DALLAS (April 28, 2021) – Brinker International, Inc. (NYSE: EAT) today announced results for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 ended March 24, 2021, and provided a financial update for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.
“I am very pleased with the ongoing growth of our business as our guests are able to return in greater numbers to Chili’s and Maggiano’s dining rooms,” said Wyman Roberts, CEO and President. “This reopening trend, supported by investment in our digital platforms and virtual brands, now has us meaningfully outperforming our F19 sales and traffic results.”
Fiscal 2021 Highlights - Third Quarter
The third quarter of fiscal 2021 results reflect the continued impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. At the end of the third quarter, substantially all of our Company-owned restaurant dining rooms or patios were open in some capacity in accordance with state and local mandates.
•Operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased to $52.2 million as compared to $41.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
•Restaurant operating margin in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased to 13.9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 12.8% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
•Chili’s Company sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 increased to $749.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 as compared to $748.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
•Net income per diluted share, on a GAAP basis, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.73 compared to $0.81 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, and excluding special items Net income per diluted share in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was $0.78 compared to $1.28 in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
•Net cash provided by operating activities in the thirty-nine week period ended March 24, 2021 was $268.6 million, and capital expenditures totaled $62.4 million resulting in free cash flow of $206.2 million.
•The estimated impact of Winter Storm “Uri” during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 was a decrease in Company sales of $10.5 million, comparable restaurant sales of 1.2%, and Net income per diluted share, excluding special items, of $0.06.

Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2021 Guidance
We are providing a financial outlook for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The uncertainties created by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, as well as other risks and uncertainties, could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
•Revenues are expected to be in the range of $950 million to $1.0 billion.
•Net income per diluted share, excluding special items, is expected to be in the range of $1.55 to $1.70.
•Diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter are expected to be in the range of 47.0 million to 48.0 million.
Fiscal 2021 is a 53-week year, and includes an extra operating week in the fourth quarter.
We are unable to reliably forecast special items such as restaurant impairments, restaurant closures, reorganization charges and legal settlements without unreasonable effort. As such, we do not present a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP measures to the corresponding GAAP measures. If special items are reported during fiscal 2021, reconciliations to the appropriate GAAP measures will be provided.

(1) Company restaurant expenses includes Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses, and excludes Depreciation and amortization, General and administrative and Other (gains) and charges.
Chili’s
•Chili’s Company sales increased primarily due to increased off-premise sales including It’s Just Wings, partially offset by lower dining room sales and the impact of Winter Storm Uri.
•Chili’s Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to lower advertising expenses, lower hourly labor expenses, and favorable menu item mix, partially offset by higher expenses related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales and higher manager bonus expenses.
Maggiano’s
•Maggiano’s Company sales decreased primarily due to lower dining room sales, partially offset by increased off-premise sales.
•Maggiano’s Company restaurant expenses, as a percentage of Company sales, decreased primarily due to lower manager and hourly labor expenses, lower repairs and maintenance expenses, lower variable rent expenses, favorable menu item mix, lower banquet expenses, lower credit card fees, lower advertising expenses and lower utilities expenses. These decreases were partially offset by sales deleverage, higher expenses related to delivery fees and supplies in connection with the growth in off-premise sales, higher manager bonus expenses and higher insurance expenses.
Franchise and other revenues
•Franchise and other revenues declined primarily due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our domestic and global franchise restaurants. Our franchisees generated sales of approximately $190.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $218.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
3
•Maggiano’s Franchise and other revenues decreased primarily due to lower banquet volume driven by the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Income Taxes
•On a GAAP basis, the effective income tax rate increased to 11.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to a benefit of 13.2% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 primarily driven by leverage on the FICA tip tax credit, partially offset by the favorable impact of excess benefits associated with stock-based compensation. Excluding the impact of special items (see non-GAAP reconciliation below for details), the effective income tax rate increased to 15.0% in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 4.7% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 driven by improved operating performance.

(1) Comparable Restaurant Sales include all restaurants that have been in operation for more than 18 months except acquired restaurants which are included after 12 months of ownership. Restaurants temporarily closed 14 days or more are excluded from comparable restaurant sales. Percentage amounts are calculated based on the comparable periods year-over-year.
(2) Comparable Restaurant Sales for Q3:21 vs 20 include the results of It’s Just Wings, a virtual brand launched nationally in June 2020.

(3) Mix-Shift is calculated as the year-over-year percentage change in Company sales resulting from the change in menu items ordered by guests.
(4) Chili’s franchise sales generated by franchisees are not included in revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Unaudited); however, we generate royalty revenues and advertising fees based on franchisee revenues, where applicable. We believe presenting Chili’s franchise comparable restaurant sales provides investors relevant information regarding total brand performance.
(5) Chili’s domestic Comparable Restaurant Sales percentages are derived from sales generated by Company-owned and franchise-operated Chili’s restaurants in the United States.
(6) System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales are derived from sales generated by Company-owned Chili’s and Maggiano’s restaurants in addition to the sales generated at franchise-operated Chili’s restaurants.
Reconciliation of Net Income Excluding Special Items (in millions, except per share amounts)

Restaurant operating margin is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of financial performance. Restaurant operating margin is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations. This non-GAAP measure is not indicative of overall Company performance and profitability because this measure does not directly accrue benefit to the shareholders due to the nature of costs excluded. We define Restaurant operating margin as Company sales less Food and beverage costs, Restaurant labor and Restaurant expenses. We believe this metric provides a more useful comparison between periods and enables investors to focus on the performance of restaurant-level operations by excluding revenues not related to food and beverage sales at Company-owned restaurants, corporate General and administrative expenses, Depreciation and amortization, and Other (gains) and charges.
Restaurant operating margin excludes Franchise and other revenues which are earned primarily from franchise royalties, advertising fees, and other non-food and beverage revenues streams such as delivery service income, gift card breakage, banquet service charges and digital entertainment revenues. Depreciation and amortization expenses, substantially all of which are related to restaurant-level assets, are excluded because such expenses represent historical costs which do not reflect current cash outlays for the restaurants. General and administrative expenses include primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices and are therefore excluded. We believe that excluding special items, included within Other (gains) and charges, from Restaurant operating margin provides investors with a clearer perspective of the Company’s ongoing operating performance and a more useful comparison to prior period results. Restaurant operating margin as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in our industry.
