Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

Taco Cabana Divestiture Completed During Third Quarter of 2021

Sequential Improvement in Pollo Tropical Third Quarter 2021 Comparable Restaurant Sales from Second Quarter 2021

Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Fiesta" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: FRGI), parent company of the Pollo Tropical® restaurant brand, today reported results for the 13-week third quarter, which ended on October 3, 2021, and provided a business update related to current operations.

Fiesta President and Chief Executive Officer Richard Stockinger said, "We announced the sale of Taco Cabana on July 1, and successfully closed the transaction on August 16. We are now debt free with a cash balance of $55.8 million as of October 3, and our leadership team is fully focused on achieving what we believe are significant growth opportunities for Pollo Tropical."

Stockinger added, "We were pleased with Pollo Tropical's third quarter sales performance despite reduced operating hours from staffing shortages throughout the quarter. Third quarter 2021 comparable restaurant sales were 13.8% vs. the third quarter of 2020, and increased to 0.9% vs. the third quarter of 2019, an improvement from the second quarter 2021 comparable restaurant sales vs. 2019 of -1.8%(1). Comparable restaurant sales results were much stronger in markets that had adequate staffing – those markets realized third quarter 2021 comparable restaurant sales of approximately 16.7% vs. the third quarter of 2020 and 4.3% vs. the third quarter of 2019. Our positive comparable restaurant sales growth compared to 2019 continued in October, and we are optimistic about accelerating sales momentum as we reach full staffing levels."

Stockinger continued, "Staff availability has been an industry-wide challenge. We have approached this issue with a very disciplined and forward thinking approach, and took proactive action that included wage rate increases and offering hiring incentives. In addition, we are enhancing our medical plans and increasing other benefits such as emergency child-care and commute assistance so that we can remain a preferred employer. We achieved adequate staffing levels at a total company level by September and continued to realize staffing improvement in October."

Stockinger added, "In order to improve margins after the wage rate increases, we implemented a phased approach to price increases of 3.7% in mid-third quarter with approximately 4% to 6% planned for the fourth quarter along with accelerating our ongoing actions to optimize restaurant labor efficiency. Those actions have already resulted in Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA(2) margin improvement, a non-GAAP financial measure, based on preliminary October 2021 results(3) compared to the third quarter of 2021. Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA margins declined during the third quarter compared to 2020 primarily due to hourly wage rate increases, short-term hiring incentives, and additional overtime and training. A large portion of those increases are short term only, estimated at $0.9 million, or approximately 100 basis points as a percentage of sales. Third quarter 2021 loss from continuing operations was $3.2 million compared to income from continuing operations in the third quarter of 2020 of $4.4 million."

Stockinger concluded, "As we look toward the balance of the year, we are focused on continuing efforts to be a preferred employer and accelerating our margin improvement above the third quarter of 2021. We are targeting Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA margins returning to the 18% to 20% range in the first half of 2022, barring unforeseen changes in our cost structure and operating environment. In addition, we will continue enhancing the customer experience across all service channels, further investing in our growing digital platform, and refining our brand proposition and new unit design features in remodel tests to drive future growth."

  • As a result of the 53rd week in fiscal 2020, our 2021 fiscal year began one week later than our 2020 fiscal year. Changes in comparable restaurant sales are impacted by the shift in weeks as the thirteen weeks ended October 3, 2021, are not directly comparable on a calendar basis to the thirteen weeks ended September 27, 2020.
  • For Pollo Tropical comparable restaurant sales comparisons in 2021 vs. 2019, the Fourth of July holiday timing had an impact on fiscal July. After adjusting for the holiday timing difference, July 2021 comparable restaurant sales vs. 2019 would have been approximately 170 basis points lower.
  • Third quarter comparable restaurant sales at Pollo Tropical vs 2019 benefited from the negative impact of Hurricane Dorian in 2019. After adjusting for the impact of the hurricane, 2021 third quarter comparable sales would have been approximately 160 basis points lower.

Cash and Liquidity

  • At the end of the third quarter of 2021, we had $52.0 million in cash and $3.8 million in restricted cash. We fully repaid our outstanding term loan borrowings on August 16, 2021, and our outstanding debt balance was $0.9 million of finance lease obligations at the end of the third quarter of 2021.
  • Our cash balance decreased from the second quarter balance of $65.8 million at July 4, 2021 to a third quarter balance of $52.0 million at October 3, 2021.

Third Quarter 2021 Pollo Tropical Results

Total Pollo Tropical restaurant sales increased 13.4% to $88.0 million in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $77.6 million in the third quarter of 2020 primarily due to a comparable restaurant sales increase of 13.8%. Pollo Tropical dine-in and counter take-out comparable restaurant sales increased 45% from the third quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2021 due primarily to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on dine-in traffic and closures of our dining rooms during a portion of the third quarter of 2020. The increase in dine in channel sales was supplemented by off-premise channel growth. Third quarter 2021 drive-thru comparable restaurant sales were flat compared to the third quarter of 2020, while third quarter 2021 delivery comparable restaurant sales were up 32.7% compared to the third quarter of 2020. The increase in comparable restaurant sales resulted from a net impact of product/channel mix and pricing of 9.6% and an increase in comparable restaurant transactions of 4.2%. The increase in product/channel mix and pricing was driven primarily by increases in delivery and drive-thru average check, and menu price increases of 5.7%. During the third quarter of 2021, Pollo Tropical experienced increased hourly staffing challenges due to workforce availability which we believe had a negative impact on sales throughout the quarter, driven in part by reduced operating hours.

Adjusted EBITDA for Pollo Tropical decreased to $6.3 million in the third quarter of 2021 from $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, a decrease of (40.5)%. The decrease was primarily due to higher labor costs, advertising expenses, general and administrative expenses, and repair and maintenance costs, partially offset by the impact of higher restaurant sales, and improved cost of sales margins. Higher labor costs were driven primarily by hourly wage rate increases, short-term hiring incentives, and additional overtime and training. We believe that approximately $0.9 million of the labor cost increases for overtime and staffing-related incentives are short term in nature. We plan to take price increases to offset labor costs in a phased approach in order to minimize the negative impact on traffic. A 3.7% price increase was implemented in late August, and additional pricing action is planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) for Pollo Tropical as a percentage of restaurant sales decreased, with third quarter Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of restaurant sales of 14.8% in 2021 compared to 21.2% in 2020 and 20.1% in 2019 (see non-GAAP reconciliation table below). Continuing Operations Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $3.7 million compared to $8.2 million in 2020.

(a)

 

Restaurants are included in comparable restaurant sales after they have been open for 18 months or longer. Restaurants are excluded from comparable restaurant sales for any fiscal month in which the restaurant was closed for more than five days. Comparable restaurant sales are compared to the same period in the prior year.

(b)

 

Comparable restaurants are restaurants that have been open for 18 months or longer. Average sales for comparable Company-owned restaurants are derived by dividing comparable restaurant sales for such period for the applicable segment by the average number of comparable restaurants for the applicable segment for such period.

(c)

 

Non-comparable restaurants are restaurants that have been open for less than 18 months, or that were temporarily closed during the period. Average sales for new Company-owned restaurants are derived by dividing new restaurant sales for such period for the applicable segment by the average number of new restaurants for the applicable segment for such period.

(d)

 

Average sales for total Company-owned restaurants are derived by dividing restaurant sales for such period for the applicable segment by the average number of open restaurants for the applicable segment for such period.

(e)

 

Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see the reconciliation from net income (loss) to Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA in the table titled "Supplemental Non-GAAP Information."

Supplemental Non-GAAP Information

The following table sets forth certain unaudited supplemental financial data for the periods indicated

(In thousands):

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (including Continuing Operations Adjusted EBITDA) and Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) attributable to the applicable operating segments before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other lease charges, goodwill impairment, closed restaurant rent expense, net of sublease income, stock-based compensation expense, other expense (income), net, and certain significant items for each segment that are related to strategic changes and/or are not related to the ongoing operation of our restaurants as set forth in the reconciliation table below. Adjusted EBITDA for each of our segments includes an allocation of general and administrative expenses associated with administrative support for executive management, information systems and certain finance, legal, supply chain, human resources, construction and other administrative functions. Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA excluding franchise royalty revenues and fees, pre-opening costs and general and administrative expenses (including corporate-level general and administrative expenses). The "Other" column includes corporate costs that were allocated to Taco Cabana and are not included in discontinued operations.

Adjusted EBITDA for each of our segments is the primary measure of segment profit or loss used by our chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to our segments and assessing their performance. In addition, management believes that Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA, when viewed with our results of operations calculated in accordance with GAAP and our reconciliation of net income (loss) to Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-level Adjusted EBITDA (i) provide useful information about our operating performance and period-over-period changes, (ii) provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business, and (iii) permit investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. However, such measures are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of operating performance or liquidity. Also, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled captions of other companies.

a)

 

The provision for (benefit from) income taxes related to the adjustments was calculated using the Company's combined federal statutory and estimated state rate of 25.0% for the periods ending October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020. In the three months ended April 4, 2021, we recorded an out-of-period adjustment totaling $1.5 million related to tax depreciation on certain assets placed into service several years prior to the formation of Fiesta in 2011, of which $0.6 million is attributable to a change in tax rates as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions that allow net operating losses in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back for up to five years and eliminates the 80% taxable income limitation on net operating loss deductions for 2018 through 2020. The CARES Act also includes technical amendments that are retroactive to 2018 which permit certain assets to be classified as qualified improvement property and expensed immediately. These changes allowed us to record an incremental benefit of $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2020, which represents the impact of carrying net operating losses from 2018 and 2019 back to years with a higher federal corporate income tax rate and a $1.9 million benefit as a result of reclassifying certain assets as qualified improvement property as permitted by the CARES Act and other changes to depreciation methods for certain assets made in conjunction with a cost segregation study conducted prior to filing our 2019 federal income tax return.

(b)

 

We recorded adjustments totaling $0.4 million for the nine months ended October 3, 2021, to our valuation allowance against deferred income tax assets primarily related to changes in our deferred income tax assets and the expected timing of the reversal of these temporary differences, which included a $0.9 million increase in our valuation allowance as a result of changes in our net deferred tax liabilities related to the out-of-period adjustment in the first quarter of 2021. We recorded a $3.2 million and $1.2 million reduction to our valuation allowance for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, respectively, related to reclassifying certain assets as qualified improvement property and filing our 2019 federal income tax returns as well as other changes in our deferred income tax assets where it was determined to be more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will not be realized through the reversal of existing deferred tax liabilities.

(c)

 

Impairment and other lease charges for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, primarily relate to impairment of equipment from previously impaired and closed restaurants. Additionally, impairment and other lease charges for the nine months ended October 3, 2021 include gains from lease terminations of $(0.4) million.

 

 

Impairment and other lease charges for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, consist of impairment charges of $2.6 million and $7.3 million, respectively, and other lease charges (gains) of $(0.2) million and $0.7 million, respectively. The impairment charges for the three months ended September 27, 2020 primarily relate to the write-down of saucing islands and self-service soda machines that were removed from dining rooms as a result of COVID-19. For the nine months ended September 27, 2020, impairment charges also include the impairment of assets from three underperforming Pollo Tropical restaurants, two of which were closed in the third quarter of 2020. For the three months ended September 27, 2020, other lease charges primarily related to a gain from a lease termination of $(0.2) million. For the nine months ended September 27, 2020, other lease charges also included lease termination charges of $0.9 million for restaurant locations we decided not to develop.

(d)

 

Closed restaurant rent expense, net of sublease income for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, primarily consists of closed restaurant lease costs of $2.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, partially offset by sublease income of $(1.6) million and $(4.5) million, respectively. Closed restaurant rent expense, net of sublease income for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily consists of closed restaurant lease costs of $2.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, partially offset by sublease income of $(1.4) million and $(3.6) million, respectively.

(e)

 

Other expense (income), net for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021, primarily consists of costs for the removal, transfer, and storage of equipment from closed restaurants and other closed restaurant related costs. Other expense (income), net for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020, primarily consists of total gains of $(1.6) million on the sale-leaseback of two restaurant properties and the sale of one restaurant property partially offset by the write-off of site development costs of $0.6 million and costs for the removal, transfer, and storage of equipment from closed restaurants and other closure related costs.

(f)

 

Restructuring costs and retention bonuses for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2020 include severance costs related to terminations in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(g)

 

Digital and brand repositioning costs for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2021 and September 27, 2020, include consulting costs related to repositioning the digital experience for our customers.
