CEO
Comments
“By all measures the fourth quarter was an excellent finish to 2017 for Bloomin’ Brands,” said Liz Smith, CEO. “Outback’s Q4 sales and traffic performance were well ahead of
the industry, and reflect the ongoing impact of our investments in the customer experience. We are pleased with how our brands are performing so far in early 2018, particularly at Outback where momentum
continues.”

• |
The increase in total revenues was primarily due to $80.4 million of revenues from the 53rd week of 2017, higher comparable restaurant sales and an increase in franchise and other revenues, partially offset by
decreases from refranchising internationally and domestically and the net impact of restaurant closures and new restaurant openings. |
• |
The increase in U.S. GAAP operating income margin was primarily due to: (i) the impact of the
53rd week in 2017, (ii) net year-over-year impact of closure
and restructuring initiatives, (iii) the impact of certain cost savings initiatives and (iv) lower advertising expense. These increases were partially offset by increases in incentive compensation expense and higher labor costs.
|
• |
The largest contributor to our decline in Q4 2017 adjusted operating income margin was an increase in
incentive compensation expense driven by improved sales and profit performance. In Q4 2017, we recorded $15.3 million of incentive compensation expense as compared to a $9.0 million reversal of incentive compensation expense in Q4 2016, resulting in
a $24.3 million dollar change in year-over-year incentive compensation
expense. |

Dividend Declaration and Share Repurchases
In February 2018, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.09 per share to be paid on March 14, 2018 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 5,
2018.
On April 21, 2017, our Board of Directors approved a $250 million share repurchase program. As of February 16, 2018, we had $55 million remaining under this authorization. On February 16, 2018, our Board of Directors canceled the remaining authorization and approved a new $150.0 million authorization. This authorization will expire on August 16, 2019.
Fiscal 2018 Financial Outlook
The
following table presents our expectations for selected fiscal 2018 financial reporting and operating results. Please note the following as it relates to these expectations:
• |
Fiscal Year 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share growth is expected to be approximately 11% to
16%, excluding the 53rd week that was included in the 2017
financial results. The 53rd week was estimated to have
positively impacted Fiscal Year 2017 adjusted diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.11.
|
• |
We are in the process of finalizing the anticipated financial impact from the adoption of the new
revenue recognition standard. The Fiscal 2018 Financial Outlook currently excludes the impact of this new standard. |
• |
The adoption of the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017” is expected to improve our adjusted
effective income tax rate by approximately 8% to 9% relative to Fiscal Year 2017. We intend to reinvest approximately 50% of our tax savings into additional field compensation, enhancements to our health and 401(k) benefits, as well as leadership
development and other training programs for our
employees. |

(1) |
The primary difference between our U.S. GAAP outlook and our adjusted outlook for both diluted earnings
per share and effective income tax rate is driven by anticipated adjustments in connection with our relocation and store closure initiatives. |
(2) |
Combined U.S. comparable restaurant sales outlook is based on a comparable calendar basis. For 2018,
this will compare the 52 weeks from January 1, 2018 through December 30, 2018 to the 52 weeks from January 2, 2017 through December 31, 2017. |
The following table is a reconciliation of our 2018 adjusted diluted
earnings per share outlook. In this table we have removed the impact of the 53rd week from 2017 results to improve
comparability.

The following table provides a comparison of the calendar days included in our 2018 calendar as compared to 2017. The dates are provided by quarter and for the full year on both a Fiscal Calendar Basis and
on a Comparable Calendar Basis.
We will report our financial statements for 2018 on a Fiscal Calendar Basis. Due to the 53rd week in Fiscal 2017, our financial statement comparisons will be 1 week different year over year. We expect the largest
impacts from this shift to occur in Q1 2018 as well as Q4 2018.
We will report our comparable restaurant sales on a Comparable Calendar Basis. We believe this will provide the most accurate assessment of our comparable restaurant sales
results.

Non-GAAP
Measures
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are
supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin,
(iii) Adjusted net income, (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings per share, (v) Adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margin and (vi) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding
margin.
We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other
companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these
adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that
the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive
plans.
These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace U.S. GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We
maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and
those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed
by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in tables four, five and six included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments
made in the current period and the corresponding prior
period.
As previously announced, based on a review of our non-GAAP presentations, we determined that, commencing with our results for the first fiscal quarter of 2017, when presenting non-GAAP measures, we will no
longer adjust for expenses incurred in connection with our remodel program or intangible amortization recorded as a result of the acquisition of our Brazil operations. We recast historical comparable periods to conform to the revised presentation.
In this release, we have also included forward-looking non-GAAP information under the caption “Fiscal
2018 Financial Outlook”. This relates to our current expectations for fiscal year 2018 adjusted diluted EPS and adjusted effective income tax rate. We have also provided information with
respect to our expectations for the corresponding GAAP
measures.
The differences between our disclosed GAAP and non-GAAP expectations are described to the extent practicable under “Fiscal 2018 Financial Outlook”. However, in addition to the general cautionary language regarding all
forward-looking statements included elsewhere in this release, we note that, because the items we adjust for in our non-GAAP measures may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance, they are by nature more difficult to
predict and estimate, so additional adjustments may occur in the remainder of the fiscal year and they may significantly impact our GAAP results.

_________________

Excludes restricted cash. |
(2) |
The Company has, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common
for many restaurant companies). The Company operates successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on Restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on its current liabilities, and its inventory turnover rates
require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures. |
(3) |
During the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2017, we repurchased 13.8 million shares of our
outstanding common
stock. |

Includes adjustments for the reversal of $3.2 million and $5.8 million of deferred rent liabilities for
the thirteen weeks and fiscal year ended December 25, 2016, respectively, related to approved closure initiatives, partially offset by $2.3 million in both periods of legal settlement costs related to the Sears matter, recorded in Other restaurant
operating, within the U.S segment. Also includes adjustments for the reversal of $0.1 million of deferred rent liabilities for the thirteen weeks ended December 25, 2016 related to approved closure initiatives, recorded in Other restaurant operating
within the International segment and losses of $0.3 million on the sale of certain properties related to our sale-leaseback initiative for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2016, recorded in Other restaurant operating, within the U.S.
segment. |
(2) |
The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level
operating margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period: |
(i) |
Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and
beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income. |
(ii) |
Depreciation and amortization which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level
assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants. |
(iii) |
General and administrative expense which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with
support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices. |
(iv) |
Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant
performance in a period. |
(3) |
Includes adjustments for the write-off of $5.7 million of deferred rent liabilities associated with
approved closure initiatives and our relocation program, recorded in Other restaurant operating, within the U.S. segment. |
