Noodles & Company Announces Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
BROOMFIELD, Colo., August 6, 2015 (Globe Newswire) - Noodles & Company (NASDAQ: NDLS) today announced financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2015.
Key highlights for the second quarter of 2015 versus the same quarter a year ago include:
| |
• | Total revenue increased 15.9% to $115.2 million from $99.5 million. |
| |
• | Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.1% for company-owned restaurants, decreased 0.5% for franchise restaurants and were flat system-wide. |
| |
• | Restaurant contribution margin decreased to 18.6% from 20.4%. |
| |
• | 17 new restaurants opened system-wide in the second quarter, including 11 company-owned and six franchise restaurants. |
| |
• | GAAP net income decreased to $3.1 million from $3.5 million. |
| |
• | Adjusted net income(1) decreased to $3.1 million, from $3.7 million, and adjusted earnings per diluted share decreased to $0.10 from $0.12. |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA(1) increased to $12.7 million from $12.6 million. |
(1) Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. A reconciliation of GAAP net income to each of these measures is included in the accompanying financial data. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
Kevin Reddy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Noodles & Company, remarked, "During the second quarter, we made considerable progress in refining the culinary and marketing initiatives that we will be implementing during the second half of 2015. As we have discussed in the past, we believe strongly that executing an integrated marketing campaign communicating our commitment to real cooking, as well as pure and wholesome ingredients, will significantly elevate our brand awareness and help us meet today's guest expectations. We are committed to bringing this marketing campaign to life during the balance of the year, as well as key culinary and operational initiatives that will allow us to capitalize more fully on our strength with millennial families."
Mr. Reddy continued, "During the second quarter we had a successful opening at our initial restaurant in Toronto, and we made progress in our underperforming markets. While our comparable restaurant sales and net income in the second quarter fell below our expectations, the underlying business model remains strong, as evidenced by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year and the generation of $22.7 million of cash flow from operations during the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, we repurchased $6.3 million of common stock as part of our recently announced share repurchase program. While we anticipate comparable sales and net income results for the balance of the year to be muted as we invest in sales-building initiatives while facing incremental labor cost pressure, we feel strongly that these initiatives will ultimately improve our awareness and positioning with guests, increase sales, and grow earnings."
Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Total revenue increased $15.7 million in the second quarter of 2015, or 15.9%, to $115.2 million, compared with $99.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. This increase was the result of new restaurants opened system-wide since the beginning of the second quarter of 2014, the acquisition of 20 franchise restaurants during the past twelve months, and a modest increase in sales at our company-owned comparable base restaurants.
Seventeen new restaurants opened system-wide in the second quarter of 2015, including 11 company-owned and six franchise restaurants. Total restaurants at the end of the first quarter totaled 472, comprised of 411 company-owned and 61 franchise restaurants. In the second quarter of 2015, comparable restaurant sales increased 0.1% for company-owned restaurants, decreased 0.5% for franchise restaurants and remained flat system-wide.
Restaurant contribution margin decreased to 18.6% in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 20.4% in the second quarter of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to deleverage on lower average unit volumes due to a higher mix of immature restaurants and increased labor pressures.
The Company reported GAAP net income of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2015, compared with $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted net income decreased to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2015 from $3.7 million in the second quarter of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $12.7 million in the second quarter of 2015 from $12.6 million in the second quarter of 2014.
First Two Quarters 2015 Financial Results
Total revenue increased $32.0 million in the first two quarters of 2015, or 16.9%, to $221.0 million, compared with $189.0 million in the first two quarters of 2014. This increase was the result of new restaurants opened system-wide since the beginning of the second quarter of 2014, the acquisition of 20 franchise restaurants in the last twelve months, and a modest increase in sales at our comparable base restaurants.
Thirty-three new restaurants opened system-wide in the first two quarters of 2015, including 24 company-owned and nine franchise restaurants.
In the first two quarters of 2015, comparable restaurant sales increased 0.4% for company-owned restaurants, 0.4% for franchise restaurants and 0.4% system-wide.
Restaurant contribution margin decreased to 17.5% in the first two quarters of 2015, compared with 19.0% in the first two quarters of 2014. The decrease was primarily due to deleverage on lower average unit volumes due to a higher mix of immature restaurants and increased labor pressures.
The Company reported GAAP net income of $0.3 million in the first two quarters of 2015, compared with GAAP net income of $5.0 million in the first two quarters of 2014. In the first quarter of 2015 the company recorded a $5.9 million pre-tax impairment charge related to eight restaurants upon the Company's current assessment of their expected future cash flows relative to their asset base, based on recent results. Adjusted net income decreased to $3.9 million from $5.0 million in the first two quarters of 2014. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $21.5 million from $21.0 million in the first two quarters of 2014.
2015 Outlook
Based upon management's current assessment following second quarter results, the Company has revised guidance and currently expects the following for full year 2015:
| |
• | Unit growth of between 48 and 52 company locations and between 15 and 18 franchise locations; |
| |
• | Total Revenue of $460 to $465 million; |
| |
• | System-wide comparable restaurant sales growth of flat to low single digits; |
| |
• | Restaurant level contribution margin of 17.0% to 18.0%; |
| |
• | Adjusted EBITDA of $45 to $49 million; |
| |
• | Adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.26 to $0.32; and |
| |
• | An adjusted effective tax rate between 39% and 40%. |
The sensitivity of the Company's earnings per diluted share for fiscal year 2015 is estimated at the following:
| |
• | For each 1.0% change in guest counts, approximately $0.04 annualized; |
| |
• | For each 10 basis point change in restaurant level contribution margin, approximately $0.01 annualized; and |
| |
• | For each $500,000 in pre-tax income or expense, approximately $0.01. |
Key Definitions:
Comparable Restaurant Sales represent year-over-year sales comparisons for restaurants open for at least 18 full periods.
Restaurant Contribution Margin represents restaurant revenue less restaurant operating costs which are costs of sales, labor, occupancy and other restaurant operating costs.
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, asset disposals, closure costs and restaurant impairments, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, management fees and other one-time expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because: (i) management believes 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) management uses it internally as a benchmark for certain of our cash incentive plans and to evaluate our operating performance or compare performance to that of competitors. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.
Adjusted Net Income represents net income plus various adjustments and the tax effects of these adjustments. Adjusted net income is presented because management believes it helps convey supplemental information to investors regarding the Company's performance excluding the impact of special items that affect the comparability of results in past quarters and expected results in future quarters. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Noodles & Company will host a conference call to discuss the second quarter financial results on Thursday, August 6, 2015 at 4:30 PM Eastern Time.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), the Company uses the following non-GAAP financial measures: adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted EPS (collectively the "non-GAAP financial measures"). The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or to be superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that they provide useful information about operating results, enhance the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. Adjusted net income is presented because management believes it helps convey supplemental information to investors regarding the Company's performance excluding the impact of restaurant impairment costs, stock-based compensation expense associated with the vesting of stock options granted prior to the Company's IPO and the tax effect of such adjustments. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company in this press release may be different from the measures used by other companies.
For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results" tables in this press release. These accompanying tables have more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.

______________________________
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives 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. These measures are presented because we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations.
EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect the additions and eliminations shown in the table above.
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because: (i) we believe they are useful measures 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.

_____________________________
Adjusted net income is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. We define adjusted net income as net income plus the impact of adjustments and the tax effects of these adjustments. Adjusted net income is presented because management believes it helps convey supplemental information to investors regarding our performance, excluding the impact of special items that affect the comparability of results in past quarters to expected results in future quarters. Adjusted net income as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of adjusted net income should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. Our management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter based on comparable financial results.

| |
(b) | Reflects the annual vesting of the options granted to the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Operating Officer prior to our IPO. |
| |
(c) | Reflects the tax expense associated with the adjustment in (a) and (b) above. |
| |
(d) | Adjusted per share amounts are calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the adjusted basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. |
