  • Comparable sales* at STK Restaurants rose 8.3%;

*Comparable sales or same store sales (“SSS”) represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-month period. This metric includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. Revenues from locations where we do not directly control the event sales force (The W Hotel Westwood, CA) are excluded from this metric.

** Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation and certain transactional costs. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income in this release.

“2019 was an outstanding year for The ONE Group, and our momentum continued into 2020 until the negative impact on our business related to COVID-19 began to unfold in March. Government agencies currently recommend that people not visit restaurants or bars, and in many jurisdictions in the U.S., people have been instructed to shelter in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.

“In response to these conditions, and out of concern for our customers and partners, whose health, safety and well-being remain our top priority, we have temporarily closed all dining rooms and have shifted operations to provide take-out and delivery service at all domestic restaurants, with the exception of Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando and Puerto Rico. We have also launched STK Radio so our guests can bring the STK Vibe experience home along with our delicious food. We have implemented measures to reduce our costs during the pandemic, including significant reductions in employees, suspension of third-party services and deferral of non-essential cash payments including all capital projects,” continued Hilario.

“Since we cannot reasonability estimate when our business will return to normal operations, we suspended our financial guidance for 2020 as of March 17, 2020. We started the year with over $12.0 million in cash, and currently have over $10.0 million available in loans under our revolving credit facility pursuant to certain terms and conditions, including continued compliance with specified leverage ratios. We believe that we have the right long-term strategy in place to continue to create shareholder value once we can return to normal operating conditions,” concluded Hilario.

Fourth Quarter 2019 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased 102.2% to $52.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 from $25.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was primarily driven by approximately $23.7 million in sales contributions from Kona Grill, which the Company acquired on October 4, 2019, growth in same store sales, and contributions from the opening of STK Nashville in March 2019. Domestic same store sales at STK restaurants increased 8.9% lapping a 15.0% quarter-over-quarter increase in the prior year, both indicative of the continued strong performance of the STK brand under normal operating conditions.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased 119.9% to $48.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 from $22.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase was due to approximately $23.7 million in sales contributions from Kona Grill, growth in same store sales, and contributions from the opening of STK Nashville in March 2019.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues were $3.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. The slight decrease was primarily due to the loss of management fee revenue from the One 29 Park, LLC management agreement, which terminated on September 30, 2018, and approximately $0.4 million of accelerated recognition of deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the termination of a license agreement for our operations in Ibiza, Spain.

GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2019 was $19.8 million, or $0.66 net income per share, compared to GAAP net income of $3.2 million, or $0.11 net income per share, in the fourth quarter of 2018. The quarter results reflect a $10.3 million benefit for the release of the Company’s valuation allowance of its deferred tax assets coupled with the recognition of $11.0 million in a bargain purchase gain related to the acquisition of the Kona Grill assets from bankruptcy. The Company also recorded a non-cash write down of $2.7 million related to its cost method investment in Bagatelle NY due to the short term remaining on the lease and current market conditions.

Adjusted EBITDA** increased 65.0% to $6.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2019 from $4.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Fiscal 2019 (Full Year) Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased 41.0% to $120.7 million in 2019 from $85.6 million in 2018. The increase was primarily driven by approximately $23.7 million in sales contributions from Kona Grill, growth in same store sales, contributions from the opening of STK San Diego, California in July 2018 and STK Nashville in March 2019, along with increased revenues from management, license and incentive fee revenues. Comparable sales at owned and managed STK Restaurants rose 8.3% lapping a 9.4% year-over-year increase in the prior year, both indicative of the continued strong performance of the STK brand under normal operating conditions.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased 46.9% to $108.8 million in 2019 from $74.0 million in 2018. The increase was primarily due to the Kona Grill acquisition, growth in same store sales, and contributions from the opening of STK San Diego in July 2018 and STK Nashville in March 2019.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues increased 2.9% to $11.9 million in 2019 from $11.6 million in 2018. The revenues increase was primarily driven by new STK licensed locations that opened in 2019, including a licensed STK restaurant in Doha, Qatar, a licensed STK restaurant in San Juan, Puerto Rico and a managed rooftop bar concept, ANGEL, in Florence, Italy. Additionally, in the second half of 2018, we opened two licensed STK restaurants in Mexico City, Mexico and Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This was partially offset by the loss of management fee revenue from the One 29 Park, LLC management agreement, which terminated on September 30, 2018, and approximately $0.4 million of accelerated recognition of deferred revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018 related to the termination of a license agreement for our operations in Ibiza, Spain.

GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in 2019 was $20.8 million, or $0.70 net income per share, compared to GAAP net income of $3.3 million, or $0.12 net income per share, in 2018. The annual results reflect a $10.3 million benefit for the release of the Company’s valuation allowance of its deferred tax assets coupled with the recognition of $11.0 million in a bargain purchase gain related to the acquisition of the Kona Grill assets from bankruptcy. The Company also recorded a non-cash write down of $2.7 million related to its cost method investment in Bagatelle NY due to the short term remaining on the lease and current market conditions.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 36.0% to $14.3 million in 2019 from $10.5 million in 2018.

2020 Targets Suspended

On March 17, 2020, the Company suspended guidance for 2020 due to the negative effect COVID-19 is having on its operations and financial performance, the extent of which is not currently known.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units and adjusted EBITDA.

Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. We believe that this measure also represents a useful internal measure of performance. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation and certain transactional costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

We believe that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain non-cash expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. We use this metric to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business as well as evaluate the performance of our units. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management. Additionally, adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry. We use adjusted EBITDA, alongside other GAAP measures such as net income, to measure profitability, as a key profitability target in our annual and other budgets, and to compare our performance against that of peer companies. We believe that adjusted EBITDA provides useful information facilitating operating performance comparisons from period to period.
