Today : Tuesday 8 May 2012
Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (“Carrols”) (NASDAQ: TAST) today announced financial results for the first quarter ended April 1, 2012. It also reported that it completed the spin-off of Fiesta Restaurant Group, Inc. ("Fiesta") to its stockholders on May 7, 2012.
Financial results for the first quarter include Fiesta, which owns and operates the Pollo Tropical® and Taco Cabana® brands, as the spin-off was completed after the first quarter had concluded. Fiesta is now an independent, public company and its common stock is traded on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol FRGI.
Highlights for the first quarter of 2012 versus the first quarter of 2011 include:
•Total revenues grew 7.3% to $211.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $197.2 million in the first quarter of 2011. Revenues for Fiesta grew 9.1% to $126.1 million from $115.6 million in the year-ago period.
•Comparable restaurant sales increased 5.9% at Burger King®, 9.4% at Pollo Tropical, and 6.1% at Taco Cabana;
•Net loss for the first quarter of 2012 was $3.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011; and
•Earnings in the first quarter of 2012 included certain charges totaling $9.8 million, or $0.32 per diluted share after tax, consisting of impairment and other lease charges, stock-based compensation expense related to stock option conversion charges in connection with the spin-off and accelerated vesting of certain restricted stock, and spin-off and acquisition related expenses. Earnings in the first quarter of 2011 included impairment and other lease charges of $1.1 million, or $0.03 per diluted share after tax, and spin-off related expenses of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share after tax.
As of April 1, 2012, Carrols owned and operated 297 Burger King restaurants and Fiesta owned and operated 86 Pollo Tropical and 157 Taco Cabana restaurants, and franchised 38 restaurants. Seven restaurants were closed during the period, including one Burger King restaurant, five Pollo Tropical restaurants and one Taco Cabana restaurant.
Commenting on Carrols’ Burger King restaurant business, Dan Accordino, Chief Executive Officer of Carrols, said, “During the first quarter, Burger King generated a solid 5.9% increase in comparable restaurant sales along with an improvement in restaurant-level profitability. Burger King is undergoing a broad-based repositioning including changes and enhancements to its existing products and menu, food preparation, brand image and marketing. These are transformational strategic initiatives focused on expanding the brand's reach to a more diverse consumer base, which we believe will contribute to continued improvements in the performance of both the Burger King system and Carrols’."
Accordino continued, "With the Fiesta spin-off behind us, we are now solely focused on the considerable opportunities available to us within the Burger King system. We believe that our pending acquisition of 278 Burger King restaurants from Burger King Corporation, and particularly the strategic nature of this transaction, will position the Company for long-term growth.”
Commenting on Fiesta’s Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana restaurant businesses, Tim Taft, Chief Executive Officer of Fiesta said, "Today is a momentous day for Fiesta as it officially began life as a separate public company. We are excited and confident about our future and look forward to Pollo and Taco reaching their full potential. Fiesta got off to a very strong start in 2012. Successful product promotions continued to drive strong comparable restaurant sales growth and improvements in overall restaurant profitability. We are certainly encouraged by our current positive momentum.”
Taft continued, “Our strategic focus is three-fold: first, to grow comparable restaurant sales by accentuating our brands’ competitive qualities; second, to develop new units and selectively remodel existing locations; and finally, to improve operating margins through sales leverage and supply chain initiatives. As our first quarter results suggest, we believe that we are executing well against these initiatives and are confident that both brands have compelling long-term opportunities.”

Total revenues grew 7.3% to $211.6 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared to $197.2 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Interest expense increased to $6.3 million during the first quarter of 2012 from $4.6 million in the year-ago period due to a higher debt balance and higher borrowing rates.

Full Year 2012 Guidance
The following annual outlook is being provided for Carrols and Fiesta, respectively.
Carrols (Burger King Restaurants)
•Comparable restaurant sales are expected to increase 3% to 5%;
•Commodity costs are expected to increase 3% to 4%;
•Two restaurants are expected to close in 2012;
•Annualized run rate for general and administrative expenses (excluding stock compensation) is expected to be approximately $20 to $ 22 million following the spin-off of Fiesta;
•The Company currently expects to record an income tax benefit for all of 2012 ranging from $0.7 million to $1.3 million due in part to the deductibility of stock compensation costs related to the conversion of outstanding stock options in the first quarter of 2012; and
•Capital expenditures of approximately $30 million to $35 million including $19 million to $24 million for remodeling more than 50 restaurants.
As previously announced, on March 26, 2012, Carrols entered into an asset purchase agreement for the purchase (through its operating subsidiary Carrols LLC) of 278 BKC company-owned restaurants in the Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia markets. Total cash consideration is approximately $15.8 million including $3.8 million to be paid over five years. Non-cash consideration to BKC includes a 28.9% equity ownership in Carrols Restaurant Group (subject to certain limitations).
The acquisition of BKC's restaurants is conditioned upon, among other things, completion of a financing, which along with anticipated operating cash flows, will be used to: (i) fund the remodeling of approximately 450 Burger King restaurants over the next three and half years, (ii) fund the cash paid to BKC in connection with the transaction, and (iii) refinance outstanding borrowings under Carrols LLC's existing senior secured credit facility. The Company currently anticipates the sale of $140 million to $150 million of senior secured second lien notes in a private offering and entering into a new senior secured revolving credit facility. The Company currently anticipates completion of the financing and the closing of the acquisition to occur in May 2012 although there can be no assurance that the financing or the acquisition will be completed within such timeframe or at all.
The financial impact on Carrols of the potential acquisition, including expected operating improvements of the acquired restaurants and other synergies that may be realized over time, is not included in the outlook detailed above. Capital expenditures have been adjusted to reflect the Company’s accelerated remodeling of its restaurants in anticipation of the acquisition.
Fiesta (Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana Brands)
•Comparable restaurant sales are expected to increase approximately 6% to 7% for Pollo Tropical and 4% to 5% for Taco Cabana;
•Commodity costs are expected to increase 1% to 2% for Pollo Tropical and 2.5% to 3.5% for Taco Cabana;
•Approximately 10 to 12 new restaurants are expected to be opened and 6 restaurants are expected to close for the entire year;
•Annualized run rate for general and administrative expenses (excluding stock compensation) is expected to be approximately $38 to $40 million following the spin-off from Carrols;
•Effective tax rate of 41% to 43%; and
•Capital expenditures of approximately $42 million to $46 million.

Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2009
Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TAST), the parent company of Carrols Corporation, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended January 3, 2010.
Highlights for the 14-week fourth quarter of 2009 versus the 13-week fourth quarter of 2008 include:
Net income of $4.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share (after impairment charges of $0.07 per diluted share, after tax), compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share (including non-recurring gains and impairment charges, which in the aggregate reduced earnings by approximately $0.02 per diluted share, after tax);
Total revenues increased 4.4% to $209.7 million from $200.8 million, including a 5.8% increase for the Company's Hispanic Brands;
Comparable restaurant sales (on a comparable 13 week basis) increased 0.3% at Pollo Tropical®, decreased 4.5% at Taco Cabana® and decreased 3.0% at Burger King®;
Highlights for the 53-week full year 2009 versus the 52-week full year 2008 include:
Net income of $21.8 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, (including non-recurring gains and impairment charges, which in the aggregate reduced earnings by approximately $0.06 per diluted share, after tax), compared to net income of $12.8 million, or $0.59 per diluted share (including non-recurring gains and impairment charges, which in the aggregate reduced earnings by approximately $0.02 per diluted share, after tax);
Total revenues were $816.1 million compared to $816.3 million, including a 1.7% increase for the Company's Hispanic Brands;
Comparable restaurant sales (on a comparable 52 week basis) decreased 1.3% at Pollo Tropical, decreased 3.7% at Taco Cabana and decreased 2.6% at Burger King;
Total outstanding indebtedness was reduced $33.1 million for the full year to $283.1 million as of January 3, 2010.
As of January 3, 2010, the Company owned and operated 559 restaurants, including 312 Burger King, 91 Pollo Tropical and 156 Taco Cabana restaurants.
Alan Vituli, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Carrols Restaurant Group, Inc. commented, “We were able to significantly increase earnings in 2009 despite ongoing challenges to top-line growth caused by the difficult consumer environment. The 2009 earnings improvements were brought about by our effective management of controllable expenses, favorable commodity and utility costs, and a decrease in interest expense, all of which more than offset fixed cost deleveraging caused by the decline in comparable restaurant sales. The increase in net income, combined with relatively modest capital expenditures, enabled the Company to reduce outstanding indebtedness by $33.1 million in 2009 which further improved our leverage ratios.” Vituli continued, “Looking ahead, strengthening our top-line is our greatest opportunity but remains a challenge in the current environment. To stimulate guest traffic at our Hispanic Brands, we continue to focus on our pipeline of new products and compelling promotional offers, supported through television, radio and direct mail advertising. We continue to emphasize the attributes that most differentiate our brands within the quick-casual segment: freshly-made food, distinct flavor profiles and a strong value proposition for the consumer. The Burger King system, on the other hand, has increasingly focused on the customers’ need for extreme affordability with very aggressive price-pointed promotional activities. We remain cautious about sales expectations for our Burger King restaurants in light of recent trends, the competitive environment and continuing pressures on consumer spending.” Fourth Quarter 2009 Results Total revenues increased 4.4% to $209.7 million from $200.8 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of 2008, while revenues from the Company’s Hispanic Brands increased 5.8% to $109.8 million from $103.8 million. These year-over-year increases were mostly due to one additional week in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Pollo Tropical revenues increased 7.4% to $45.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $42.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, mostly due to the additional week in 2009. Pollo Tropical comparable restaurant sales (on a comparable 13 week basis) increased 0.3%.
Taco Cabana revenues increased 4.7% to $64.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $61.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the additional week in 2009. Taco Cabana comparable restaurant sales (on a comparable 13 week basis) decreased 4.5%. The Company opened one Taco Cabana restaurant in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Burger King revenues increased 2.9% to $99.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $97.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the additional week in the fiscal period. Burger King comparable restaurant sales (on a comparable 13 week basis) decreased 3.0%. The Company opened one Burger King restaurant (a relocation of an existing unit) and closed three restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2009 (including the unit closed in conjunction with the relocation).
General and administrative expenses were $13.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $13.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 6.3% from 6.5%.
Income from operations increased to $11.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 from $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and as a percentage of total revenues, improved to 5.4% from 4.7%. Impairment charges and non-recurring losses (gains), in the net, reduced income from operations by $2.5 million in 2009 and $4.9 million in 2008. The effect of one additional week in the fourth quarter of 2009 contributed approximately $2.9 million to income from operations.
Interest expense was $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 and $1.9 million lower than the fourth quarter of 2008 due to debt reductions and lower interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company reduced its outstanding indebtedness by $8.1 million to $283.1 million.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $4.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 of $4.4 million, or $0.20 per diluted share. The fourth quarter of 2009 included impairment charges of approximately $2.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, after tax. The Company estimates that the additional week in 2009 increased earnings by approximately $0.07 per diluted share, after tax. The fourth quarter of 2008 included non-recurring gains and impairment charges, which in the aggregate reduced earnings by approximately $0.02 per diluted share, after tax.
Full-Year 2009 Results For the year ended January 3, 2010 (which contained 53 weeks), total revenues were essentially flat at $816.1 million compared to $816.3 million in fiscal 2008 (which contained 52 weeks). Income from operations increased to $54.1 million from $44.0 million, and as a percentage of total revenues, improved to 6.6% from 5.4%. Net income increased to $21.8 million in 2009, or $1.00 per diluted share, from $12.8 million in 2008, or $0.59 per diluted share. The full year 2009 results included non-recurring gains and impairment charges, which in the aggregate reduced earnings by approximately $0.06 per diluted share, after tax. The full year 2008 results also included non-recurring gains and impairment charges, which in the aggregate reduced earnings by approximately $0.02 per diluted share, after tax.
Outlook The Company is not providing specific earnings guidance for 2010 given the continuing uncertainties with regard to the overall economy and consumer spending, and in particular, a lack of visibility regarding the key drivers of comparable sales for its Burger King restaurants. The Company does expect to see continuing improvement in sales trends for its Hispanic Brands. However, uncertainty regarding the impact of Burger King new product introductions and its promotional and discounting tactics make predicting sales and earnings difficult in the current environment.
The Company is providing the following information for 2010:
The 2010 fiscal year has one less week than 2009, the effect of which is estimated to negatively impact revenues by approximately $13.6 million and earnings by $0.07 per diluted share compared to 2009;
Comparable restaurant sales for Pollo Tropical are expected to increase 0% to 3%. Taco Cabana comparable restaurant sales are expected to be somewhat soft early in the year, improving as the year progresses and to be flat or slightly positive for the full year;
Commodity costs are expected to decrease 1% to 2% for Pollo Tropical, to be flat to down 1% for Taco Cabana and to increase 3% to 4% for Burger King;
Amortization of unearned purchase discounts, which are recognized as a reduction of cost of sales, will decrease $2.2 million for our Burger King restaurants in 2010 since the funds received in 2000 from the Coca-Cola Company and Dr. Pepper/Seven-Up, Inc. became fully amortized at the end of 2009;
The Company anticipates the opening of four to six new Hispanic Brand restaurants, the net closing of seven Burger King restaurants and the closing of two Taco Cabana restaurants;
Total capital expenditures are expected to be $40 million to $45 million, increasing from 2009 due to some additional remodeling at the Hispanic Brands;
Depreciation expense is expected to increase approximately 5% reflecting 2009 capital equipment additions, 2010 new units and increases in reimaging expenditures;
General and administrative expense is expected to increase 2% to 3%; and
The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to be 37.0% to 37.5%.
Vituli concluded, “All things considered, 2009 results were solid recognizing that earnings growth was driven mainly by lower costs. Earnings in 2010 will be more challenging as improvements in sales will be critical. There remains considerable uncertainty, though, regarding the timing of the economic recovery and improvements in consumer spending. We believe that our Hispanic Brands are well-positioned, resilient and have attractive long-term growth potential. Nonetheless, we have limited new unit growth in the near-term to continue to maximize free cash flow and pay down debt. We would anticipate more aggressive expansion of our Hispanic Brands beyond 2010 as the economy improves. Because we have far less control of the sales at our Burger King restaurants, we remain cautious at this time regarding their 2010 results.” Conference Call Today The Company will host a conference call to discuss the fourth quarter and full year 2009 financial results today at 8:00 AM Eastern Time.

Restaurants are included in comparable restaurant sales after they have been open for 12 months for Burger King restaurants and 18 months for Pollo Tropical and Taco Cabana restaurants. Comparable restaurant sales are presented on a comparable 52 week basis for the year and 13 weeks for the quarter.
(b) Segment EBITDA is defined as earnings attributable to the applicable segment before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other lease charges, stock-based compensation expense, other loss (income) and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt. Segment EBITDA is used because it is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to our chief operating decision maker for purposes of allocating resources to the segments and assessing each segment’s performance. This may not be necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Segment EBITDA for Burger King restaurants includes general and administrative expenses related directly to the Burger King segment as well as the expenses associated with administrative support to all three of the Company’s segments including executive management, information systems and certain accounting, legal and other administrative functions.
(c) Average sales for company-owned or operated restaurants are derived by dividing restaurant sales for such year for the applicable segment by the average number of restaurants for the applicable segment for such year. For comparative purposes, the calculation of average sales per restaurant is based on a 13 week quarter and 52-week year, respectively, and in 2009 excludes restaurant sales for the extra week in the fiscal period.
(d) Long-term debt (including current portion) at January 3, 2010 included $165,000 of the Company’s 9% senior subordinated notes, $106,900 of outstanding borrowings under its senior credit facility, $9,999 of lease financing obligations and $1,193 of capital lease obligations. Long-term debt at December 31, 2008 (including current portion) included $165,000 of the Company’s 9% senior subordinated notes, $135,000 of outstanding borrowings under its senior credit facility, $14,859 of lease financing obligations and $1,295 of capital lease obligations.
