THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY REPORTS RESULTS FOR

FOURTH QUARTER OF FISCAL 2021 AND PROVIDES BUSINESS UPDATE

 

Fourth quarter Consolidated Revenues Up 40% to a Record $776.7 Million

 

CALABASAS HILLS, Calif., – February 16, 2022 – The Cheesecake Factory Incorporated (NASDAQ: CAKE) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, which ended on December 28, 2021.

 

Total revenues were $776.7 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to
$554.6 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. Net income available to common stockholders and diluted net income per common share were $2.1 million and $0.04, respectively, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

 

The company recorded $29.1 million related to pre-tax charges of asset impairments and FRC acquisition-related items, as well as a reserve for uncertain tax positions. Excluding the after-tax impact of these items, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 were $24.9 million and $0.49, respectively. Please see the Company’s reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures at the end of this press release.

 

Comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants increased 33.8% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. Relative to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, comparable restaurant sales at The Cheesecake Factory restaurants increased 7.7%.

 

As of today, indoor dining restrictions have been lifted for nearly all of the company’s restaurants across all its concepts. Fiscal 2022 first quarter-to-date through February 15th comparable sales for The Cheesecake Factory restaurants increased approximately 24.3% year-over-year, supported by approximately 30% off-premise sales mix.

 

“We posted another quarter of solid sales performance across our brands, continuing to outperform the broader casual dining industry and recording record revenues despite the surge in COVID-19 cases from the Omicron variant towards the end of the year,” said David Overton, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Specifically, fourth quarter comparable sales at The Cheesecake Factory were running at 10.6% going into the third week of December relative to fiscal 2019. We believe our operating results would have been in line with expectations but for the softer sales trend during the last two weeks of the quarter which coincided with the Omicron surge.”

Overton continued, “I remain proud of our teams for how they have navigated through all of the challenges this past year while continuing to deliver delicious, memorable experiences for our guests. As we look ahead, I am confident that our best in-class operators will continue to effectively manage through this volatile operating environment, and with our development pipeline in place and solid comparable sales trends across our brands, we are well-positioned to continue to take market share.”

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, four new restaurants opened, including The Cheesecake Factory in Huntsville, AL, North Italia in Orlando and a Blanco and a Culinary Dropout in Denver, meeting the Company’s development objective of opening 14 new restaurants across its concepts during fiscal 2021.

 

In addition, internationally a third The Cheesecake Factory opened in Shanghai under a licensing agreement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Results to GAAP Results

 

In addition to the results provided in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company is providing non-GAAP measurements which present net income and net income per share excluding the impact of certain items. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are calculated by eliminating from net income and diluted net income per share the impact of items the Company does not consider indicative of its ongoing operations. To reflect the then potential impact of the conversion of the Company’s convertible preferred stock into common stock for the period that it was outstanding prior to the repurchase and conversion on June 15, 2021, the Company excludes the preferred dividend and assumes all convertible preferred shares convert to common stock. The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons.
