Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Bloomin’ Brands reported higher Q2 2026 results, with total revenues of $1,015.8 million, up 1.3% from $1,002.4 million in Q2 2025. Diluted EPS from continuing operations rose to $0.37 from $0.29, and adjusted diluted EPS increased to $0.39 from $0.32.

Profitability improved, with GAAP operating margin at 3.8% and adjusted operating margin at 4.0%, both above prior-year levels. Restaurant-level operating margin was 12.4%, helped by higher average check per person from pricing, productivity initiatives, and lower pre-opening and health insurance costs, partly offset by inflationary commodity, labor, operating, and advertising expenses.

U.S. comparable restaurant sales rose 2.3%, including 8.1% growth at Bonefish Grill and low-single-digit gains at Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s, and Fleming’s. Reflecting this performance and progress on the Outback Turnaround, the company raised 2026 diluted EPS guidance to $0.85–$0.95 and adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $0.90–$1.00, and issued Q3 2026 diluted EPS guidance of ($0.28)–($0.23) and adjusted diluted EPS of ($0.27)–($0.22).

Filing Explained

At June 28, Bloomin’ Brands reported cash of $66,613 thousand and debt of $702,788 thousand, with 1,084 U.S. restaurants.

The August 5 8-K records Bloomin’ Brands’ completed Q2 results for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2026 and includes period-end balance-sheet and restaurant-footprint information. Form 8-K is used to report specified material events.

At June 28, 2026, the company reported $66,613 thousand of cash and cash equivalents, $702,788 thousand of total debt, and $435,068 thousand of total stockholders’ equity, defining the disclosed liquidity and capital position alongside the quarter’s earnings.

The release’s adjusted earnings and margin measures are supplemental non-GAAP measures, not replacements for GAAP measures and not necessarily standardized or comparable with similarly titled measures elsewhere.

For the same quarter, combined U.S. comparable restaurant sales rose 2.3% while traffic fell 1.9% and average check per person rose 4.2%; the reported sales increase therefore came with fewer visits and higher spending per visit.

The operating footprint ended the quarter at 1,084 U.S. restaurants and 1,448 system-wide, including 959 company-owned and 489 franchised locations.

Restaurant-level operating margin financial
"Restaurant-level operating margin increased from Q2 2025 primarily due to higher average check"
Restaurant-level operating margin measures how much profit a single restaurant keeps from its sales after paying the direct costs of running that location — such as food, labor, utilities and local operating expenses — but before corporate overhead, interest and taxes. Investors use it like a per-store health check: it shows the underlying unit economics and efficiency of the business (think of it as the profit from one shop before headquarters and other corporate bills are taken out), which helps assess scalability and compare performance across locations.
Adjusted diluted earnings per share financial
"Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) $ 0.39 $ 0.32 $ 0.07"
Adjusted diluted earnings per share is the company’s net profit per share after accounting for potential extra shares (from options or convertible securities) and removing one‑time or unusual items so the number reflects ongoing business results. Think of it like timing a runner’s steady pace after excluding a few unexpected stops; it gives investors a clearer view of sustainable profit available to each share. Investors use it to compare companies and judge underlying profitability and valuation without short‑term distortions.
foreign currency forward contracts financial
"Q2 2025 also includes costs associated with the foreign currency forward contracts"
A foreign currency forward contract is a private agreement to buy or sell a specific amount of one currency for another at a fixed exchange rate on a set future date. Investors use these contracts to lock in the price they will get when converting foreign cash flows, reducing the risk that currency swings will erode revenue or raise costs; the tradeoff is giving up any benefit if exchange rates move in your favor.
equity method investment financial
"Loss from equity method investment, net of tax (864) (1,806)"
An equity method investment is an accounting way to report ownership in another company when an investor has significant influence (commonly around 20–50% of voting rights). Instead of listing the other company’s full assets and debts, the investor records its share of that company’s profits or losses on its own income statement—like keeping track of your share of a neighborhood bakery’s monthly earnings. Investors care because those shared profits, losses and changes in the investee’s value directly affect the investor’s reported earnings and balance sheet, so this method can materially change a company’s financial picture and valuation.
noncontrolling interests financial
"Less: net income attributable to noncontrolling interests 1,236 1,253"
The portion of a subsidiary’s equity and profits that belongs to outside owners rather than the parent company; when a parent reports consolidated results it includes the whole subsidiary but shows the noncontrolling slice separately. Think of a company’s subsidiary as a pie where the parent owns most slices but some are held by other investors — noncontrolling interests tell you how much of the pie and its future earnings don’t belong to the parent, which affects how much profit and net assets are truly attributable to the parent’s shareholders.
Total revenues $1,015.8 million up 1.3% from $1,002.4 million in Q2 2025
Diluted EPS from continuing operations $0.37 increase of $0.08 from $0.29 in Q2 2025
Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations $0.39 increase of $0.07 from $0.32 in Q2 2025
GAAP operating income margin 3.8 % up 0.8 percentage points from 3.0 % in Q2 2025
Adjusted operating income margin 4.0 % up 0.5 percentage points from 3.5 % in Q2 2025
Combined U.S. comparable restaurant sales 2.3 % compared to (0.1) % in Q2 2025
Guidance

For fiscal 2026, the company now expects diluted EPS of $0.85 to $0.95 and adjusted diluted EPS of $0.90 to $1.00. For Q3 2026, it expects diluted EPS between ($0.28) and ($0.23) and adjusted diluted EPS between ($0.27) and ($0.22).

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 and the corresponding margin, (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 office.
(d)Asset impairment charges and restaurant closing costs.

(1)See Table Five Adjusted Income from Operations and Margin Non-GAAP Reconciliations above for details regarding income from operations adjustments.
(2)The tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments is determined by recomputing the Benefit for income taxes on an adjusted basis. The difference between the recomputed Benefit for income taxes and the GAAP Benefit for income taxes represents the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments. The thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2025 also include an adjustment to Benefit for income taxes related to foreign currency gains on the Brazil Sale Transaction installment receivable.
