Sweetgreen, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

Sweetgreen, Inc. (NYSE: SG) (the “Company”), the mission-driven, next generation restaurant and lifestyle brand that serves healthy food at scale, today announced financial results for its fourth fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended December 26, 2021.

“Our fourth quarter results demonstrate continued recovery from the pandemic,” said CFO Mitch Reback. “We showed meaningful operating leverage as we experienced revenue growth, narrowed our operating loss, improved restaurant-level margins and leverage in our G&A, excluding stock-based compensation and non-recurring items. As we enter 2022, we are well positioned to make further progress towards our financial goals that prioritize unit growth and profitability.”

Full Fiscal Year 2021 Financial Results

For fiscal year 2021 compared to fiscal year 2020:

Total revenue was $339.9 million versus $220.6 million in the prior fiscal year, an increase of 54%.
Same-Store Sales Change of 25% versus Same-Store Sales Change of (26%) in the prior fiscal year.

31 Net New Restaurant Openings versus 15 Net New Restaurant Openings in the prior fiscal year.

Results for the fourth quarter ended December 26, 2021:

Total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 was $96.4 million, an increase of 63% versus the prior year period, primarily due to Same-Store Sales Change of 36% and additional revenue associated with 35 Net New Restaurant Openings during or subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2020 through the end of fiscal year 2021. The Same-Store Sales Change of 36% consisted of a 32% increase in transactions and a 4% benefit from menu price increases.

Our loss from operations margin was (50)% for the fourth quarter of 2021 versus (68)% in the prior year period. Restaurant-Level Profit Margin was 13%, an increase of 1,680 basis points versus the prior year period, driven primarily by increased sales leverage as we continued to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, the impact of a 4% menu pricing increase, and the termination of our loyalty program. Restaurant-Level Profit Margin was also impacted by favorability in labor and related costs from our operational simplification, which has led to more efficient scheduling, partially offset by increases in the prevailing wage rates across the country and an increase in bonus-related expenses as we increased our focus on employee retention, and work to navigate the increasingly tight labor market that continues to impact the restaurant industry.

General and administrative expense was $46.6 million, or 48% of revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $27.0 million, or 46% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a $21.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense, inclusive of a $5.4 million stock-based compensation charge related to previously issued performance-based stock options, which vested upon our IPO and $0.3 million of non-recurring costs associated with the Spyce acquisition. General and administrative expense was also impacted by approximately $1.5 million of costs related to our transition to operating as a public company. These increases were partially offset by a decline in COVID related costs and advertising and marketing expenses.

Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $(66.2) million, as compared to $(41.1) million in the prior year period. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the $21.5 million increase in stock-based compensation expense previously discussed, as well as a $17.4 million increase in other expenses. This non-cash expense increase is related to the change in fair value of our warrants immediately prior to IPO, as well as the change in fair value of our contingent consideration liability. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes these other expenses and certain other adjustments, was $(14.2) million for the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to $(29.0) million in the prior year period. This improvement was primarily due to increased Restaurant-Level-Profit, as previously discussed, Net New Restaurant Openings, sales leverage and the impact of menu pricing increases.

2022 Outlook

For fiscal year 2022, we are anticipating the following assuming no additional COVID-19 headwinds:

At least 35 Net New Restaurant Openings
Revenue ranging from $515 million to $535 million
Same-Store Sales Change of between 20% and 26%
Restaurant-Level Profit Margin between 16% and 17%
Adjusted EBITDA between $(40) million to $(33) million

Given sweetgreen is a long-term focused company, we plan on only giving annual guidance. However, given the timing of the earnings report in relation to quarter-end, we are issuing one-time quarterly guidance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022:

7 Net New Restaurant Openings
Revenue ranging from $100 million to $102 million
Same-Store Sales Change between 30% and 33%
Restaurant-Level Profit Margin between 10% and 11%
Adjusted EBITDA between $(20) million to $(18) million

Glossary

Average Unit Volume (“AUV”) - AUV is defined as the average trailing revenue for the prior four fiscal quarters for all restaurants in the Comparable Restaurant Base.
Comparable Restaurant Base - Comparable Restaurant Base for any measurement period is defined as all restaurants that have operated for at least twelve full months as of the end of such measurement period, other than any restaurants that had a material, temporary closure during the relevant measurement period. Historically, a restaurant has been considered to have had a material, temporary closure if it had no operations for a consecutive period of at least 30 days. As a result of material, temporary closures in the second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 19 restaurants were excluded from our Comparable Restaurant Base as of the end of fiscal year 2020. No restaurants were excluded from our Comparable Restaurant Base as of the end of fiscal year 2021.
Net New Restaurant Openings - Net New Restaurant Openings reflect the number of new sweetgreen restaurant openings during a given reporting period, net of any permanent sweetgreen restaurant closures during the same period.
Same-Store Sales Change - Same-Store Sales Change reflects the percentage change in year-over-year revenue for the relevant fiscal period for all restaurants that have operated for at least 13 full fiscal months as of the end of such fiscal period; provided, that for any restaurant that has had a temporary closure (which historically has been defined as a closure of at least five days during which the restaurant would have otherwise been open) during any prior or current fiscal month, such fiscal month, as well as the corresponding fiscal month for the prior or current fiscal year, as applicable, will be excluded when calculating Same-Store Sales Change for that restaurant. As a result of temporary closures of 19 restaurants due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2020, Same-Store Sales Change has been adjusted for fiscal years 2021 and 2020. Additionally, as a result of temporary closures of restaurants due to civil disturbances that occurred during one week in fiscal year 2020 we excluded only one week from the calculation of Same-Store Sales Change for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 (and we excluded the corresponding week from the corresponding fiscal periods in the prior fiscal year). Fiscal years 2020 and 2021 have been adjusted to reflect the temporary closures of (i) 19 restaurants in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) 56 restaurants in fiscal year 2020 due to civil disturbances that occurred during one week in fiscal year 2020 and (iii) 64 restaurants in fiscal year 2021 due to the civil disturbances that occurred in fiscal year 2020 referred to in clause (ii) above (which includes 8 additional restaurants that had not been operating long enough to be part of the Comparable Restaurant Base for the fiscal year 2020 calculations). This is because excluding an entire fiscal month for these restaurants which represented a significant portion of our restaurant fleet, would result in a Same-Store Sales Change figure that is not representative of our business as a whole. This exclusion impacted the calculation of Same-Store Sales Change for these restaurants for fiscal year 2021 and 2020.
Total Digital Revenue Percentage and Owned Digital Revenue Percentage - Our Total Digital Revenue Percentage is the percentage of our revenue attributed to purchases made through our total digital channels (which includes our owned digital channels and our marketplace channel). Our Owned Digital Revenue Percentage is the percentage of our revenue attributed to purchases made through our owned digital channels (which includes our pick-up channel, native delivery channel, and outpost channel, as well as purchases made in our in-store channel via digital scan-to-pay).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to our consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Restaurant-Level Profit, Restaurant-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin. We believe these measures are useful to investors and others in evaluating our performance because these measures:

facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. These potential differences may be caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact on periods or companies of changes in effective tax rates or NOL), and the age and book depreciation of facilities and equipment (affecting relative depreciation expense);
are widely used by analysts, investors, and competitors to measure a company’s operating performance; are used by our management and board of directors for various purposes, including as measures of performance, as a basis for strategic planning and forecasting; and
are used internally for a number of benchmarks including to compare our performance to that of our competitors.

We define Restaurant-Level Profit as loss from operations adjusted to exclude general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, pre-opening costs, impairment of long-lived assets and closed-store costs, and loss on disposal of property and equipment. 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.

We 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, impairment of long-lived assets and closed-store costs, Spyce acquisition costs, and other expense. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Restaurant-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:

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and Restaurant-Level Profit and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect all cash capital expenditure requirements for such replacements or for new capital expenditure requirements;
Restaurant-Level Profit and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Restaurant-Level Profit and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of the recording or release of valuation allowances or tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
Restaurant-Level Profit and Adjusted EBITDA do not consider the potentially dilutive impact of stock-based compensation;
Restaurant-Level Profit is not indicative of overall results of the Company and does not accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders, as corporate-level expenses are excluded;
Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account any income or costs that management determines are not indicative of ongoing operating performance, such as stock-based compensation, loss on disposal of property and equipment, impairment of long-lived assets and closed-store costs, Spyce acquisition costs, and certain other expenses; and
other companies, including those in our industry, may calculate Restaurant-Level Profit and Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

Because 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.

Our results for the fiscal year and the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2020, respectively, have been adjusted to reflect the material, temporary closures of 19 restaurants in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic by excluding such restaurants from the Comparable Restaurant Base. Without these adjustments, AUV would have been $2.0 million as of December 27, 2020.

(2)

Our results for the fiscal years ended December 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020 have been adjusted to reflect the temporary closures of (i) 19 restaurants in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, (ii) 56 restaurants in fiscal year 2020 due to civil disturbances that occurred during one week in fiscal year 2020 and (iii) 64 restaurants in fiscal year 2021 due to the civil disturbances that occurred in fiscal year 2020 referred to in clause (ii) above (which includes 8 additional restaurants that had not been operating long enough to be part of the Comparable Restaurant Base for the fiscal year 2020 calculations). With respect to the temporary closures due to civil disturbances, because excluding an entire fiscal month for these restaurants, which represented a significant portion of our restaurant fleet, would result in a Same-Store Sales Change figure that is not representative of our business as a whole, we excluded only one week from the calculation of Same-Store Sales Change for these restaurants. Without these adjustments, Same-Store Sales Change would have been 29% and (32%) for fiscal years ended December 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020, respectively. These temporary closures impacted the second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2020 and had no impact on Same-Store Sales Change for the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2021 and December 27, 2020.
