Management Commentary
Tasty Brands, LP sustained its strong Q1 performance through the second quarter of 2021. Financial results, as highlighted below, continue to track ahead of the 2021 budget. Tasty Brands’ leadership did an excellent job driving sustained top-line sales while managing food cost, labor, and other restaurant-level expenses through the quarter. With inflationary pressures becoming visible across the U.S. economy, Tasty Brands’ portfolio companies undertook detailed pricing analysis which is expected to result in targeted price increases implemented in Q3, demonstrating the ability of QSR businesses to manage well relative to other businesses in an inflationary environment. The strong first-half results for Tasty Brands indicates positive momentum across our businesses, supported by robust operational performance, investment in local store marketing, and the completion of strategic asset actions.
There are several accomplishments and updates across the Tasty Brands portfolio to highlight:
Portfolio companies have taken steps to further build sales, including, expanded hours of operation in many restaurants towards pre-pandemic levels which has led to an increase in breakfast and late-night sales for the Burger King business. Within Tasty Brands’ Pizza Hut business, re-opening of dining rooms in many markets has resulted on the continued momentum in sales compared to pre-pandemic levels.Tasty Brands’ sales growth at portfolio companies during Q2 outperformed other franchisees in their respective DMAsAsset actions completed through Q2 are having a very significant positive impact on performance.Attractive add-on acquisition opportunities have been identified for both Tasty Hut and Tasty King with strong momentum on multiple transactions that are expected to occur during the 2nd half of 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
As of July 14, 2021, the Company owned 227 restaurants, including 66 Burger King and 161 Pizza Hut locations.
Total restaurant revenue increased 35.5% to $52.8 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $39.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. On a year-to-date basis, 2021 restaurant revenue of $124.7 million compares to $84.3 million for the same period in 2020 - a +47.9% change.
Adjusted Restaurant-Level EBITDA1 increased to $5.7 million in the second quarter of 2021 from $4.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted Restaurant-Level EBITDA margin was 10.7% of restaurant sales and decreased 14 basis points from the second quarter of 2020, primarily driven by increased labor expense due to inflationary pressures present in the broader industry. The Company demonstrated its ability to continue rationalizing ongoing expenses through improved management of promotional and discounting activity, optimized restaurant labor scheduling, despite challenges to labor availability, and managing other restaurant-related operating expenses. The availability of labor remains a challenge for our industry, and while we believe it has not impacted our sales, it has necessitated that we remain flexible as it relates to operating hours and staffing levels.
Adjusted Income from Operations was $3.5 million for the quarter, compared to $2.4 million in the prior year period, reflecting a margin of 6.6% of total restaurant sales. Administrative general and administrative expenses were higher by $0.4 million but at 3.1% of revenue, flat to the second quarter 2020.
Distribution Update
The Company declared a quarterly distribution for Q2 2021 of $ $0.4375 per share.
