CRACKER BARREL REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR FISCAL 2016 RESULTS

AND PROVIDES GUIDANCE FOR FISCAL 2017

Fourth Quarter Comparable Store Restaurant Sales and Retail Sales Exceeded 3% Growth

Fourth Quarter Earnings per Diluted Share Increased 7.6% to $2.12

LEBANON, Tenn. September 14, 2016 – Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. (“Cracker Barrel” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CBRL) today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and for the fiscal year ended July 29, 2016. The Company also provided guidance for its 2017 fiscal year and first quarter:

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 Highlights

 

    Compared to the prior year fourth quarter, comparable store restaurant sales increased 3.2%, marking the Company’s largest quarterly outperformance relative to the casual dining industry in fiscal 2016; comparable store retail sales increased 3.5%.

 

    Operating income as a percent of total revenue increased 30 basis points to 10.4%.

 

    Earnings per diluted share were $2.12 compared to diluted EPS of $1.97 in the prior year quarter.

Full Year Fiscal 2016 Highlights

 

    Comparable store restaurant sales increased 2.2% and comparable store retail sales increased 2.7%.

 

    Operating income was 9.6% of total revenue, compared to GAAP operating income margin of 9.0% in the prior year, or 9.1% in the prior year when adjusted to exclude the impact of a prior year litigation matter (See non-GAAP reconciliation below).

 

    On a GAAP basis, earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2016 were $7.86 versus $6.82 in the prior fiscal year. Results for the current and prior year each reflect the retroactive reinstatement of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (“WOTC”). Adjusting for these WOTC impacts, the current year impact of a reduction of the provisions for uncertain tax positions, and a prior year litigation matter, adjusted earnings per diluted share in the current year were $7.55 compared to $6.82 in the prior year.

 

    During fiscal 2016, the Company declared regular quarterly dividends totaling $4.45 per share. Additionally, the Company declared a special dividend of $3.25 per share, bringing the total dividends declared in fiscal 2016 to $7.70 per share.

Commenting on the fourth quarter and full fiscal year results, Cracker Barrel President and Chief Executive Officer Sandra B. Cochran said, “We believe the strategic programs we implemented during the fiscal year successfully drove our continued positive results. While we anticipate ongoing challenges in the industry during fiscal 2017, our management team and employees remain focused on delivering continued growth in our business and driving long-term shareholder value.”

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2016 Results

Revenue

The Company reported total revenue of $745.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, representing an increase of 3.7% over the fourth quarter of the prior year. Comparable store restaurant sales increased 3.2%, including a 4.4% increase in average check partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in store traffic. The average menu price increase for the quarter was approximately 2.4%. Comparable store retail sales were up 3.5% for the quarter. The Company opened four new Cracker Barrel stores during the quarter, and one new Holler & Dash Biscuit House, bringing the combined store count to 641 locations at fiscal year-end.

Comparable store restaurant traffic, average check and comparable store restaurant sales and retail sales for the fiscal months of May, June and July and the fourth quarter were as follows:

 

     May     June     July     Fourth

Operating Income

Operating income in the fourth quarter was $77.6 million, or 10.4% of total revenue. Operating income in the prior year quarter was 10.1% of total revenue. As a percentage of total revenue, reductions in general and administrative expenses and cost of goods sold were partially offset by an increase in store operating expenses.

Fiscal 2016 Results

The Company reported total revenue of $2.91 billion for the fiscal year, representing an increase of 2.5% over the prior year. Comparable store restaurant sales increased 2.2% including a 3.5% increase in average check partially offset by a 1.3% decrease in store traffic.

Operating income for fiscal 2016 was $280.5 million, or 9.6% of total revenue. GAAP operating income in the prior year was $254.9 million, equal to 9.0% of total revenue, or 9.1% of total revenue when adjusted to exclude the impact of a prior year litigation matter.

GAAP net income was $189.3 million, or $7.86 per diluted share, compared to $163.9 million or $6.82 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted net income was $181.7 million, or $7.55 per diluted share, compared to adjusted net income of $164.0 million, or $6.82 per diluted share in the prior year, representing a year-over-year increase in adjusted EPS of 10.7%.

Fiscal 2017 Outlook

For fiscal 2017, the Company expects total revenue of between $2.95 billion and $3.00 billion, and earnings per diluted share of between $7.95 and $8.10. The increased revenue projection for fiscal 2017 reflects the expected opening of seven or eight new Cracker Barrel stores, and projected increases in comparable store restaurant sales and retail sales in a range of 1.0% to 2.0%. The Company projects food commodity deflation in the range of 2.0% to 3.0% for the year. The Company projects an operating income margin of between 9.5% and 10.0% of total revenue for fiscal 2017. The Company expects depreciation expense between $85 million and $87 million; net interest expense of approximately $15 million; and capital expenditures of approximately $125 million. The Company anticipates an effective tax rate for fiscal 2017 of between 31% and 33%.

The Company expects to report earnings per diluted share for the first quarter of 2017 of between $1.75 and $1.85. The Company reminds investors that its outlook for fiscal 2017 reflects a number of assumptions, many of which are outside the Company’s control.

Cracker Barrel Reports Fourth Quarter Results

Page 9

September 14, 2016

 

CRACKER BARREL OLD COUNTRY STORE, INC.

Reconciliation of GAAP basis operating

results to adjusted non-GAAP operating results

(Unaudited and in thousands)

In the accompanying press release the Company makes reference to As Adjusted general and administrative expenses, operating income, provision for taxes and net income per share before the impact of a reduction of the provisions for uncertain tax positions, the retroactive reinstatement of the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and the prior year Fair Labor Standards Act litigation. The Company believes that excluding these items and their related tax effects from its financial results reflects operating results that are more indicative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance while improving comparability to prior periods, and, as such may provide investors with an enhanced understanding of the Company’s past financial performance and prospects for the future. This information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income or earnings per share information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
