Challenges Ahead

  • Selling, general and administrative costs: $127 to $132 million
  • Capital expenditures: $45 to $50 million
  • The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Restaurant Level Operating Profit or Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Income from operations and Net income, respectively.
  • Providing Income (loss) from operations and Net Income (loss) guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Income from operations and Net income (loss), including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments.
  • The reconciliations of Restaurant Level Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA to Income from operations and Net income (loss), respectively, for the historical periods presented herein is indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance.
