Insights

GEN Restaurant Group's Q2 2024 results paint a picture of growth amidst challenges. The 15.9% increase in total revenue to $53.9 million is impressive, especially considering the current economic climate. However, the -5.6% comparable restaurant sales decline raises some concerns about same-store performance.

The company's profitability metrics show mixed results. While the restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA of 19.0% exceeded expectations, the overall adjusted EBITDA margin of 9.1% declined year-over-year. This suggests that while individual restaurants are performing well, increased corporate expenses and pre-opening costs are impacting overall profitability.

GEN's expansion strategy is aggressive, with plans to open 10-11 new locations in 2024. This explains the high pre-opening expenses of $1.6 million in Q2. While this impacts short-term profitability, it could drive long-term growth if these new locations perform well.

The company's balance sheet remains strong with $29.2 million in cash and minimal debt. This financial flexibility is important for funding their expansion plans without relying on external financing.

Overall, GEN's Q2 results show a company in growth mode, balancing expansion with profitability. The key challenge will be improving same-store sales while successfully integrating new locations.

GEN's Q2 performance offers intriguing insights into the casual dining sector. The -5.6% decline in comparable restaurant sales suggests broader industry challenges, likely tied to inflationary pressures on consumer spending. However, GEN's ability to grow total revenue by 15.9% in this environment is noteworthy, indicating that their expansion strategy is offsetting softer same-store performance.

The introduction of a premium menu is a strategic move to enhance average check size and potentially offset traffic declines. This aligns with industry trends where restaurants are focusing on value-added offerings to maintain margins amidst rising costs.

GEN's aggressive expansion plan, now targeting 10-11 new locations in 2024, is bold given the current economic uncertainties. This suggests confidence in their concept and ability to capture market share. The company's claim of outperformance at new locations is particularly interesting and warrants monitoring.

The 230 basis point year-over-year increase in total restaurant operating expenses as a percentage of revenue highlights the ongoing cost pressures in the industry. However, the sequential improvement from Q1 2024 indicates that GEN is actively managing these challenges.

In the context of the broader casual dining market, GEN's performance and strategy position it as an aggressive growth player. The success of their expansion and ability to improve same-store sales in the face of economic headwinds will be critical factors to watch in the coming quarters.

Management Commentary

“Our second-quarter results highlight our ongoing commitment to improving our operating margins, rapidly expanding GEN’s geographic footprint and increasing our market share,” said David Kim, Co-Chief Executive Officer of GEN. “We are pleased to report another strong quarter with a 16% year-over-year increase in total revenue and our restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA margin exceeding expectations at 19%. While the broader environment is experiencing a pullback in consumer spending related to persistent inflationary pressures, we continue to see outperformance at the new locations we’ve opened and our entire footprint is generating profitability levels in-line or exceeding our internal targets.

“Our expansion efforts remain robust as we spent much of the quarter preparing for new restaurant openings later this year and beyond. In fact, we are increasing our guidance and now anticipate opening 10 to 11 new locations by the end of 2024, with three already complete and seven currently under construction. As we progress into the second half of the year, our focus remains steadfast on expansion while delivering an exceptional, value-focused dining experience. Initiatives like our recently introduced premium menu have performed well alongside some enhanced operational procedures, as we remain committed to keeping our customer at the forefront of everything we do. With a strong balance sheet and profitable operating model, we are confident in our ability to continue executing our growth strategy and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Total revenue increased 15.9% to $53.9 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $46.5 million in the second quarter of 2023. Comparable restaurant sales decreased 5.6% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. 

Total restaurant operating expenses (excluding pre-opening expenses) as a percentage of revenue increased 230 basis points to 84.5% in the second quarter of 2024 from 82.2% in the second quarter of 2023, while declining 230 basis points compared to 86.8% in the first quarter of 2024. The year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter changes as a percentage of revenue are primarily driven by the following: 

  • Cost of goods sold increased year-over-year by 110 basis points largely due to additional restaurants in operation and the ongoing implementation and integration of the Company's new premium menu. On a sequential basis, cost of goods sold declined by 50 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024.
  • Payroll and benefits decreased 40 basis points year-over-year and 140 basis points sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily due to the Company’s continued focus on optimizing costs and headcount.
  • Occupancy costs increased 20 basis points primarily due to new restaurant openings over the last twelve months. On a sequential basis, occupancy costs declined by 40 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024.
  • Other operating costs increased 60 basis points. On a sequential basis, other operating costs decreased 10 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2024.
  • Depreciation and amortization increased 80 basis points year-over-year and 20 basis points quarter-over-quarter.
  • Restaurant pre-opening expenses increased to $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2024 from $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2023 due to a larger number of new store openings in the works compared to the prior year. Compared to the first quarter of 2024, restaurant pre-opening expenses declined by 13.5%.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4.3 million, or 8.0% as a percentage of total revenue, excluding non-cash stock compensation expense, for the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to additional personnel required for new restaurant development as well as public company costs which weren’t present in the prior year period.

Net income was $2.1 million or 3.8% of revenue for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $4.5 million or 9.6% of revenue in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to higher expenses for new restaurant development and increased general and administrative expenses from being a public company. 

Adjusted EBITDA was $4.9 million or 9.1% of revenue, inclusive of pre-opening expense of approximately $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $6.3 million or 13.7% of revenue, inclusive of pre-opening expenses of $0.9 million in the prior year period. 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $29.2 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $28.1 million at March 31, 2024, as the Company continued to generate positive free cash flow and internally finance new restaurant development. The Company continues to operate with no long-term debt, except for approximately $5 million in government-funded EIDL loans.

Non-GAAP Measures

Restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from operations plus adjustments to add-back the following expenses: depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs, general and administrative expenses, related party consulting fees, management fees and non-cash lease expense. Management believes that restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because this measure highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures and enabling investors to more effectively compare the Company’s performance to prior and future periods.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and consulting fees paid to a related party and we also exclude non-recurring items, such as stock-based compensation expense, gain on extinguishment of debt, and Restaurant Revitalization Fund, or RRF, grants, employee retention credits, litigation accruals, aborted deferred IPO costs written off, non-cash lease expenses and non-cash lease expense related to pre-opening costs. Management believes that restaurant-level adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because this measure highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent to investors when relying solely on GAAP financial measures and enabling investors to more effectively compare the Company’s performance to prior and future periods.
