Company profile

Business mix

  • Mainly the company's direct-operated and franchised full-service restaurants, the main brand Outback Steakhouse contributes most of the revenue, supplemented by differentiated brands such as Bonefish Grill, 75% of the stores are located in the United States.
  • The international business covers 12 countries, mainly based on the franchise model, with a limited revenue share but providing a light asset expansion path.

Current key questions

  • Whether the turnaround strategy can continue to boost customer flow and same-store sales, especially under the uncertain macro consumption environment.
  • The cost of key ingredients such as beef is high (high single-digit inflation), coupled with rising labor costs, the profit side is under pressure and needs to be hedged through pricing and efficiency optimization.
  • The store renovation plan requires a full-year capital expenditure of US$185-195 million, which may drag down free cash flow in the short term, but whether it can significantly increase customer flow and turnover rate in the long term remains to be verified.
