\nSweetgreen, Inc. (NYSE: SG) (the \u201cCompany\u201d), the mission-driven, next generation restaurant and lifestyle brand that serves healthy food at scale, today announced financial results for its first fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2023.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI am pleased with our first quarter results. We delivered strong top line sales while reducing losses in the first quarter, which was supported by positive traffic growth. As we continue to gain sales momentum, we see profitability within reach,\u201d said Jonathan Neman, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. \u201cWe have a number of exciting catalysts in the second quarter, including Sweetpass, our loyalty program, and a broader menu, which we believe will positively impact our guest experience and drive positive momentum throughout the balance of the year and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
First Quarter 2023 Financial Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nFor the first quarter of fiscal year 2023, compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2022:<\/p>\n (1) Restaurant-Level Profit, Restaurant-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of Restaurant-Level Profit, Restaurant-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, are set forth in the schedules accompanying this release. See \u201cReconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.\u201d<\/sup><\/p>\n Results for the first quarter ended March 26, 2023:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nTotal revenue in the first quarter of 2023 was $125.1 million, an increase of 22% versus the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in incremental revenue associated with 45 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the first quarter of 2022 through the end of the first fiscal quarter of 2023 and Same-Store Sales Change of 5%. The Same-Store Sales Change of 5% consisted of a 3% benefit from menu price increases that were implemented subsequent to the prior year period as well as a 2% increase from transactions.<\/p>\n \nOur loss from operations margin was (28)% for the first quarter of 2023 versus (49)% in the prior year period. Restaurant-Level Profit Margin was 14%, an increase of roughly 100 basis points versus the prior year period, due to a $1.8 million benefit from ERC\u2019s, as well as sales leverage and improved labor efficiencies, partially offset by an increase in packaging costs and an increase in prevailing wage rates.<\/p>\n \nGeneral and administrative expense was $34.9 million, or 28% of revenue for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $50.2 million, or 49% of revenue in the prior year period. The decrease in general and administrative expense was primarily due to a $7.9 million decrease in stock based compensation expense and the benefit of $5.1 million of ERC\u2019s. General and administrative expense was also impacted by an approximately $2.2 million decrease in management salaries and benefits, a $0.4 million decrease in COVID-19-related expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in other general and administrative costs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in consulting fees and expenses related to the amortization of costs associated with the implementation of our cloud computing arrangements in relation to our new ERP system, which was implemented during fiscal year 2022.<\/p>\n \nNet loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $(33.7) million, as compared to $(49.7) million in the prior year period. The decrease in net loss was primarily due to a $7.9 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense, $6.9 million benefit from ERC\u2019s as discussed above, as well as a $2.9 million increase in interest income and a 1% increase in our restaurant-level profit margin. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization associated with additional restaurants and an increase in pre-opening costs due to timing of new restaurant openings. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes stock-based compensation and certain other adjustments, was $(6.7) million for the first quarter of 2023, as compared to $(17.0) million in the prior year period. This improvement was primarily due to an increase in Restaurant-Level Profit and decrease in general and administrative expenses, as described above.<\/p>\n 2023 Outlook<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nFor the fiscal year 2023, we reiterate our full year guidance, with the exception of adjusted EBITDA loss, which now includes the $6.9 million benefit from employee retention credits:<\/p>\n \nWe have not reconciled our expectations as to Restaurant-Level Profit Margin and Adjusted EBITDA to their most directly comparable GAAP measures as a result of uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, reconciling items. Accordingly, reconciliation is not available without unreasonable effort, although it is important to note that these factors could be material to our results computed in accordance with GAAP.<\/p>\n Conference Call<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nSweetgreen will host a conference all to discuss its financial results today, May 4, 2023, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. A live webcast of the call can be accessed from Sweetgreen\u2019s Investor Relations website at investor.sweetgreen.com. An archived version of the webcast will be available from the same website after the call.<\/p>\n Forward-Looking Statements<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nThis press release and the related conference call, webcast and presentation contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements may relate to, but are not limited to, statements regarding our financial outlook for the full fiscal year 2023, including the expected number of Net New Restaurant Openings, expected revenue, expected Same-Store Sales Change, expected Restaurant-Level Profit Margin and expected Adjusted EBITDA; our expectations regarding the second fiscal quarter of 2023 and positive momentum in the remainder of the year; our expectations regarding the success of our loyalty program and broadened menu offerings and their impact on our balances throughout the year; our expectations about customer behavior trends, including during and following the COVID-19 pandemic and as a result of inflation; our expectations regarding the effects of inflation, increased interest rates, and an economic downturn on our business, including on labor rates and supply chain costs, as well as any future pricing actions taken in an effort to mitigate the effects of inflation, and our customers\u2019 willingness to pay our prices for higher quality food; our growth strategy and business aspirations, our expectations regarding the impact of automation on our operating model; our ability to achieve or maintain profitability; and our vision of being as ubiquitous as traditional fast food, but with the transparency and quality that consumers increasingly expect; and management\u2019s plans, priorities, initiatives and strategies.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved, if at all.<\/p>\n \nForward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made and are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management as of that time with respect to future events. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which involve factors or circumstances that are beyond our control, that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this press release and the related conference call may not occur and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include our ability to compete effectively, the impact of pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, uncertainties regarding changes in economic conditions and the customer behavior trends they drive, including long-term customer behavior trends during and following the COVID-19 pandemic, our ability to open new restaurants, our ability to effectively identify and secure appropriate sites for new restaurants, our ability to expand into new markets and the risks such expansion presents, the profitability of new restaurants we may open, and the impact of any such openings on sales at our existing restaurants, our ability to preserve the value of our brand, food safety and foodborne illness concerns, the effect on our business of increases in labor costs, labor shortages, and difficulties in hiring, training, rewarding and retaining a qualified workforce, our ability to achieve profitability in the future,our ability to identify, complete, and integrate acquisitions, the effect on our business of governmental regulation and changes in employment laws, the effect on our business of expenses and potential management distraction associated with litigation, potential privacy and cybersecurity incidents, the effect on our business of restrictions and costs imposed by privacy, data protection, and data security laws, regulations, and industry standards, and our ability to enforce our rights in our intellectual property. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectations is included in our SEC reports, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022 and subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.<\/p>\n \nAdditional information regarding these and other factors that could affect the Company\u2019s results is included in the Company\u2019s SEC filings, which may be obtained by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov<\/a>.

We believe these measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating our performance because these measures:<\/p>\n \nWe define Restaurant-Level Profit as loss from operations adjusted to exclude general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs, loss on disposal of property and equipment, and, in certain periods, impairment and closure costs and restructuring charges. Restaurant-Level Profit Margin is Restaurant-Level Profit as a percentage of revenue. As it excludes general and administrative expense, which is primarily attributable to our sweetgreen Support Center, we evaluate Restaurant-Level Profit and Restaurant-Level Profit Margin as a measure of profitability of our restaurants.<\/p>\n \nWe define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss adjusted to exclude interest income, interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, loss on disposal of property and equipment, other (income) expense, Spyce acquisition costs, and ERP implementation, and, in certain periods, impairment and closure costs and restructuring charges. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.<\/p>\n \nRestaurant-Level Profit, Restaurant-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. In particular, Restaurant-Level Profit and Adjusted EBITDA should not be viewed as substitutes for, or superior to, loss from operations or net loss prepared in accordance with GAAP as a measure of profitability. Some of these limitations are:<\/p>\n \nBecause of these limitations, you should consider Restaurant-Level Profit, Restaurant-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin alongside other financial performance measures, loss from operations, net loss, and our other GAAP results.<\/p>\n About sweetgreen<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nSweetgreen (NYSE: SG) passionately believes that real food should be convenient and accessible to everyone.
