Briefing

Reported strong earnings per share growth.

Bloomin' Brands reported Q3 2023 financial results with a diluted EPS of $0.45, up 32% from Q3 2022, and an adjusted diluted EPS of $0.44, up 26% from Q3 2022. The company updated its 2023 guidance for U.S. comparable restaurant sales and EPS, driven by a reduction in traffic assumptions.

  • Total revenues increased primarily due to Brazil value added tax exemptions, foreign currency translation effects, and the net impact of restaurant openings and closures.
  • GAAP operating income margin improved from Q3 2022 primarily due to an increase in restaurant-level operating margin and a lease termination gain, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.
  • Restaurant-level operating margin improved from Q3 2022 primarily due to an increase in average check per person, cost-saving and productivity initiatives, and the benefit of Brazil value added tax exemptions, partially offset by labor, operating expense, commodity inflation, and higher advertising expense.
  • On October 17, 2023, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.24 per share, payable on November 29, 2023.
