Briefing
Reported continued resilience navigating a rapidly changing environment, making progress on key initiatives to improve margins and increase cash flow.
Bloomin' Brands reported Q4 2020 results, showing resilience amidst a rapidly changing environment. The company is focused on improving margins, increasing cash flow, and reducing debt. U.S. comp sales were down 12.9% through the first seven weeks of the fiscal year.
- Total revenues decreased primarily due to lower comparable restaurant sales and franchise revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Restaurant-level operating margin decreased due to lower comparable restaurant sales and costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- GAAP operating loss income margin decreased due to a decline in restaurant-level operating margin and sales deleveraging.
- Liquidity position improved due to increased sales performance and holiday gift card sales.

Forward guidance
The Company remains committed to making decisions to achieve its long-term growth framework and maximize shareholder value. However, ongoing uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and evolving in-restaurant dining capacity restrictions across the country have made it difficult to forecast sales.
Tailwinds
- Pursue previously announced transformational cost savings initiatives representing $40 million over two years. We achieved $25 million of these cost savings in 2020 and expect approximately $15 million of these savings to be realized in 2021
- Capitalize on additional margin opportunities learned during the pandemic
- Prioritize capital allocation towards debt pay down while maintaining flexibility to reinvest back in the business
Headwinds
- Ongoing uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic
- Evolving in-restaurant dining capacity restrictions across the country
