Acquisition

Why Chili's Owner Is Buying Back Franchises

An acquisition is sizzling at Chili's restaurant owner Brinker International (NYSE:EAT). On July 10, Brinker announced an agreement to acquire 116 Chili's restaurants from a franchise owner. This transaction will give Brinker full control over the day-to-day management of these locations. Brinker has been a strong operator of its company-owned stores, and this deal should provide a boost to earnings. wning vs. franchising restaurants To franchise or not to franchise? For Brinker, the answer has been to do both. The company has long employed a strategy of operating a sizable base of both company-owned and franchised restaurants under the brands Chili's Grill & Bar and Maggiano's Little Italy. Of the company's 1,676 total restaurants, roughly 60% are currently owned and operated by Brinker. The deal to acquire an additional 116 units will tip that balance toward owning more stores outright. But what are the trade-offs to owning vs. franchising units? Store Category Chili's Store Count* Maggiano's Store Count* Total Stores Company-owned 945 52 997 Franchised 678 1 679 *STORE COUNT AS OF MARCH 27, 2019. NOTE: TABLE REFLECTS STORE COUNTS BEFORE THE ANNOUNCED ACQUISITION OF 116 FRANCHISED UNITS. DATA SOURCE: BRINKER INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTS. There are advantages to franchising. Namely, a restaurant brand owner (Brinker, in this case) can outsource the day-to-day management of individual locations and focus on marketing and advertising. Brand owners charge fees to franchise operators to cover marketing expenses and also get a royalty on restaurant sales. This can be a very profitable business for the brand owners who do not have to tie up money into buying inventory or paying restaurant staff. Restaurant companies including McDonald's, Wendy's, and Dunkin' Brands franchise the vast majority of their units and boast healthy operating profit margins. Other restaurant companies including Chipotle Mexican Grill and Darden Restaurants operate their own units and have inferior profit margins. However, franchising doesn't make sense for every restaurant concept. When you outsource day-to-day operations to a third party, you lose control over the customer experience. If a third party operating a franchise doesn't do a good job or cuts corners, it could hurt the brand. Furthermore, a streamlined concept like Dunkin' Donuts may be easier for a third party to operate than a sit-down restaurant like an Olive Garden (owned by Darden Restaurants) or a Chili's. Also, having control over the restaurants gives the company control over all of the cash flows, not just the royalties received from a franchise. Profit margins may be lower, but the gross sum of profits is higher. Clearly, there are pros and cons to both restaurant strategies. The opportunity to improve performance A likely motivation for Brinker to acquire the franchised restaurants is the opportunity to create value by improving their operating performance. The 116 units being acquired generate $300 million in annual sales, or $2.6 million per restaurant. This compares to $2.8 million per company-owned restaurant. This represents a nearly 10% gap in gross revenue at the restaurant level that could be improved. The direction of revenue has also been stronger at company-owned Chili's locations. The comp growth metrics show that Brinker's company-owned Chili's have grown at a faster rate than franchised stores overall. Note that franchised comp growth reflects all franchised units, not just the ones being acquired. Brinker doesn't report the profitability of franchised restaurants, but restaurants that generate more revenue are probably more profitable. If Brinker can acquire franchised restaurants at a reasonable price and then make those units more profitable, the company will be able to create value for shareholders. The company has not disclosed the purchase price of the announced transaction, so investors do not yet know what kind of deal the company is getting. Brinker's low valuation One of the perks of being a franchisor is that investors generally reward you with a high valuation multiple. Investors like that franchisors are capital-light businesses that typically generate healthy profit margins, and they do not mind paying up for these stocks. Brinker International has not benefited from a premium valuation. Trading for just 10 times price to earnings (P/E), its valuation is quite low despite the fact that it franchises a third of its restaurants. Perhaps Brinker has a low valuation multiple because investors do not care for a hybrid owned/franchise model and have focused on the fact that the company is mostly a restaurant owner-operator. Another explanation could be Brinker's recent slide in profit margins. Whatever the reason, the low valuation gives the company less of an incentive to stay franchised. Looking forward The acquisition of the franchised stores checks out as a smart move. Brinker is a proven restaurant operator, and there is limited operational risk involved. The company can finance the deal with relatively cheap debt and is in a good position to improve profitability at the acquired restaurants. This is a surefire way to create value for shareholders so long as the company doesn't overpay for the assets. The deal is slated to close early in the company's fiscal year 2020 and is expected to be immediately accretive. Management will probably have more details to share in the coming months. With obvious upside and limited downside, the transaction appears to be a no-brainer. Luis Sanchez has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

CHILI'S GRILL & BAR OPENS FIRST LOCATION IN INDIA, WILL OFFER 80 PERCENT VEGETARIAN MENU

DALLAS, May 11, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- - Brinker International's Thriving Global Development Continues; The India Restaurant Opening is the 200th Brinker Restaurant Outside of the United States - Brinker International (NYSE: EAT) today announced the opening of the first Chili's Grill & Bar location in India, which is also its 200th restaurant outside of the United States. Brinker now owns, operates and franchises 200 restaurants outside the U.S., with locations in 28 countries and two territories. As part of the company's goal to become the globally dominant casual dining portfolio company, Brinker International plans to have 500 restaurants open outside of the United States by 2014. "Our plan is aggressive, about 50 restaurants a year, and we see a world of opportunity out there for us," said John Reale, president of global business development, Brinker International. "Comp sales are strong internationally, and our competitive advantage is a portfolio of brands our franchisees can growth with, including Chili's, Maggiano's, and On The Border Mexican Grill & Cantina." The first Chili's in India opened in Bangalore and was developed by Jawad Business Group. This restaurant is part of a 15-restaurant, five-year agreement that will expand Brinker's presence throughout India. Jawad Business Group is experienced developing other restaurant brands in India and has been a Brinker partner for several years, franchising Chili's in Bahrain and Maggiano's in Saudi Arabia. "Jawad Business Group is a strong, longtime business partner of ours in the Middle East," said Reale. "This expansion of our partnership into India is ideal because underscores their desire to grow with not just one, but all three Brinker brands." The menu at the Bangalore Chili's was developed specifically for the region. Chili's global chefs researched Indian ingredients, local cuisine preferences and competitive menus to craft a menu that comprises the essence of Chili's American-Southwest cuisine with a touch of familiar fare for the local consumer. More than 80 percent of the menu offerings can be prepared vegetarian. Though the menu will be different than other Chili's restaurants around the world, it offers familiar flavors and a heat profile that local guests will appreciate and enjoy. "Chili's-Bangalore will offer guests a unique dining experience with bold, kicked up flavors," said Reale. "From the Tandoori Chicken Sandwich to the Paneer Bites to the Bombay Burger, guests will find local flavors they enjoy infused with the brand's Southwestern heritage." The new Chili's is on Airport Road-Bangalore, Bengaluru, India. The 126-seat restaurant will be open 11 a.m. - 11 p.m. daily. About Brinker International Brinker International, Inc.
