System-Wide Comparable Restaurant Sales Increased 17.8% Compared to the Prior-Year Fiscal Quarter
Income from Operations Growth of 148.5% Compared to Last Year
Signs New Franchise Development Agreement for 12 New Florida Panhandle Restaurants
Expects System-wide New Unit Growth to Achieve 5% in 2023 Led by Franchising
Lake Forest, CA. July 22, 2021 – 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 second quarter 2021 financial results for the 12-week period ended June 15, 2021 and provided a business update.
Management Commentary
John D. Cappasola, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Del Taco, commented, “We generated outstanding revenue and profitability growth during the second quarter as we leveraged our top-line momentum across all key cost inputs. Top-line growth was characterized by system-wide comparable restaurant sales growth versus 2020 in the high teens, representing mid-single digit growth versus 2019. Importantly, compared to 2019 all day parts were positive during the second quarter except for breakfast, which has since improved to flat in the third quarter, while late snack and graveyard were our top performing dayparts compared to 2019, aided by a strong delivery mix that again reached approximately 7% of sales.”
Cappasola continued, “Looking ahead, our focus on driving sales includes plans to introduce innovative new products and platforms along with the launch of our new Del App and loyalty program this September. In fact, just today we introduced a new breakfast platform centered on Double Cheese Breakfast Tacos that is aimed at capitalizing on the continued normalization of morning routines and strong breakfast seasonality as we head into Fall. Later this summer, we will follow this up with yet another exciting platform launch, Stuffed Quesadilla Tacos, which puts us in a great position to generate guest excitement and momentum in the back half of 2021 and entering 2022.”
Cappasola concluded, “We are very encouraged that Del Taco’s franchise led system growth is gaining momentum as we now expect to open thirteen system-wide restaurants in 2021. We recently announced an agreement with a seasoned multi-concept QSR franchise group for 12 restaurants across the Florida panhandle, representing our third franchise development agreement signed this year for a total of 30 future restaurants. We believe these agreements, plus our expanding backlog and other late-stage agreements we are finalizing, put us in a position to deliver system-wide new unit growth of 5% starting in 2023.”

Review of Fiscal Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Total revenue increased 19.5% to $125.0 million compared to $104.6 million in the fiscal second quarter 2020. Comparable restaurant sales increased 17.8% system-wide, increased 18.3% at company-operated restaurants, and increased 17.2% at franchised restaurants.
Net income was $6.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, last year.

As a percentage of company-operated restaurant sales, restaurant contribution margin increased 250 basis points year-over-year to 18.9%.

Adjusted EBITDA* grew 39.5% to $16.9 million compared to $12.1 million in the fiscal second quarter 2020.

Restaurant Portfolio and New Development Agreements
During the fiscal second quarter 2021, two franchised restaurants opened.

Based on the current development backlog, the three newly signed development agreements and additional agreements the Company expects to announce shortly, Del Taco expects system-wide openings will continue to be led by franchisees and will increase modestly in 2022 compared to the 13 expected system-wide openings in 2021, followed by system-wide new unit growth of 5% beginning in 2023.

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 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 stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net; impairment of goodwill; impairment of trademarks; impairment of long-lived assets; restaurant closure charges, net; amortization of favorable and unfavorable lease assets and liabilities, net; pre-opening costs; sublease income for closed restaurants; executive transition costs; and other income; 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,
3
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 sublease income for closed restaurants; impairment of goodwill; impairment of trademarks; impairment of long-lived assets; restaurant closure charges, net; (gain) loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net; other income; executive transition costs; net of tax. Adjusted diluted net income per share* represents company diluted net income per share before sublease income for closed restaurants; impairment of goodwill; impairment of trademarks; impairment of long-lived assets; restaurant closure charges, net; (gain) loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net; other income; executive transition costs; and tax impact of adjustments, net of tax.
