[8-K] Bloomin' Brands, Inc. Reports Material Event

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bloomin’ Brands reported Q4 2025 and full-year 2025 results showing modest sales growth but weaker profits. Q4 total revenues were $975.2M, up slightly from $972.0M, while GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations fell to ($0.14) from $0.12 due mainly to a Bonefish Grill goodwill impairment and other charges.

On an adjusted basis, Q4 diluted EPS rose to $0.26 from $0.22, helped by operational adjustments, but full-year adjusted diluted EPS declined to $1.14 from $1.45 as margins compressed. U.S. comparable sales were flat overall in Q4, though Outback Steakhouse posted a 0.9% traffic increase, its first positive traffic quarter since Q4 2021.

For 2026, the company targets U.S. comparable sales growth of 0.5%–2.5%, GAAP diluted EPS of $0.70–$0.85 and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.75–$0.90, assuming 86–87 million diluted shares. Guidance also anticipates commodity inflation of 4.5%–5.5%, labor inflation of 3%–3.5%, and capital expenditures of $185M–$195M with 6–8 new company-owned and 17–20 new franchised restaurants.

Insights

Equity research analyst

Mixed quarter: modest sales, margin pressure, and cautious but positive 2026 EPS guidance.

Bloomin’ Brands delivered essentially flat Q4 2025 revenue at $975.2M, with a GAAP operating loss margin of (1.4)% versus a 1.7% margin a year ago. The downturn reflects a Bonefish Grill goodwill impairment, higher commodity and labor costs, and less favorable foreign currency hedge results.

Operationally, restaurant-level operating margin slipped to 11.5% from 12.4%, as inflation and product mix more than offset higher average checks and lower advertising and insurance costs. Adjusted operating income margin held steadier at 3.4%, only slightly below last year’s 3.5%, showing some resiliency once unusual items are removed.

Management’s 2026 outlook calls for U.S. comparable sales growth of 0.5%–2.5% and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.75–$0.90, up from 2025’s $1.14 on a full-year basis but implying only modest growth. Investors will pay close attention to Outback’s traffic trends and the cost impact of the turnaround-related equipment upgrades described in the guidance during Q1 2026 and the rest of 2026.

Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2025 Q4 Financial Results

TAMPA, Fla., February 25, 2026 - Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the fourth quarter 2025 (“Q4 2025”) and the fiscal year ended December 28, 2025 (“Fiscal Year 2025”) compared to the fourth quarter 2024 (“Q4 2024”) and the fiscal year ended December 29, 2024 (“Fiscal Year 2024”).

CEO Comments

“Our fourth quarter results reflect our continued focus on disciplined execution and food quality to deliver a consistently great guest experience. Through these efforts, Outback achieved its first quarter of positive traffic since Q4 2021,” said Mike Spanos, CEO. “We launched our turnaround strategy in November with targeted investments in steak quality at Outback. Over the course of this year, we expect to make additional strategic investments as we look to drive long-term, sustainable, and profitable growth.”

•The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to the net impact of restaurant openings and closures partially offset by lower franchise revenues.

•GAAP operating income margin decreased from Q4 2024 primarily due to: (i) Bonefish Grill goodwill impairment, (ii) lapping 2024 gains and incurring 2025 costs associated with our foreign currency forward contracts and (iii) a decrease in restaurant-level operating margin, as detailed below. These decreases were partially offset by lower asset impairment and closing costs.

•Restaurant-level operating margin decreased from Q4 2024 primarily due to: (i) higher commodity and labor costs, mainly due to inflation, and (ii) unfavorable product cost mix. These decreases were partially offset by: (i) higher average check per person, primarily due to pricing, (ii) lower advertising expense and (iii) lower insurance expense.

•Adjusted operating income margin primarily excludes the Bonefish Grill goodwill impairment, certain asset impairment and closing costs and costs associated with the foreign currency forward contracts.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP and include: (i) Restaurant-level operating income, adjusted restaurant-level operating income and their corresponding margins, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iv) Adjusted net income and (v) Adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Restaurant-level operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure widely regarded in the industry as a useful metric to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations, and we use it for these purposes.

We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should

refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in Tables Four, Five and Six included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

_________________

(1)We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are typically used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

(1)The following categories of revenue and operating expenses are not included in restaurant-level operating income and the corresponding margin because we do not consider them reflective of operating performance at the restaurant-level within a period:

(a)Franchise and other revenues, which are earned primarily from franchise royalties and other non-food and beverage revenue streams, such as rental and sublease income.

(b)Depreciation and amortization, which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants.

(c)General and administrative expense, which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate offices.

(d)Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs and Goodwill impairment.

(2)Represents costs associated with updated field PTO policy in connection with the transition to a new human resources and payroll system.
