Investment Highlights
2015 acquisitions of Better Burger brands in the fast casual space sets the stage for strong 2016 results.
The below chart shows the significant growth in restaurant locations for HOTR over the past several years.
The main impetus for this growth were acquisitions in the “better burger” category. The acquisitions of BGR
the Burger Joint, BT’s Burger Joint, and Little Big Burger more than doubled company locations in 2015.
In a span of six years, HOTR has grown to 63 locations around the world and its growth strategy is to expand
these brands in the United States and emerging markets through franchising, acquisitions, and organic
growth. These locations give the Company a current annualized run rate of approximately $55 million. In
2016, HOTR expects to open about 8 to 10 new locations domestically and internationally. We expect three
of these locations to be company-owned restaurants domestically and the rest to be franchises, with a primary
focus on international BGR locations.
Normalized restaurant revenue grew 44% YoY to $12.5 million in 3Q15. Total reported revenues, which
include company-operated restaurant sales, franchise fees, and gaming income, grew to $10.3 million, a 10%
increase from last year’s third quarter results of $9.3 million. Company-operated restaurant revenues
increased 14.3% in 3Q15 to $10 million. This figure understates revenue growth significantly; however,
when these revenues were normalized for the temporary administrative period at Hooters Australia and
currency fluctuations, the Company increased its revenues by 44% to $12.5 million in the same period. The
strong revenue growth is primarily from acquisition of “better burger” brands, along with organic growth, as
indicated in the Company’s strong same store sales growth.
During 3Q15, HOTR reported a large one-time, non-cash impairment charge of $4.5 million, along with one-
time expenses related to merger and acquisition expenses. This led to a GAAP net loss per share of $0.33.
Adjusting for one-time expenses lowered the net loss per share to $0.11. The Company also resumed
operational control of its five Hooters locations in Australia during October 2015, and these locations will
once again contribute to GAAP revenue going forward. For 4Q15, management is projecting revenue of $13-
$14 million. This strong QoQ growth is driven by an estimated $1.5 million in revenues from the Company’s
recent acquisition of Little Big Burger and revenue from its Hooters Australia restaurants.
The Company generated strong same store sales growth in 3Q15 in its Fast Casual concepts, as indicated in
the following chart.
Same store sales growth was up a robust 16.2% in the Better Burger Fast Casual segment, Just Fresh same
store sales were up 7.1% and U.S Hooters same store sales were up 3%.
Cost of sales improvement in most business segments in 3Q15. The Company’s cost of sales improved in
many segments of its business in 3Q15. The Better Burger segments cost of sales improved from 36.8% in
3Q14 to 32.9% in 3Q15, while the cost of sales for Just Fresh improved from 36.2% in 3Q14 to 35.2% in
3Q15. Cost of sales improved as a percent of revenue at Hooters restaurants in the United States, South Africa
and other international locations. However, these improvements were offset by higher costs in Australia.
HOTR has divested its Margaritaville operation, so this will not weigh on cost of sales and operating expenses
going forward. We believe that cost of sales and operating expenses will improve in the coming quarters, as
restaurant operations and back office functions are consolidated in the Company’s segments. We believe that
improvement in back office functions will be particularly apparent in the Better Burger segment.
Company plans to shift its focus from acquisitions to driving cash flow. After a series of acquisitions that
began in 2013, the Company aims to drive positive cash flow in 2016. Currently, HOTR has 63 locations and
an estimated $55 million annual revenue run rate. HOTR plans to open 8-10 locations in 2016. The Company
plans to open an additional 3-4 company-owned locations in 2016, with the rest of the increase coming from
franchised operations. With no further planned acquisitions in 2016, the Company is focused on organic
growth and improvements in operating efficiency. HOTR is targeting to move food and beverage costs into
the low 30% range, along with generating cost efficiencies in back office operations. According to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, wholesale food prices have declined over the past 6-7 months, as shown in the following
chart from the National Restaurant Association:
Declines in food and beverage costs should lead to improvements in cost of sales, and thus also lead to
improvements in EBITDA. The Company believes it can generate restaurant level EBITDA of approximately
$6 to $8 million and overall EBITDA of $1 to $3 million in 2016.
Significant franchisee opportunity in Better Burger Space, with 80+ franchises under development
agreement for BGR. Chanticleer Holdings has rapidly expanded its better burger model since 2013 and has
acquired four brands in the better burger industry. The Company has acquired American Burger Company
(ABC), BGR: The Burger Joint, BT’s Burger Joint and Little Big Burger. With the increasing demand for
fast casual dining, these acquisitions provide HOTR with good potential for strong cash flows from the Better
Burger industry. American Burger Company (ABC) focuses on traditional American food offering with its
signature “Made in America” menu offering. The menu includes signature premium beef burgers, salads,
milk shakes, beer, and wine. ABC has three locations in Charlotte, one location in Smithtown, New York
and one location in South Carolina. The president and COO of ABC have been instrumental in the success
of fast food chain Bojangles.
In March 2015, the Company acquired BGR: The Burger Joint, which was named as the best burger in
Washington D.C. by Business Insider and also has been named as one of America’s Top 10 Chain Burgers
by MSN. The better burger menu is designed to provide the highest quality and includes burger styles like
prime and grilled over an open flame. BGR also has a brand audit underway with Streetsense. BGR has 10
corporate owned and 13 franchise locations with an additional 80+ franchise locations under a development
agreement for domestic and international markets; 35 of these locations are under an international agreement
with contracts in Kuwait, Qatar, and Dubai. We anticipate robust franchise growth in BGR over the next few
years.
HOTR also acquired BT’s Burger in 2Q15 which has four locations in North Carolina. It has a reputation for
serving one of the best burgers in North Carolina. HOTR acquired Little Big Burger in the third quarter which
increased its presence in the Pacific Northwest. Currently with eight locations in the Pacific Northwest, Little
Big Burger has earned excellent reviews and has been named “The next Chipotle” by the Huffington Post.
These acquisitions provide HOTR an excellent opportunity to have strong organic growth and franchise
opportunities in both domestic and international markets.
Excluding the better burger model, HOTR acquired a 56% ownership interest in Just Fresh in November
2013. Just Fresh has seven locations in Charlotte, North Carolina and its menu represents items which are
fresh and nutritious. A trend among consumers has been to seek out more nutritious food options, as the
following table indicates:
Just Fresh offers fresh sandwiches, wraps, smoothies, and soups. HOTR is currently evaluating franchise
opportunities in both domestic and international markets with huge upside potential for organic and
franchisee growth.
Exclusive Hooters Franchise rights in the United States and International Markets. Chanticleer
Holdings currently has exclusive franchise rights to develop and operate Hooters Restaurants in certain
United States and International markets. It currently operates 15 Hooters Restaurants worldwide with
locations in South Africa, Australia, Europe, and the United States. The figure below illustrates the number
of Hooters Restaurants Chanticleer Holdings has been operating since 2009.
In 3Q15, the Company went through a temporary administrative period at Hooters Australia. The Company
believed its operating partner had been mismanaging operations and the business could be more effective
with a brief administration process to enhance the Company’s operational and financial performance. During
this period, the company upsized its Australian ownership from 60% to 80% and improved the operations of
the five Hooters Australia stores with a new local partner, PCS Investments. The Company owns 80% of the
restaurants with the remaining 20% owned by PCS Investments. It has implemented new regional
management to drive improved performance. HOTR can open up to 15 locations in Australia. We expect
cash flow and margins from these restaurants to improve in the coming quarters. Further, more of the cash
flows generated from the restaurants will be retained by the Company, as its ownership percentage is now
greater.
HOTR is the only way to publicly invest in Hooters of America (HOA). Growing rapidly in fast casual
space, HOTR currently operates 15 hooters restaurants in the United States, Australia, South Africa, Hungary,
and the United Kingdom. In addition,, HOTR controls a 3% interest in HOA, the parent company of Hooters.
Hooters is a global brand with over 430 total restaurants in 28 countries that generate approximately $1 billion
in revenues. With its 3% stake in HOA, HOTR received cash dividends of $526,106 in August 2014 and
$543,000 in October 2015. We believe there is a strong chance that HOTR receives a similar size cash
dividend in 2016.
High traction in fast-casual restaurant chains. According to 2016 Restaurant Industry Forecast report by
the National Restaurant Association, restaurant industry sales have increased 33% since 2010 to $782.7
billion. Fast-food chains have dominated the restaurant industry for years, but fast-casual restaurants offer an
upgrade to fast food with higher quality food at affordable prices. Many industry experts categorize fast-
causal food with price ranges from $9 to $13, compared to an average price of $5 at a fast-food restaurant.
Fast casual chains grew 10.5% in 2014, giving them a total market size of $34.5 billion. According to data
from market research firm Euromonitor, fast casual chains have grown by 550%. One of the big players in
fast food restaurants, McDonalds, has recently started to introduce new menu items to compete with the fast-
casual restaurants. Companies like Shake Shack and Hamburger Joint, the closest publicly traded peers to
HOTR are growing at a fast rate and are being given premium multiples compared to other restaurant
operators. The chart below focuses on the growth rates between fast-casual and fast-food chains.
We believe that the Company, given its current growth plans and operating results, will not need to
raise additional equity capital. We believe, given a number of reasons, that the Company will not need to
raise additional equity capital. The majority of the Company’s debt is a $4.8 million loan at 12% interest
annually. The lender has not demanded scheduled principal repayments due since December 31, 2014, and
they will not demand the payments unless the negotiations are ended. Therefore, we are currently not
forecasting the Company to repay principal on this note in 2016. HOTR is also planning to refinance a portion
of its debt at a lower interest cost in 2016. Nonrecurring M&A expenses were $195,000 in 3Q15, and were
$1 million in 9M15. There might be a bit of spillover in 4Q15 but this should be non-recurring in 2016.
Further additions to cash flow should come from the acquisition of Little Big Burger and BGR franchises
which were opened in Texas and Kuwait in 3Q15. No further acquisitions are planned, and the focus is now
on organic growth and implementing operational efficiencies.
Going further into 2016, management has a positive outlook on the company’s cash flows and believes that
no additional capital is required . We believe this accurate, and our analysis is based on the following:
- The Company and the note holder of the mezzanine debt are currently in discussions to renegotiate
the terms of the principal payments and other terms of the agreement and the note holder has not
demanded any payments since December 31, 2014 nor will they unless the negotiations terminate.
We are assuming that the only debt payments HOTR need to make are interest payments in 2016.
- We are estimating positive operating cash flows of $0.5 million in 2016, and cash used in investing
activities (for new store openings) of $1.6 million in 2016. This leads to us projecting total cash at
the end of 2016 $0.45 million.
- Even if our projections are understating overall cash burn in 2016, we believe that the Company can
slow down or delay investment in new store openings, which will allow them to preserve more cash.
Additionally, with projected positive EBITDA in 2016 (we are projecting 2016 EBITDA $2.7
million), HOTR should continue to generate positive cash flow from operations.
We believe that HOTR’s overall cash burn will be less than $1.8 million through 4Q16 and we project that the Company
will generate positive operating cash flows (with no required principal debt repayments) in 2016. If the Company needs
to make principal debt repayments in 2016, we believe that HOTR may need to raise additional capital.
Valuation
We are valuing HOTR using 1.0x EV/Sales multiple applied to our 2016 sales estimate of $62.43 million.
This derives a target price of $2.56. A 1.0x EV/Sales multiple values HOTR near the low-end of its peer
group and we believe that a discount is appropriate, given that HOTR is a smaller company relative to the
majority of its comps, and the fact that the Company is just beginning to generate positive EBITDA. We
believe that HOTR has strong potential for cash flow growth, given its recent acquisitions of brands in a high-
growth segment of the restaurant market and its significant potential to grow the Company through both
company-operated and franchised stores.
Risks
Chanticleer Holdings has not yet generated positive cash flows. The Company has yet to generate positive
cash flows. While we believe that HOTR will begin generating positive EBITDA in 4Q15, this may not come
to fruition.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to effectively integrate its acquisitions. HOTR
acquired multiple brands in 2015 and it is unknown whether the Company can effectively integrate these
acquisitions and improve operations. Integrating acquisitions and effectively implementing operating
efficiencies will have an important impact on future Company results.
The Company has a high debt balance. This includes a $1 million line of credit from a local bank that
carries a personal guarantee from CEO Mike Pruitt and $4.8 million in debt at 12% interest annually. While
the debt balance is relatively high, the lender has not demanded principal repayments since December 2014
and will not demand payments unless negotiations terminate.
HOTR may need to raise additional equity and/or debt capital. Given the Company’s current operational plans, we
do not believe that HOTR will need to raise additional capital at least through the end of 2016. However, the Company
may need to raise capital post this period. Additionally, if cash flows are lower than expected, expansion plans are more
aggressive than anticipated, or the Company needs to repay a portion of its debt principal in 2016, than HOTR may need
to raise additional funds.
