Management provides updates to FY 2023 guidance and outlook

Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) announced financial results for the Jack in the Box and Del Taco segments in the second quarter, ended April 16, 2023.

"The momentum in our business continued throughout the second quarter, reflected in outstanding sales, positive net unit growth, improved margin performance and the signing of a development agreement for expansion into Mexico," said Darin Harris, Jack in the Box Chief Executive Officer. "Over the last year we have been focused on the execution of our strategy, and the results are beginning to show. We look forward to continued strength in the back half of 2023, while remaining focused on what is most important: expanding our reach, offering guests what they want when they want it, and a relentless pursuit to improve restaurant level economics for Jack and Del Taco franchisees."

Jack in the Box Performance

Same-store sales increased 9.5% in the second quarter with franchise same-store sales up 9.4% and company-operated same-store sales up 10.8%. Company-operated restaurants experienced growth in both average check and traffic while franchise restaurants had growth in average check, partially offset by a decline in traffic. Systemwide sales for the second quarter increased 9.8%.

Restaurant-Level Margin(2), a non-GAAP measure, was 21.4%, an increase of 6.4% from a year ago driven primarily by strong sales leverage and the sale of two evolving markets. Franchise-Level Margin(2), a non-GAAP measure, was 41.2%, an increase of 1.8% from a year ago, driven by flow through from higher franchise sales, and lower bad debt expense.

Jack net restaurant count was positive in the second quarter, with two franchise openings and one franchisee closure. As of Q2, and since the launch of the development program in mid-2021, the company currently has 76 signed agreements for a total of 335 restaurants. Under these agreements, 27 restaurants have opened, leaving 308 remaining for future development. In the second quarter, Jack in the Box also completed a new franchisee development agreement to enter Mexico with 22 restaurant commitments.

Del Taco Performance(1)

Same-store sales increased 3.2% in the second quarter, comprised of franchise same-store sales growth of 2.8% and Company-operated same-store sales growth of 3.5%. Sales performance was boosted by the Jumbo Shrimp and Beer Battered Fish Lent promotions and menu price, partially offset by changes in menu mix and transaction declines. Systemwide sales for the fiscal second quarter increased 3.2% driven by positive results in both franchise and company-operated same-store sales.

Restaurant-Level Margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 17.3%, a decrease of 0.5% from a year ago driven by higher sales, offset by commodity, wage and utility inflation, and other operating costs. Franchise-Level Margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 37.3%, a decrease of 4.4% from a year ago driven by higher franchise costs and the impact of refranchising transactions with pass through rent, partially offset by franchise same-store sales growth.

Del Taco had a second quarter net increase of three restaurants, comprised of three franchise openings. Subsequent to the quarter, the company also refranchised 17 Del Taco restaurants in Las Vegas to an existing Del Taco franchisee, which included development agreements for 10 new Del Taco restaurants to be built in Las Vegas, Wyoming and Montana, as well as 6 Jack in the Box restaurants to be built in Wyoming and Montana.

Company-Wide Performance

Second quarter diluted earnings per share was $1.27. Operating Earnings Per Share (3), a non-GAAP measure, was $1.47 in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $1.16 in the prior year quarter. Both diluted earnings per share and Operating Earnings Per Share included a $0.05 net positive impact as a result of a two litigation matters, both of which are not expected to reoccur.

Total revenues increased 22.8% to $395.7 million, compared to $322.3 million in the prior year quarter. Net earnings increased to $26.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, compared with $7.8 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022. Adjusted EBITDA(4), a non-GAAP measure, was $78.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 compared with $64.4 million for the prior year quarter. This included a $1.4 million net positive impact as a result of two litigation matters, both of which are not expected to reoccur.

Company-wide SG&A expense for the second quarter was $39.4 million, an increase of $11.2 million compared to the prior year quarter, due to Del Taco expenses being included for a full quarter as well as higher incentive compensation and advertising. These increases were partially offset by mark-to-market changes in the cash surrender value of company owned life insurance ("COLI") policies, net of changes in our deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies, resulting in a year-over-year decrease of $3.0 million. When excluding net COLI gains, G&A was 2.5% of systemwide sales.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal year 2023 was 34.8% compared to 33.3% in fiscal year 2022. The major components of the increase in tax rate were the impact of estimated disposals of non-deductible goodwill attributable to refranchising transactions, partially offset by non-taxable COLI gains in the current year as opposed to non-deductible COLI losses in the prior year and non-deductible transaction costs resulting from the Del Taco acquisition recorded in the prior year. The Non-GAAP Operating EPS tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 26.7%.

(1) Del Taco same-store sales on a three-year basis and all prior year comparisons are pro forma and based on the time period of Jack in the Box’s full year fiscal calendar, with the exception of Del Taco's prior year Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin which are based on a partial quarter time period, March 8 through April 17 2022.

(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."

(3) Operating Earnings Per Share for the second quarter of 2023 represents the diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, excluding acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs, COLI (gains) losses, net, pension and post-retirement benefit costs, refranchising gains and the tax impacts of the related adjustments. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results." Operating earnings per share may not add due to rounding.

(4) 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, other operating expenses (income), net, depreciation and amortization, the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net and the amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and incentives. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."

Capital Allocation

The company repurchased 0.2 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $18.6 million, including the applicable excise tax, in the second quarter. As of May 17, 2023, there was $141.6 million remaining under the Board-authorized stock buyback program. The company is now committed to executing at least $70 million in share repurchases in FY 2023.

During the second quarter, the company paid down the $50 million outstanding balance on its Variable Funding Note, and now has approximately $172 million dollars of total available borrowing capacity under our VFN and Del Taco credit facility.

On May 12, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.44 per share, to be paid on June 13, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 31, 2023. Future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS TO GAAP RESULTS

(Unaudited)

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted Net Income, Operating Earnings Per Share, 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.

Operating Earnings Per Share

Operating Earnings Per Share represents diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis excluding acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs; COLI (gains) losses, net; pension and post-retirement benefit costs; debt write-off costs; gains on sale of real estate to franchisees; and the tax impacts of the related adjustments. Operating Earnings Per Share 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 Operating Earnings Per Share provides investors with a meaningful supplement of the company’s operating performance and period-over-period changes without regard to potential distortions.

Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income. Also below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings Per Share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted earnings per share. Figures may not add due to rounding.

Adjusted EBITDA

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, other operating expenses (income), net, depreciation and amortization, amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net and the amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and other. 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.

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, other operating expenses (income), 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-operated restaurants.
