Outlook Fiscal Year 2022
The Company reiterated its fiscal year 2022 guidance and provided an outlook for its 2022 blended tax rate:
•Same-restaurant sales growth in the high-single digits with continued positive traffic
•Total revenue growth in excess of 15.0% relative to 2021
•Adjusted EBITDA* in the range of $67.0 million to $71.0 million
•Blended tax rate of 33.0% to 34.0%
•30 to 35 new company-owned restaurants and 8 to 13 new franchise-owned restaurants
•Capital expenditures in the range of $60.0 million to $70.0 million invested primarily in new restaurant projects, planned remodels and new in-restaurant technology
______________________
* We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, a reconciliation to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.
Q1 2022 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 36.1% to $173.1 million in Q1 2022 from $127.2 million in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) $44.3 million of higher restaurant sales from the Comparable Restaurant Base, driven by same-restaurant traffic growth of 21.9%, menu price increases and sustained off-premises sales, (ii) 20 company-owned restaurants that have opened since March 28, 2021 and (iii) certain dining room restrictions imposed pursuant to state and local government mandates during the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2021 in response to COVID-19.
Income from operations increased 101.8% to $7.8 million in Q1 2022 from $3.8 million in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) an increase in total revenues, partially offset by (ii) the increase in operating costs and expenses driven by our restaurant growth, higher prices for certain commodities and supplies, as well as increases in wages and staffing, in addition to (iii) the increase in general and administrative expenses mainly due to $2.2 million of stock based compensation expense from certain stock option awards that converted into time-based stock option awards upon the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in October 2021, as well as wage increases and additional employee headcount.
Income from operations margin increased to 4.5% in Q1 2022 from 3.1% in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) leveraging restaurant sales, (ii) menu price increases and (iii) rebates from our group health plan, partially offset by (iv) higher prices for pork and avocados, (v) the increase in restaurant-level wages and staffing and (vi) the increase in general and administrative expenses mainly due to additional stock-based compensation expense and insurance expense.
Restaurant level operating profit increased 52.5% to $33.4 million in Q1 2022 from $21.9 million in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) same-restaurant sales growth of 27.2%, driven by same-restaurant traffic growth of 21.9%, menu price increases and sustained off-premises sales, (ii) 20 new company-owned restaurants that have opened since March 28, 2021 and (iii) rebates from our group health plan, partially offset by (iv) higher prices for certain commodities and supplies and (v) the increase in wages.
Restaurant level operating profit margin increased to 19.6% in Q1 2022 from 17.5% in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) leveraging restaurant sales, (ii) menu price increases and (iii) rebates from our group health plan, partially offset by (iv) higher prices for pork and avocados and (v) the increase in wages and staffing.
Net income was $4.6 million in Q1 2022 as compared to Net loss of $(2.0) million in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) the increase in income from operations and (ii) the reduction in interest expense due to lower outstanding borrowings and lower interest rates from our new term facilities pursuant to our new credit agreement executed in October 2021, partially offset by (iii) income tax expense, which was mainly driven by forecasted 2022 pre-tax book income, the change in the valuation allowance for federal and state deferred tax assets, in addition to limitations on deductions of certain compensation.
2
Net income margin was 2.7% in Q1 2022 as compared to Net loss margin of (1.6)% in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) the increase in income from operations and (ii) the reduction in interest expense due to lower outstanding borrowings and lower interest rates, partially offset by (iii) income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 49.2% to $19.4 million in Q1 2022 from $13.0 million in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) the increase in restaurant level operating profit, partially offset by (ii) the increase in general and administrative expenses mainly due to wage increases and additional employee headcount.
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 11.2% in Q1 2022 from 10.2% in Q1 2021 primarily due to (i) the increase in restaurant level profit, partially offset by (ii) the increase in general and administrate expenses mainly due to additional insurance expense.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we use non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP include the following: (i) Adjusted EBITDA, (ii) Adjusted EBITDA margin, (iii) Restaurant level operating profit and (iv) Restaurant level operating profit margin (collectively, the “non-GAAP financial measures”). Our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures includes isolating the effects of some items that are either nonrecurring in nature or vary from period to period without any correlation to our ongoing core operating performance. Management believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides additional transparency of our operations, facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance, identifies operational trends and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by us in our financial and operational decision making. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, have important limitations as analytical tools and may not provide a complete understanding of our performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP, or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures should be reviewed in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin (i) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation, (ii) to evaluate the Company’s operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategies, (iii) internally as benchmarks to compare the Company’s performance to that of its competitors and (iv) to provide investors with additional transparency of the Company’s operations. The use of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as performance measures permit a comparative assessment of the Company’s operating performance relative to the Company’s performance based on the Company’s GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that are either nonrecurring in nature or vary from period to period without any correlation to the Company’s ongoing core operating performance.

Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin
Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin are not indicative of our overall results, and because they exclude corporate-level expenses, do not accrue directly to the benefit of our stockholders. We will continue to incur such expenses in the future. Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin are important measures we use to evaluate the performance and profitability of each operating restaurant, individually and in the aggregate and to make decisions regarding future spending and other operational decisions. We believe that Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin provide useful information about our operating results, identify operational trends and allow for transparency with respect to key metrics used by us in our financial and operational decision-making.
