DENVER - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Feb. 3, 2015 - Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014.

  • Revenue increased 26.7% to $1.07 billion
  • Comparable restaurant sales increased 16.1%
  • Restaurant level operating margin was 26.6%, an increase of 100 basis points
  • Net income was $121.2 million, an increase of 52.3%
  • Diluted earnings per share was $3.84, an increase of 51.8%
  • Opened 60 new restaurants

Highlights for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the prior year include:

  • Comparable restaurant sales increased 16.8%
  • Restaurant level operating margin was 27.2%, an increase of 60 basis points
  • Net income was $445.4 million, an increase of 36.0%
  • Diluted earnings per share was $14.13, an increase of 35.0%
  • Opened 192 new restaurants

"We continue to make significant progress on our important journey to change the way people think about and eat fast food," said Steve Ells, chairman and co-CEO of Chipotle. "Consumer trends are changing, which we believe is a great result of people becoming more discerning about where their food comes from, how it was raised, and how their meal was prepared. The continued loyalty we see from our customers, as well as third party research, and the growing number of concepts imitating Chipotle, all point to the relevance of our vision and the impact we are having on food culture. We are delighted to see that this vision, a very lofty goal, is becoming a reality."

Results for the fourth quarter 2014

Revenue for the quarter was $1.07 billion, up 26.7% from the prior year period. The growth in revenue was the result of a 16.1% increase in comparable restaurant sales and new restaurant openings. Comparable restaurant sales growth was primarily driven by an increase in customer visits, as well as the benefit of a nationwide menu price increase taken last summer.

During the quarter we opened 60 new restaurants, bringing the total restaurant count to 1,783.

Food costs were 35.0% of revenue, an increase of 110 basis points due primarily to higher dairy and beef costs, partially offset by the benefit from the menu price increase.

Restaurant level operating margin was 26.6% in the quarter, an increase of 100 basis points from the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by favorable sales leverage partially offset by higher food costs.

General and administrative expenses were 5.7% of revenue, down 90 basis points from the prior year primarily due to the timing of our accrual for annual bonus and increased acceleration of stock compensation expense into the first three quarters of the year as another officer achieved retiree status during 2014.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $121.2 million, or $3.84 per diluted share, compared to $79.6 million, or $2.53 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Results for the full year ended December 31, 2014

Revenue for the full year of 2014 was $4.11 billion, up 27.8% from the prior year. The growth in revenue was the result of a 16.8% increase in comparable restaurant sales and new restaurant openings. Comparable restaurant sales growth was primarily driven by an increase in customer visits, along with the benefit of the nationwide menu price increase taken last summer.

During the full year, we opened 192 new restaurants.

Food costs were 34.6% of revenue, an increase of 120 basis points basis points due primarily to higher beef, avocado and dairy costs, partially offset by the menu price increase.

Restaurant level operating margin was 27.2% for the full year 2014, an increase of 60 basis points from the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by favorable sales leverage partially offset by higher food costs.

General and administrative expenses for the full year 2014 were 6.7% of revenue, 40 basis points higher than the prior year. The increase as a percent of revenue was driven by higher stock based compensation expense and costs in 2014 from our biennial All Managers' Conference, partially offset by favorable sales leverage.

Net income for the full year 2014 was $445.4 million, or $14.13 per diluted share, compared to $327.4 million, or $10.47 per diluted share for 2013.

Our Board of Directors has also approved the investment of up to an additional $100 million, exclusive of commissions, to repurchase shares of our common stock. This repurchase authorization, in addition to up to approximately $98 million available as of February 2nd for repurchases under a previously announced repurchase authorization, may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

"Our performance is the direct result of the vision we have set for ourselves and the development of a people culture that makes it possible to pursue such an ambitious goal," said Monty Moran, co-CEO at Chipotle. "By hiring teams of top performers and empowering them to achieve high standards, we are constantly enhancing the experience we provide in our restaurants and our potential to continue to provide great results for our shareholders."

Outlook

For 2015, management expects the following:

  • 190 - 205 new restaurant openings
  • Low to mid-single digit comparable restaurant sales increases
  • An estimated effective tax rate of 39.0%, which excludes federal work opportunity and R&D credits, which have not been renewed for 2015.

Definitions

The following definitions apply to these terms as used throughout this release:

Comparable restaurant sales represent the change in period-over-period sales for the comparable restaurant base. A restaurant becomes comparable in its 13th full calendar month of operation.

Average restaurant sales refer to the average trailing 12-month sales for restaurants in operation for at least 12 full calendar months.

Restaurant level operating margin represents total revenue less restaurant operating costs, expressed as a percent of total revenue.

About Chipotle

Steve Ells, founder, chairman and co-CEO, started Chipotle with the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared using classic cooking methods and served in a distinctive atmosphere. Through our vision of Food With Integrity, Chipotle is seeking better food from using ingredients that are not only fresh, but that--where possible--are sustainably grown and raised responsibly with respect for the animals, the land, and the farmers who produce the food. In order to achieve this vision, we focus on building a special people culture that is centered on creating teams of top performers empowered to achieve high standards. This people culture not only leads to a better dining experience for our customers, it also allows us to develop future leaders from within. Chipotle opened with a single restaurant in 1993 and operates more than 1,780 restaurants, including 17 Chipotle restaurants outside the US, nine ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen restaurants, and is an investor in an entity that owns and operates two Pizzeria Locale restaurants.
