Jack in the Box Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2021 Earnings

Systemwide sales growth +8.6% in Q4 2021; +13.1% FY 2021

Same store sales growth +0.1% in Q4 2021; +10.3% FY 2021

Diluted EPS +9.8% at $1.80 in Q4 2021; +91.0% at $7.37 FY 2021(1)

Net units down -1.0% FY 2021

Management provides annual guidance measures for FY 2022

Management provides restaurant level margin outlook for FY 2022

Management provides company-owned restaurant outlook for 2022 and 2023

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) announced financial results for the fourth quarter ended October 3, 2021, comprised of growth in systemwide sales, same store sales and earnings per share.

"I am very proud of the execution and determination shown by our outstanding franchisees and corporate team members, continuing to deliver for our guests during a challenging operating environment,” said Darin Harris, Jack in the Box Chief Executive Officer. “We closed the year with strong comps on a two-year basis of +12.3% in Q4, leading us to another record-setting year of store-level profitability — a key element in driving results against our growth strategy in the near future. We continue to focus heavily on making significant progress on our strategic pillars, growth objectives, and unlocking substantial value for JACK shareholders."

Systemwide sales for the fourth quarter increased 8.6%, or 0.2% when excluding the 53rd week for the purpose of comparison to the prior year, driven by positive results in same store sales and partially offset by a slight decline in net unit growth. Systemwide sales for full year 2021 increased 13.1%, or 11.0% when excluding the 53rd week.

The company had a fourth quarter net store decline of one store, comprised of four store openings and five closures. The five store closures included one company-owned location and four related to early terminations and an agreement expiration. In the fourth quarter, there were development agreements signed for 47 future restaurants, bringing the year-to-date total to 111 future restaurant commitments.

Company-operated same-store sales declined 4.4% in the fourth quarter, with decreases in traffic partially offset by increases in average check. Franchise same-store sales grew 0.6%, with increases in average check; partially offset by a decrease in traffic.

(1) Fiscal year 2020 Diluted EPS included non-recurring items, notably a pension settlement charge and the sale of a corporate office building, that affect the comparability to fiscal year 2021 Diluted EPS.

Fourth quarter diluted earnings per share was $1.80, up 9.8% over the prior year quarter or 2.4% excluding the benefit of the 53rd week. Total revenues increased 9.0% to $278.5 million, compared to $255.4 million in the comparable period ended September 27, 2020, driven by the 53rd week in 2021 and growth in same store sales. Net earnings increased to $38.9 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, compared with $37.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Adjusted EBITDA(1), a non-GAAP measure, was $74.3 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with $78.4 million for the prior year quarter.

Restaurant-Level Margin(2), a non-GAAP measure, was 20.1%, a decrease of 6.9% from the fourth quarter a year ago, primarily driven by the take back of lower-volume franchise restaurants; increases in food and packaging costs; wage inflation of 9.8%; and increases in utilities, and maintenance and repair costs, partially offset by lower incentive compensation and menu price increases. Commodity costs increased in the quarter by approximately 11.8%, primarily due to increases in pork, beef and beverages.

Franchise-Level Margin(2), a non-GAAP measure, increased by $6.1 million, or 8.7% from the fourth quarter a year ago, driven by the benefit of the 53rd week in 2021.

G&A expense for the fourth quarter was $16.7 million, an increase of $6.4 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven primarily by a $3.8 million favorable litigation settlement in the prior year quarter; mark-to-market changes in the cash surrender value of company owned life insurance ("COLI") policies, net of a deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies, resulting in a year-over-year increase of $1.1 million; a $1.1 million increase in incentive compensation; and $1.5 million related to the 53rd week in fiscal 2021. G&A for the full-year was $63.1 million. When including selling and advertising expense, SG&A was $82.7 million for fiscal 2021.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding income taxes, interest expense, net, gains or losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, impairment and other charges, net, depreciation and amortization, the amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and other, and pension settlement charges. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."

(2) Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to earnings from operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, in the attachment to this release. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."

Franchised restaurant sales represent sales at franchised restaurants and are revenues of our franchisees. System sales include company and franchised restaurant sales. We do not record franchised sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues, marketing fees and percentage rent revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchised sales. We believe franchised and system restaurant sales information is useful to investors as they have a direct effect on the company's profitability.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS TO GAAP RESULTS

(Unaudited)

To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin. Management believes that these measurements, when viewed with the company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations in the tables below, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period changes, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of the company's core business without regard to potential distortions.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding earnings from discontinued operations, income taxes, interest expense, net, gains or losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, impairment and other charges (gains), net, depreciation and amortization, the amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and incentives, and pension settlement charges. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the company's ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings (in thousands).

Restaurant-Level Margin

Restaurant-Level Margin is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs (food and packaging, labor, and occupancy costs) and is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-Level Margin excludes revenues and expenses of our franchise operations and certain costs, such as selling, general, and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other (gains) charges, net, gains or losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, and other costs that are considered normal operating costs. As such, Restaurant-Level Margin is not indicative of the overall results of the company and does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders because of the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-Level Margin should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. The company is presenting Restaurant-Level Margin because it believes that it provides a meaningful supplement to net earnings of the company's core business operating results, as well as a comparison to those of other similar companies. Management utilizes Restaurant-Level Margin as a key performance indicator to evaluate the profitability of company-owned restaurants.
