Dave & Buster’s Achieves First Quarter Revenue Growth of 9.2% and EPS of $1.04

Reaffirms Fiscal 2018 Guidance on Revenue, Net Income and EBITDADave & Buster’s reported first quarter financials for 2018, highlights included a 9.2% increase in revenue. However, comparable store sales decreased 4.9% and EBITDA decreased 2.3%. The company also reported opening of 6 new stores. June 11, 2018--(Dave&Buster’s) Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc., (NASDAQ:PLAY), ("Dave & Buster's" or "the Company"), an owner and operator of entertainment and dining venues, today announced financial results for its first quarter 2018, which ended on May 6, 2018. The Company also affirmed its financial outlook on several key metrics for fiscal 2018. Key highlights from the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017 include: 

  1. Total revenues increased 9.2% to $332.2 million from $304.1 million, or 9.7% on a comparable week basis*.

  2. Opened six new stores compared to four new stores.

  3. Comparable store sales decreased 4.9%.

  4. Net income of $42.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, vs. net income of $42.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share.

  5. EBITDA decreased 2.3% to $86.1 million from $88.2 million while Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.4% to $95.9 million from $95.6 million.

  6. Excluding the 2017 use tax settlement** in Q1 2017, and on a comparable week basis, EBITDA increased 1.8%, while Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.0%.

  7. Pre-opening costs increased $2.6 million to $7.1 million from $4.5 million. *Comparable week basis: Fiscal 2017 was a 53-week year, resulting in a one-week calendar shift in fiscal year 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, this calendar shift had an unfavorable impact on total revenue of $1.4 million, EBITDA of $1.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million due to seasonality (one less high-volume “winter week” this year versus last year). **2017 use tax settlement: Q1 2017 results included $2.5 million of amusement cost reductions ($1.6 million net of taxes or $0.04 per diluted share) resulting from the favorable settlement of a multi-year use tax audit in Texas. “We continue to be pleased with our new store performance and are confident in our unit growth guidance for the year. We opened six stores during the quarter, our fastest pace so far, and these openings include a few that have delivered some of the highest volume openings in our history. The 2017 class of stores is also performing well for us, on track to achieve strong first year returns in line with our recent classes of stores. At the same time, evolving the brand and improving comparable store performance is a priority for us. The upcoming launch of our proprietary virtual reality platform, and the new 100% Angus Butcher’s Blend burger are just two examples of improvements in our overall offering,” said Steve King, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered near double-digit revenue growth, and drove EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 2% and 4% respectively on a comparable week basis, excluding the 2017 use tax settlement. While comparable store sales declined in the first quarter this year, I’m confident that our operating team’s continued focus on execution will drive improved results over time,” said Brian Jenkins, Chief Financial Officer. Share Repurchase Activity During the first quarter of 2018, we repurchased approximately 606,000 shares for $27.4 million, with an additional 247,000 shares for $10.1 million through June 6, 2018 during the second quarter.
