System-wide Comparable Restaurant Sales Turn Positive in the Fiscal Third Quarter to Date

Operating Performance Optimized during the Second Quarter 2020

Reduces Outstanding Debt, Net of Cash, by Over $9 Million

LAKE FOREST, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - July 23, 2020 - Del Taco Restaurants, Inc. (“Del Taco” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: TACO), the second largest Mexican-American quick service restaurant chain by units in the United States, today reported fiscal second quarter 2020 financial results for the 12-week period ending June 16, 2020 and provided a business update related to the impact of COVID-19.

Management Commentary

John D. Cappasola, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer of Del Taco, commented, “Our restaurant teams, franchise partners and support staff are doing exceptional work supporting our people, serving our guests and strengthening our brand as we successfully navigate the business recovery phase of our strategy while preparing for brand acceleration. Despite the pandemic-induced headwind affecting our industry, our system-wide comparable restaurant sales continue to improve sequentially and are slightly positive thus far in the fiscal third quarter, led by our franchise base who is sustaining positive comparable restaurant sales across a broad 14 state geographic footprint.”

Cappasola continued, “Importantly, the sequential company comparable restaurant sales improvement paired with strong cost controls helped optimize restaurant contribution and Adjusted EBITDA performance during the second quarter. This performance, coupled with the deferral of certain non-essential capital expenditures, enabled us to reduce our outstanding debt, net of cash, at the end of the second quarter by over $9 million and maintain a relatively stable net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio compared to the end of fiscal 2019. Our financial stability and profitability improvements have allowed us to reinforce our people-centric culture by paying company General Managers healthy second quarter bonuses and introducing an enhanced employee meal program to reward our restaurant teams for their leadership and dedication to serving their communities.”

Cappasola concluded, “As 2020 progresses we will further optimize performance while laying the groundwork for brand acceleration. We plan to leverage our QSR+ strengths with innovation across our powerful barbell menu, expand our engagement in social and digital channels, and further our strategy to be a trusted and safe brand for our guests and employees. Next week, we will launch New Crispy Chicken, a unique protein within the Mexican QSR category, which will debut on the Del’s Dollar Deals menu as a new $1 Crispy Chicken Taco and in a New $5 Epic Burrito with Fresh Guacamole. We are excited to bring this new protein to market on the heels of a recent successful launch of Fresh Guacamole.”

Cash and Liquidity

During the fiscal second quarter 2020, Del Taco reduced its outstanding borrowing on its revolving credit facility to $145 million, consistent with its revolving credit facility balance at the end of fiscal year 2019. At the end of the second fiscal quarter the Company’s debt, net of cash, totaled $133.8 million compared to $143.4 million at the end of fiscal year 2019, representing a reduction of approximately $9.6 million and a relatively stable net debt to Adjusted EBITDA* leverage ratio. This performance has allowed us to maintain meaningful financial cushion with respect to our lease adjusted leverage and fixed charge coverage covenants which the Company currently expects to maintain.

As of July 23, Del Taco had over $12 million in cash on hand and $87.7 million of remaining availability under its revolving credit facility.

Review of Fiscal Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results

Total revenue decreased 13.9% to $104.6 million compared to $121.5 million in the fiscal second quarter 2019. Comparable restaurant sales decreased 10.1% system-wide, decreased 12.6% at company-operated restaurants, and decreased 7.2% at franchised restaurants.

Net loss was $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, last year.

Adjusted net income/loss*, which excludes sublease income for closed restaurants, impairment of long-lived assets, restaurant closure charges, loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, and other income, was an adjusted net loss* of $0.1 million or $0.00 per diluted share compared to adjusted net income* of $5.4 million or $0.15 per diluted share last year.

Restaurant contribution* was $15.6 million compared to $21.3 million in the fiscal second quarter 2019. As a percentage of company-operated restaurant sales, restaurant contribution margin decreased 260 basis points year-over-year to 16.4%. The decrease was the result of approximately an approximately 80 basis point increase in labor and related expenses and an approximately 240 basis point increase in occupancy and other operating expenses, partially offset by a 60 basis point decrease in food and paper costs.

Adjusted EBITDA* was $12.1 million compared to $16.7 million in the fiscal second quarter 2019.

Portfolio Optimization and Restaurant Development

During the fiscal second quarter 2020, there were one company-operated and two franchise restaurant closures. Del Taco also refranchised one restaurant to an existing franchisee.

One new company-operated restaurant and two new franchised restaurants have already opened in the fiscal third quarter 2020 and there are up to three planned franchised restaurant openings later this year.

Fiscal Year 2020 Guidance Withdrawn

As a reminder, Del Taco previously withdrew guidance for the 52-week fiscal year 2020 ending December 29, 2020. However, the Company expects to demonstrate sequential improvement in year over year restaurant contribution* margin trends during the third and fourth fiscal quarters due to our comparable restaurant sales recovery coupled with sequentially less commodity inflation and a continued focus on managing our other restaurant expenses.

Key Financial Definitions

Comparable restaurant sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable company, franchise and total system restaurant base. Restaurants are included in the comparable store base in the accounting period following its 18th full month of operations and excludes restaurant closures.

Restaurant contribution* is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating expenses, which are food and paper costs, labor and related expenses and occupancy and other operating expenses. Restaurant contribution margin is defined as restaurant contribution as a percentage of company restaurant sales. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution marginare neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are supplemental measures of operating performance of restaurants and the calculations thereof may not be comparable to those reported by other companies. Restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of results as reported under GAAP. Management believes that restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin are important tools for investors because they are widely-used metrics within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency and performance. Management uses restaurant contribution and restaurant contribution margin as key performance indicators to evaluate the profitability of incremental sales at Del Taco restaurants, to evaluate restaurant performance across periods and to evaluate restaurant financial performance compared with competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA* is defined as net income/loss prior to interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, as adjusted to add back certain charges, such as impairment of goodwill, trademark and long-lived assets, stock-based compensation expense and restaurant closure charges, as these expenses are not considered an indicator of ongoing company performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income/loss as a measure of operating performance or cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures are not necessarily calculated the same way by different companies and should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We believe Adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or changes in effective tax rates or net operating losses) and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense). We also present Adjusted EBITDA because (i) we believe this measure is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry and (ii) we use Adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark to compare performance to that of competitors.

Adjusted net income/loss* represents company net income before impairment of goodwill, trademark and long-lived assets, restaurant closure charges, sublease income related to closed restaurants, other income, executive transition costs and loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net of tax. Adjusted diluted net income/loss per share* represents company diluted net income per share before impairment of goodwill, trademark and long-lived assets, restaurant closure charges, sublease income related to closed restaurants, other income, executive transition costs and loss on disposal of assets and adjustments to assets held for sale, net of tax.
