Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. Reports Results for the Fiscal Second Quarter Ended July 14, 2024
Announces Credit Agreement Amendment

(NASDAQ: RRGB) ("Red Robin" or the "Company"), a full-service restaurant chain serving an innovative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended July 14, 2024.

•Total revenues are $300.2 million, an increase of $1.5 million.

•Net loss is $9.5 million, compared to net income of $3.9 million last year.
•Adjusted EBITDA(2) is $11.8 million compared to $15.5 million last year.
•Subsequent to the close of the second quarter, executed an amendment to the credit agreement that revises financial covenants and expands revolver capacity.
Highlights for the Year to Date Period of Fiscal 2024, Compared to the Year to Date Period of Fiscal 2023:
•Total revenues are $688.7 million, a decrease of $27.8 million.
•Comparable restaurant revenue(1) declined 4.0% excluding a deferred revenue benefit led by the change in the Company's loyalty program. Including this benefit, Comparable restaurant revenue(1) declined 3.2%.

(2) See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results" below for more details.
G.J. Hart, Red Robin’s President and Chief Executive Officer said, “Our results for the second quarter and our reduced guidance for the year are not what we expected when we last communicated in May, with the slowdown experienced in the broader restaurant industry masking the substantial progress we continue to make against our North Star plan.”
Hart continued, “That said, we have seen multiple proof points that indicate the initiatives we implemented over the past 20 months have elevated the guest experience. This is showcased best by guest satisfaction scores increasing to levels Red Robin has not achieved since 2016; comparable restaurant revenue exceeding the industry average during the past 3 months, as measured by Black Box; and traffic growth in line with the industry. In each of the trailing 3 weeks, despite the challenging environment, comparable restaurant revenue has returned to marginally positive. With this progress, we continue to expect to meet or exceed the industry average on traffic through the remainder of the year.”
Hart concluded, “Collectively, the actions we are taking and the great feedback we continue to receive from guests and team members, give us confidence we are on the path to long-term success for this beloved brand.”

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of July 14, 2024, Red Robin had outstanding borrowings under its credit facility of $167.9 million and liquidity of approximately $48.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under its credit facility.
On August 21, 2024, the Company entered into the second amendment to our credit agreement (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment among other things: provides certain relief from the financial covenant by increasing the required maximum net total leverage ratio beginning in the third quarter of 2024 through the third quarter of 2025; increases the aggregate revolving commitments by $15.0 million to $40.0 million through the third quarter of 2025; removes the variable pricing grid and increases the applicable margin on all term loans and revolving loans that are SOFR-based loans to 7.50% per annum and that are ABR-based loans to 6.50% per annum; and adds additional reporting requirements.
The Second Amendment provides additional flexibility to support the Company's execution of its North Star business strategy. Additional information on the terms of the Second Amendment can be found in the Company's Form 10-Q for the second quarter expected to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission today.
Outlook for Fiscal 2024 and Guidance Policy
The Company provides guidance of select information related to its financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. The projections are as of this date and the Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement this information.
The Company's updated guidance for fiscal 2024 is:
•Total revenue of approximately $1.250 billion;
•Restaurant level operating profit of 11.0% to 11.5%, inclusive of investments in the Guest experience and rent expense related to the sale leaseback transactions;
•Adjusted EBITDA of $40.0 million to $45.0 million;
•Capital expenditures of $25 million to $30 million.
Fiscal 2024 includes 52 weeks versus 53 weeks in fiscal 2023.
Providing Income (loss) from operations and Net income (loss) guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") throughout this press release, the Company has provided Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share - diluted, which are non-GAAP measurements. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share-diluted are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures give the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company, and are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income (loss) and Adjusted net income (loss) per share-diluted exclude the impact of non-operating or nonrecurring items including changes in estimates, asset impairments, litigation contingencies, gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, restaurant and office closure costs, gains on sale leaseback transactions, severance and executive transition costs and other non-recurring, non-cash or discrete items; net of income tax impacts. Other companies may define these non-GAAP measures differently, and as a result may not be directly comparable to those of other companies. Management believes this supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein.
The Company believes restaurant level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant level operating profit to be income from operations less franchise revenue and other revenue, plus other charges (gains), net, pre-opening costs, selling costs, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization. The measure includes restaurant level occupancy costs that include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, pre-opening costs, as well as, other charges (gains), net because these costs are non-operating or nonrecurring and therefore not related to the ongoing operations of its restaurants. Restaurant level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income (loss) from operations as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the Company's industry.
