(NASDAQ: JACK) announced financial results for the Jack in the Box and Del Taco brands in the third quarter, ended July 7, 2024. “I am proud of our teams and how they continue to enhance the guest experience and deliver operational improvements during a challenging sales environment for our entire industry,” said Darin Harris, Jack in the Box Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to focus on value and ways we can improve transactions with the low-income guest — while at the same time, doubling down on our strengths of innovation, variety and late night. We will strive to finish the year strong with positive momentum heading into 2025, while continuing to execute against our strategic initiatives to achieve our long-term growth and profitability ambitions.” Jack in the Box Performance Same-store sales decreased 2.2% in the third quarter, comprised of franchise same-store sales decline of 2.4% and company-owned same-store sales increase of 0.1%. Transactions were down from prior year although slightly improved from last quarter. Systemwide sales for the third quarter decreased 1.3%. Restaurant-Level Margin (1) , a non-GAAP measure, was $21.1 million, or 21.0%, down from $21.1 million, or 21.8%, a year ago driven primarily by higher costs for labor and other restaurant operating costs, partially offset by lower food and packaging costs. The increase in labor was driven in large part from implementing California's new minimum wage law. Franchise-Level Margin (1) , a non-GAAP measure, was $74.6 million, or 41.1%, a decrease from $75.3 million, or 41.1%, a year ago. The decrease was mainly driven by the decline in franchise sales for the quarter. Jack in the Box net restaurant count remained flat in the third quarter, with three restaurant openings and three restaurant closures. Since the launch of the development program in mid-2021, the company has 96 signed agreements for a total of 437 restaurants, with 46 restaurants opened to date.

Sales performance resulted from a decline in transactions, partially offset by an increase in average check. Systemwide sales for the fiscal third quarter decreased 3.2%. Restaurant-Level Margin (1) , a non-GAAP measure, was $8.8 million, or 13.4%, down from $17.7 million, or 17.4%, a year ago. The decrease was due mainly to refranchising restaurants, and the margin percentage decline was driven by increased costs for labor and utilities, partially offset by menu price increases. The increase in labor as a percentage of sales was a result of implementing California's new minimum wage law and the sales decline. Franchise-Level Margin (1) , a non-GAAP measure, was $5.8 million, or 27.1%, compared to $5.5 million, or 36.7%, a year ago. The decrease in margin percentage was driven by the impact of refranchising and the associated increase in pass-thru rent and marketing fees. Del Taco restaurant count in the third quarter had five restaurant openings and three restaurant closings. Subsequent to the quarter, 27 Del Taco restaurants were refranchised, which included a development agreement for 25 additional restaurants.

Operating Earnings Per Share (2) , a non-GAAP measure, was $1.65 in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $1.45 in the prior year quarter. Total revenues decreased 7.0% to $369.2 million, compared to $396.9 million in the prior year quarter. The lower revenue is primarily the result of the Del Taco refranchising transactions. Net loss was ($122.3) million for the third quarter of fiscal 2024, with the loss resulting from the goodwill impairment noted below. This compared with net earnings of $29.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA (3) , a non-GAAP measure, was $78.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024 compared with $81.6 million for the prior year quarter. Company-wide SG&A expense for the third quarter was $29.6 million, a decrease of $10.0 million compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease was due primarily to lower incentive-based compensation, a favorable adjustment to our workers compensation and general liability reserves, and gains on the cash surrender value of our company-owned life insurance policies. When excluding net COLI gains, G&A was 2.0% of systemwide sales. During the third quarter, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment of $162.6 million to the Del Taco reporting unit. This is a non-cash charge that does not impact future operations and is the result of an internal goodwill impairment assessment triggered by i) a recent negative trend in Del Taco same store sales, ii) lower margins due in part to wage increases required in California effective April 1, 2024 under AB 1228, iii) unfavorable changes in the economic environment impacting our industry, including inflation and interest rates, and iv) a sustained lower share price. The income tax provisions reflect an effective tax rate of negative 0.1% in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to 32.6% in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023. The rate for the quarter was primarily due to the impairment of non-deductible goodwill. The non-GAAP adjusted tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 was 26.2%. (1) Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin are non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures are reconciled to earnings from operations, the most comparable GAAP measure, in the attachment to this release. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results." (2) Operating Earnings Per Share represents the diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis, excluding certain adjustments. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results." Operating earnings per share may not add due to rounding. (3) Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding certain adjustments. See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results." Capital Allocation The Company repurchased 0.3 million shares of our common stock for an aggregate cost of $15.1 million in the third quarter. As of the end of the third quarter, there was $195.0 million remaining under the Board-authorized stock buyback program. On August 2, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.44 per share, to be paid on September 19, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 30, 2024.

Systemwide sales include company and franchised restaurant sales. We do not record franchised sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues, marketing fees and percentage rent revenues are calculated based on a percentage of franchised sales. We believe franchised and systemwide restaurant sales information is useful to investors as they have a direct effect on the company's profitability. JACK IN THE BOX INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses the following non-GAAP measures: Adjusted Net Income, Operating Earnings Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, Restaurant-Level Margin and Franchise-Level Margin. Management believes that these measurements, when viewed with the company's results of operations in accordance with GAAP and the accompanying reconciliations in the tables below, provide useful information about operating performance and period-over-period changes, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the operating performance of the company's core business without regard to potential distortions. Operating Earnings Per Share Operating Earnings Per Share represents diluted earnings per share on a GAAP basis excluding acquisition, integration and strategic initiatives, net COLI gains, pension and post-retirement benefit costs, goodwill impairment, losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants, excess tax (benefits) shortfall from share-based compensation arrangements, and the tax-related impacts of the above adjustments. Operating Earnings Per Share should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Operating Earnings Per Share provides investors with a meaningful supplement of the company’s operating performance and period-over-period changes without regard to potential distortions. Below is a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable GAAP measure of net income. Also below is a reconciliation of Non-GAAP Operating Earnings Per Share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted earnings per share: 12 Weeks Ended July 7, 2024 July 9, 2023 Net income, as reported $ (122,300 ) $ 29,168 Acquisition, integration, and strategic initiatives (1) 4,723 2,463 Net COLI gains (2) (3,223 ) (579 ) Pension and post-retirement benefit costs (3) 1,579 1,608 Goodwill impairment (4) 162,624 — Losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants (5) 65 (5,794 ) Excess tax (benefits) shortfall from share-based compensation arrangements 53 (72 ) Tax impact of adjustments (6) (11,366 ) 3,238 Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income $ 32,155 $ 30,032 Weighted-average shares outstanding - diluted 19,541 20,649 Diluted earnings per share – GAAP $ (6.26 ) $ 1.41 Acquisition, integration, and strategic initiatives (1) 0.24 0.12 Net COLI gains (2) (0.16 ) (0.03 ) Pension and post-retirement benefit costs (3) 0.08 0.08 Goodwill impairment (4) 8.32 — Losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants (5) 0.00 (0.28 ) Excess tax (benefits) shortfall from share-based compensation arrangements 0.00 (0.00 ) Tax impact of adjustments (6) (0.58 ) 0.15 Operating Earnings Per Share – non-GAAP (7) $ 1.65 $ 1.45 ____________________ (1) Acquisition, integration and strategic initiatives reflect charges that are not part of our ongoing operations, including consulting fees for discrete project-based strategic initiatives that are not expected to recur in the foreseeable future. (2) Net COLI gains reflect market-based adjustments on the company-owned life insurance policies, net of changes in our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies. (3) Pension and post-retirement benefit costs relating to our two legacy defined benefit pension plans, as well as our two legacy post-retirement plans. (4) Represents the impairment taken on the Del Taco reporting unit goodwill. (5) Losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants (6) Tax impacts for the quarter calculated based on the non-GAAP Operating EPS tax rate of 26.2% in the current quarter and 26.8% in the prior year quarter. (7) Operating Earnings Per Share may not add due to rounding. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings on a GAAP basis excluding income taxes, interest expense, net, losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants, other operating expenses (income), net, goodwill impairment, depreciation and amortization, amortization of cloud computing costs, amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net, amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and other, net COLI gains, and pension and post-retirement benefit costs. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting the company's ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Below is a reconciliation of non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net earnings (in thousands): 12 Weeks Ended July 7, 2024 July 9, 2023 Net earnings (loss) - GAAP $ (122,300 ) $ 29,168 Income taxes 83 14,104 Interest expense, net 18,402 18,662 Losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants 65 (5,794 ) Other operating expenses (income), net (1) 5,641 7,656 Goodwill impairment (2) 162,624 — Depreciation and amortization 13,827 14,460 Amortization of cloud-computing costs (3) 787 1,170 Amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net (4) 234 127 Amortization of franchise tenant improvement allowances and other 1,191 1,057 Net COLI gains (5) (3,223 ) (579 ) Pension and post-retirement benefit costs (6) 1,579 1,608 Adjusted EBITDA – non-GAAP $ 78,910 $ 81,639 (1) Other operating expense (income), net includes: acquisition, integration and strategic initiatives; costs of closed restaurants; operating restaurant impairment charges; accelerated depreciation and gains/losses on disposition of property and equipment, net. (2) Goodwill impairment charges recognized on the Del Taco reporting unit in the third quarter of 2024. (3) Amortization of cloud computing costs includes the amounts for the non-cash amortization of capitalized implementation costs related to cloud-based software arrangements that are included within selling, general and administrative expenses. (4) Amortization of favorable and unfavorable leases and subleases, net, which is not already included in the other operating expense (income), net, noted above. (5) Net COLI gains reflect market-based adjustments on the company-owned life insurance policies, net of changes in our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation supported by these policies. (6) Pension and post-retirement benefit costs relating to our two legacy defined benefit pension plans, as well as the two legacy post-retirement plans. Restaurant-Level Margin Restaurant-Level Margin is defined as company restaurant sales less restaurant operating costs (food and packaging, labor, and occupancy costs) and is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Restaurant-Level Margin excludes revenues and expenses of our franchise operations and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Certain other costs, such as depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, other operating expenses (income), net, losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants, and other costs that are considered normal operating costs are excluded as they are considered corporate-level shared service costs. As such, Restaurant-Level Margin is not indicative of the overall results of the company and does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders because of the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Restaurant-Level Margin should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Franchise-Level Margin Franchise-Level Margin is defined as franchise revenues less franchise operating costs (occupancy expenses, advertising contributions, and franchise support and other costs) and is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with GAAP. Franchise-Level Margin excludes revenue and expenses of our company-operated restaurants and selling, general, and administrative expenses. Certain other costs, such as depreciation and amortization, goodwill impairment, other operating expenses (income), net, losses (gains) on the sale of company-operated restaurants, and other costs that are considered normal operating costs are excluded as they are considered corporate-level shared service costs. As such, Franchise-Level Margin is not indicative of the overall results of the company and does not accrue directly to the benefit of shareholders because of the exclusion of corporate-level expenses. Franchise-Level Margin should be considered as a supplement to, not as a substitute for, analysis of results as reported under GAAP or other similarly titled measures of other companies. The company is presenting Franchise-Level Margin because it believes that it provides a meaningful supplement to net earnings of the company's core business operating results, as well as a comparison to those of other similar companies.
