Our franchisees generated sales of approximately $164.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $298.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
DALLAS, Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) today announced results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 ended September 23, 2020 and provided a business update related to the second quarter of fiscal 2021.
"We continue to deliver impressive results, returning to positive earnings in the first quarter," said Wyman Roberts, CEO and President. "The team has responded to this unprecedented environment by unlocking organic growth through the introduction of It's Just Wings, skillfully managing our P&L, and further reducing our debt levels, all resulting in a sustainable growth model that serves both our guests and our shareholders."
Fiscal 2021 Highlights - First Quarter
Financial metrics for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were negatively impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Total revenues declined due to capacity limitations and personal safety preferences, partially offset by increased off-premise sales and incremental capacity from the acquisition of 116 Chili's restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on September 5, 2019. For non-GAAP information and related reconciliations, refer to the tables and information at the end of this earnings release.
- Net income per diluted share, on a GAAP basis, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 41.0% to $0.23 compared to $0.39 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020
- Net income per diluted share, excluding special items, in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 31.7% to $0.28 compared to $0.41 in the first quarter of fiscal 2020
- Net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $82.8 million, and capital expenditures totaled $13.6 million resulting in free cash flow of $69.2 million
- Net repayments of $46.6 million were made on the revolving credit facility during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 resulting in total available liquidity of $632.5 million as of September 23, 2020

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Guidance
We are providing a financial outlook for the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The uncertainties created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
- Comparable restaurant sales are expected to be in the negative mid-single digit range
- Net income per diluted share, excluding special items, is expected to be in the range of $0.40 to $0.60
- Weighted average diluted shares is expected to be in the range of 45.0 million to 46.0 million
Fiscal 2021 is a 53-week year, and includes an extra operating week in the fourth quarter.
We are unable to reliably forecast special items such as restaurant impairments, restaurant closures, reorganization charges and legal settlements without unreasonable effort. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures. If special items are reported during fiscal 2021, reconciliations to the appropriate GAAP measures will be provided.
First Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Operating Performance
Segment Performance
At the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021 substantially all our Company-owned restaurant dining rooms or patios were open in some capacity. Capacity restrictions related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic vary by location due to state and local mandates. These capacity restrictions and personal safety preferences have resulted in lower dining room guest traffic and many guests have shifted to our off-premise dining options. This shift has changed the staffing requirements in the restaurants and other expenses associated with off-premise which are noted below.

Chili's and Maggiano's First Quarter 2021 include the results of It's Just Wings, a virtual brand launched nationally in June 2020 |
Chili's
- Chili's Company sales decreased primarily due to lower dining room sales, partially offset by increased off-premise sales including It's Just Wings, and incremental capacity from the acquisition of 116 Chili's restaurants in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 on September 5, 2019
- Chili's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to lower advertising expenses, lower manager and hourly labor expenses, and lower repairs and maintenance expenses. These decreases were partially offset by sales deleverage and higher expenses primarily related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales
Maggiano's
- Maggiano's Company sales decreased primarily due to lower dining room sales, partially offset by increased off-premise sales
- Maggiano's Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, increased primarily due to sales deleverage and higher expenses primarily related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales. These increases were partially offset by lower manager and hourly labor expenses, repairs and maintenance expenses, credit card fees, utilities expenses, advertising expenses, favorable menu item mix and favorable menu pricing
Franchise and other revenues
- Franchise and other revenues include royalties and advertising fees that are earned based on franchise sales. Our franchisees generated sales of approximately $164.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $298.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. This decrease is primarily due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our domestic and global franchise restaurants, and the acquisition of 116 Chili's restaurants from a franchisee in the first quarter of fiscal 2020
- Maggiano's Franchise and other revenues decreased primarily due to lower banquet volume
Income Taxes
- On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate was a benefit of 4.9% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to an expense of 11.3% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily driven by excess tax benefits associated with stock-based compensation and lower income before income taxes. Excluding the impact of special items (see non-GAAP reconciliation below for details), the effective income tax rate decreased to 9.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 10.5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020

Chili's franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited); however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe including Chili's franchise comparable restaurant sales provides investors information regarding brand performance that is relevant to current operations. |

Restaurant operating margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant operating margin is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall Company performance and profitability because this measure does not directly accrue benefit to the shareholders due to the nature of costs excluded. We define Restaurant operating margin as Company sales less Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses. We believe this metric provides a more useful comparison between periods and enables investors to focus on the performance of restaurant-level operations by excluding revenues not related to food and beverage sales at Company-owned restaurants, corporate General and administrative expenses, Depreciation and amortization, and Other (gains) and charges.
Restaurant operating margin excludes Franchise and other revenues which are earned primarily from franchise royalties, advertising fees, and other non-food and beverage revenues streams such as delivery service income, gift card breakage, banquet service charges and digital entertainment revenues. Depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which are related to restaurant-level assets, are excluded because such expenses represent historical costs which do not reflect current cash outlays for the restaurants. General and administrative expenses include primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices and are therefore excluded. We believe that excluding special items, included within Other (gains) and charges, from Restaurant operating margin provides investors with a clearer perspective of the Company's ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.
