Bloomin Brands Inc (BLMN) Share Price

Closures will temporarily hurt the bottom line right now. I don't see things upwards until end of year or next. Just my opinion.

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 19, 2015

TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 19, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomin' Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported financial results for the 13-week fourth quarter ("Q4 2014") and fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 ("Fiscal Year 2014") compared to the fourth quarter ("Q4 2013") and year ended December 31, 2013 ("Fiscal Year 2013").

Key highlights for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014 include the following:
-- Total revenues increased 5.5% to $1.1 billion

-- Comparable sales for Company-owned core domestic concepts increased 4.2%
with a traffic increase of 1.0%

-- System-wide development was 18 new restaurants, including five Outback
Steakhouse restaurants in Brazil

-- Adjusted net income* was $35.5 million versus $34.2 million in the fourth
quarter of 2013 and U.S. GAAP Net income attributable to Bloomin' Brands
was $22.4 million versus $59.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2013

Key highlights for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 include the following:
-- Total revenues increased 7.6% to $4.4 billion

The following table reconciles Adjusted diluted earnings per share to Diluted earnings per share for the periods as indicated below.

"The fourth quarter was a strong finish to the year. Comp sales at our core domestic concepts grew 4.2% in Q4 as we continued to improve our dinner sales trend behind enhanced brand strategies," said Elizabeth Smith, CEO. "For the year, we once again meaningfully outperformed Knapp and gained share in the CDR category."

Smith continued, "As we enter 2015, we remain confident in the long-term growth opportunities that our portfolio offers. We are focused on executing against our growth strategies with disciplined capital allocation to maximize value for our shareholders."

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

The following summarizes the Company's results for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014:

(dollars in millions): Q4 2014 Q4 2013 % Change
------------ ------------ ----------
Total revenues $1,108.5 $1,050.6 5.5%

Adjusted restaurant level
operating margin* 15.7% 15.9% (0.2)%
U.S. GAAP restaurant level
operating margin 16.3% 14.8% 1.5%

Adjusted operating income
margin* 5.2% 6.1% (0.9)%
U.S. GAAP operating income
margin 3.7% 3.0% 0.7%

Non-GAAP Measures to U.S. GAAP Results included later in this release.

-- The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to additional sales from
acquired restaurants in Brazil, additional revenues from new restaurant
openings and an increase in domestic comparable restaurant sales at our
existing restaurants. The increase in restaurant sales was partially
offset by the loss of one operating day due to the the Company's change
to a 52-53 week fiscal year, the closing of 52 restaurants since
September 30, 2013 and a decline in comparable restaurant sales in the
Company's South Korea restaurants.
-- The decrease in Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin was primarily
due to lunch expansion rollout costs, commodity inflation and higher than
normal health insurance claims. This decrease was partially offset by
productivity savings and higher domestic average unit volumes.

The improvement in U.S. GAAP restaurant-level operating margin was driven by lapping a payroll tax audit expense from 2013 and from a legal settlement. This increase was partially offset by lower Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin as described above.
-- The decrease in Adjusted operating income margin was driven primarily by
higher employee incentive compensation costs, higher depreciation and
amortization for Brazil acquisition-related assets as well as new
financial systems, and lower Adjusted restaurant-level operating margin
as described above.

The increase in U.S. GAAP operating income margin was driven primarily by higher restaurant-level operating margin and the lapping of our 2013 Domestic Restaurant Closure Initiative. This increase was partially offset by asset impairment charges related to Roy's, which was sold in January 2015, restaurant closing costs related to our International Restaurant Closure Initiative and severance expenses incurred from our organizational realignment.
-- The effective income tax rate on an adjusted basis for fiscal 2014 was
24.8%. The fiscal 2014 tax rate was lower than expected and was driven by
the mix of income across our domestic and international portfolio,
unplanned one-time tax benefits and the benefit of recently enacted tax
regulations.

Fourth Quarter Comparable Restaurant Sales

COMPANY-
THIRTEEN WEEKS ENDED DECEMBER 28, 2014 OWNED
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Domestic comparable restaurant sales (stores open 18 months or
more)
Outback Steakhouse 6.4%
Carrabba's Italian Grill 0.3%
Bonefish Grill 0.7%
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar 3.4%

-- Blended comparable restaurant sales for Company-owned core domestic
concepts were up 4.2% due to increases in general menu prices and a
strengthening of the dinner sales trend relative to the third quarter.
Customer traffic increased by 1.0% driven primarily by lunch expansion
and promotions.

System-wide Development

The following summarizes the Company's system-wide development for the thirteen weeks ended December 28, 2014:

$BLMN DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/BLMN

Bonefish Grille is a growth property with genuine traction and a strong growth pattern. As health consciousness continues, the seafood format is likely to grow in popularity, especially at the expense of dated formats like Darden's Red Lobster.

This stock has been trading in a cycle for the last 6 months. The chartists have had a field day, here. Not so much for me. I give it another quarter or two and then I will move on.

Still hoping...

This stock has done well. I heard they are opening a Bonefishes out here (West).

I think that the best is yet to come.

Good luck!

I like the brands of this company too. However, I own the stock and the PPS is hugely disappointing. On the other hand, it may be the best time to load up. Not pumping here; just looking for a sliver of hope. Seems with the economy improving that the stock would be doing better.

Ate in Outback last night... packed house. New menu includes a combo with unlimited shrimp in three choices paired with steak or chicken at price points as low as $13.99. This is a huge direct shot at Darden's Red Lobster with their biggest promo of the year... AYCE shrimp. Long line of people waiting for tables on a mid-week night in Florida'[s slow season.

Drove by a Bonefish Grille on the way home... mass of people waiting outside for tables, watching the sunset and sipping cocktails.

This company is on solid footing.

From where? Order book?

Solid trades near 52 week high. GO!

Bon Appetite and good luck on the stock.

I really like BLMN. Look for a high gainer over 12M!

Thanks. I will look into the discounted cards at Costco. I own their stock too.

Ruth's is nice, as well, but seems to cater to an older generation of retired expense accounter's who reminisce about the good old days on the corporate credit card. Fleming's is more a "clubby" kind of décor, similar to Capital Grille, and decidedly upscale from a Longhorn or BLMN's Outback. Flemings does a huge twilight lounge menu business with fabulous small plate items at very reasonable prices. They also have a highly advanced website reservation and follow-up system that makes Open Table look sickly, by comparison, and a clever electronic wine steward tablet that makes wine selection and food pairings quick and straightforward.

I used to own Mortons and Darden but prefer the upside here. If you are a Costco member you can purchase 2 $50 gift cards for $70 which according to my waiter on my last visit brings in a ton of business. It is a very creative cross-promotional venture.

I think BLMN has a real winner, here, plus their other properties seem well positioned for growth and expansion.

Anyone for shrimp on the barby?

I haven't been to Flemings. I went to Shulas maybe once before they went private. I will have to try both. I like Ruth's Chris and own some stock with them too.

Thank you, sir. I LOVE FLEMINGS! And I really like the other BLMN properties, as well.

There is a reason why this one is trending up so much!

Hey, I am sensing a public run by Shula's in the steakhouse segment. You hearing anything? Shula's is a better property than Ruth's Chris or Mortons and is less expense-account dependent in this era of no more 3 martini lunches.

Good points. Thanks for weighing in.

I think BLMN is on the cutting edge of the Achilles Heel in the sit down restaurant business... the fear of DUI decline of restaurant alcohol sales. People that used to have several drinks or order a bottle of wine with their meal are now afraid to do so because a very low level of alcohol is now required in most states to justify an arrest. In Florida, they are trying to reduce it even further and friends of mine have stated they will stop going out for sit down meals and just eat at home if it passes.

BLMN in all its venues is a pioneer in "wine by the glass" offerings at Outback and Fleming's which offers a truly remarkable 100 wines by the glass. Bonefish Grill is only a fast step behind. Then I look at Applebee's, Chili's, Friday's and the Darden properties that promote Happy Hour "Two-Fers", where law permits.

Alcohol and especially wine sales were the primary profit driver for many sitdown restaurants for many years. BLMN has updated their formats for a mature and responsible response to the MADD initiative while still providing a superior culinary experience.

I agree. I think that another acquisition may be in the offing to expand the menu range. Just a guess, but based on prior observations.

I still like Darden, PFC and CAKE... don't get me wrong... but I want to own equity here.

Good luck!

Good comments. Recently, I started investing in BLMN for many of these same reasons. For me, I look for more of a dining experience versus just a plain sit down meal.

As a longterm Darden investor, I am out of DRI and switching to BLMN as the preferable sector play. Darden has done okay as an investment but it is now just lumbering along while BLMN seems poised for a move to a new level, both in a culinary sense and an investment sense.

As the economy improves the dining sector is only likely to rise. Taste and value are the drivers. BLMN in all its formats hires chefs. Darden hires cooks. That one difference is a gamechanger for me.

Nice Day
$$
Now I'll sit back and wait for the dip again

Nice to see this move again!

No obvious reason. Hopefully upcoming earnings will push it back up.

Anyone know why this guy is dropping so much?

Good Morning
