Good Times Restaurants Inc. (Nasdaq: GTIM), operator of the Bad
Daddy’s Burger Bar and Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard
restaurant brands, today reported financial results for the 2024
third fiscal quarter.
Key highlights of the Company’s financial results
include:
- Total Revenues for the quarter increased 6.5% to $37.9 million
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023
- Same Store Sales1 for company-owned Bad Daddy’s restaurants
increased 1.2% for the quarter compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 2023
- Same Store Sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants
increased 5.8% for the quarter compared to the third quarter of
fiscal 2023
- Net Income Attributable to Common Shareholders was $1.3 million
for the quarter
- The Company ended the quarter with $4.8 million in cash and
$0.8 million of borrowings under its credit facility with Cadence
Bank
- The Company repurchased 263,516 shares of its common stock
during the quarter, including approximately 171,000 shares in a
privately negotiated purchase
Ryan M. Zink, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “The
Good Times brand produced strong same store sales again this
quarter, and we are extremely pleased with the bottom line results
the concept continues to generate. During the quarter, we
accomplished several significant reinvestment milestones including
completion of our fourth remodel, this one much more extensive,
including structural repairs. The restaurant was closed for nearly
six weeks during construction. Additionally, as previously
reported, in April we began the pilot phase of our next-generation
point-of-sale system. We quickly realized the benefits of this new
system, assessed the test results, addressed minor issues, and
moved to the rollout phase of the project and as of the end of
July, the system has been installed in nineteen locations, with
seven Company-owned locations yet to be installed. Those
restaurants will be completed within the next four weeks, with our
Denver-area franchise restaurants expected to be converted shortly
thereafter. We also acquired a franchisee-owned restaurant in
Parker, Colorado during the quarter, and made quick improvements to
the facility, including new awnings, overhauled the parking lot and
landscaping, and have both digital menu boards and new signage
scheduled for installation.”
Mr. Zink continued, “I am also thrilled with the improvement in
same store sales at Bad Daddy’s, with positive same store sales for
the quarter. We have continued the trend of improved performance
compared to the Black Box casual dining benchmark. Competition in
the casual dining, burger-focused segment continues to be intense
as our guests look for value through reasonable prices without
compromises on service, quality, or portions. While we continue to
look to creating value through drink specials and targeted
discounting, late in the quarter we introduced new limited time
burgers featuring quarter-pound, smashed patties. These burgers
were an immediate success, and we had to dip into reserve stock and
quickly recover as purchase velocity was more than double our
expectation. Though this product offering is currently slated to
end post-Labor Day, we expect these burgers to return and likely
will have a permanent place on Bad Daddy’s menu. As foodies at
heart, our operators are focused on cooking up unique, indulgent
burger builds, coupled with an inviting and engaging experience
that differentiates Bad Daddy’s from others in casual dining and
delivers on the value expectations of our guests.”
“In addition to our concept-level initiatives, we have continued
to focus on a multi-faceted approach to creating value, including
share repurchases. In addition to our share repurchase program,
during the quarter we completed a privately negotiated share
repurchase bringing the total shares repurchased during the quarter
to approximately 264,000 shares. At the same time, the cash
generated by the business enabled us to complete that purchase,
continue reinvesting in our restaurants, reduce our already limited
borrowings on our credit facility, with sequential quarterly growth
in ending cash reserves. I believe our operations and capabilities
leaders are focused on creating enjoyable and memorable experiences
for our guests through excellent restaurant operations and
authentic, genuine hospitality, and that in doing so, we grow the
value of our brands and operations for our shareholders,” Zink
concluded.
Conference Call: Management will host a conference call
to discuss its third quarter 2024 financial results on Thursday,
August 1, 2024 at 3:00 p.m. MT/5:00 p.m. ET. Hosting the call will

Certain percentage amounts in the
table above may 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, like 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 current and prior year fiscal
quarters and year-to-date periods for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023,
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.
_________________________
1 Same store sales are a metric used in evaluating the
performance of established restaurants and is a commonly used
metric in the restaurant industry. Same store sales for our brands
are calculated using all units open for at least 18 full fiscal
months and use the comparable operating weeks from the prior year
to the current year quarter’s operating weeks.
2 Depreciation and amortization, the difference between GAAP
rent and cash rent and the loss (gain) on restaurant and equipment
asset sales have been reduced by any amounts attributable to
non-controlling interests.
