Meritage Reports 2022 Full-Year Preliminary Results; 2023 Outlook: Transformational Growth Ahead
February 14, 2023 10:16 ET
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Feb. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Meritage Hospitality Group Inc. (OTCQX: MHGU), the nation’s premier franchise restaurant operator, today reported preliminary financial results for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023.
2022 Full-Year Highlights:
Sales increased 8.5% to a record $626.0 million compared to $577.1 million last year.
Earnings from Operations were $14.0 million compared to $18.1 million last year.
Net Earnings were $9.1 million compared to $18.2 million last year. The 2022 fiscal year included one-time charges of $7.6 million associated with pre-opening, closing and disposition costs versus $4.0 million last year.
Consolidated EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) was $36.5 million compared to $47.5 million last year.
“Sales increased $48.9 million, driven by new store openings and strategic restaurant price increases aimed at offsetting high commodity and wage inflation experienced throughout the industry last year. Adjusting for one-time expenses, we had a solid year, highlighting the strength and resilience of our Wendy’s restaurants. During the year, we took advantage of store closures in several sub-optimal trade areas inherited from prior acquisitions. These strategic closures benefit and position the Company for stronger earnings growth going forward, as reflected in the earnings outlook for 2023. Our restaurant operations and real estate development teams continued to execute at the highest standards, including a strong development pipeline for new locations,” stated Meritage CEO, Robert E. Schermer, Jr.
Looking ahead to 2023, the Company is forecasting robust earnings growth, driven by new store openings and operating margin improvements throughout the year as cost inflation moderates. In conjunction with our growth plans, we recently signed a purchase agreement on an acquisition projected to close in the second quarter. Today the Company has a record number of new restaurant projects entitled for development and we look forward to opening the newly designed Wendy’s Global Next Gen restaurants. The new building design includes a fully modernized technology architecture with the ability to introduce voice AI and cloud technologies, new data management and restaurant level analytics tools. In addition, our recently opened Taco John’s restaurants are delivering very impressive sales for a newly introduced brand. Company growth plans include developing approximately 15 new Taco John’s locations in 2023.
The Company remains the only publicly traded company associated with the privately held Taco John’s franchise, providing investors with a unique investment means to participate in the Taco John’s national growth story.

Good Times Restaurants Reports Results for the First Fiscal Quarter Ending December 27, 2022
February 02, 2023 04:05 PM Eastern Standard Time
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM), operator of the Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard restaurant brands, today reported financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 27, 2022.
Key highlights of the Company’s financial results include:
Total Revenues for the quarter increased 1.5% to $33.4 million compared to fiscal 2022 first quarter
Total Restaurant Sales for Bad Daddy’s restaurants were $25.2 million for the quarter
Same Store Sales1 for company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased 2.4% for the quarter
Total Restaurant Sales for Good Times restaurants were $8.0 million for the quarter
Same Store Sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants increased 3.0% for the quarter
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders was $0.1 million for the quarter
Adjusted EBITDA2 (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter was $0.7 million
The Company ended the quarter with $6.9 million in cash and no long-term debt
Ryan M. Zink, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “During this first quarter of fiscal 2023, we continued to experience challenges with inflationary pressure, particularly at the Good Times brand where our cost of sales increased significantly compared to last year’s quarter with lesser increases throughout the rest of the P&L. These increases in cost of sales have been primarily driven by increases in beef cost, though we have experienced increased costs of other products including buns and burger toppings. We increased prices by 3.4% at the start of calendar 2023 which will partially offset the increases we have seen in cost of sales and should also temper the impact of the eight percent minimum wage increase in Colorado. Though our mission continues to be in long-term profitability, the extent of the input costs we are seeing, coupled with the longer-term forward outlook on beef prices is driving increased focus on cost savings at the restaurant level. We continue to invest in this brand and are on target with our signage replacement program where we expect to replace all of the signage throughout the system by the end of fiscal 2024.”

BRINKER INTERNATIONAL REPORTS SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2023 RESULTS; AND UPDATES FISCAL 2023 GUIDANCE
Feb 01, 2023, 06:45 ET
DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended December 28, 2022.
Second Quarter Fiscal 2023 Financial Highlights
Our results for the second quarter of fiscal 2023 were driven by a solid increase in company sales and improved restaurant operating margin. Our brand's ability to implement incremental menu pricing and drive positive item mix led to a 9.7% increase in comparable restaurant sales for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. Specifically, Maggiano's experienced strong holiday sales in all channels, including dining room, banquet and to go, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Restaurant operating margin improved over the first quarter of fiscal 2023 due primarily to the increase in sales and moderating commodity inflation. Commodity inflation for the quarter increased meaningfully year over year and will continue to be a headwind, although at a diminishing rate as we move through the rest of the fiscal year. We increased facility expenditures at our restaurants in the second quarter in alignment with our commitment to improving our guest experience and ensuring our restaurants are in good repair and well maintained.
"Our second quarter performance represents a positive step forward for our new approach," said Kevin Hochman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Brinker International. "Our focus on the Team Member and Guest experience, coupled with a more strategic pricing strategy, has allowed us to grow our top line and sequentially improve our margins. We will build on this solid foundation as we continue to implement our strategic initiatives and move the business forward."
