Opened 34 Shops, Revenue Up 54% Year-over-Year
Increases Development Target to at least 130 Shop Openings in 2022
Revises Full Year 2022 Outlook
GRANTS PASS, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE: BROS; “Dutch Bros” or the “Company”) one of the fastest-growing brands in the food service and restaurant industry in the United States by location count, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company also revised its full year 2022 outlook.
Joth Ricci, Chief Executive Officer and President of Dutch Bros Inc., stated, “The consumer demand for our beverages remains strong. Our substantial top-line revenue growth of 54% was primarily driven by the 107 company-operated shops opened over the past twelve months, a 56% increase, including 34 during the first quarter, and same shop sales of 6.0%. As a people-led growth story, we are particularly encouraged by our staffing levels and the performance of our newest shops, spread across many markets, including some that generated record initial sales. Our ability to increase revenues while successfully developing new shops reinforces our commitment to offering exceptional drive-thru experiences and confidence in our long-term strategy and growth targets.”
He added, “Still, we were not immune to the record inflation that surpassed our expectations and pressured margins in our company-operated shops. While we believe these margin impacts may be short-term, we have opted to take a more conservative stance regarding adjusted EBITDA for 2022 as we monitor our pricing and the escalating cost environment.”
He concluded, “We are currently celebrating Dutch Bros’ milestone 30th anniversary, and have marked the occasion by launching our eastward expansion, beginning in Nashville. While Dutch Bros is already a well-established and respected brand on the West Coast, we are still in the early stages of our development with the potential for at least 4,000 shops nationwide over the next 10 to 15 years. In 2022, we now intend to open at least 130 new shops, supported by a robust pipeline and strong consumer acceptance. Besides moving east, we are excited about further expansion in existing markets, including Southern California, which we believe will be another significant growth market. As we continue on our journey, we are committed to always putting our people first and making a massive difference in the lives of our employees, customers, and communities. To that end, I am pleased to announce that, along with our franchise partners, we raised over $800,000 in our annual Dutch Luv fundraiser for local food banks, surpassing over $2.1 million raised since 2019.”
First Quarter 2022 Highlights:
-
Opened 34 new shops, our second-highest quarterly opening count on record. All shops opened in the quarter were company-operated shops.
-
Total revenues grew 54.0% to $152.2 million as compared to $98.8 million in the same period of 2021.
-
Company-operated shop revenues increased 67.1% to $130.2 million as compared to $77.9 million in the same period of 2021.
-
System same shop sales1
grew 6.0% in the first quarter and 11.1% vs. 2019. Company-operated same shop sales grew 5.1% in the first quarter, reflecting higher traffic and check, partially offset by intentional sales transfer, and 9.9% vs. 2019.
-
Company-operated shop gross profit was $16.6 million as compared to $17.6 million2 in the same period of 2021.
-
Company-operated shop contribution3, a non-GAAP financial measure, grew 14.1% to $23.8 million as compared to $20.8 million2 in the same period of 2021.
-
Net loss was $(16.3) million as compared to $(4.8) million2 in the same period of 2021. For the first quarter of 2022, we recognized $9.9 million of non-cash equity-based compensation.
-
Adjusted EBITDA3, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $9.7 million as compared to $18.7 million2 in the same period of 2021. Rapid escalations in dairy costs well above historic levels drove increases in our cost of sales. Costs related to more rapid new unit growth, escalating minimum wage in select mature markets, and other factors drove increases in labor costs. The timing of certain maintenance and travel costs also contributed to increased operating and other costs.
-
Adjusted net income (loss)3, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $(2.5) million as compared to $12.3 million2 in the same period of 2021.
-
Net loss per share of Class A and Class D common stock - diluted was $(0.10) and Adjusted net loss per fully exchanged share of common stock3, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $(0.02).
1 Same shop sales is defined in the section “Select Financial Metrics”.

2 The Company’s historical results have been revised to reflect an immaterial error correction related to employee sick leave accrual. For additional information, see sections “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations”, “Company-operated Shop Results”, and “Supplemental Reconciliation of GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals”.

3 Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Outlook
For full year 2022, Dutch Bros is providing the following outlook:
-
Total system shop openings are now expected to increase to at least 130, of which at least 110 shops will be company-operated.
-
Total revenues are projected to remain in the range of $700 million to $715 million, reflecting our continued expansion in shop openings.
-
Same shop sales1
growth is now estimated to be approximately flat.
-
Adjusted EBITDA2 is now estimated to be at least $90 million, reflecting near-term margin pressure in our company-operated shops and our decision to take modest price increases during the year.
-
Capital expenditures are still estimated to be in the range of $175 million and $200 million, which includes approximately $15 million to $20 million for our new roasting facility that we project will open in 2023.
For Q2 2022, Dutch Bros is providing the following outlook:
-
Total shop openings are expected to be at least 30, of which nearly all shops will be company-operated.
-
Same shop sales1are estimated to be flat to slightly negative as we face macro-economic headwinds impacting consumer discretionary income and gas prices. April same shop sales were (3.7)% in 2022 compared to 22.6% in 2021, our largest rollover of the year.

1 Same shop sales is defined in the section “Select Financial Metrics”.

2 We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliations to the corresponding GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

1 The Company identified an immaterial error related to the accrual of employee sick leave and the application of ASC 710, Compensation - General, which resulted in corrections to prior period reported amounts within the condensed consolidated statement of operations, segment financials, company-operated shop segment financial results, and non-GAAP results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 with impacted line items presented below.
|
• Net loss prior period adjustment details are provided in the section “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations”.
|
• Company-operated gross profit and contribution prior period adjustment details are provided in the sections “Segment Financials” and “Company-operated Shop Results”.
|
• Adjusted EBITDA prior period adjustment details are provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
|
2 AUVs are determined based on the net sales for any trailing twelve-month period for systemwide and company-operated shops that have been open a minimum of 15 months. AUVs are calculated by dividing the net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations.
|
3 Same shop sales growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer. Management uses this metric as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table.

5 Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales include company-operated shop revenue and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods noted. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of overall Dutch Bros locations financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.
|
6 Dutch Rewards, a digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app, was launched February 2021. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance.
Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.
Company-operated shop contribution (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)
Definition and/or calculation
Company-operated segment gross profit, before company-operated shop depreciation and amortization. Company-operated shop contribution in dollars (as defined), taken as a percentage of company-operated shop revenue.
This non-GAAP measure is used by our management in making performance decisions without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. This is a standard metric used across the industry by our investors.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA (in dollars and as a percentage of revenue)
EBITDA — definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss) before interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes expense (benefit), and depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA — definition and/or calculation
Defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based compensation, expenses associated with equity offerings, COVID-19: “Thank You” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, and costs incurred for company-wide milestone events.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin — definition and/or calculation
Defined as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above), taken as a percentage of total revenue.
Usefulness to management and investors
These non-GAAP measures are supplemental operating performance measures we believe facilitate comparisons to historical performance and competitors’ operating results. We believe the non-GAAP measures presented provide investors with a supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Adjusted net income (loss)
Definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss), excluding equity-based compensation expense, expenses associated with equity offering, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events, and income tax effects of items excluded from net income (loss).
Usefulness to management and investors
This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. We believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.
Adjusted fully exchanged weighted-average shares of diluted common stock outstanding
Definition and/or calculation
Weighted-average shares of Class A and Class D common stock outstanding - basic with addition of dilutive impacts of RSAs and RSUs, as well as the assumed exchange of the weighted-average shares of Class B and Class C common stock.
Usefulness to management and investors
This non-GAAP measure is used a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By adding in the assumed full exchange of all of our outstanding Class B and Class C common stock, we believe this measure facilitates a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.
Adjusted net income (loss) per fully exchanged share of diluted common stock
Definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss) per share of Class A and Class D common stock – diluted, excluding per share impacts of equity-based compensation expense, expenses associated with equity offering, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events, income tax effects of items excluded from net income (loss), and removal of per share impacts of controlling and non-controlling interests.
Usefulness to management and investors
This non-GAAP measure is used as a supplemental measure of operating performance that we believe is useful to evaluate our performance period over period and relative to our competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all of our outstanding Class B and Class C common stock and related net income (loss) adjustments, we believe these measures facilitate a better comparison with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period.
Non-GAAP adjustments
Below are the definitions of the non-GAAP adjustments that are used in the calculation of our non-GAAP measures, as described above.
Equity-based compensation
Non-cash expenses related to the grant and vesting of stock awards, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units in Dutch Bros PubCo1 and/or Profit Interest Units in Dutch Bros OpCo2 to certain eligible employees.
Expenses associated with equity offerings
Costs incurred as a result of our stock offerings. These costs include legal fees, consulting fees, tax and accounting fees, and payroll taxes related to the grant and vesting of stock awards for certain employees.
COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave
Costs related to two separate programs established to support employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. We implemented an hourly wage supplement program for shop employees who continued to work while their state or county was under a stay at home order or similar lockdown requirement. This program lasted in various markets until April 2021. We also established a catastrophic leave policy that provided paid leave to employees who were required to quarantine due to in-shop exposures and could not work their regular hours. All COVID-19-related protocols, including catastrophic leave, will remain in effect until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic as determined by the appropriate government agency.
COVID-19: Prepaid costs not utilized
Costs related to the write-off of previously prepaid expenses for the development of a virtual corporate engagement platform built in response to the health restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform was developed as a substitute for in-person engagement practices used pre-pandemic. The platform has been determined ineffective, particularly as we shift back to in-person events with the easing of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Milestone events
Costs incurred for company-wide events to celebrate 30 years of serving high QUALITY, hand-crafted beverages with unparalleled SPEED and superior SERVICE to our customers.
Assumed exchange of weighted-average Class B and Class C shares of common stock
Weighted-average shares of Class B and C common stock that are assumed to be exchanged for Class A common stock.
Removal of allocation for controlling and non-controlling interests
Removal of the net income (loss) allocation to controlling and non-controlling interests to align the numerator of the net income (loss) per share to the denominator, which assumes the full exchange of shares of Class B and Class C common stock.

Supplemental Reconciliations of GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals
Following are the reconciliations of the most comparable GAAP financial measure to non-GAAP financial measure. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the reconciliations from U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP actuals should be carefully evaluated. Please refer to "Explanation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in this release for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, the ways management uses the non-GAAP measures, and the reasons why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.
