  • GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group was $4.6 million, or $0.15 per share ($0.17 adjusted net income per share) ****, compared to GAAP net income of $5.1 million, or $0.15 per share ($0.19 adjusted net income per share) ****
  • Restaurant Operating Profit*** increased 3.8% to $16.5 million from $15.9 million; and
  • Adjusted EBITDA** increased 11.3% to $14.5 million from $13.0 million.

Highlights for the full year 2023 compared to 2022 are as follows:

  • Total GAAP revenues increased 5.1% to $332.8 million from $316.6 million;
  • Consolidated comparable sales* decreased 2.7% and increased 43.8% compared to 2019;

“We are pleased with our fourth quarter results, especially our focus to improve restaurant-level margins and leverage our G&A. During the fourth quarter, we increased restaurant operating profit by 40 basis points to 19.3% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues, reduced G&A by 80 basis points to 8.8% of revenue and grew adjusted EBITDA by 11.3%. As we continue our expansion, we should benefit from greater leverage through the best practices and operating efficiencies we have put in place across our organization,” said Emanuel “Manny” Hilario, President and CEO of The ONE Group.

Hilario continued, “2023 marked a year of robust unit development. We added four new restaurants during the fourth quarter. Importantly, these locations and restaurant locations we opened earlier this year are performing well, bolstering our confidence in the long-term EBITDA and earnings power of our pipeline. In 2024, we plan to open six to eight new restaurants, including one or two managed and licensed restaurants. Earlier today, we opened an STK in Washington DC at the Marriott Grand Marquis and currently have three Company-owned restaurants under construction. Our strong reception in new geographies gives us line of sight towards our total addressable market of 400 venues consisting of 200 STKs globally and 200 Kona Grills domestically.”

*Comparable sales represent total U.S. food and beverage sales at owned and managed units opened for at least a full 18-months. This measure includes total revenue from our owned and managed locations. The Company monitors sales growth at its established restaurant base in addition to growth that results from restaurant acquisitions. 

**We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses including incremental costs related to COVID-19, stock-based compensation and certain transactional costs. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA in this release. 

***We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses. Restaurant Operating Profit has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Operating income to Restaurant Operating Profit in this release. 

****We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments. Adjusted Net Income has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income in this release.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased $1.6 million, or 1.8%, to $89.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $88.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $1.3 million, or 1.5%, to $85.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $83.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the six Company owned venues opened in 2023.

Consolidated comparable sales* decreased 4.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. STK same store sales decreased 4.6% while Kona Grill same store sales decreased 3.9%. Compared to 2019, our pre-pandemic base year, same store sales for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased 40.1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019; STK same store sales increased 55.4%, including a 41.3% increase in traffic, while Kona Grill same store sales increased 22.7%.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues increased $0.3 million, or 7.6%, to $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $4.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increased revenue and profit at our North American managed and license properties and STK Stratford.

Restaurant Operating Profit*** increased $0.6 million or 3.8% to $16.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $15.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. As a percentage of Company-owned restaurant net revenues, operating profit margin increased 40 basis points to 19.3% in the fourth quarter of 2023 from 18.9% in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was related to price increases and operational cost reduction initiatives partially offset by increased commodity prices and labor inflation.

General and administrative costs decreased $0.5 million, or 6.5%, to $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $8.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was attributable to decreases in travel and incentive-based performance compensation expenses. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative costs were 8.8% compared to 9.6%.

Pre-opening expenses were $2.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to $1.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was related to payroll, training, and non-cash pre-open rent for STK Charlotte, Kona Grill Phoenix, STK Boston and STK Salt Lake City, all of which opened in the fourth quarter, and for STK and Kona Grill restaurants currently under development.

GAAP net income attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $4.6 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to GAAP net income of $5.1 million, or $0.15 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted Net Income**** attributable to The ONE Group Hospitality, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $5.3 million, or $0.17 per share, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $6.5 million, or $0.19 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA** increased $1.5 million, or 11.3%, to $14.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 from $13.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Total GAAP revenues increased $16.1 million, or 5.1%, to $332.8 million in 2023 from $316.6 million in 2022.

Total owned restaurant net revenues increased $16.5 million, or 5.5%, to $317.4 million in 2023 from $300.9 million for 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a full year of sales for two STK restaurants that opened in the second half of 2022, the opening of three STK restaurants in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the opening of three Kona Grill restaurants during 2023.

Consolidated comparable sales* decreased 2.7% compared to 2022. STK same store sales decreased 3.0% while Kona Grill same store sales decreased 2.2%. Compared to 2019, the pre-pandemic base year, consolidated comparable sales increased 43.8%; STK same store sales increased 64.1%, including a 39.1% increase in traffic, while Kona Grill same store sales increased 23.6%.

Management, license and incentive fee revenues decreased $0.4 million, or 2.4%, to $15.4 million in 2023 compared to $15.8 million in 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the non-renewal of the management agreement for Radio at the ME London hotel.

Restaurant Operating Profit*** decreased to $50.4 million and represented 15.9% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in 2023 compared to $50.8 million and 16.9% of Company-owned restaurant net revenues in 2022. The decrease was primarily due to consolidated higher average wage and operating costs which were subject to inflationary pressures during 2023 that affected the restaurant industry.

STK Restaurant operating profit was $38.5 million and represented 20.9% of Company-owned STK restaurant net revenues compared to 21.5% in 2022. Kona Grill operating profit was $12.3 million and represented 9.3% of Company-owned Kona Grill restaurant net revenues compared to 10.8% in 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA** decreased $1.2 million, or 2.9%, to $40.1 million in 2023 from $41.3 million in 2022.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). In this press release, we also make references to the following non-GAAP financial measures: total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant Operating Profit and Adjusted Net Income (Loss).

Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units. Total food and beverage sales at owned and managed units represents our total revenue from our owned operations as well as the revenue reported to us with respect to sales at our managed locations, where we earn management and incentive fees at these locations. We believe that this measure represents a useful internal measure of performance as it identifies total sales associated with our brands and hospitality services that we provide. Accordingly, we include this non-GAAP measure so that investors can review financial data that management uses in evaluating performance, and we believe that it will assist the investment community in assessing performance of restaurants and other services we operate, whether or not the operation is owned by us. However, because this measure is not determined in accordance with GAAP, it is susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate these measures in the same manner. As a result, this measure as presented may not be directly comparable to a similarly titled measure presented by other companies. This non-GAAP measure is presented as supplemental information and not as an alternative to any GAAP measurements. The following table includes a reconciliation of our GAAP revenue to total food and beverage sales at our owned and managed units (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment loss, non-cash rent expense, pre-opening expenses, non-recurring gains and losses, stock-based compensation, COVID-19 related expense and certain transactional costs. Not all the aforementioned items defining Adjusted EBITDA occur in each reporting period but have been included in our definitions of terms based on our historical activity. Adjusted EBITDA has been presented in this press release and is a supplemental measure of financial performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP.

Lease termination expense are costs associated with closed, abandoned and disputed locations or leases.

(2)

Non-cash rent expense is included in owned restaurant operating expenses and general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Restaurant Operating Profit. We define Restaurant Operating Profit as owned restaurant net revenue minus owned restaurant cost of sales and owned restaurant operating expenses.

We believe Restaurant Operating Profit is an important component of financial results because: (i) it is a widely used metric within the restaurant industry to evaluate restaurant-level productivity, efficiency, and performance, and (ii) we use Restaurant Operating Profit as a key metric to evaluate our restaurant financial performance compared to our competitors. We use these metrics to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period, to analyze the factors and trends affecting our business and to evaluate the performance of our restaurants.

Adjusted Net Income. We define Adjusted Net Income as net income before COVID-19 costs, lease termination expenses, one-time stock-based compensation, non-recurring costs, non-cash rent during the pre-opening period and the income tax effect of any adjustments.

We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance, as it provides a clear picture of our operating results by eliminating certain one-time expenses that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Adjusted Net Income is included in this press release because it is a key metric used by management, and we believe that it provides useful information facilitating performance comparisons from period to period. Adjusted Net Income has limitations as an analytical tool and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies; accordingly, you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
