Outlook for 2022 and Guidance Policy:

The Company provides guidance of select information related to the Company’s financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year.

• Pricing in the mid-single digits;
• Mid-double digit commodity cost inflation, versus the previous guidance of low-double digit inflation;
• Mid-to-high single digit restaurant labor cost inflation;
• Selling, general and administrative costs between $142 and $147 million, versus the previous range of $145 and $155 million;
• Adjusted EBITDA of at least $65 million, versus a previous range of $80 to $90 million(4); and,
• Capital expenditures of $40 to $45 million, versus a previous range of $40 to $50 million.

Comparable restaurant revenue represents revenue from Company-owned restaurants that have operated five full quarters as of the end of the period presented.

The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please refer to the historical period Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included on Schedule III of this release.
