  • Adjusted EBITDA2 (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $3.1 million
  • The Company ended the quarter with $10.3 million in cash and no borrowings outstanding under its senior credit facility

Ryan M. Zink, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our strong same store sales at both brands, as well as attaining 2019 sales levels beginning in July at Bad Daddy’s, are the results of the commitment and dedication of our restaurant leaders and team members who embrace our mission to serve our guests and operate great restaurants despite the pressures and challenges arising from a difficult hiring environment.”

Mr. Zink continued, “As many other restaurant companies have expressed, we have seen cost pressures, both in commodities and in the labor market. We expect those pressures to continue through the balance of this fiscal year and likely at least through the end of the calendar year. We expect to be able to manage commodity cost increases through targeted menu price adjustments, however, we believe that overall labor costs will be pressured until there is greater slack in the labor market.”

Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2022 Outlook:

As previously announced, due to continuing unprecedented economic conditions associated with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and unpredictable nature of COVID-19 and government responses to the evolving situation, the Company had not previously provided a complete financial outlook for the remainder of the 2021 fiscal year. However, based on improved cash flow and stabilizing operations, the Company is providing the following expectations for fiscal 2021:

  • One additional new Bad Daddy’s restaurant opening during the fourth quarter
  • Total net income attributable to common shareholders of between $16.5 million and $17.0 million
  • Total capital expenditures of approximately $3.3 million to $3.5 million, including both capitalized maintenance and new store expenditures

Total Adjusted EBITDA2 of between $9.5 and $10.0 million. In light of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, the Company is not at this point providing a complete financial forecast for fiscal 2022, however the company expects to open up to two Bad Daddy’s restaurants, likely in the late second half of the year and believes that its present annualized run-rate net income attributable to common shareholders is between $4.0 million and $4.5 million, including recent accretion in food and labor costs.

Although all Bad Daddy’s dining rooms are currently open and capacity restrictions have been lifted in certain locations, the possibility remains that temporary closures and/or capacity restrictions might be put in place with limited notice. Should such restrictions be enforced, or should customer behaviors be altered by changing public health guidance or perceptions related to COVID-19, the company could reduce development or financial performance expectations.

Conference Call: Management will host a conference call to discuss its third quarter 2021 financial results on Tuesday, August 10, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. MT/5:00 p.m. ET. Hosting the call will be Ryan Zink, its President and Chief Executive Officer.

The conference call can be accessed live over the phone by dialing (888) 339-0806 and requesting the Good Times Restaurants (GTIM) call. The conference call will also be webcast live from the Company's corporate 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 2021 and fiscal 2020, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

_____________________

1 Depreciation and amortization, and preopening expense have been reduced by any amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

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.
