Achieves $254 million in Revenue in Quarter,
a 26% Increase Year-over-Year
Releases 2024 Guidance
Announces Project to Establish
Organizational Structure of the Future
Dutch Bros Inc. (NYSE: BROS; “Dutch Bros” or the “Company”), one
of the fastest-growing brands in the quick service beverage
industry in the United States by location count, today reported
financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December
31, 2023.
Christine Barone, Chief Executive Officer and President of Dutch
Bros, stated, “We had an exceptional 2023 and entered 2024 with
great momentum. We continued to drive steady new shop growth, and
Q4 marked our 10th consecutive quarter of 30+ new shop openings. In
2023, we opened 159 shops, of which 146 were company-operated. Our
system AUV reached its highest on record since the IPO, and we
delivered a 2.8% increase in system same shop sales growth. These
results led to a terrific 2023 where we delivered 31% in annual
revenue growth. Early last year, we began a series of
traffic-driving initiatives outlined on our Q1 call in May. We saw
the impact of these efforts culminate with a 5.0% increase in
system same shop sales in Q4, driven by a sequential improvement in
customer traffic.”
She continued, “We are optimistic for our next phase of growth.
In January, we announced three additions to our leadership team:
Sumi Ghosh, incoming President of Operations, Josh Guenser,
incoming CFO, and Jess Elmquist, Chief People Officer. The entire
team is looking forward to adding the wealth of experience they
bring to what already makes Dutch Bros great.”
She added, “Our leadership team embarked on a project last year
to outline how our corporate team can best support our shops as we
scale and grow. We recognize the importance of continuing to
attract top-notch talent, and we believe adding a significant
presence in the Phoenix market positions us to better compete for
this talent. We also believe this expansion will enable easier
access to our operations as we grow across the United States.”
She concluded, “It is incredible that a single coffee cart in
Grants Pass, Oregon has grown over the last 30+ years to over 830
shops across 16 states employing approximately 24,000 people. We
are proud of our origin and heritage, and we expect to maintain a
significant presence in Southern Oregon, where our roasting,
accounting and other functions will continue to be based. Southern
Oregon has been a key part of Dutch Bros’ success, and we will
remain connected to the region in a meaningful way. ”

Arizona Support Center Expansion
Dutch Bros is engaging in a large-scale organizational design
initiative that will shift certain positions to its Phoenix,
Arizona office:
- As part of this move, the Company estimates approximately 40%
of support center staff will be located in Arizona by January 1,
2025. Many of these positions will focus on driving the strategic
direction of the Company and assisting day-to-day operations in the
field.
- The Company expects to maintain a significant presence in
Southern Oregon, where its roasting, accounting and select other
support functions will continue to be based.
- The Company anticipates this initiative will incur
approximately $24 million to $31 million in costs, plus
approximately $6 million to $10 million in capital expenditures
related to the Arizona office expansion.
Outlook
- Total system shop openings in 2024 are expected to be in
the range of 150 to 165.
- Total revenues are projected to be between $1.190
billion and $1.205 billion.
- Same shop sales growth is estimated to be in the low
single digits.
- Adjusted EBITDA3 is estimated to be between $185 million
to $195 million and Adjusted SG&A3 is estimated to be between
$183 million and $189 million. The expected costs related to our
announced support center expansion in Arizona will be excluded from
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted SG&A. Stock based compensation,
which is also excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted SG&A,
is estimated to be in the range of $12 million to $17 million.
- Capital Expenditures are estimated to be between $280
million to $320 million, primarily related to new shop
construction. This estimate includes approximately $10 million in
incremental spend related to our roasting facility, which we expect
to open in the middle of 2024, and $6 million to $10 million in
capital expenditures related to the Arizona office expansion.

We have not reconciled guidance for
Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted SG&A 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.

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 systemwide and company-operated
shop 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 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 as of the first day
of the reporting period. 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

Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop
sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated
shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods
presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops
and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise
sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising
fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of
franchise sales. 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
our system’s overall financial health, growth and future expansion
prospects.
5
Company-operated and franchise shops
operating weeks are calculated based on the number operating days
for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as
shops opened as of the end date of the periods presented. The
operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through
2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system’s
overall financial health, growth and future expansion
prospects.
6
Dutch Rewards is our digitally-based
rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards
app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer
loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional
plans.

Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results
is provided in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.
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.
Usefulness to management and
investors
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 our
industry by 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 tax expense, and depreciation and amortization
expense.
Adjusted EBITDA — definition and/or
calculation
Defined as EBITDA (as defined above), excluding equity-based
compensation, COVID-19: “Thank You” pay and catastrophic leave
expenses, COVID-19: prepaid costs not utilized, costs incurred for
company-wide milestone events, executives transitions costs, (gain)
loss on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRAs,
estimated expenses related to certain legal disputes, and
organization realignment and restructuring costs
Adjusted EBITDA in dollars (as defined), 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 these
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 selling, general, and administrative (in dollars and
as a percentage of revenue)
Definition and/or calculation
Selling, general, and administrative expenses, excluding
equity-based compensation expense, COVID-19: prepaid costs not
utilized, costs incurred for company-wide milestone events,
executives transitions, estimated expense related to certain legal
disputes, and organization realignment and restructuring costs.
Adjusted selling, general, and administrative in dollars (as
defined), taken as a percentage of total revenue.
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 the non-GAAP measure presented provides investors with a
supplemental view of our operating performance that facilitates
analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because
it excludes items that may not be indicative of our ongoing
operating performance.
Adjusted net income
Definition and/or calculation
Net income (loss), excluding equity-based compensation expense,
COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses,
executives transition costs, (gain) loss on the remeasurement of
the liability related to the TRAs, estimated expense related to
certain legal disputes, organization realignment and restructuring
costs, 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 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, COVID-19: “thank you” pay and catastrophic leave expenses,

estimated expense related to certain legal disputes, organization
realignment and restructuring costs, 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 this measure facilitates 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 Inc. and/or Profit Interest Units in Dutch Bros OpCo1 to
certain eligible 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. The catastrophic leave program was retired in May
2023.
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.
Executives transition
Employee severance and related benefit costs, as well as sign-on
bonus(es) for several executive level transitions occurring in 2022
and 2023.
TRAs remeasurements
(Gain) loss impacts on consolidated statements of operations
related to adjustments of our TRAs liabilities.
Legal proceedings
Estimated loss accrual related to certain legal disputes.
Organization realignment and
restructuring
Fees and costs, including consulting fees and costs, related to
a comprehensive initiative to develop and implement a long-term
strategy involving changes to our organizational structure to
support our growth, and the resulting realignment activities that
have occurred in 2023 and are expected to continue for at least the
next two years. Given this strategic initiative's magnitude and
scope, the Company does not expect such costs will recur in the
foreseeable future. The Company does not consider such costs
reflective of the ongoing costs necessary to operate its
business.
Dilutive effects of RSAs and
RSUs
Addition of incremental shares of RSAs and RSUs calculated under
the treasury stock method, when they are dilutive for the
calculation of weighted-average shares on a non-GAAP basis.
Assumed exchange of weighted-average Class
B and Class C shares of common stock
Weighted-average shares of Class B and Class 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.
