Dutch Bros Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Announces Two New Directors

Opened 39 New Systemwide Shops in Q3 2023

Record Revenue of $265 million, a 33% Increase Year-over-Year

Updates 2023 Guidance, Increases Range for Adjusted EBITDA

Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE: BROS; “Dutch Bros” or the “Company”), one of the fastest-growing brands in the food service and restaurant industry in the United States by location count, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

Joth Ricci, Chief Executive Officer of Dutch Bros, stated, “By all accounts, Q3 was a fantastic quarter, and we are extremely pleased with our unit openings, same shop sales, revenue, and profitability results. I am very proud of the team for their accomplishments, and I am encouraged by the strength of the underlying business as we execute on our plan. In Q3, we opened 39 shops systemwide and entered two new states: Alabama and Kentucky. Despite a difficult consumer backdrop, we drove a 4.0% increase in systemwide same shop sales and delivered 33% growth in our top-line revenue.”

Ricci continued, “Even as we demonstrate our commitment to profitable growth, it is vital that we continue investing in the business. Our focus will therefore remain on recruiting and retaining top talent and keeping our operations efficient and competitive long-term. This way, we can ensure that our people pipeline and systems stay strong while preserving and amplifying our culture.”

He concluded, “During Q3 in a span of less than 45 days, we executed two transactions, an upgrade of our credit facility and a follow-on equity offering, that unlocked a total of almost $500 million in incremental liquidity and positioned our balance sheet to support a long runway of growth. We intend to continue confidently pursuing high-quality investments in new shops on our path to 4,000.”

Director Appointments

The Company welcomed two new members of the Board of Directors, C. David Cone and Sean Sullivan, who were recently added to fill vacancies on the Board resulting from the resignations of Shelley Broader and Charles Esserman. Mr. Cone will serve on the Audit and Risk Committee.

Mr. Cone served as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President at Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), a residential homebuilding business and land developer, from October 2012 to December 2021. Prior to that, he held various roles at PetSmart, Inc. from 2003 to 2012, while the company was publicly-listed, most recently as Vice President, Finance Planning and Analysis. Mr. Cone previously served on the board of directors for Urbi Desarrollos Urbanos SAB DE CV. He received a B.A. in Business Economics with an emphasis in Accounting from the University of California at Santa Barbara.

Mr. Sullivan has served as Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy and Legal Officer of The Duckhorn Portfolio, Inc. (NYSE: NAPA), a producer of luxury wines in North America, since February 2019. Prior to that, he served as an attorney at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, a multinational law firm, from 2012 to 2019. Mr. Sullivan previously worked as an investment banker at Credit Suisse Group AG. He received a J.D. from Columbia Law School, and a B.A. in Economics and Politics from St. Mary’s College of California.

  • Total revenues grew 33.2% to $264.5 million as compared to $198.6 million in the same period of 2022.
  • System same shop sales1 increased 4.0%, inclusive of the impact of our fortressing strategy, which results in sales being transferred from existing shops to new ones, as compared to the same period in 2022. Company-operated same shop sales increased 2.8%, as compared to the same period of 2022.
  • Company-operated shop revenues increased 36.3% to $236.5 million, as compared to $173.5 million in the same period of 2022.

  • Company-operated shop contribution2, a non-GAAP financial measure, grew 65.4% to $73.3 million as compared to $44.3 million in the same period of 2022. In the third quarter of 2023, company-operated shop contribution margin, which includes 180bps of pre-opening expense, improved to 31.0%, a year-over-year increase of 540 bps.
  • Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $50.5 million (19.1% of revenue) as compared to $45.4 million (22.9% of revenue) in the same period of 2022.
  • Adjusted selling, general, and administrative expenses2, a non-GAAP financial measure, were $40.6 million (15.3% of revenue) as compared to $34.7 million (17.5% of revenue) in the same period of 2022.
  • Net income was $13.4 million as compared to $1.6 million in the same period of 2022.

Outlook

Dutch Bros is providing the following guidance for the year 2023:

  • Our expectation for total system shop openings in 2023 remains unchanged. We expect to open at least 150 new shops, of which at least 130 will be company-operated.
  • Our expectation for capital expenditures remains unchanged, which we expect to be in the range of $225 million to $250 million. This includes approximately $15 million to $20 million in spending in 2023 for a new roasting facility, which is projected to open in 2024.
  • Our estimate of system same shop sales growth in the low single digits remains unchanged.
  • Our expectation that revenue would be at the lower end of the range of $950 million to $1 billion remains unchanged.
  • Given the strength of company-operated shops and continued SG&A leverage, we now estimate Adjusted EBITDA3 will be between $150 million to $155 million, up $15 million from last quarter. This reflects stronger than expected year-to-date profitability in Q3, partially offset by the increased shop labor investments in the range of $1.5 million to $2.0 million as well as certain investments we intend to make in business building activities throughout the fourth quarter.

Same shop sales is defined in the section “Select Financial Metrics”.

2

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

3

We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops that have been open a minimum of 15 months. AUVs are calculated by dividing the systemwide and company-operated shop net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations.

 

2

Same shop sales reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table.

Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

 

4

Company-operated and franchise shops operating weeks are calculated based on the number operating days for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as shops opened as of the end date of the periods presented. The operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through 2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.

 

5

Dutch Rewards is our digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Company-operated shop contribution (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)

Definition and/or calculation

Company-operated segment gross profit, before company-operated shop depreciation and amortization. Company-operated shop contribution in dollars (as defined), taken as a percentage of company-operated shop revenue.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used by our management in making performance decisions without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. This is a standard metric used across the industry by our investors.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)

EBITDA — definition and/or calculation

Net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income tax expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted EBITDA — definition and/or calculation

Defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based compensation, COVID-19: “Thank You” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events, executives transition costs, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRAs, and estimated expense related to certain legal disputes.

Usefulness to management and investors

These non-GAAP measures are supplemental operating performance measures we believe facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors’ operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures presented provide investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted selling, general, and administrative (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)

Definition and/or calculation

Selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding equity-based compensation expense, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events, executive transitions costs, and estimated expense related to certain legal disputes.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe the non-GAAP measure presented provides investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because it excludes items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

Adjusted net income

Definition and/or calculation

Net income (loss), excluding equity-based compensation expense, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, executives transition costs, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRAs, and income tax effects of items excluded from net income (loss).

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.

Adjusted fully exchanged weighted-average shares of diluted common stock outstanding

Definition and/or calculation

Weighted-average shares of Class A and Class D common stock outstanding - basic with addition of dilutive impacts of RSAs and RSUs, as well as the assumed exchange of the weighted-average shares of Class B and Class C common stock.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By adding in the assumed full exchange of all of our outstanding Class B and Class C common stock, we believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.

Adjusted net income per fully exchanged share of diluted common stock

Definition and/or calculation

Net income (loss) per share of Class A and Class D common stock - diluted, excluding per share impacts of equity-based compensation expense, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events, executives transition costs, income tax effects of items excluded from net income (loss), and removal of per share impacts of controlling and non-controlling interests.

Usefulness to management and investors

This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all of our outstanding Class B and Class C common stock and related net income (loss) adjustments, we believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.

Non-GAAP adjustments

Below are the definitions of the non-GAAP adjustments that are used in the calculation of our non-GAAP measures, as described above.

Equity-based compensation

Non-cash expenses related to the grant and vesting of stock awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in Dutch Bros Inc. and/or Profit Interest Units in Dutch Bros OpCo1 to certain eligible employees.

COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave

Costs related to two separate programs established to support employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented an hourly wage supplement program for shop employees who continued to work while their state or county was under a stay at home order or similar lockdown requirement. This program lasted in various markets until April 2021. We also established a catastrophic leave policy that provided paid leave to employees who were required to quarantine due to in-shop exposures and could not work their regular hours. The catastrophic leave program was retired in May 2023.

COVID-19: Prepaid costs not utilized

Costs related to the write-off of previously prepaid expenses for the development of a virtual corporate engagement platform built in response to the health restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform was developed as a substitute for in person engagement practices used pre-pandemic. The platform has been determined ineffective, particularly as we shift back to in-person events with the easing of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Milestone events

Costs incurred for company-wide events to celebrate 30 years of serving high QUALITY, hand-crafted beverages with unparalleled SPEED and superior SERVICE to our customers.

Executives transition costs

Employee severance and related benefit costs, as well as sign-on bonus(es) for several executive level transitions occurring in 2022 and 2023.

TRAs remeasurements

(Gain) loss impacts on condensed consolidated statements of operations related to adjustments of our TRAs liabilities.

Legal proceedings

Estimated loss accrual related to certain legal disputes.

Dilutive effects of RSAs and RSUs

Addition of incremental shares of RSAs and RSUs calculated under the treasury stock method, when they are dilutive for the calculation of weighted-average shares on a non-GAAP basis.

Assumed exchange of weighted-average Class B and Class C shares of common stock

Weighted-average shares of Class B and Class C common stock that are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock.

Removal of allocation for controlling and non-controlling interests

Removal of the net income (loss) allocation to controlling and non-controlling interests to align the numerator of the net income (loss) per share to the denominator, which assumes the full exchange of shares of Class B and Class C common stock.

Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals

Following are the reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to non-GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the reconciliations from U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP actuals should be carefully evaluated. Please refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, the ways management uses the non-GAAP measures, and the reasons why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.
