MARYVILLE, Tenn. - July 23, 2015 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Ruby Tuesday, Inc. (NYSE: RT) today reported financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and year ended June 2, 2015.

Financial Performance Highlights

Results for the fourth quarter include:

  • Net Income from Continuing Operations totaled $4.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, compared to a Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $881,000, or ($0.01) per diluted share, for the same quarter in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations* was $7.2 million, or Adjusted EPS* of $0.12 per diluted share, compared to Adjusted Net Income from Continuing Operations of $3.5 million, or Adjusted EPS of $0.06 per diluted share, in the same quarter of the prior year.
  • Total revenue was $296.8 million compared to $307.3 million last year, a decrease of $10.5 million, or 3.4%, primarily due to a net reduction of 10 Company-owned Ruby Tuesday restaurants compared to the fourth quarter last year and a same-restaurant sales decline of 1.7% at Company-owned Ruby Tuesday restaurants. Year-over-year same-restaurant guest counts were down 4.6% for the quarter.
  • During the quarter, the Company prepaid $5.2 million of mortgage debt. Subsequent to the end of fiscal 2015, the Company further simplified its debt structure by eliminating one mortgage lender with the payoff of $8.3 million of mortgage debt.

*A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures is included in the schedules accompanying the consolidated financial statements in this release.

Results for the 2015 fiscal year include:

  • Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $3.2 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share, compared to Net Loss from Continuing Operations of $64.9 million, or ($1.08) per diluted share, in the prior year.

  • Total revenue from continuing operations was $1.13 billion, a decrease 3.6% from the prior year, primarily due to a net reduction of 10 Company-owned Ruby Tuesday restaurants year over year and a 0.5% decrease in same-restaurant sales at Company-owned restaurants. Year-over-year same-restaurant guest counts were down 1.4%.
  • Restaurant Level Margins improved 160 basis points to 16.7% of restaurant sales and operating revenue.

Comments on Fiscal Year 2015 Accomplishments

JJ Buettgen, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO, commented, "While we were disappointed with the fourth quarter top-line results, both same-restaurant sales and guest counts improved throughout the quarter and into the first quarter of fiscal 2016. We are pleased with the progress we made on our brand transformation and business model initiatives in fiscal 2015. Our annual same-restaurant guest counts were in-line with the Knapp TrackTM industry benchmark, we improved restaurant level margins and lowered SG&A expense which resulted in a meaningful improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. We have continued to strengthen our balance sheet by reducing debt and building cash reserves. We are laying a strong foundation for the future of the brand and company.”

Buettgen continued, “Over the past fiscal year, we’ve made headway on each of the four pillars that support our brand transformation:

  • We have continued to innovate and improve our menu, adding new food and drink options, resulting in increased guest satisfaction ratings on both taste and quality as well as increased average check.
  • We have enhanced our guest service experience by implementing our Memorable Service Training platform, resulting in improved scores in server attentiveness and increased add-on sales.
  • We began work on enhancing the restaurant atmosphere by developing new design elements to be tested in fiscal 2016.
  • We are becoming more strategic and targeted in our communication and marketing efforts as we diversify our communications model to achieve a broader reach and focusing marketing spend on new product and service launches.”

Fiscal 2016 Outlook

Management estimates Adjusted EPS to range from $0.12 to $0.17, based on the following assumptions:

  • Same-Restaurant Sales – Fiscal 2016 same-restaurant sales to be in the range of flat to up 2%. First quarter-to-date, same-restaurant sales are in-line with this range.
  • Unit Development – A net reduction of 11-14 Company-owned Ruby Tuesday restaurants.
  • Restaurant Level Margins – Fiscal 2016 Restaurant Level Margins ranging from 17.0% to 17.5% of restaurant sales and operating revenue which compares to 16.7% in fiscal 2015.
  • Selling, General, and Administrative Expense – Fiscal 2016 SG&A ranging from $116 to $120 million, compared to $115.3 million in fiscal 2015.
  • Effective Tax Rate and Taxes – An effective tax rate of approximately 44%. As discussed below, the Company is limited in the amount of tax credits that can be utilized each year based upon taxable income for that year and currently cannot recognize a full benefit of any year’s currently generated tax credits or tax credit carry-forwards.
  • Capital Expenditures – Fiscal 2016 capital expenditures ranging from $34 to $38 million.

Deferred Income Tax Valuation Allowance

The Company has a three-year cumulative pre-tax loss, which management considered when evaluating the realization of gross deferred tax assets. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the three-year cumulative pre-tax loss is taken into account in the analysis of the realization of these deferred tax assets, despite the Company’s expectation that it will realize earnings during this period, and has resulted in the establishment of the valuation allowance, which was $62.8 million at the end of fiscal 2015. Given the nature of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the long carry-forward period associated with its employment tax credits and state net operating loss carry- forwards, the Company expects to eventually recover a substantial amount of the deferred tax assets to the extent the Company generates sufficient levels of income.

*Non-GAAP Reconciliations

The Company believes excluding certain items from its financial results provides investors with a clearer understanding of the Company’s operating performance and comparison to prior-period results. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios to assess the results of the Company’s operations.

We have included Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EPS to provide investors with supplemental measures of our operating performance. We believe these are important supplemental measures of operating performance because they eliminate items that have less bearing on our Company-wide operating performance and thus highlight trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on financial measures in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We also believe that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations in the evaluation of issuers. Because other companies in some cases calculate EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations, or Adjusted EPS differently from the way we calculate such measures, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Additionally, supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The use of these measures permits a comparative assessment of the Company's operating performance relative to its performance based on U.S. GAAP results, while isolating the effects of certain items that vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, the inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which the adjustments have been made are unusual or infrequent.

The following table shows the reconciliation of Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations and Adjusted EPS, all non-GAAP financial measures. The Company defines EBITDA as income before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization and Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, excluding certain non-cash and non-recurring expenses including, but not limited to: Restaurant Closing Costs, Impairments, Executive Transition & Severance, Other Corporate Restructuring Charges, and Loss on the Extinguishment of Debt. Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations is defined as Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations, excluding certain non-cash or non-recurring expenses as detailed in Adjusted EBITDA, net of tax as well as adjustments related to Debt Prepayment Penalties, Deferred Financing Fees and Income Tax Valuation Allowance. Adjusted EPS is defined as Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) from Continuing Operations divided by shares outstanding.
