Jack in the Box Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter FY 2010 Earnings; Issues Guidance for FY 2011

Jack in the Box Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter FY 2010 Earnings; Issues Guidance for FY 2011Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ: JACK) today reported net earnings of $4.0 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter ended Oct. 3, 2010, compared with earnings from continuing operations of $40.6 million, or 70 cents per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. Fiscal 2010 net earnings totaled $70.2 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with earnings from continuing operations of $131.0 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, in fiscal 2009.

As previously announced, the company closed 40 Jack in the Box® company restaurants during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. In connection with the closures, the company recorded pre-tax charges totaling $28.0 million (included in “impairment and other charges, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of earnings), which reduced diluted earnings per share by approximately 33 cents in fiscal 2010. These charges, as well as higher work opportunity tax credits and positive mark-to-market adjustments on investments supporting the company’s non-qualified retirement plans, resulted in a tax benefit in the fourth quarter of 2010 versus a tax rate of 35.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009, and a 33.8 percent tax rate for fiscal 2010 compared with 37.7 percent in fiscal 2009.

The fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Oct. 3, 2010, included 13 weeks and 53 weeks, respectively, as compared to 12 weeks and 52 weeks in the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Sept. 27, 2009, respectively. The company estimates that the extra week benefitted diluted earnings per share by approximately 3 cents in both the fourth quarter and fiscal 2010.

Linda A. Lang, chairman, chief executive officer and president, said, “Jack in the Box company same-store sales declined 4.0 percent in the fourth quarter and continued to be impacted by high unemployment in our major markets for our key customer demographics. With that said, we believe the investments we have made around service consistency and making noticeable quality improvements to some of our signature products are beginning to resonate with our guests. We remain focused on enhancing the entire guest experience, including the substantial completion of our restaurant re-imaging program system-wide, which is targeted by the end of 2011. We believe these actions will increase the customer appeal of the Jack in the Box brand and provide a catalyst for sales growth when unemployment and consumer spending begin to improve.

“Qdoba’s same-store sales momentum continued in the fourth quarter with an increase of 5.6 percent, driven by our Craft 2™ menu and higher catering sales, as well as increased spending by consumers in the fast-casual segment,” Lang said.

Consolidated restaurant operating margin was 12.5 percent of sales in the fourth quarter of 2010, compared with 15.8 percent of sales in the year-ago quarter. The company estimates that sales deleverage negatively impacted margins by approximately 110 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2010. For fiscal 2010, consolidated restaurant operating margin was 14.1 percent of sales, consistent with the company’s expectations.

Food and packaging costs in the fourth quarter were 90 basis points higher than prior year. Overall commodity costs were approximately 3 percent higher in the quarter, driven primarily by higher beef, cheese and pork costs which were partially offset by lower costs for poultry, shortening and bakery products.

Payroll and employee benefits costs were 29.9 percent of restaurant sales versus 29.6 percent in the year-ago quarter. An increase in workers’ compensation and other insurance costs negatively impacted payroll and employee benefits costs by approximately 50 basis points as compared to prior year.

Occupancy and other costs increased 210 basis points in the fourth quarter due primarily to sales deleverage, higher depreciation resulting from the company’s ongoing restaurant re-image program, increased repairs and maintenance, and additional costs relating to guest service initiatives.

Franchise costs for the fourth quarter increased to 45.5 percent of franchise revenues from 40.8 percent last year due primarily to sales deleverage against fixed rental costs.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, “impairment and other charges, net,” have been reclassified from “selling, general and administrative (‘SG&A’) expenses” in the company’s consolidated statements of earnings. A schedule reflecting this additional disclosure for each quarter of fiscal years 2009 and 2010 is included in the supplemental information at the end of this press release.

SG&A expense for the fourth quarter increased by $3.8 million and was 10.8 percent of revenues compared with 10.6 percent last year. SG&A expense for fiscal 2010 decreased by $17.3 million and was 10.6 percent of revenues compared with 10.5 percent last year. The variances in SG&A were attributable primarily to the following:

  • The 53rd week added approximately $3.6 million to SG&A in both the fourth quarter and fiscal 2010.
  • Pension expense, which is non-cash in nature, increased by $4.7 million in the fourth quarter and by $17.6 million for fiscal 2010, due primarily to lower discount rates. Cash pension contributions for the full year were similar to last year. In September 2010, the company’s board of directors approved changes to the pension plan whereby participants will no longer accrue benefits after December 31, 2015.
  • The company’s refranchising strategy and planned overhead reductions resulted in lower general and administrative costs of approximately $2.4 million for the fourth quarter and $14.8 million for the full year.
  • Advertising costs were $1.4 million lower in the fourth quarter and $11.7 million lower in fiscal 2010, as the impact of refranchising and the decline in Jack in the Box same-store sales was partially offset by incremental spending during the third and fourth quarters.
  • Incentive compensation declined by $2.2 million in the fourth quarter and $6.1 million in fiscal 2010.
  • Insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Ike resulted in a $1.2 million benefit in the fourth quarter and a $4.2 million benefit in fiscal 2010.
  • Mark-to-market adjustments on investments supporting the company’s non-qualified retirement plans positively impacted SG&A by $2.1 million in the fourth quarter as compared to a positive impact of $2.6 million in last year’s fourth quarter, resulting in a year-over-year increase in SG&A of $0.5 million. For fiscal 2010, mark-to-market adjustments positively impacted SG&A by $2.7 million as compared to a negative impact of $0.3 million last year, resulting in a year-over-year decrease in SG&A of $3.0 million.

Gains on the sale of 108 company-operated Jack in the Box restaurants to franchisees totaled $18.9 million in the fourth quarter, or an average of $175,000. Total proceeds for the fourth quarter of 2010 related to refranchising were $37.2 million, or an average of $344,000 per restaurant. Fourth quarter transactions included the sale of an entire market with lower-than-average sales and cash flows. Excluding this transaction, average gains and proceeds for the fourth quarter were $352,000 and $510,000, respectively. The company provided $23.1 million in financing during the quarter for two of the six refranchising transactions, including the entire market sale discussed above, of which $18.7 million has been repaid thus far in the first quarter of 2011.

For fiscal 2010, gains on the sale of 219 company-operated restaurants to franchisees totaled $55.0 million, or approximately 65 cents per diluted share, compared with $78.6 million, or approximately 85 cents per diluted share in fiscal 2009 from the sale of 194 company-operated restaurants. Total proceeds for fiscal 2010 related to refranchising, including cash and notes receivable, were $92.0 million, or an average of $420,000 per restaurant.

“Refranchising is a critical element in transforming the company to a business model that is less capital intensive and not as susceptible to cost fluctuations,” Lang said. “Over the last five years, we have refranchised 680 restaurants and increased franchise ownership from 25 percent to nearly 57 percent of the system. We are ahead of our plan to achieve our goal to increase the percentage of franchise ownership in the Jack in the Box system to 70 to 80 percent by the end of fiscal year 2013.”

The company repurchased approximately 2,346,000 shares of its common stock in the fourth quarter of 2010 at an average price of $20.01 per share and approximately 4,914,000 shares of its common stock in fiscal 2010 at an average price of $19.71 per share. These repurchases completed the company’s stock-buyback program authorized by its board of directors in November 2007. In November 2010, the company’s board of directors authorized a $100 million stock-buyback program that expires in November 2011.

Capital expenditures decreased to $95.6 million in fiscal year 2010 versus expenditures of $153.5 million last year. Fiscal 2010 spending was lower than the company’s guidance of $125 to $135 million due to lower-than-anticipated costs for new restaurants, re-images and capital maintenance projects completed during the year, as well as lower construction-in-progress spending for new restaurants and re-images slated for completion in early 2011.

Restaurant openings

Fourteen new Jack in the Box restaurants opened in the fourth quarter, including 2 franchised locations, compared with 15 new restaurants opened system-wide during the same quarter last year, of which 7 were franchised. For the full year, 46 new Jack in the Box restaurants opened, including 16 franchised locations, compared with 64 new restaurants in fiscal 2009, 21 of which were franchised.

A key element of the company’s growth strategy is to expand the Jack in the Box brand into new markets. Earlier this month, the company opened the first of several restaurants planned in the Kansas City market.

In the fourth quarter, 13 Qdoba restaurants opened, including 6 franchised locations, versus 21 new restaurants in the year-ago quarter, 11 of which were franchised. For the full year, 36 Qdoba restaurants opened, including 21 franchised locations, compared with 62 new restaurants in fiscal 2009, 38 of which were franchised.

At Oct. 3, 2010, the company’s system total comprised 2,206 Jack in the Box restaurants, including 1,250 franchised locations, and 525 Qdoba restaurants, including 337 franchised locations.

Fourth quarter FY 2010 initiatives

The chain’s fourth-quarter advertising supported a value-priced combo meal featuring a new product, Jack’s Really Big Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich includes two breaded chicken patties, lettuce, tomato, bacon, cheese and mayo-onion sauce served on a jumbo bakery bun. The combo meal, which was priced at $3.99, featured the new sandwich, a small fountain drink and small order of seasoned curly fries.

In addition to this value promotion, a new premium product, the Pastrami Grilled Sandwich, debuted in late August. Made with hot pastrami, the item is a line extension of the brand’s popular Grilled Sandwich platform, which currently includes a Grilled Breakfast Sandwich, the Deli Trio and the Turkey, Bacon & Cheddar sandwiches, each served on grilled artisan bread.

To build upon the continued strength of its breakfast daypart, Jack in the Box expanded its breakfast menu during the quarter with a Breakfast Pita Pocket. The new Breakfast Pita Pocket, which features scrambled eggs, bacon, ham and American cheese stuffed in a pita made with whole grains, is served with a side of fire-roasted salsa and available in most markets for $2.69.

In addition to these value, premium and breakfast messages, media also featured the Raspberry Trio, which includes a Raspberry Real Fruit Smoothie, a Raspberry Shake made with real ice cream, and Raspberry Iced Tea.

During the fourth quarter, Jack in the Box implemented a comprehensive, system-wide program to improve guest service by delivering a more consistent dining experience. Along with evaluating restaurant performance via the chain’s Voice of Guest surveys, additional resources are being committed to more closely measure how restaurants are executing the key drivers of guest satisfaction.

Another driving factor of guest satisfaction is the restaurant environment. In the fourth quarter, 128 company and franchised restaurants were re-imaged with interior enhancements including new flooring, seating, lighting, wall coverings and other decorative treatments. At fiscal year end, nearly 68 percent of company restaurants – and more than 55 percent of the Jack in the Box system – featured all interior and exterior elements of the re-image program.

First quarter FY 2011 initiatives

In addition to increasing the restaurants’ focus on guest service, Jack in the Box is making noticeable, quality improvements to several of the chain’s signature products. Jack’s iconic tacos are among the chain’s top-selling favorites that were recently enhanced. To promote the improved tacos, last Tuesday from 2 p.m. to midnight, Jack in the Box gave away two free tacos to guests upon request.

Along with promoting premium products in its advertising, like the Pastrami Grilled Sandwich, Jack in the Box is also emphasizing value in its first-quarter media messages. In early October, Jack in the Box introduced a value promotion offering guests two Croissant Sandwiches for just $3. Jack in the Box offers three varieties of Croissant Sandwiches: Sausage, Extreme Sausage and Supreme, the latter of which includes new hickory-smoked bacon.

Jack in the Box launched a second value promotion last week featuring the double-patty Bonus Jack®, a popular guest favorite from the 1970s. For a limited time, the Bonus Jack is available in a combo meal with a small order of fries and small drink for just $3.99.

Guidance

The following guidance and underlying assumptions reflect the company’s current expectations for the first quarter ending Jan. 23, 2011, and the fiscal year ending Oct. 2, 2011. Fiscal 2011 is a 52-week year, with 16 weeks in the first quarter, and 12 weeks in each of the second, third and fourth quarters. Fiscal 2010 was a 53-week year, with the additional week occurring in the fourth quarter.

First quarter fiscal year 2011 guidance

  • Same-store sales are expected to range from down 1 percent to up 1 percent at Jack in the Box company restaurants versus an 11.1 percent decrease in the year-ago quarter.
  • Same-store sales are expected to increase approximately 4 to 6 percent at Qdoba system restaurants versus a 1.7 percent decrease in the year-ago quarter.

Fiscal year 2011 guidance

  • Same-store sales are expected to range from down 2 percent to up 2 percent at Jack in the Box company restaurants.
  • Same-store sales are expected to increase approximately 2 to 4 percent at Qdoba system restaurants.
  • Overall commodity costs are expected to increase by 1 to 2 percent for the full year, with higher inflation in the first half of the fiscal year.
  • Restaurant operating margin for the full year is expected to range from 14.0 to 14.5 percent, depending on same-store sales and commodity inflation.
  • 30 to 35 new Jack in the Box restaurants, including approximately 25 company locations.
  • 50 to 60 new Qdoba restaurants, including approximately 25 company locations.
  • $55 to $65 million in gains on the sale of 175 to 225 Jack in the Box restaurants to franchisees, with $85 to $95 million in total proceeds resulting from the sales.
  • Capital expenditures of $135 to $145 million, including the carryover of projects from fiscal 2010. Following the planned completion of the Jack in the Box re-image program, annual capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $110 million or less.
  • SG&A expense in the mid-10 percent range, excluding impairment and other charges.
  • Tax rate of approximately 37 to 38 percent.
  • Diluted earnings per share of $1.41 to $1.68, with the range reflecting uncertainty in the timing of anticipated refranchising transactions as well as same-store sales volatility. Gains from refranchising are expected to contribute from $0.66 to $0.78 to diluted earnings per share, as compared to $0.65 in fiscal 2010. Operating earnings per share, which the company defines as diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis less gains from refranchising, are expected to range from $0.75 to $0.90 per diluted share. Diluted earnings per share includes approximately $0.10 to $0.12 of incremental re-image incentive payments to franchisees in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010.
