Bloomin’ brands provides interim business update related to covid-19
Tampa, fla.--(business wire)--bloomin’ brands, inc. (nasdaq: blmn) today announced a business update related to covid-19 as well as second quarter 2020 financial results. statement from david deno, chief executive officer our priorities remain unchanged as we continue to address these challenging times. we are focused on taking care of our people and serving food in a safe environment that protects both our team members and customers. the investments made over the past several years to enhance the customer experience and rapidly pursue the emerging delivery opportunity have been critical to our success in navigating this pandemic. at the onset of this pandemic in march, we were able to quickly pivot to an off-premises only business model as dining rooms were forced to close. the rapid growth we experienced in off-premises sales allowed us to keep substantially all of our locations open during this time. starting in may, states began the process of partially re-opening their economies. our decision to not furlough any employees during this pandemic has allowed us to quickly prepare our restaurants to re-open dining rooms in a safe and efficient manner. as of july 19, 2020, 928 company-operated restaurants (approximately 92% of u.s. restaurants) have reopened with limited in-restaurant dining capacity. at outback steakhouse, we had 527 restaurants open for dine-in service at limited capacity during the full week ended july 19, 2020. comparable restaurant sales at these locations were down 10.7% from the prior year. across our u.s. portfolio, we experienced consistent weekly sales momentum throughout the second quarter as we adapted to this evolving environment. this improved sales recovery, coupled with disciplined cost management, enabled us to generate positive cash flow for the month of june. recently, there has been a significant increase in reported covid cases in certain states, including florida and texas, where we have a total of 286 company-owned locations. this has resulted in some local governments responding by taking additional measures, including implementing a further reduction of in-restaurant capacity in certain locations. although this is a developing situation, to this point these capacity reductions have had a minimal impact on our overall sales trends. we continue to monitor and adhere to local restrictions and are maintaining elevated safety measures, including additional sanitation and disinfecting practices, use of gloves and facial protection for our employees, as well as contactless payment options for our consumers. despite these recent developments and the challenging environment that remains, we are looking forward to emerging as a better, stronger, operations-focused company. i am more convinced than ever of the important role that full-service restaurants will continue to play in the lives of our customers and our communities. recent sales results the following table includes u.s. company-owned comparable restaurant sales metrics for both

operating results on an adjusted basis. these are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with gaap and include the following: (i) adjusted restaurant-level operating margin, (ii) adjusted (loss) income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) adjusted net (loss) income, (iv) adjusted diluted (loss) earnings per share, (v) adjusted segment restaurant-level operating margin and (vi) adjusted segment (loss) income from operations and the corresponding margin. we believe that our use of non-gaap financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on gaap results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. however, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. we believe that the disclosure of these non-gaap measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and board of directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans. these non-gaap financial measures are not intended to replace gaap financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. we maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-gaap measures. these guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. however, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. you should refer to the reconciliations of non-gaap measures in tables four, five, and six included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period. about bloomin’ brands, inc. bloomin’ brands, inc. is one of the largest casual dining restaurant
