Papa Johns Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results; Increases Cash Dividend by 10%

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2023-- Papa John’s International, Inc. (NASDAQ: PZZA) (“Papa Johns®”) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended June 25, 2023.

Highlights

  • North America comparable sales were down 1% compared with the second quarter of 2022 as the strength of Domestic Company-owned restaurants was offset by lower North America franchised restaurant comparable sales; International comparable sales were down 1% from a year ago and improved 5% from the first quarter.
  • 47 net unit openings in the second quarter driven by International growth; On track to achieve 270 to 310 net new units in 2023.
  • Global system-wide restaurant sales were $1.22 billion, a 2%(a) increase from the prior year second quarter.
  • Total revenues of $515 million were down 2% from the second quarter a year ago driven by lower revenues in our North American commissary segment due to commodity price declines.
  • Diluted earnings per common share was $0.54, compared with $0.70 for the second quarter of 2022; Adjusted diluted earnings per common share(b) was $0.59, compared with $0.74 for the second quarter a year ago.
  • Announced 10% increase in annual dividend rate to $1.84 per share; declared third quarter dividend of $0.46.

“We are pleased with the solid execution that our teams have demonstrated in what continues to be a challenging operating environment,” said Rob Lynch, President and CEO. “Our company restaurants continued their strong performance with positive comp sales growth and year-over-year margin improvement above and beyond the benefits of moderating food costs. However, this solid performance was not enough to offset the lower-than-anticipated comps our franchisees experienced during the quarter. That being said, our entire system saw sequential sales improvement throughout the quarter with positive North America comp sales in June. This positive momentum has carried over, and accelerated, into the third quarter and we expect it to continue as we optimize our system’s revenue management strategies and expand one of our most popular pizza platforms with the recent introduction of Garlic Epic Stuffed Crust Pizza.”

Commenting on the Company’s International operations, Lynch stated, “Our international business is a long-term growth driver for Papa Johns. We’ve recently established a corporate-owned restaurant portfolio in the UK, our largest international market, allowing us to build a similar success model to the one we’ve created in the US. This model accelerates our ability to scale our company’s capabilities with franchisees in the UK, and worldwide, to grow comps and new unit development. While we know there will be macro-economic challenges ahead, particularly in the short term, we’re confident that we can improve sales and profitability within our UK market, and in our international segment overall.”

Lynch concluded by stating, “The level of operating and fiscal discipline our team has implemented across our business over the past year is remarkable. Our continued investments in sales-driving capabilities and operational excellence, combined with the strength of our balance sheet, gives us confidence that we will produce positive comp sales and attractive new unit development growth in the back half of 2023 and over the long-term.”

(a) Represents a Non-GAAP financial measure. See “Non-GAAP Measures” for a reconciliation to the most comparable US GAAP measures.

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company completed the purchase of 91 formerly franchised restaurants in the United Kingdom. The restaurants are now operating as International Company-owned restaurants effective June 2, 2023. Our second quarter results include royalty revenues for these restaurants for the period until June 2, 2023, and the restaurants are consolidated after this date with results reflected in International revenues and expenses.

Total revenues of $514.5 million decreased $8.1 million, or 1.6%, in the second quarter of 2023 compared with the prior year period. Excluding the impact of purchasing the 91 International stores in 2023, total revenues decreased $9.8 million, or 1.9%, compared with the prior period. The revenue decline was driven by lower North American commissary revenues, driven by lower sales volume and decreased commodity prices in 2023 as compared to 2022. The decrease was partially offset by comparable sales growth from Domestic Company-owned restaurants. 

For the second quarter of 2023, global system-wide restaurant sales were $1.22 billion, up 2.0% from a year ago (excluding the impact of foreign currency). The increase reflected higher equivalent units from net restaurant openings primarily in International markets.

Operating income of $34.9 million for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $4.0 million compared with the second quarter last year. Adjusted operating income(a) was $36.9 million, down $3.5 million from the prior year period. The second quarter of 2023 reflects higher operating income from Domestic Company-owned restaurants as the Back to BETTER initiative drove increased comparable sales and labor efficiencies in this category compared to the prior year. Second quarter 2023 International operating income declined as compared to the prior year as a result of lower comparable sales and incremental marketing costs related to our efforts to reposition the UK market. General and administrative expenses increased as the second quarter of 2023 reflected increased variable compensation expense and costs related to the franchise operating conference, which was held in April 2023 for the first time since 2019.

Diluted earnings per common share was $0.54 for the second quarter of 2023 compared with $0.70 in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share(a) was $0.59 for the second quarter of 2023 compared with $0.74 in the second quarter of 2022. These changes were driven by the same factors impacting operating income and adjusted operating income as discussed above. In addition, diluted earnings per common share and adjusted diluted earnings per common share reflected higher interest expense compared with the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense increased in 2023 largely due to higher borrowings used to fund share repurchases.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure which the Company defines as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property and equipment, was $59.0 million for the six months ended June 25, 2023, compared with $14.8 million in the prior year period. The year over year change primarily reflects higher cash flow from operating activities as a result of favorable working capital changes partially offset by increases in purchases of property and equipment.

We view free cash flow as an important financial measure because it is one factor that management uses in determining the amount of cash available for discretionary investment. Free cash flow is not a term defined by GAAP, and as a result, our measure of free cash flow might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Free cash flow should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the Company’s performance than the Company’s GAAP measures.

Cash Dividend

The Company paid cash dividends of $13.9 million ($0.42 per common share) in the second quarter of 2023. On July 31, 2023, our Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.46 per common share, representing a 10% increase from the previous dividend. The dividend will be paid on August 25, 2023 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 14, 2023.

Supplemental Information and Financial Statements

Definitions

“Comparable sales” represents sales for the same base of restaurants for the same fiscal periods. “Comparable sales growth (decline)” represents the change in year-over-year comparable sales. “Global system-wide restaurant sales” represents total restaurant sales for all Company-owned and franchised restaurants open during the comparable periods, and “Global system-wide restaurant sales growth (decline)” represents the change in global system-wide restaurant sales year-over-year. Comparable sales, Comparable sales growth (decline), Global system-wide restaurant sales and Global system-wide sales growth (decline) exclude franchisees for which we suspended corporate support.

“Equivalent units” represents the number of restaurants open at the beginning of a given period, adjusted for restaurants opened, closed, acquired or sold during the period on a weighted average basis.

We believe Domestic Company-owned, North America franchised, and International Comparable sales growth (decline) and Global system-wide restaurant sales information is useful in analyzing our results since our franchisees pay royalties and marketing fund contributions that are based on a percentage of franchise sales. Comparable sales and Global system-wide restaurant sales results for restaurants operating outside of the United States are reported on a constant dollar basis, which excludes the impact of foreign currency translation. Franchise sales also generate commissary revenue in the United States and in certain international markets. Comparable sales growth (decline) and Global system-wide restaurant sales information is also useful for comparison to industry trends and evaluating the strength of our brand. Management believes the presentation of Global system-wide restaurant sales growth, excluding the impact of foreign currency, provides investors with useful information regarding underlying sales trends and the impact of new unit growth without being impacted by swings in the external factor of foreign currency. Franchise restaurant sales are not included in the Company’s revenues.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we provide certain non-GAAP measures, which present results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the following: adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted diluted earnings per common share. We believe that our non-GAAP financial measures enable investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on U.S. GAAP results and relative to other companies. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they reflect metrics that our management team and Board utilize to evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted diluted earnings per common share are operating income, net income attributable to common shareholders and diluted earnings per common share, respectively. These non-GAAP measures should not be construed as a substitute for or a better indicator of the Company’s performance than the Company’s U.S. GAAP results. The table below reconciles our GAAP financial results to our non-GAAP financial measures.
