Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. Reports Fiscal Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2019 Financial Results


Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. ("Del Taco" or the "Company"), (NASDAQ: TACO), the second largest Mexican-American quick service restaurant chain by units in the United States, today reported fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2019 financial results for the 16-week and 52-week periods ending December 31, 2019 and issued fiscal 2020 guidance.

Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2019 Highlights

Fiscal Year 2019 Highlights

* Adjusted net income, restaurant contribution, and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures and defined below under "Key Financial Definitions". Please see the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures accompanying this release.

John D. Cappasola, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Del Taco, commented, "2019 was a challenging year in which we delivered on our revised financial expectations across key metrics while making solid progress on several strategic fronts that position us well for the future. We successfully entered into the digital landscape, transforming our marketing model and creating future sales opportunities by achieving our goal of making our food available through three integrated delivery service providers and growing the new Del App to over 950,000 registered users currently."

Cappasola added, "Over the past year, we have made significant progress on our portfolio optimization program. Including the March 2020 refranchising of our restaurants in the Yuma, AZ and El Centro, CA region, we have refranchised a total of 36 restaurants, including three non-core Western markets that included development commitments for an additional 35 franchised restaurants over time. These commitments enhance our franchise growth prospects and have enabled us to slow company openings in 2020 as we shift our focus toward supporting franchise growth and activating our next Company seed market in Orlando, Florida starting in late 2021."

Cappasola concluded, "This year, the combination of reinvigorating our category leading value position and compelling new product innovation are expected to serve as transaction catalysts, while our strategic progress during 2019 on digital initiatives and daypart utilization strategies are expected to improve heavy user frequency. In late January, we reestablished our commitment to price-value with heavy QSR users through the launch of the Del's Dollar Deals Menu and we are pleased with our initial execution, guest feedback, product mix and improved transaction trends. We will complement our value focus by leveraging our barbell menu strategy with the recent return of premium crispy Jumbo Shrimp and our planned Spring launch of freshly prepared guacamole available with Chips, as a side or addition, and as part of our Epic burrito relaunch."

Review of Fiscal Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total revenue decreased 0.1% to $157.1 million compared to $157.3 million in the fiscal fourth quarter 2018. Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.4% system-wide, resulting in a 2.3% increase on a two-year basis. Company-operated comparable restaurant sales increased 0.4% while franchise comparable restaurant sales increased 0.5%.

Impairment of goodwill was $118.3 million for which there is no comparable charge in the fiscal fourth quarter 2018. This non-cash charge reduces goodwill and does not affect the Company's cash position, cash flow from operating activities, or have any impact on future operations, and is a result of a goodwill impairment assessment following a sustained decrease in the Company's market capitalization which was an indicator of impairment.

Net loss was $114.1 million, representing $3.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.6 million in the fiscal fourth quarter 2018, representing $0.15 per diluted share. Adjusted net income* was $6.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to $7.2 million in the fiscal fourth quarter 2019, or $0.19 per diluted share.

Restaurant contribution* was $25.2 million compared to $29.8 million in the fiscal fourth quarter 2018. As a percentage of Company-operated restaurant sales, restaurant contribution margin decreased 290 basis points year-over-year to 17.4%. The decrease was the result of approximately 40 basis point increase in food and paper costs, an approximately 120 basis point increase in labor and related expenses, and an approximately 140 basis point increase in occupancy and other operating expenses. Restaurant contribution margin included a negative impact of approximately 130 basis points due to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard and the retroactive elimination of a Federal unemployment tax surcharge in 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA* was $20.5 million compared to $23.6 million in the fiscal fourth quarter 2019, including an approximate $1.0 million unfavorable impact from the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

Restaurant Development and Portfolio Optimization

During the fiscal fourth quarter 2019, there were 13 system-wide openings, including 7 company-operated and 6 franchised restaurants, as well as one company-operated and two franchise closures.

Del Taco is focused on optimizing its restaurant portfolio to help stimulate growth in new restaurants, primarily through franchise development, and existing restaurant AUV's. Accordingly, the Company refranchised a total of 18 restaurants in two markets during the fiscal fourth quarter 2019 whereby these two transactions included development commitments for up to an additional aggregate 31 restaurants. In total, 31 restaurants were refranchised during fiscal 2019.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company also refranchised all five company-operated restaurants in the Yuma, AZ and El Centro, CA region to an existing franchisee in a transaction that includes a development commitment for four additional restaurants.

Fiscal Year 2020 Guidance

Del Taco is providing guidance for the 52-week fiscal year 2020 ending December 29, 2020.

Adjusted net income, restaurant contribution, and adjusted EBITDA* are non-GAAP measures and defined below under "Key Financial Definitions".

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted Net Income or Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

Conference Call

A conference call and webcast to discuss Del Taco's financial results and annual guidance is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. ET today. Hosting the conference call and webcast will be John D. Cappasola, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer; and Steven L. Brake, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

Interested parties may listen to the conference call via telephone by dialing 201-689-8471. A telephone replay will be available shortly after the call has concluded and can be accessed by dialing 412-317-6671; the passcode is 13699322.

The webcast will be available at www.deltaco.com under the investors section and will be archived on the site shortly after the call has concluded.

Key Financial Definitions

Comparable restaurant sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable company, franchise and total system restaurant base. Restaurants are included in the comparable store base in the accounting period following its 18th full month of operations and excludes restaurant closures.

Restaurant contribution* is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating expenses, which are food and paper costs, labor and related expenses and occupancy and other operating expenses. Restaurant contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a percentage of company restaurant sales. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating performance of restaurants and the calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management believes that restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are important tools for investors because they are widely-used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency and performance. Management uses restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin as key performance indicators to evaluate the profitability of incremental sales at Del Taco restaurants, to evaluate restaurant performance across periods and to evaluate restaurant financial performance compared with competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA* is defined as net income/loss prior to interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges, such as impairment of goodwill, stock-based compensation expense and restaurant closure charges, as these expenses are not considered an indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income/loss as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by 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. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present Adjusted EBITDA because (i) we believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and (ii) we use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark to compare performance to that of competitors.

Adjusted net income* represents company net income before impairment of goodwill, restaurant closure charges, sublease income related to closed restaurants, impairment of long-lived assets, other income, executive transition costs and loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net of tax. Adjusted diluted net income per share* represents company diluted net income per share before impairment of goodwill, restaurant closure charges, sublease income related to closed restaurants, impairment of long-lived assets, other income, executive transition costs and loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net of tax.
