--- ---
· Diluted<br> earnings per share increased to $3.08 from $2.74 in the prior year as higher restaurant margin<br> dollars were partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses. Diluted earnings<br> per share also benefitted from increased share repurchases;

Jerry Morgan, Chief Executive Officer of Texas Roadhouse, Inc. commented, “We are pleased to announce another profitable quarter as our operators continue to focus on providing a legendary guest experience in spite of higher costs in this inflationary environment. This focus, along with our value proposition, keeps us well positioned to continue to grow both our top and bottom lines.”

Morgan continued, “As we transition into 2023, we are excited about the systemwide store growth we expect to see for all three brands. This store growth along with our planned franchise acquisitions and a disciplined approach to capital allocation reflects our commitment to driving shareholder value.”

Franchise Acquisitions

The Company has tentatively agreed to acquire eight domestic franchise restaurants with a targeted close date as of the beginning of our 2023 fiscal year. These acquisitions are subject to the completion of customary negotiations and due diligence.

2022 Outlook

Comparable restaurant sales at company restaurants for the first four weeks of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 increased 8.3% compared to the prior year. In addition, the Company implemented a menu price increase of approximately 2.9% in late October.

Management reiterated the following expectations for 2022:

· Positive<br> comparable restaurant sales growth including the benefit of menu pricing actions;
· Store<br> week growth of approximately 6% including the impact of the eight franchise locations acquired<br> in 2022;
· Wage<br> and other labor inflation of approximately 8%;
· An<br> effective income tax rate of approximately 14% excluding the impact of any legislative changes<br> enacted; and,
· Total<br> capital expenditures of approximately $230 million including three relocations.

Management updated the following expectations for 2022:

· As<br> many as 23 Texas Roadhouse and Bubba's 33 company restaurant openings; and,
· Commodity<br> cost inflation of approximately 10.5%.

2023 Outlook

Management provided the following initial expectations for 2023:

· Positive<br> comparable restaurant sales growth including the benefit of 2022 menu pricing actions;
· Approximately<br> 30 Texas Roadhouse and Bubba’s 33 company restaurant openings;
· Store<br> week growth of approximately 5% excluding the impact of potential franchise acquisitions;
· Commodity<br> cost inflation of 5% to 6%;
· Wage<br> and other labor inflation of 5% to 6%;
· An<br> effective income tax rate of approximately 15% excluding the impact of any legislative changes<br> enacted; and,
· Total<br> capital expenditures of approximately $265 million.

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 food and beverage costs, labor, rent and other operating costs. Restaurant margin also includes sales and operating costs related to the Company’s non-royalty based retail initiatives. 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.
