Operating Income

 

GAAP operating income for the third quarter was $30.5 million, or 3.9% of total revenue, a 42.0% decrease compared to prior year quarter GAAP operating income of $52.5 million, or 7.4% of total revenue. Excluding the approximately $3.2 million in non-cash amortization related to the gains on the previously disclosed sale and leaseback transactions, adjusted1 operating income for the third quarter was $33.6 million, or 4.3% of total revenue, a 39.6% decrease compared to the prior year quarter adjusted1 operating income of $55.7 million, or 7.8% of total revenue. As a percentage of total revenue, the unfavorable variance to the prior year period is primarily due to elevated inflation, as well as increased restaurant management headcount and improved hourly staffing levels.

Maple Street Biscuit Company Leadership Update

 

The Company announced that John Maguire joined Maple Street Biscuit Company as its President on May 16, 2022.

 

Mr. Maguire has more than 30 years of leadership experience in the restaurant industry, including as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Panera Bread.

 

Fiscal 2022 Fourth Quarter Outlook

 

The Company anticipates the near-term consumer environment will remain challenged due to high inflation and lower consumer confidence especially for the age sixty-five-plus consumer group. Additionally, the Company expects operating margins in the fourth quarter to be adversely impacted by commodity, wage, and other operating expenses inflation. Taking these and other factors into account, the Company anticipates fourth quarter 2022 revenue to be approximately 8.0% above the prior year fourth quarter, and fourth quarter 2022 adjusted1 operating income margin to be in the range of 4.0% to 4.5% of total revenue.

 

Additionally for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company expects:

 

§Commodity inflation of 16% to 18% and wage inflation of 8% to 10%;

§Capital expenditures of approximately $30 million;

§An effective tax rate of approximately 8%; and

§The opening of six new Maple Street Biscuit Company units, bringing the total new store count for fiscal 2022 to 10 Maple Street Biscuit Company locations.

 

The Company reminds investors that its outlook for fiscal 2022 reflects a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control.

 

1 For Non-GAAP reconciliations, please refer to the Reconciliation of GAAP-basis operating results to non-GAAP operating results section of this release.

2 For the purpose of comparing to fiscal 2019, comparable stores are defined as restaurants open a full six months prior to the beginning of the FY19 baseline comparison period.
