Jul. 30, 2021

TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 30, 2021--Bloomin' Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the second quarter 2021 ("Q2 2021") compared to the second quarter 2020 ("Q2 2020").

CEO Comments

"Q2 represented another quarter of strong results. We are well positioned to grow sales and capture additional market share," said David Deno, Chief Executive Officer. "We are making great progress improving margins, increasing cash flow and retaining off-premises sales as dining rooms have reopened. Our sales momentum has continued through the first four weeks of the third quarter with U.S. comp sales up 15.2% on a two-year basis versus 2019."

Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS

The following table reconciles Diluted earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders to Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods indicated:

Second Quarter Financial Results

(dollars in millions) Q2 2021 Q2 2020 CHANGE Q2 2019 (1)

Total revenues $ 1,077.4 $ 578.5 86.2 % $ 1,021.9



Restaurant-level operating margin 20.3 % 2.1 % 18.2 % 15.0 %

Adjusted restaurant-level operating 20.3 % 2.7 % 17.6 % 15.0 %margin (2)



GAAP operating income (loss) margin 11.6 % (19.3) % 30.9 % 4.3 %

Adjusted operating income (loss) 11.0 % (13.7) % 24.7 % 4.6 %margin (2)

___________________(1) Presented for improved comparability.(2) See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release.

* The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to: (i) higher comparable restaurant sales from in-restaurant dining and strong retention of off-premises sales, (ii) higher franchise revenues and (iii) the net impact of restaurant openings and closures.

* GAAP restaurant-level operating margin increased due to higher comparable restaurant sales and lower advertising expense. These increases were partially offset by the 2020 benefit of employee retention credits from relief pay and higher management bonus. Charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic were excluded from our 2020 Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin.

* GAAP operating income margin increased due to: (i) an increase in restaurant-level operating margin as described above, (ii) 2020 asset impairment charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic and (iii) favorable court rulings in Brazil related to value-added taxes recorded in other revenues. These increases were partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation expense. Adjusted operating income excludes the impact of charges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, benefits from value-added tax court rulings in Brazil and expenses from restructuring and transformational initiatives.

Recent Sales Results - Brazil

Brazil's second quarter sales were impacted by a rise in COVID-19 cases that resulted in significantly reduced in-restaurant dining capacity for a majority of the country. In recent weeks as the vaccine rollout increased, we have seen in-restaurant dining capacity increase which has resulted in rapidly improving weekly sales volumes. In Sao Paulo, which represents our largest market with 46% of stores, in-restaurant dining capacity increased to 60% on July 7, 2021, providing optimism about the continued recovery.

The following tables include Brazil third quarter-to-date Company-owned comparable restaurant sales for the eight-week period ended July 25, 2021 and weekly comparable average unit volumes for the periods indicated:

Q3 2021 Financial Outlook

The table below presents our expectations for selected fiscal Q3 2021 financial operating results. Our outlook assumes no significant business interruptions related to COVID-19 and contemplates the following considerations:

* Continuing momentum in U.S. sales trends and includes a level of traditional Q3 seasonality; and * Achieving ongoing operating efficiencies from simplification efforts, waste reduction and lower advertising.

Selected Financial Data: Q3 2021 Outlook

Total revenues At least $1.015B



EBITDA (1) At least $115M



GAAP diluted earnings per share (2) At least $0.45



Adjusted diluted earnings per share (3) At least $0.50

_________________(1) See EBITDA outlook reconciliation later in this release.(2) Assumes weighted average diluted shares of approximately 110 million, whichincludes the dilutive impact of shares issuable in excess of the convertiblenote principal and excludes the benefit of the convertible notes hedge.(3) Assumes weighted average adjusted diluted shares of approximately 100million, which excludes common shares to be issued upon conversion of the 2025Notes for the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible notehedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes.

Fiscal 2021 Financial Outlook

We are updating our 2021 financial outlook for the following items:

* Increased commodity inflation reflects increases in protein costs, primarily chicken and seafood, as we acquired additional supply outside of our contracted terms due to higher sales volumes; * Higher general and administrative expenses from additional incentive compensation as a result of strong financial performance; and * A reduction in capital expenditures due to raw material constraints delaying relocations, remodels and new restaurants into 2022.

All other aspects of our previously provided financial outlook remain unchanged. See the table below for more details.

Selected Financial Data: Prior Outlook Current Outlook

Commodity inflation Flat Approx. 1.0%



Labor inflation 3.0% - 3.5% 3.0% - 3.5%



General and administrative expenses $225M - $230M $240M - $245M



Depreciation and amortization $165M - $175M $165M - $175M



Capital expenditures $170M - $185M $140M - $150M



Number of new system-wide restaurants 20 - 25 20 - 25

We are not providing any additional sales or profit guidance for the full-year due to the ongoing uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conference Call

The Company will host a conference call today, July 30, 2021 at 8:30 AM EDT. The conference call will be webcast live from the Company's website at http://www.bloominbrands.com under the Investors section. A replay of this webcast will be available on the Company's website after the call.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) Adjusted income (loss) from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted net income (loss), (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share, (v) Adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margin, (vi) Adjusted segment income (loss) from operations and the corresponding margin and (vii) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA").

We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in tables five, six, seven and ten included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

(d)

Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant performance in a period.

(2) Costs incurred in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily consisting of fixed asset and right-of-use asset impairments, restructuring charges, inventory obsolescence and spoilage,contingent lease liabilities and current expected credit losses. (3) Severance, professional fees and other costs incurred as a result of transformational and restructuring activities. (4) Includes asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation incurred in connection with our relocation program and a lease termination gain of $2.8 million. (5) Adjustment for interest expense related to our convertible senior notes (the "2025 Notes") weighted for the portion of the period prior to our election under the 2025 Notes indenture to settle the principal portion of our 2025 Notes in cash. The calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the 2025 Notes interest adjustment. (6) Amortization of the debt discount related to the issuance of the 2025 Notes. (7) Income tax effect of the adjustments for the periods presented. (8) Consideration paid in excess of the carrying value for the redemption of preferred stock of our Abbraccio subsidiary. (9) Due to the GAAP net loss, the effect of dilutive securities was excluded from the calculation of GAAP diluted loss per share for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 28, 2020. (10) For the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated assuming our February 2021 election to settle the principal portion of the 2025 Notes in cash was in effect for the entire period. For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2021, adjusted diluted weighted average common shares outstanding was calculated excluding the dilutive effect of 11,231 and 10,442 shares, respectively, to be issued upon conversion of the 2025 Notes to satisfy the amount in excess of the principal since our convertible note hedge offsets the dilutive impact of the shares underlying the 2025 Notes.
