Management Commentary
Overall performance for Tasty Brands in Q4 was strong considering a challenging business environment in which inflationary cost pressures, labor shortages and lingering effects of the pandemic are all still very much evident. Tasty Brands, like the broader quick service restaurant industry, was tested in many ways in 2021, but its resiliency, stability, and value proposition yielded robust financial performance and continued growth. Both Burger King and Pizza Hut portfolio companies continue to execute key strategic initiatives across all aspects of the business, while investments in people, assets, and the guest experience underpin the results. Tasty Brands has demonstrated its ability to innovate and adapt to outside forces by developing and implementing strategies to drive sales, pass-through cost increases and realize strong conversion of incremental sales to bottom-line profitability.
There were several accomplishments and updates across the Tasty Brands portfolio for the quarter include. Some include:
- Tasty King experienced strong openings for two new Burger King restaurants located in Butler, Missouri and Smithville, Missouri. Average weekly sales are currently running at $30,000+, which implies $1.5 million annualized, above brand average.
- Tasty Brands' sales growth at portfolio companies have outperformed other franchisees in their respective DMAs in almost every period of 2021; both Tasty King and Tasty Hut achieved positive same store sales growth in Q4.
- Asset actions completed in Q4 across both portfolio companies showed early signs of strong financial performance and return on investment.
- Tasty Hut completed a strategic add-on investment of 23 units located throughout New York, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. This transaction of Pizza Hut restaurants in the Northeast creates opportunity for further expansion via subsequent add-on acquisitions and strategic new unit development. Tasty Hut has 3 additional units under contract from this transaction that will close in Q1 2022 and has already secured properties for new store development within this region.

The Company declared a quarterly distribution for Q4 2021 of $0.4375 per share.
