The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2019 Results

Domestic Same Store Sales Increases 6.4%

Increases 2019 Revenue Targets

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 and increased its 2019 revenue targets.

Highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period last year were as follows:

  • Total GAAP revenues increased 16.2% to $23.6 million from $20.3 million;
  • Domestic same store sales* for STK restaurants rose 6.4%;
  • GAAP net loss attributable to The ONE Group was $(322,000) or $(0.01) net loss per share which includes $589,000 of costs associated with the closing of the Company’s new credit facility and registration of shares issuable under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, compared to GAAP net income of $181,000 million or $0.01 net income per share. Eliminating those costs, net income would have been $207,000, or $0.01 net income per share; and
  • GAAP income from operations was $477,000 compared to $773,000;
  • Adjusted EBITDA** was $2.1 million compared to $2.5 million in the prior year.

*Same store sales or comparable store sales represents total US food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-month period. This measure includes total revenues from our owned and managed STK locations. Revenues from locations where we do not directly control the event sales force (The W Hotel, Westwood, CA and our locations in Europe) are excluded from this measure.

**We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, results from discontinued operations and certain transactional costs. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (loss) in this release.

Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group stated, "We were pleased to have delivered strong +6.4% growth in same store sales during the second quarter 2019 despite a robust year-ago comparison of +7.5%. This achievement is a testament to our unique ability to deliver VIBE dining into the entire STK restaurant experience and grow our market share within the upscale dining segment. From a profitability standpoint, we had anticipated headwinds to Adjusted EBITDA during the second quarter of 2019 as we were lapping a strong 70% growth in Adjusted EBITDA in the prior year. Additionally we experienced normal operational inefficiencies at our new restaurants despite strong initial sales for Nashville, lower incremental flow through at STK Midtown due to nearby construction, which caused the closure of our patio in June, and higher food costs, specifically large shrimp, versus the prior year. Still, as our performance to date has largely met our internal projections, we remain confident that we can achieve our 2019 financial targets.”

Mr. Hilario continued, “On the top-line, we continue to drive sales through our elevated food program, national happy hour program, event business, and social-media driven marketing, but we are also managing profitability by controlling our restaurant level operating and corporate expenses and gaining efficiencies at newer restaurants as they mature. From a development standpoint, we have prioritized capital-light development and are on track to open two to four additional STK restaurants and one to two additional Food and Beverage venues this year. These projects should enable us to generate strong free cash flow over time.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total GAAP Revenues increased 16.2% to $23.6 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $20.3 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by growth in comparable store sales coupled with new store openings in San Diego and Nashville. Domestic comparable sales at STK restaurants increased 6.4% lapping the 7.5% increase from the prior year, which is indicative of the continued strong performance of the STK brand.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased 21.2% to $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $15.5 million in the second quarter of 2018. The increase was due to the growth in comparable store sales coupled with the opening of STK San Diego in July 2018 and STK Nashville in March 2019.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues were essentially flat at $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018. There was an increase in revenue as a result of the launch of the licensed STK Dubai Downtown in July 2018, STK Mexico City in August 2018, and STK Doha in January 2019, offset by negative currency effects of a weaker British Pound and Euro related to our managed and license locations in the United Kingdom and Italy.

GAAP net loss attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the second quarter of 2019 was $(322,000) or $(0.01) loss per share compared to GAAP net income of $181,000 or $0.01 net income per share in the second quarter of 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA** was $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Development Update

We opened two locations in the first quarter of 2019, both of which were on time and on budget. For the remainder of 2019, we expect to open two to four additional STK restaurants, as well as one to two new Food and Beverage venues.

Key Strategic Initiatives

We continue executing our four key strategic initiatives, which we believe are positioning The One Group for sustained long-term growth. (Comparisons below are to prior year periods.)

1. Driving Same Store Sales

  • We continue to report robust same store sales growth
    • Q1 2018: 7.3%
    • Q2 2018: 7.5%
    • Q3 2018: 6.9%
    • Q4 2018: 15.0%
    • FY 2018: 9.4%
    • Q1 2019: 8.6%
    • Q2 2019: 6.4%

2. Improving Restaurant Profitability

  • We have taken steps to streamline operations and run our restaurants more efficiently, including menu simplification, better labor scheduling, and reservation management.
  • Total owned restaurant expenses increased 340 basis points in the second quarter of 2019 to 90.0% of sales due to inefficiencies at our new restaurants and the loss of the patio at our Midtown STK in New York City. However, we expect operating margins at the new restaurants to improve as the restaurants mature and we are addressing sales opportunities at STK Midtown through new marketing strategies. We expect that our profitability will stabilize for the remainder of the year.
  • On a trailing 12 months basis, total owned restaurant expenses decreased 110 basis points to 86.7% of sales.

3. Reducing G&A at the Corporate Level

  • We have achieved G&A leverage in part due to a reduction in headcount and better hiring practices across all key positions. Additionally, we consolidated our New York office to occupying half the space we previously used and moved several employees to our lower-cost Denver, Colorado office.
  • G&A declined 140 basis points to 11.5% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2019. On an adjusted basis, excluding stock-based compensation, G&A decreased 170 basis points to 9.5% of total revenue.
  • On a trailing 12 months basis, excluding stock-based compensation, adjusted G&A decreased 250 basis points to 10.3% of total revenues.
  • We expect to see continued leverage in adjusted G&A as a percent of total revenue, and expect this measure, excluding stock-based compensation, to be less than 10% of total revenues for 2019.

4. Focusing on Growth Through License and Management Deals

  • We have a strong pipeline of capital light management and hospitality deals.
  • We expect there will be an additional two to four STK restaurant openings as well as one to two new Food and Beverage venues in the second half of 2019.

2019 Targets

We are updating the following targets for 2019:

  • Total GAAP revenues between $95 million and $97 million;
  • Same store sales growth of about 4% to 6%

We are reiterating the following targets for 2019:

  • Total food and beverage sales at all our owned and managed units of between $190 million and $200 million;
  • Total food and beverage costs of approximately 25% to 26%;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $13 million, representing approximately 24% growth compared to our 2018 Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Total G&A excluding stock-based compensations of approximately $8 million or less than 10% of GAAP revenues;
  • Total capital expenditures, net of allowances received from landlords, of approximately $3 to $4 million; and,
  • Four to six STK restaurant openings as well as one to two new Food and Beverage venues.

Long-Term Growth Targets

We are reiterating the following long-term growth targets:

  • Three to five licensed restaurant units and one to two food and beverage hospitality venues annually;
  • Same store sales growth of 2% to 3%;
  • Consistent Adjusted EBITDA growth of at least 20%; and,
  • Continued focus on our asset light model and disciplined G&A management, while benefitting from economies of scale and operating efficiencies.

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted since these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units and adjusted EBITDA.

Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. We believe that this measure also represents a useful internal measure of performance. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, deferred rent, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, losses from discontinued operations and certain transactional costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain non-cash expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We use this metric to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business as well as evaluate the performance of our units. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use adjusted EBITDA, alongside other GAAP measures such as net income (loss), to measure profitability, as a key profitability target in our annual and other budgets, and to compare our performance against that of peer companies. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information facilitating operating performance comparisons from period to period.
