Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2019Q3 Diluted EPS of $0.11 and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.10

Q3 GAAP Operating Margin Expansion of 100 bps and 60 bps on a Comparable Adjusted Basis

Reaffirms Full-Year 2019 Guidance for Adjusted Diluted EPS and Adjusted Operating Margin

Company Exploring Strategic Alternatives to Maximize Shareholder Value

TAMPA, Fla., November 6, 2019 - Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the third quarter 2019 (“Q3 2019”) compared to the third quarter 2018 (“Q3 2018”).

Highlights for Q3 2019 include the following:

• Comparable restaurant sales increased 0.2% at U.S. Outback Steakhouse, representing its 11th consecutive quarter of positive comparable restaurant sales

• Comparable restaurant sales increased 11.2% for Outback Steakhouse in Brazil

• Opened eight new restaurants, including five international franchise locations

Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS

Our Q3 2019 results include the impact of the new lease accounting standard adopted in Q1 2019. Among its impacts, we no longer recognize the benefit of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions, resulting in an increase to Other restaurant operating expense which represents a two cent reduction in earnings per share on the quarter. The following table includes both a reported and a comparable basis that adjusts for this lease accounting change.

The following table reconciles Diluted earnings per share to Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the periods as indicated below.

	Q3
	2019			2018			CHANGE
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.11		$	0.04		$	0.07
Adjustments	(0.01		)	0.06			(0.07		)
Adjusted diluted earnings per share	$	0.10		$	0.10		$	—

Adjusted diluted earnings per share on a comparable basis (1)	$	0.10		$	0.08		$	0.02

______________

See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release.

(1) In Q3 2018 both GAAP and adjusted diluted earnings per share include the benefit of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions of approximately $0.02. For comparability, we have presented adjusted diluted earnings per share excluding this benefit that we no longer recognize in 2019 as a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

CEO Comments

“Q3 earnings per share increased 25% on a comparable adjusted basis as we focus on building healthy traffic and improving profitability,” said David Deno, CEO. “U.S. comp sales were flat with traffic significantly outperforming the industry. We have intentionally moderated our average check increases to further strengthen our value relative to competition across the portfolio. This pricing discipline combined with sales momentum from investments in the customer experience and off-premises is building, with October trends significantly out-pacing the industry. This strategy combined with disciplined cost management, drove operating margins higher by 60 basis points on comparable adjusted basis versus last year. We remain well positioned to finish the year strong and achieve our earnings commitments.”

Third Quarter Financial Results

As described above, our Q3 2019 results include the impact from adopting the new lease accounting standard, which reduces operating margins by 30 basis points. The following table includes both a reported and a comparable basis that adjusts for the lease accounting change:

	AS REPORTED								COMPARABLE BASIS (1)
(dollars in millions)	Q3 2019			Q3 2018			CHANGE		Q3 2018			CHANGE
Total revenues	$	967.1		$	965.0		0.2	%	$	965.0		0.2	%
GAAP restaurant-level operating margin	12.9		%	12.5		%	0.4	%	12.2		%	0.7	%
Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin (2)	12.5		%	12.4		%	0.1	%	12.1		%	0.4	%
GAAP operating income margin	2.3		%	1.3		%	1.0	%	1.0		%	1.3	%
Adjusted operating income margin (2)	2.3		%	2.0		%	0.3	%	1.7		%	0.6	%

___________________

(1) To improve comparability in this table, we removed the benefit of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions from our Q3 2018 results.

(2) See Non-GAAP Measures later in this release.

• The increase in total revenues was primarily due to higher comparable restaurant sales in Brazil and the net impact of restaurant openings and closures, partially offset by the impact of domestic refranchising.

• The increase in reported GAAP operating income margin was primarily due to higher comparable restaurant sales in Brazil, the impact of certain cost savings initiatives, and gains on the sale of certain U.S. surplus properties. This increase was partially offset by commodity, operating and labor inflation, delivery rollout costs, and the impact from adopting the new lease accounting standard as described above.

• The primary difference between GAAP and Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin is that Q3 adjusted restaurant-level operating margin excludes the benefit related to gains on the sale of certain U.S. surplus properties.

Dividend Declaration

On October 24, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share to be paid on November 27, 2019 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 18, 2019.

Fiscal 2019 Financial Outlook

We are updating our 2019 financial outlook for U.S. comparable restaurant sales, commodity inflation, capital expenditures, and our tax rates. Although U.S. comparable restaurant sales across the portfolio have improved in October, we remain cautious on industry sales trends given industry declines in the third quarter. All other aspects of our previously provided full year financial outlook remain unchanged. See the table below for more details.

Financial Results:	Prior Outlook	Current Outlook
Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1)	$1.53 to $1.61	$1.53 to $1.61
GAAP diluted earnings per share (1)	$1.44 to $1.52	$1.44 to $1.52
GAAP effective income tax rate (1)	6% to 7%	5% to 6%
Adjusted effective income tax rate (1)	7% to 8%	6% to 7%
Adjusted operating income margin (1)	4.8% to 5.0%	4.8% to 5.0%
Other Selected Financial Data:
Combined U.S. comparable restaurant sales	2.0% to 2.5%	Approx. 1.5%
Commodity inflation	Approx. 2%	Approx. 1.5%
Capital expenditures	$175M to $200M	Approx. $175M
Number of new system-wide restaurants	Approx. 20	Approx. 20

___________________

(1) The primary difference between our GAAP outlook and our adjusted outlook for diluted earnings per share, effective income tax rate and operating income margin is driven by adjustments through Q3 2019 as reflected in Table 5 of this release, as well as anticipated adjustments in connection with our relocation and restaurant closure initiatives.

Company Exploring Strategic Alternatives

The Company also announced that it is exploring and evaluating strategic alternatives that have the potential to maximize value for our shareholders, including but not limited to, a possible sale of the Company. The Board of Directors has retained BofA Securities, Inc. as its financial advisor.

“Over the past few years Bloomin’ Brands has made significant progress towards its long term objectives to elevate the customer experience, capitalize on the emerging off-premises segment, expand the rapidly growing international business, and improve operating margins. These efforts have created significant market share gains and enhanced profitability,” said David Deno, Chief Executive Officer of Bloomin’ Brands. “However, despite this continued progress, we believe the current stock price does not reflect the value of the Company. That is why the time is right to explore strategic alternatives that have the potential to maximize value for our shareholders. Our Board of Directors is committed to fully evaluating appropriate strategic alternatives while simultaneously supporting the Company’s ongoing progress against our business plan.”

The Company plans to proceed in a timely manner, but has not set a definitive timetable for completion of this process. There can be no assurance that this review will result in a transaction or other strategic alternative of any kind. The Company does not intend to make any further public comment regarding the review unless it determines that disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

The conference call can be accessed live over the telephone by dialing (855) 327-6838 or (604) 235-2082 for international participants.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP and include the following: (i) Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted net income, (iv) Adjusted diluted earnings per share, (v) Adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margin and (vi) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin. For purposes of improving comparability, we have also presented Adjusted diluted earnings per share and Adjusted operating income margin excluding the impact of the new lease accounting standard in the table above.

We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in tables four, five, and six included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

_________________

(1) During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2019, net working capital (deficit) was negatively impacted by the recognition of approximately $170 million of current lease liabilities as a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on Restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

(2) The change in total assets during the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2019 includes the addition of $1.3 billion of lease right-of-use assets as a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

(3) During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2019, we repurchased 5.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock and issued 0.6 million shares of our common stock through the exercise of stock options.

_________________

(1) The table set forth below titled “Restaurant-level Operating Margin Adjustments” provides additional information regarding the adjustments for each period presented.

(2) During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2018 both GAAP and adjusted restaurant-level operating margin included the benefit of deferred gains on sale-leaseback transactions of $3.1 million and $9.2 million, respectively. For comparability, we presented adjusted restaurant-level operating margin excluding this benefit that we no longer recognize in 2019 as a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.

(3) The following categories of our revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:

(i) Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income.

(ii) Depreciation and amortization which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants.

(iii) General and administrative expense which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices.

(iv) Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs which are not reflective of ongoing restaurant performance in a period.

Restaurant-level Operating Margin Adjustments - Following is a summary of unfavorable (favorable) restaurant-level operating margin adjustments recorded in Other restaurant operating expense for the following activities, as described in table five of this release:
