Fiscal 2022 Guidance
Due to the uncertainties created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing impact of the Delta variant, forecasting business performance is not currently reliable and as a result, we are providing a limited financial outlook for fiscal 2022. These uncertainties, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
Full Year Fiscal 2022 Guidance
•Commodity and labor inflation is expected to be in the mid-single digits.
•Excluding the impact of special items, the effective income tax rate is expected to be in the range of 14% to 15%.
•Capital expenditures are expected to be $155.0 million to $165.0 million.
•Diluted weighted average shares outstanding are expected to be in the range of 45.0 million to 47.0 million.
We are unable to reliably forecast special items such as restaurant impairments, restaurant closures, reorganization charges and legal settlements without unreasonable effort. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures. If special items are reported during fiscal 2022, reconciliations to the appropriate GAAP measures will be provided.

(1) Company restaurant expenses includes Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses, and excludes Depreciation and amortization, General and administrative and Other (gains) and charges.
Chili’s
•Chili’s Company sales increased primarily due to higher dining room sales, higher delivery sales including It’s Just Wings and the impact of the additional operating week, partially offset by a decrease in To-Go sales.
•Chili’s Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to sales leverage, lower advertising expenses, lower insurance, and lower To-Go supplies expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increased manager and hourly wages and bonuses, higher repairs and maintenance expenses, higher utilities expenses and unfavorable commodity pricing.
2
Maggiano’s
•Maggiano’s Company sales increased primarily due to higher dining and banquet room sales, higher delivery sales including It’s Just Wings and the impact of the additional operating week, partially offset by a decrease in To-Go sales.
•Maggiano’s Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to sales leverage and lower To-Go supplies expenses. These decreases were partially offset by increased manager and hourly wages and bonuses, higher repairs and maintenance expenses, higher advertising expenses and higher insurance expenses.
Franchise and other revenues
•Franchise and other revenues increased primarily due to higher dining room sales and traffic at our domestic and global franchise restaurants resulting in higher royalty income. Our franchisees generated sales of approximately $238.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $82.4 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.
•Maggiano’s Franchise and other revenues increased primarily due to higher banquet room sales and traffic.
Income Taxes
•On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate was 15.2% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 which is lower than the statutory rate of 21.0% due to leverage of the FICA tip tax credit. Excluding the impact of special items (see non-GAAP reconciliation below for details), the effective income tax rate was 15.0% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

(1) Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months except acquired restaurants which are included after 12 months of ownership. Restaurants temporarily closed 14 days or more are excluded from comparable restaurant sales. Percentage amounts are calculated based on the comparable periods year-over-year.
(2) Comparable Restaurant Sales for Q4:21 vs 20 and FY:21 vs 20 include the results of virtual brands.
(3) Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests.
(4) Chili’s franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in Total revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) (Unaudited); however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe presenting Chili’s franchise comparable restaurant sales provides investors relevant information regarding total brand performance.
(5) Chili’s domestic Comparable Restaurant Sales percentages are derived from sales generated by Company-owned and franchise-operated Chili’s restaurants in the United States.
(6) System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales are derived from sales generated by Company-owned Chili’s and Maggiano’s restaurants and sales generated at franchise-operated Chili’s restaurants.

Restaurant operating margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant operating margin is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations. This non-GAAP measure is not
10
indicative of overall Company performance and profitability because this measure does not directly accrue benefit to the shareholders due to the nature of costs excluded. We define Restaurant operating margin as Company sales less Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses. We believe this metric provides a more useful comparison between periods and enables investors to focus on the performance of restaurant-level operations by excluding revenues not related to food and beverage sales at Company-owned restaurants, corporate General and administrative expenses, Depreciation and amortization, and Other (gains) and charges.
Restaurant operating margin excludes Franchise and other revenues which are earned primarily from royalties, delivery fee income, gift card breakage, digital entertainment revenues, Maggiano’s banquet service charge income, franchise advertising fees, franchise and development fees, gift card equalization, merchandise income and gift card discount costs from third-party gift card sales. Depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which are related to restaurant-level assets, are excluded because such expenses represent historical costs which do not reflect current cash outlays for the restaurants. General and administrative expenses include primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices and are therefore excluded. We believe that excluding special items, included within Other (gains) and charges, from Restaurant operating margin provides investors with a clearer perspective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.
