Third Quarter 2018 Review

 

Total revenue for the third quarter of 2018 was $14.1 million, down 12.4% from the third quarter of 2017. The decrease in Company-owned net restaurant sales revenue was primarily a result of the closure of nine Company-owned restaurants. The impact of these closures was partially offset by a 2.1% increase in same-store sales.  The declines in franchise royalty and fee revenue were driven by a decline in franchise-operated same store sales of 1.8% and royalty abatements agreed upon to facilitate the transfer of certain of our franchise-operated restaurants to new operators, who have committed to investing necessary resources to refresh these transferred stores. Additionally, the adoption of ASC 606 – Revenue From Contracts with Customers resulted in approximately $569,000 of additional revenue during the third quarter of 2018.

 

Restaurant-level operating margin, as a percentage of restaurant sales, net, for Company-owned restaurants was 2.0% compared to 5.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

 

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1.9 million from $3.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. The year over year decline was primarily a result of reduced legal and professional fees, occupancy costs at our corporate office, and compensation expense.

 

We recognized net income from continuing operations of approximately $1.4 million, or $0.15 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to a loss from continuing operations of $1.9 million, or ($0.28) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.  We recognized net income from discontinued operations of approximately $100,000, or $0.01 per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.

 

Adjusted net income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was approximately $1.5 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to adjusted net loss from continuing operations of approximately $283,000, or ($0.04) per share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2017. A reconciliation between adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations and its most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the accompanying financial tables.

 

Executive Comments

 

Jeff Crivello, CEO, commented, “In the third quarter of 2018 we saw our initiatives related to increasing our corporate catering sales come to fruition, as we increased the sales in that line of business by 2.9% year over year.  Our new menu launched throughout the majority of the corporate and franchise system as of October 29, 2018, and we are making significant progress with the development of our Clark Crew BBQ concept.  We look forward to our continuous effort to evolve the Famous Dave's brand.”

 

About Famous Dave’s

 

Famous Dave’s develops, owns, operates and franchises barbeque restaurants. Its menu features award-winning barbequed and grilled meats, a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), the Company uses non-GAAP measures including those indicated below. These non-GAAP measures exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are subject to inherent limitations. By providing non-GAAP measures, together with a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, the Company believes that it is enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and results of operations. These measures are not intended to be considered in isolation of, as substitutes for, or superior to, financial measures prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP measures presented may be different from the measures used by other companies. The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, included in the accompanying financial tables.

 

Adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations is net income (loss) from continuing operations, plus asset impairment, estimated lease termination and other closing costs, settlement agreements, net (loss) gain on disposal of equipment, stock-based compensation, severance, and the related tax impact. This number is divided by the weighted-average number of basic shares of common stock outstanding during each period presented to arrive at adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations, per share. Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss), including discontinued operations, plus asset impairment, estimated lease termination and other closing costs, settlement agreements, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net, net (loss) gain on disposal of equipment, stock-based compensation, severance and provision (benefit) for income taxes.
