The ONE Group Reports First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Achieved an 11.3% Increase in Revenues
Reaffirms 2023 Targets, Including Eight to Twelve New Venues

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. (“The ONE Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: STKS) today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Highlights for the first quarter compared to the same period in 2022 are as follows:

  • Total GAAP revenues increased 11.3% to $82.6 million from $74.2 million;
  • Comparable sales* increased 1.6%;
  • GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group was $2.6 million, or $0.08 per share ($0.10 adjusted net income per share)****, compared to GAAP net income of $3.7 million, or $0.11 per share ($0.15 adjusted net income per share)****
  • Restaurant Operating Profit*** decreased 1.1% to $12.9 million from $13.0 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA** increased 1.0% to $10.9 million from $10.8 million.

“We are pleased with our first quarter results which include double-digit top-line growth, positive comparable sales, and growth in adjusted EBITDA. We are particularly happy with STK restaurant level margins in excess of 22% for the quarter. Importantly, we are still on track with our robust development pipeline, and we remain confident in our full year 2023 targets and are reiterating them today,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.

Hilario continued, “We expect to open eight to twelve new venues this year, representing our strongest development pipeline in history. During the first quarter, we opened a new, redesigned Kona Grill in Columbus and a rooftop bar at our existing STK in Scottsdale. We view our addressable market as at least 400 restaurants including 200 STK restaurants globally and 200 Kona Grills domestically with best-in-class ROIs of between 40% and 50% for new Company-owned STKs and Kona Grills, respectively.”

*Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions.

**We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income 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 including incremental costs related to COVID-19, stock-based compensation 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 Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA in this release.

***We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit 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 Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this release.

****We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments. Adjusted Net Income 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 Net Income to Adjusted Net Income in this release.

First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased $8.4 million, or 11.3%, to $82.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $74.2 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $8.1 million, or 11.4%, to $78.6 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $70.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the addition of STK San Francisco in August 2022, STK Dallas in November 2022, and Kona Grill Columbus in January 2023. Consolidated comparable sales* increased 1.6% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues increased $0.3 million, or 8.5%, to $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to increased revenues at our managed STK restaurants in North America.

Restaurant Operating Profit*** decreased $0.1 million, or 1.1%, to $12.9 million and represented 16.4% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the first quarter of 2023 compared to $13.0 million and 18.5% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily due to consolidated higher average wage and operating cost inflation.

Total owned operating costs represented 83.6% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the first quarter of 2023 compared to 81.5% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to consolidated higher average wage and operating cost inflation. Total owned operating costs are typically higher in the first quarter due to seasonality in sales levels, and we anticipate total owned operating costs for the full year of between 82.5% and 82.0%.

General and administrative costs increased $0.6 million, or 8.8%, to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to increased stock-based compensation expense and additional investments required ahead of growth. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs were 9.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 9.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Pre-opening expenses were $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was related to payroll, training, and non-cash pre-open rent for Kona Grill Columbus which opened in January 2023 and STK and Kona Grill restaurants currently under construction.

GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the first quarter of 2023 was $2.6 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to $3.7 million, or $0.11 per share, in the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Net Income**** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the first quarter of 2023 was $3.2 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $5.0 million, or $0.15 per share, in the first quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA** increased $0.1 million, or 1.0%, to $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2023 from $10.8 million in the first quarter of 2022.

Restaurant Development

The Company intends to open eight to twelve new venues in 2023.

There are currently three Company-owned STK restaurants (Charlotte, NC, Boston, MA and Washington, D.C.) and two Company-owned Kona Grill restaurants (Riverton, UT and Desert Ridge, AZ) under construction.

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company opened a redesigned Kona Grill in Columbus, OH and a rooftop at an STK in Scottsdale, AZ.

Share Repurchase

On September 7, 2022, the Company announced the commencement of a share repurchase program for up to $10 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company’s board has authorized an additional $5 million to this program. In the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Company purchased 0.1 million shares for aggregate consideration of $0.7 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had purchased 1.2 million shares for $7.9 million under this program.

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, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Income.

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. 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):

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.

Restaurant Operating Profit. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses.

We believe Restaurant Operating Profit is an important component of financial results because: (i) it is a widely used metric within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit as a key metric to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management, and we believe that it provides useful information facilitating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted Net Income 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.
