The Texas-themed steakhouse said it earned 61 cents per share in the fourth quarter on revenue of $725.238 million versus expectations of 52 cents per share and $713.8 million. Net income rose 40.7% year-over-year to $42.686 million although the results include an extra week compared to 2019.
Same-store sales during the fourth quarter rose 4.4% at company restaurants and 3.4% at franchised restaurants. Restaurant margin as a percentage of restaurant and other sales rose 117 basis points to 17.1% due to the extra week, a higher average check, and labor productivity. The company noted its performance was partially offset by wage rate and commodity inflation.
During the quarter the company opened 11 new restaurants, two of which were Bubba's 33 restaurants while three international franchise restaurants also opened.
