Die Quartalszahlen sind besser ausgefallen als erwartet, deshalb ging es deutlich nach oben. Die Expansion geht ebenfalls weiter. In Deutschland sind mir diese Konzepte nur aus Laser-Tag oder sonstigen Funarenen bekannt. Allerdings fehlt bei uns der Bewirtungsansatz.

Reaffirms Fiscal 2018 Guidance on Revenue, Net Income and EBITDA
DALLAS, June 11, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc., (NASDAQ:PLAY), ("Dave & Buster's" or "the Company"), an owner and operator of entertainment and dining venues, today announced financial results for its first quarter 2018, which ended on May 6, 2018. The Company also affirmed its financial outlook on several key metrics for fiscal 2018.

Key highlights from the first quarter 2018 compared to the first quarter 2017 include:

Total revenues increased 9.2% to $332.2 million from $304.1 million, or 9.7% on a comparable week basis*.
Opened six new stores compared to four new stores.
Comparable store sales decreased 4.9%.
Net income of $42.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, vs. net income of $42.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share.
EBITDA decreased 2.3% to $86.1 million from $88.2 million while Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.4% to $95.9 million from $95.6 million.
Excluding the 2017 use tax settlement** in Q1 2017, and on a comparable week basis, EBITDA increased 1.8%, while Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.0%.
Pre-opening costs increased $2.6 million to $7.1 million from $4.5 million.
*Comparable week basis: Fiscal 2017 was a 53-week year, resulting in a one-week calendar shift in fiscal year 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, this calendar shift had an unfavorable impact on total revenue of $1.4 million, EBITDA of $1.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $0.9 million due to seasonality (one less high-volume “winter week” this year versus last year).

**2017 use tax settlement: Q1 2017 results included $2.5 million of amusement cost reductions ($1.6 million net of taxes or $0.04 per diluted share) resulting from the favorable settlement of a multi-year use tax audit in Texas.

“We continue to be pleased with our new store performance and are confident in our unit growth guidance for the year. We opened six stores during the quarter, our fastest pace so far, and these openings include a few that have delivered some of the highest volume openings in our history. The 2017 class of stores is also performing well for us, on track to achieve strong first year returns in line with our recent classes of stores. At the same time, evolving the brand and improving comparable store performance is a priority for us. The upcoming launch of our proprietary virtual reality platform, and the new 100% Angus Butcher’s Blend burger are just two examples of improvements in our overall offering,” said Steve King, Chief Executive Officer.

“We delivered near double-digit revenue growth, and drove EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA growth of approximately 2% and 4% respectively on a comparable week basis, excluding the 2017 use tax settlement. While comparable store sales declined in the first quarter this year, I’m confident that our operating team’s continued focus on execution will drive improved results over time,” said Brian Jenkins, Chief Financial Officer.

Share Repurchase Activity

During the first quarter of 2018, we repurchased approximately 606,000 shares for $27.4 million, with an additional 247,000 shares for $10.1 million through June 6, 2018 during the second quarter. As of the same date, cumulatively, we had repurchased 4.1 million shares for $218.2 million under our $300 million share repurchase authorization.

Review of First Quarter 2018 Operating Results

Total revenues increased 9.2% to $332.2 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $304.1 million in the first quarter of 2017, or 9.7% on a comparable week basis. Across all stores, Food and Beverage revenues increased 7.7% to $139.8 million from $129.8 million and Amusement and Other revenues increased 10.4% to $192.4 million from $174.3 million. Food and Beverage represented 42.1% of total revenues while Amusements and Other represented 57.9% of total revenues in the first quarter 2018. In last year’s first quarter, Food & Beverage represented 42.7% of total revenues while Amusements and Other represented 57.3% of total revenues.

Comparable store sales decreased 4.9% in the first quarter 2018 compared to a 2.2% increase in the first quarter of 2017 on a comparable week basis. Our comparable store sales decrease was driven by a 4.8% decrease in walk-in sales and a 6.4% decrease in special events sales. Comparable store sales in Amusements & Other decreased 4.0% and in Food & Beverage decreased 6.1%. Non-comparable store revenues increased $44.2 million or 146.1% in the first quarter of 2018 to $74.5 million, also on a comparable week basis.

Operating income decreased to $58.6 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $64.2 million in last year's first quarter. As a percentage of total revenues, operating income decreased 350 basis points to 17.6% from 21.1%.

Net income was $42.2 million, or $1.04 per diluted share (40.6 million diluted share base), in the first quarter of 2018 compared to net income of $42.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share (43.5 million diluted share base), in the first quarter of 2017.

EBITDA decreased 2.3% to $86.1 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $88.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 while Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.4% to $95.9 million from $95.6 million. As a percentage of total revenues, EBITDA decreased 310 basis points to 25.9% from 29.0%, and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 250 basis points to 28.9% from 31.4%.

Excluding the 2017 use tax settlement, and on a comparable week basis, EBITDA increased 1.8% (210 basis points decrease as a percentage of total revenue), while Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.0% (150 basis points decrease as a percentage of total revenue) compared to the first quarter of 2017.

Store operating income before depreciation and amortization increased 1.1% to $108.8 million in the first quarter of 2018 from $107.6 million in the first quarter of 2017. As a percentage of total revenues, Store operating income before depreciation and amortization decreased 260 basis points to 32.8% from 35.4%.

Development

In fiscal 2018, we are on track to open 14 to 15 new stores, representing 13% to 14% unit growth. At the top end of the range, these store openings include 11 large, two small and two 17K format stores, and will skew towards new markets for our brand. We currently have five stores under construction.

We opened six stores during the first quarter in Rogers, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Wayne, New Jersey; Anchorage, Alaska (a new state for us); Madison, Wisconsin; and Rosemont, Illinois. During the second quarter, we have already opened three new stores in Salt Lake City, Utah (a new state for us); Massapequa, New York; and Torrance, California. We plan to open two more stores during the quarter in Northridge, California; and Staten Island, New York.

Financial Outlook

We are reaffirming our financial outlook on several key metrics for fiscal 2018, which ends on February 3, 2019:

Total revenues of $1.20 billion to $1.24 billion
Comparable store sales decrease in the low-to-mid single digits (on a comparable 52-week basis)

EBITDA of $255 million to $275 million
