ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

On August 3, 2020, Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  Attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the press release.

ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

SupplementalRisk Factor

The Company is supplementing the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, with the following risk factor. Careful consideration should be given to the risks described below. If any of the risks and uncertainties described below actually occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.

Thenovel coronavirus ("COVID-19")pandemic has disrupted and is expected to continue to disrupt our business, which has and could continue to materially affect ourbusiness, financial condition, and results of operations, for an extended period of time.

On March 13, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic") was declared a National Public Health Emergency. Shortly after the national emergency declaration, state and local officials began placing restrictions on restaurants, some of which allowed To-Go or curbside service only, while others limited capacity in the dining room. By March 31, 2020, the last day of our Q1 2020 fiscal quarter, all of our domestic company and franchise restaurants were under state or local order which only allowed for To-Go or curbside service. Beginning in early May 2020, state and local guidelines began to allow dining rooms to re-open, typically at a limited capacity. By June 30, 2020, the last day of our Q2 2020 fiscal quarter, 499 of our 521 company-owned restaurants had re-opened their dining rooms under various limited capacity restrictions. Our remaining restaurants, with the exception of one that is temporarily closed, are limited to outdoor dining and/or To-Go or curbside service only. As of August 3, 2020, 499 of our 523 company-owned restaurants had re-opened their dining rooms under various limited capacity restrictions.

We continue to monitor state and local plans as they move along their phased approach to re-open their economies. We have developed a hybrid operating model that accommodates our limited capacity dining rooms together with enhanced To-Go, which includes a curbside and/or drive-up operating model, as permitted by local guidelines. This includes design changes to our building to better accommodate the increased To-Go sales and the expansion of outdoor seating areas where allowed. We also installed booth partitions in all of our restaurants as an added safety measure for our guests. In addition, we have increased our already strict sanitation requirements, are conducting daily health and temperature checks for all employees before they begin their shift and are requiring personal protective equipment to be worn by all restaurant employees at all times. As we work through the re-opening phases at each of our locations, the safety of our employees and guests remains our top priority.

As a result of the temporary dining room closures and the subsequent limited capacity restrictions for in-person dining, we have experienced a significant decrease in traffic which has impacted our operating results. While many of our dining rooms have re-opened, the capacity restrictions severely limit the number of guests we can serve. In addition, while we have seen significant sales growth in our To-Go program, even in those stores with dining rooms re-opened, we currently do not expect these sales will generate a similar profit margin to our normal operating model. We expect our operating results to continue to be impacted until at least such time that state and local restrictions are lifted, and our dining rooms can re-open at full capacity. We cannot predict how long the pandemic will last, how long it will take until all state and local restrictions will be lifted, or if dining rooms will be required to close again in areas severely impacted by the pandemic. In addition, we cannot predict the overall impact on the economy or consumer spending habits.

2

The pandemic has also adversely affected our ability to open new restaurants. At the onset of the pandemic, we delayed construction on all restaurants that were not substantially complete. As of June 30, 2020, 14 restaurants, including one relocation site, had either resumed construction or were approved to resume construction. These changes may have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business, particularly if we delay construction on these sites again in future periods.

In March 2020, we borrowed $190.0 million under our Amended Credit Agreement in order to enhance our financial flexibility. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides us the option to increase the credit facility by $200.0 million subject to certain limitations, including approval by the syndicate of lenders, set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement. On May 11, 2020, as a precautionary measure to further enhance financial flexibility, we amended the revolving credit facility to increase the amount available under the facility by $82.5 million and drew down $50.0 million of this amount. If the pandemic continues to adversely impact our business for a significant period of time, we may need to further increase the credit facility and/or seek other sources of liquidity. There is no guarantee that we can increase the credit facility or that additional liquidity will be readily available or available at favorable terms.

Our suppliers could be adversely impacted by the pandemic. If our supplier’s employees are unable to work, whether because of illness, quarantine, limitations on travel or other government restrictions in connection with the pandemic, we could face shortages of food items or other supplies at our restaurants and our operations and sales could be adversely impacted by such interruptions.

The temporary closure of our dining rooms and subsequent re-opening at limited capacity has resulted in decreased staffing levels at our restaurants. We have taken compensation actions to support certain restaurant employees during the pandemic, but those actions may not be enough to compensate them until such time that our dining rooms can re-open at full capacity. Those restaurant employees might seek and find other employment during the interruption, which could have a material adverse effect on our ability to properly staff our restaurants with experienced team members once we resume our normal operations.

Our restaurant operations could be further disrupted if a significant number of restaurants have employees diagnosed with COVID-19 resulting in some or all of the restaurant’s employees being quarantined and our restaurant facilities having to be disinfected. If a significant percentage of our workforce is unable to work, whether because of illness or required quarantine, our operations may be negatively impacted which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Exhibit 99.1

Texas Roadhouse, Inc. AnnouncesSecond Quarter 2020 Results and Provides Business Update

LOUISVILLE, KY. (August 3, 2020) – Texas Roadhouse, Inc. (NasdaqGS: TXRH), today announced financial results for the 13 and 26 week periods ended June 30, 2020 and provided a business update in response to the continued COVID-19 pandemic.

Statement from Kent Taylor, Founderand CEO

Let me start by thanking our operators and support teams for their hard work, dedication, courage, and commitment during the most challenging times we’ve experienced. Our operators were able to quickly transition nearly 600 full-service restaurants to a To-Go only model in March and then transition the majority of those same restaurants back to a hybrid operating model of limited capacity dining rooms together with enhanced To-Go service in May and June.  Along the way, they came up with creative ways to drive traffic through increased outdoor dining, executing To-Go, managing wait times and other initiatives, with a priority of keeping our employees and guests safe.

As we began re-opening our dining rooms in May, it was clear that our guests were excited to return. Since then, we have been encouraged to see our sales trend favorably through a solid combination of re-opened dining rooms, outdoor dining, and strong To-Go sales.  With these increased sales, we have also seen our cashflows steadily improve. While we know there are challenges that remain relating to the pandemic and its impact on our business, I know that our operators will continue to face them head on.

Financial Results

Financial results for the 13 and 26 week periods ended June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Second Quarter Year to Date
($000's) 2020 2019 % Change 2020 2019 % Change

--- ---

Business Update

Comparable restaurant sales during the second quarter were impacted by the re-opening of dining rooms across the country. For the April period, the Company operated under a fully To-Go model, while the May and June periods included various capacity restrictions in the dining rooms. By period, the comparable restaurant sales and average weekly sales for all company restaurants were as follows:

April May June Q2 2020
All restaurants
Comparable restaurant sales (46.7 )% (41.9 )% (14.1 )% (32.8 )%
Average weekly sales $ 54,937 $ 62,343 $ 88,874 $ 70,281
Number of restaurants - end of period 518 519 521 521
Limited capacity restaurants (1)
Comparable restaurant sales (28.0 )% (8.2 )% (13.7 )%
Average weekly sales N/A $ 80,235 $ 96,623 $ 92,227
To-Go sales as a % of average weekly sales 41.9 % 25.9 % 29.7 %
Number of restaurants - end of period 340 499 499

(1)  Includes the full weekly sales for all restaurants with dining rooms re-opened at limited capacity as of the end of a week and excludes those restaurants that were operating as To-Go or outdoor dining only.

For the July period, comparable restaurant sales at company restaurants decreased 13.0% and average weekly sales at all restaurants were $86,062. The decrease in average weekly sales was impacted by the decision of some states to further limit capacity or require dining rooms to be re-closed, the negative impact of the shift in the Fourth of July holiday, and normal seasonality. As of the end of July, over 95% of company restaurants had dining rooms operating in a limited capacity. For the July period, comparable restaurant sales per week and the average weekly sales for all company restaurants were as follows:

Week Ended
7/7/2020 7/14/2020 7/21/2020 7/28/2020 July
All restaurants
Comparable restaurant sales (16.9 )% (12.3 )% (13.1 )% (9.9 )% (13.0 )%
Average weekly sales $ 79,630 $ 86,704 $ 87,835 $ 90,080 $ 86,062
Number of restaurants - end of period 523 523 523 523 523
Limited capacity restaurants (1)
Comparable restaurant sales (14.9 )% (10.2 )% (11.4 )% (8.4 )% (11.2 )%
Average weekly sales $ 81,725 $ 89,063 $ 89,377 $ 91,364 $ 87,882
To-Go sales as a % of average weekly sales 25.4 % 25.3 % 25.7 % 25.0 % 25.3 %
Number of restaurants - end of period 497 490 497 499 499

(1)  Includes the full weekly sales for all restaurants with dining rooms re-opened at limited capacity as of the end of the week and excludes those restaurants that were operating as To-Go or outdoor dining only.

For the second quarter, the Company’s cash on hand position increased approximately $51.9 million due to working capital inflows, proceeds from the revolving credit facility and increased sales performance, partially offset by cash used for capital expenditures. At the current level of restaurant sales, the Company expects to continue to generate cash from operations and continue restaurant development. As of today, the Company has opened 10 restaurants and has resumed construction on an additional 12 restaurants. The Company currently expects to open as many as six restaurants in the third quarter, with two of these already opened. To the extent that state and local guidelines begin to further reduce capacity and/or re-close dining rooms, the Company will evaluate further development and reduce capital expenditures accordingly.

2020 Outlook

As previously announced, due to the current unprecedented global market and economic conditions, the Company withdrew the financial outlook for the fiscal year ending December 29, 2020. The Company cannot yet reasonably estimate the impact to the business and therefore cannot provide an updated outlook.

Non-GAAP Measures

The Company prepares the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Within the press release, the Company makes reference to restaurant margin (in dollars and as a percentage of restaurant and other sales). Restaurant margin represents restaurant and other sales less restaurant-level operating costs, including cost of sales, labor, rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall company performance and profitability in that this measure does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders due to the nature of the costs excluded. Restaurant margin is widely regarded as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. In calculating restaurant margin, the Company excludes certain non-restaurant-level costs that support operations, including pre-opening and general and administrative expenses, but do not have a direct impact on restaurant-level operational efficiency and performance. The Company also excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which relates to restaurant-level assets, as it represents a non-cash charge for the investment in restaurants. The Company also excludes impairment and closure expense as it believes this provides a clearer perspective of ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the industry. A reconciliation of income from operations to restaurant margin is included in the accompanying financial tables.
