- Adjusted EBITDA* increased $1.6 million to $29.2 million.
*Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Please see definitions and the reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures in the accompanying financial information below.
Recent Developments and Trends
We continue to see revenue growth due to our new restaurant openings, as well as same-restaurant sales growth. Total revenue grew 12.3% during the quarter ended June 25, 2023 and 14.1% for the two quarters ended June 25, 2023. Same-restaurant sales grew 5.9% during the quarter ended June 25, 2023, compared to 1.9% same-restaurant sales growth during the same quarter in 2022. Same-restaurant sales grew 7.4% during the two quarters ended June 25, 2023, compared to 4.8% same-restaurant sales growth during the two quarters ended June 26, 2022.
During the quarter ended June 25, 2023, we opened one new restaurant in Gilbert, Arizona for a total of 76 restaurants, including a restaurant owned by C&O, of which Portillo’s owns 50% of the equity. Our six new restaurants opened in 2022 and 2023, positively impacted revenues by approximately $10.4 million and $20.9 million in the quarter and two quarters ended June 25, 2023, respectively. We plan to open eight more new restaurants in the third and fourth quarters of 2023.
In the quarter and two quarters ended June 25, 2023, we continued to experience commodity inflation, but to a lesser extent than we saw in 2022. Commodity inflation was 5.5% and 7.1% for the quarter and two quarters ended June 25, 2023, respectively, compared to 15.2% and 15.5% for the quarter and two quarters ended June 26, 2022. We expect our overall commodity inflation to ease over the course of the year and currently estimate commodity inflation in the mid-single digits for the full fiscal year. Labor expenses, as a percentage of revenue, slightly increased during the second quarter of 2023 compared to the same quarter in 2022. For the two quarters ended June 25, 2023, we experienced a decline in labor expenses, as a percentage of revenue, compared to the two quarters ended June 26, 2022 primarily due to increases in our average check, partially offset by additional wage investments. Subsequent to the quarter, we made additional wage investments in our team members. We currently estimate mid-single digit labor inflation for the full fiscal year. During mid-January 2023 and at the beginning of May 2023, we increased certain menu prices to reflect an approximate 2.0% and 3.0% price increase, respectively, to continue to combat inflationary cost pressures and progress towards our goal to improve Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA margins for fiscal 2023. We will continue to monitor the environment and make additional pricing decisions, if necessary.
In the quarter ended June 25, 2023, operating income margin and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin continued to improve since the fourth quarter of 2022. We believe this improvement was the result of our ongoing efforts to deploy strategic pricing actions, elevate guest experiences, and implement operational efficiencies.
Review of Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results
Revenues for the quarter ended June 25, 2023 were $169.2 million compared to $150.6 million for the quarter ended June 26, 2022, an increase of $18.6 million or 12.3%. The increase in revenues was primarily attributed to the opening of two restaurants in the second through fourth quarters of 2022 and four restaurants during the two quarters ended June 25, 2023 and an increase in our same-restaurant sales. Same-restaurant sales increased 5.9% during the second quarter ended June 25, 2023, which was attributable to an increase in average check of 7.1% and a 1.2% decrease in transactions. The higher average check was driven by an approximate 9.9% increase in certain menu prices partially offset by product mix. New restaurants positively impacted revenues by approximately $10.4 million in the quarter ended June 25, 2023. For the purpose of calculating same-restaurant sales for June 25, 2023, sales for 66 restaurants were included in the Comparable Restaurant Base (as defined in “Selected Operating Data” below).
Total restaurant operating expenses for the second quarter ended June 25, 2023 were $126.5 million compared to $112.2 million for the second quarter ended June 26, 2022, an increase of $14.2 million or 12.7%. The increase in restaurant operating expenses was driven by the opening of two restaurants in the second through fourth quarters of 2022 and four restaurants during the two quarters ended June 25, 2023. Additionally, food, beverage and packaging costs were negatively impacted by a 5.5% increase in commodity prices, partially offset by lower third-party delivery commissions. Labor expense increases were also driven by incremental investments to support our team members, including annual rate increases primarily made in July 2022, and higher variable-based compensation. These labor increases were partially offset by operational efficiencies. Operating expenses increased due to an increase in repair and maintenance expenses, credit card fees, insurance, and utilities.
General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 25, 2023 were $19.6 million compared to $15.4 million for the quarter ended June 26, 2022, an increase of $4.2 million or 27.0%. This increase was primarily driven by increases in variable-based compensation, salaries and wages attributable to annual rate increases, the filling of open positions, software and other licensing fees, and advertising expenses.
Operating income for the second quarter ended June 25, 2023 and June 26, 2022 was $17.4 million. There was an immaterial decrease in operating income in the second quarter ended June 25, 2023 compared to the second quarter ended June 26, 2022 due to the aforementioned increase in revenues and lower pre-opening expenses due to the timing and geographic location of activities related to our planned restaurant openings, more than offset by the aforementioned increases in expenses and higher depreciation and amortization.
Net income for the second quarter ended June 25, 2023 was $9.9 million compared to net income of $10.8 million for the second quarter ended June 26, 2022, a decrease of $0.9 million or 8.0%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a decrease in the Tax Receivable Agreement liability adjustment of $1.2 million, an increase in interest expense of $0.4 million, and the aforementioned decrease in operating income, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense of $0.8 million. The $0.4 million increase in interest expense was primarily driven by a higher effective interest rate attributable to the year over year rising interest rate environment, partially offset by the improved lending terms associated with our 2023 Term Loan and 2023 Revolver Facility.
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter ended June 25, 2023 was $42.7 million compared to $38.4 million for the second quarter ended June 26, 2022, an increase of $4.3 million or 11.3%.
Adjusted EBITDA* for the second quarter ended June 25, 2023 was $29.2 million compared to $27.6 million for the second quarter ended June 26, 2022, an increase of $1.6 million or 5.8%.
*A reconciliation of Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the nearest GAAP financial measure is included under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the accompanying financial information below.
Development Highlights
During the two quarters ended June 25, 2023, we opened the remaining four restaurants that were planned for 2022. The opening of these restaurants brings the total restaurant count to 76, including a restaurant owned by C&O of which Portillo’s owns 50% of the equity.

The following definitions apply to these terms as used in this release:
Same-Restaurant Sales – The change in same-restaurant sales is the percentage change in year-over-year revenue (excluding gift card breakage) for the Comparable Restaurant Base, excluding a restaurant that is owned by C&O. The Comparable Restaurant Base is defined as the number of restaurants open for at least 24 full fiscal periods. As of June 25, 2023 and June 26, 2022, there were 66 and 61 restaurants in our Comparable Restaurant Base, respectively.
A change in same-restaurant sales growth is the result of a change in restaurant transactions, average guest check, or a combination of the two. We gather daily sales data and regularly analyze the guest transaction counts and the mix of menu items sold to strategically evaluate menu pricing and demand. Measuring our same-restaurant sales growth allows management to evaluate the performance of our existing restaurant base. We believe this measure provides a consistent comparison of restaurant sales results and trends across periods within our core, established restaurant base, unaffected by results of restaurant openings and enables investors to better understand and evaluate the Company’s historical and prospective operating performance.
Average Unit Volume (“AUV”) – AUV is the total revenue (excluding gift card breakage) recognized in the Comparable Restaurant Base, including a restaurant that is owned by C&O, divided by the number of restaurants in the Comparable Restaurant Base, including C&O, by period.
This key performance indicator allows management to assess changes in consumer spending patterns at our restaurants and the overall performance of our restaurant base.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin – Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing core operating performance as identified in the reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin – Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenue, less restaurant operating expenses, which include food, beverage and packaging costs, labor expenses, occupancy expenses and other operating expenses. Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA excludes corporate level expenses and depreciation and amortization on restaurant property and equipment. Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue. See also “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

PORTILLO’S INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin. Accordingly, these measures are not required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP, but rather are supplemental measures of operating performance of our restaurants. You should be aware that these measures are not indicative of overall results for the Company and that Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin do not accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders because of corporate-level expenses excluded from such measures. These measures are supplemental measures of operating performance and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. These measures are important measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of our restaurants, individually and in the aggregate, but also have important limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income taxes, adjusted for the impact of certain non-cash and other items that we do not consider in our evaluation of ongoing core operating performance as identified in the reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of total revenues.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin (i) to evaluate our operating results and the effectiveness of our business strategies, (ii) internally as benchmarks to compare our performance to that of our competitors and (iii) as factors in evaluating management’s performance when determining incentive compensation.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important measures of operating performance because they eliminate the impact of expenses that do not relate to our core operating performance.
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA is defined as revenue, less restaurant operating expenses, which include food, beverage and packaging costs, labor expenses, occupancy expenses and other operating expenses. Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA excludes corporate level expenses and depreciation and amortization on restaurant property and equipment. Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.
We believe that Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA and Restaurant-Level Adjusted EBITDA Margin are important measures to evaluate the performance and profitability of our restaurants, individually and in the aggregate.
