The ONE Group Reports First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

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, 2024.

Highlights for the first quarter compared to the same quarter in 2023 are as follows:

• Total GAAP revenues increased 3.0% to $85.0 million from $82.6 million;
• Comparable sales* decreased 7.9%;
• GAAP net loss attributable to The ONE Group was $2.1 million, or $0.07 net loss per share ($0.02 adjusted net loss per share) ****, compared to GAAP net income of $2.5 million, or $0.08 per share ($0.10 adjusted net income per share) ****
• Restaurant Operating Profit*** increased 2.0% to $13.2 million from $12.9 million; and
• Adjusted EBITDA** decreased 3.6% to $10.5 million from $10.9 million.

"We grew our top-line, held restaurant-level margins stable, improved G&A as a percentage of revenue, and delivered adjusted EBITDA nearly even with the prior year despite the choppy consumer environment. We are pleased that the cost savings initiatives implemented in 2023 are working effectively and they will be even more evident upon the return to a more normalized sales environment. Our priorities remain driving sales through initiatives such as our elevated food program, national happy hour offerings, and social media-driven marketing campaigns, while maintaining disciplined control over restaurant-level operating costs and general and administrative expenses," said Emanuel "Manny" Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.

Hilario continued, "We are excited to be forging ahead with a new chapter for The ONE Group through our acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp., the parent company of the iconic Benihana brand and RA Sushi brand. This milestone transaction diversifies and strengthens our industry-leading portfolio of world-class, experiential restaurant concepts and aligns perfectly with our strategic vision of being the undisputed leader in vibe dining. Importantly, it creates a sizable and meaningful, publicly traded company at scale, which we could not have achieved organically in the near term."

Hilario concluded, "On an annual basis, the Benihana and RA Sushi brands are expected to add over $500 million in annualized revenues and approximately $70 million in annual run-rate EBITDA before synergies, which are estimated to be $20 million annually."

*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 and new restaurant openings.

**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, stock-based compensation and certain transactional and exit 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 transaction and exit expenses, 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.

Acquisition of Benihana Inc. Owner

On May 1, 2024, the Company announced it had completed its previously announced acquisition of Safflower Holdings Corp., the owner of Benihana Inc. ("Benihana"), for $365 million in cash. The transaction was financed with a portion of a new $390 million term loan and revolving credit facility and $160 million in preferred equity primarily issued to an affiliate of Hill Path Capital LP.

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased $2.4 million, or 3.0%, to $85.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $82.6 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $2.9 million, or 3.7%, to $81.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $78.6 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of six restaurants since July 2023 partially offset by a reduction in comparable restaurant sales.

Consolidated comparable sales* decreased 7.9% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2023. STK same store sales decreased 6.8% while Kona Grill same store sales decreased 9.7%.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 12.3%, to $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $4.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributed to decreased revenues at our STK restaurants in North America and the early termination of the STK Westminster management agreement in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Restaurant Operating Profit*** increased $0.3 million or 2.0% to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2023. As a percentage of Company-owned restaurant net revenues, operating profit margin decreased 30 basis points to 16.1% in the first quarter of 2024 from 16.4% in the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was due to higher average wage and operating cost inflation.

General and administrative costs were flat at $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs decreased 20 basis points to 8.9% compared to 9.1%.

Pre-opening expenses were $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. The increase was related to payroll, training, and non-cash pre-open rent for STK Washington DC which opened in the first quarter, and for STK and Kona Grill restaurants currently under development.

GAAP net loss attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the first quarter of 2024 was $2.1 million, or $0.07 net loss per share, compared to GAAP net income of $2.5 million, or $0.08 per share, in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Net Income**** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the first quarter of 2024 was a loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $3.2 million, or $0.10 per share, in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA** decreased $0.4 million, or 3.6%, to $10.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Restaurant Development

The Company intends to open eight to eleven new venues in 2024 consisting of three to four STKs, two to three Kona Grills, one to two Benihanas, one Salt Water Social and one RA Sushi. In March 2024, The Company opened a Company owned STK restaurant in Washington, DC.

There is currently one Company-owned STK restaurant, one Company-owned Kona Grill restaurant, one Company-owned Salt Water Social restaurant, and one Company-owned RA Sushi restaurant under construction in the following cities:

• Owned STK restaurant in Aventura, Florida
• Owned Kona Grill restaurant in Tigard, Oregon
• Owned Salt Water Social restaurant in Denver, Colorado
• RA Sushi restaurant in Plantation, Florida

Share Repurchase Program

In March 2024, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a $5 million share repurchase program, although no shares were purchased during the first quarter of 2024.

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 (Loss).

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):

		For the three months ended March 31,
		2024			2023
		(unaudited)			(unaudited)
Owned restaurant net revenue (1)		$	81,508		$	78,579

Combined Same Store Sales		1.6	%		(4.7	)%		(3.0	)%		(4.3	)%		(2.7	)%		(7.9	)%

Adjusted EBITDA. 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, stock-based compensation and certain transactional and exit 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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands):

		For the three months ended March 31,

_________________________
(1) Non-cash rent expense is included in owned restaurant operating expenses and general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit for the period indicated (in thousands):

		For the three months ended March 31,

Kona Grill restaurant operating profit		$	2,061		$	2,501
Kona Grill restaurant operating profit as a percentage of Kona Grill revenue			6.8%			8.1%

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before transaction and exit 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.
