Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) announced financial results for the Jack in the Box and Del Taco segments in the third quarter, ended July 10, 2022.

“I am very encouraged by the commitment shown by our franchisees, operators and corporate team members as we navigate this challenging and complex operating environment. We have remained steadfast in executing our four strategic pillars by focusing on what we can control,” said Darin Harris, Jack in the Box Chief Executive Officer. “Both Jack and Del Taco demonstrated top-line strength, delivering excellent same-store sales performances on a two-year basis, and sequentially higher sales on a three-year basis. As we navigate through the near-term, we are committed to utilizing the remainder of the year to return cash to shareholders via share buybacks in the fourth quarter, as well as strengthen our foundation to demonstrate unit growth progress beginning in fiscal 2023.”

Jack in the Box Performance

Systemwide sales for the third quarter decreased 1.4%. Same-store sales decreased 0.6% in the third quarter, comprised of a decline in franchise same-store sales of 1.0% and an increase in Company-operated same-store sales of 3.5%. Higher average check, driven mostly by pricing, was more than offset by traffic declines for franchise, and only partially offset by traffic declines for company-operated. The chicken and sides categories performed well, as did the snack and dinner day parts. During the quarter, systemwide sales declined relative to same-store sales due to a one-week shift affecting the calculation of same-store sales related to the 53rd week in 2021. This one-week shift had a more positive impact on same-store sales due to lapping less of the stimulus benefit in its calculation when compared to the fiscal quarter comparison.

As of the third quarter, and since the launch of the development program in mid-2021, the Company currently has 62 signed agreements for a total of 233 restaurants. Under these agreements, 13 restaurants have opened, leaving 220 remaining for future development. Net restaurant count was flat in the third quarter, as the Company both opened and closed three locations. The three restaurant closures included one Company-operated restaurant within an Evolving Market, one franchise location with an early termination and one franchise location with an agreement expiration.

Restaurant-Level Margin(2), a non-GAAP measure, was 15.8%, a decline from a year ago driven by increases in food and packaging costs; wage inflation of 13.2%; and increases in utilities and maintenance and repair costs, partially offset by menu price increases. Commodity costs increased in the quarter by approximately 16.8%, primarily due to increases in proteins, sauces, oil and beverages. When removing the temporary Evolving Markets (Oregon, Kansas City, Oklahoma City and Nashville), Restaurant-Level Margin was 19.3% for the quarter. Subsequent to the third quarter, the Company completed a Letter of Intent to refranchise seven restaurants within the Oregon market, with plans to close the remaining company-owned Oregon restaurants thereafter. This would remove all Oregon locations from the Evolving Markets portfolio beginning in Q1 2023. The agreement would also include six Southern California-based company-owned restaurants, which would be refranchised to the same operator, and a commitment to build additional future restaurants.

Franchise-Level Margin(2), a non-GAAP measure, was 41.4%, a decline from a year ago, driven by reduced operating hours, lower early termination penalties, and deferrals in connection with a franchisee currently in bankruptcy proceedings. Excluding the impact of this St. Louis-area franchisee's pre-pandemic challenges and 2021 chapter 11 bankruptcy event, Franchise-Level Margin for the third quarter of 2022 would have been would have been 42.2%, compared to 43.3% in the third quarter of 2021.

Del Taco Performance(1)

Systemwide sales for the fiscal third quarter increased 3.3% driven by positive results in both franchise and company-operated same-store sales. Same-store sales increased 3.5% in the third quarter, comprised of franchise same-store sales growth of 4.8% and Company-operated same-store sales growth of 2.3%. Sales performance was boosted by the 20 Under $2 value platform, higher average ticket and menu price, partially offset by menu mix and transaction declines. Del Taco had a third quarter net restaurant decrease of five restaurants, comprised of five closures and no openings.

Restaurant-Level Margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 17.6% while Franchise-Level Margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 42.7%.

Company-Wide Performance

Third quarter diluted earnings per share was $1.08. Operating Earnings Per Share (3), a non-GAAP measure, was $1.38 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $1.64 in the prior year quarter. Total revenues increased 47.8% to $398.3 million, compared to $269.5 million in the prior year quarter.

Net earnings decreased to $22.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2022, compared with $40.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA(4), a non-GAAP measure, was $73.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with $79.0 million for the prior year quarter.

SG&A expense for the third quarter, which now includes Del Taco, was $40.1 million, an increase of $18.3 million compared to the prior year quarter, driven primarily by; mark-to-market changes in the cash surrender value of company owned life insurance ("COLI") policies, net of changes in our deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies, resulting in a year-over-year increase of $7.2 million, an increase in advertising expense of $5.1 million and an increase of $8.5 million in other G&A from the acquisition of Del Taco; partially offset by a decrease in litigation matters of $2.1 million.

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022 was 28.8% compared to 23.1% in fiscal year 2021. The major components of the year-over-year increase in tax rate, the impacts of which were exacerbated by a decrease in earnings before income taxes, were non-deductible COLI losses in the current year as opposed to non-taxable gains in the prior year, a favorable release of reserve on state tax credits and losses in the prior year, and an increase in non-deductible expenses in the current year.

(1) Del Taco same-store sales on a two-year basis and all prior year comparisons are pro forma and based on the time period of Jack in the Box’s full two-year fiscal calendar. We believe Del Taco's information on this time period is useful to investors as they have a direct effect on the company's profitability

(2) Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to earnings from operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, in the attachment to this release. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."

(3) Operating Earnings Per Share represents diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis of $1.08 excluding acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs of $0.10; COLI losses (gains), net of $0.22; and refranchising gains of ($0.03). See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results." Operating earnings per share may not add due to rounding.

(4) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding income taxes, interest expense, net, gains or losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, other operating expenses (income), net, depreciation and amortization, the amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net and the amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and incentives. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results."

Capital Allocation

On November 19, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized a $200.0 million stock buy-back program that expires on November 20, 2023. The Company did not repurchase any shares in the third quarter of 2022, but plans to execute $25 million in share repurchases during the fourth quarter of 2022. On August 5, 2022, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of 0.44 per common share, to be paid on September 9, 2022, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 24, 2022.

Franchised restaurant sales represent sales at franchised restaurants and are revenues of our franchisees. Systemwide sales include company and franchised restaurant sales. We do not record franchised sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues, marketing fees and percentage rent revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchised sales. We believe franchised and systemwide restaurant sales information is useful to investors as they have a direct effect on the company's profitability.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASUREMENTS TO GAAP RESULTS

(Unaudited)

To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following non-GAAP measures: Operating Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin. Management believes that these measurements, when viewed with the company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations in the tables below, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period changes, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of the company's core business without regard to potential distortions.

Operating Earnings Per Share

Operating Earnings Per Share represents diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis excluding acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs; COLI losses (gains), net and gains on the sale of company-operated restaurants. Operating Earnings Per Share should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Operating Earnings Per Share provides investors with a meaningful supplement of the company’s operating performance and period-over-period changes without regard to potential distortions.

Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP Operating Earnings Per Share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted earnings per share. Figures may not add due to rounding.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, we exclude gains and losses driven by mark-to-market changes in the cash surrender value of COLI policies, net of a deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies. The prior period has been recast to conform to the current year presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding income taxes, interest expense, net, gains or losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, other operating expenses (income), net, depreciation and amortization, amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net and the amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and other. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the company's ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced.

Restaurant-Level Margin

Restaurant-Level Margin is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs (food and packaging, labor, and occupancy costs) and is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-Level Margin excludes revenues and expenses of our franchise operations and certain costs, such as selling, general, and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, other operating expenses (income), net, gains or losses on the sale of company-operated restaurants, and other costs that are considered normal operating costs. As such, Restaurant-Level Margin is not indicative of the overall results of the company and does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders because of the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-Level Margin should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. The company is presenting Restaurant-Level Margin because it believes that it provides a meaningful supplement to net earnings of the company's core business operating results, as well as a comparison to those of other similar companies. Management utilizes Restaurant-Level Margin as a key performance indicator to evaluate the profitability of company-operated restaurants.
