Bob Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Potbelly Corporation, commented, “I am extremely proud of our strong performance in 2022, as our team executed at an exceptional level and helped us deliver record revenues and AUVs, expanding shop margins and profitability. Potbelly’s accelerated progress over the past two years is directly attributable to initiatives which support our Five-Pillar strategy. Our strategy serves as the foundation for our growth and strategic successes, including continuous menu innovation, strengthened operational efficiencies, and elevation in our marketing efforts. Last year, we made meaningful progress towards our 2024 strategic growth targets including improvement in AUVs, strengthened shop-level margins, and progress towards our franchise unit growth goals. We are proud to have signed agreements for the development of 51 new shops during 2022, supported by a strong and expanding franchisee pipeline. As we progress into 2023 and beyond, we will continue to leverage our proven Five-Pillar Strategy as a roadmap to achieving continued strong performance.”
Mr. Wright continued, “We had exceptionally strong fourth quarter results, generating record quarterly revenue and improved profitability. These results were driven by robust sales driven by traffic expansion and measured price increases, attesting to outsized demand despite macroeconomic uncertainty. Of note, scaling of our digital media campaigns, targeted digital promotions and Perks Loyalty Program activations drove our highest level of digital engagement to date during the quarter. This, coupled with elevated performance from CBD and airport shop locations, as well as continued momentum in catering, translated to record AUVs in a quarter that is historically impacted by seasonality. Additionally, shop-level margins expanded significantly, which was a function of top-line leverage, cost discipline and abating inflationary pressures. These results encapsulate the strength and potential of the Potbelly brand, and we believe we have only scratched the surface of the Company’s growth potential.”

Steve Cirulis, Chief Financial Officer, concluded, “2022 laid the groundwork for Potbelly’s next phase of growth, as we made significant progress towards our 2024 and long-term strategic growth and profitability targets. We exited the year with excellent momentum, which we expect to continue through 2023. We anticipate both revenue and profitability to grow in the upcoming first quarter and for the full year 2023, driven by continued execution against our Five-pillar strategy, including accelerated progress against our franchising and refranchising growth initiatives.”

1Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We prepare our financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Within this press release, we make reference to EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted net income, shop-level profit, and shop-level profit margin, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company includes these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they are useful to investors in that they provide for greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making.
Management uses adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS to evaluate the Company’s performance and in order to have comparable financial results to analyze changes in our underlying business from quarter to quarter. Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude the impact of certain non-cash charges and other items that affect the comparability of results in past quarters and which we do not believe are reflective of underlying business performance. Management uses shop-level profit and shop-level profit margin as key metrics to evaluate the profitability of incremental sales at our shops, to evaluate our shop performance across periods and to evaluate our shop financial performance against our competitors.
Accordingly, the Company believes the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, is a useful financial analysis tool that can assist investors in assessing the Company’s operating performance and underlying prospects. This analysis should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. This analysis, as well as the other information in this press release, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and footnotes contained in the documents that the Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company in this press release may be different from the methods used by other companies. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please refer to the table, “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures.”
