Conference Call Wednesday, February 10, 2016, at 3:00 p.m. MST/5:00 p.m. EST
 
 
(DENVER, CO) Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM), operator of Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, a regional quick service restaurant chain focused on fresh, high quality, all natural products and Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, a full service, upscale concept today announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2015.
 
Key highlights of the Company’s financial results include:
 
 
·
Same store sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants increased 4.8% for the quarter on top of last year’s increase of 8.0%, which makes twenty-two consecutive quarters of same store sales growth
 
 
·
Same store sales for company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants increased 6.5% for the quarter
 
 
·
Total revenues increased 76% to $13,838,000 for the quarter
 
 
·
Restaurant Level Operating Profit (a non-GAAP measure) for Good Times restaurants increased $60,000 or 5.8% over last year for the quarter*
 
 
·
The Company opened two new Bad Daddy’s restaurants during the quarter and has opened one additional restaurant after the quarter ended
 
 
·
Sales for the Bad Daddy’s restaurants for the quarter were $6,709,000 and Bad Daddy’s Restaurant Level Operating Profit (a non-GAAP measure) was $976,000 or 14.5% as a percent of sales *
 
 
·
Adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP measure) for the quarter increased 109% to $245,000 from $117,000 for the quarter*
 
 
·
The Company ended the quarter with $9.0 million in cash
 
*For a reconciliation of restaurant level operating profit and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP and a discussion of why the Company considers them useful, see the financial information schedules accompanying this release.
 
Boyd Hoback, President & CEO said “We continue to make good progress in both brands and in laying the foundation for accelerated growth.  Our growth in Good Times’ same store sales this quarter represents a three year compound growth rate of approximately 33%, so we are obviously very happy with that and, as expected, our growth rate is moderating to the low to mid-single digits.”
 
Hoback concluded, “We have opened three new Bad Daddy’s restaurants so far this fiscal year.  While it’s still early, we are pleased with the performance of the new stores and anticipate that the average sales of the three new stores opened so far will meet or exceed the average sales of the system, with two above and one below that average.”
 
2016 Outlook:
 
The Company currently anticipates and reiterates the following for fiscal 2016:
 
 
·
Total revenues of approximately $67 million to $69 million
 
 
·
Total revenue estimates assume same store sales growth of approximately 4% for the Good Times concept and low single digits for the Bad Daddy’s concept
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
General and administrative expenses of approximately $6.1 million to $6.2 million, including approximately $800,000 of non-cash equity compensation expense
 
 
·
The opening of 1 new Good Times restaurant
 
 
·
The opening of 8 new Bad Daddy’s restaurants (three have already opened, and one restaurant is expected to open on February 15, one in late March, and three during the balance of the fiscal year)
 
 
·
Total Adjusted EBITDA* of approximately $4.2 million to $4.5 million
 
 
·
Restaurant pre-opening expenses of approximately $2.6 million to $2.7 million
 
 
·
Capital expenditures (net of tenant improvement allowances) of approximately $10 million to $11 million

Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that restaurant operating costs are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues, as opposed to total revenues.
 
 
 

 
 
The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation.  The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company’s investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tables above set forth certain unaudited information for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. This measure is presented because we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations.
 
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and further adjustments to reflect the additions and eliminations presented in the table above.
 
 
 

 
 
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses and asset disposals, closure costs and restaurant impairments and (ii) we use adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark for certain of our cash incentive plans and to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and income tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property, plant and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management believes that adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of these foregoing variations. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items.
