Bloomin’ Brands Announces 2026 Q1 Financial Results

Q1 Diluted EPS of $0.64 and Q1 Adjusted Diluted EPS of $0.67

TAMPA, Fla., May 6, 2026 - Bloomin’ Brands, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLMN) today reported results for the first quarter 2026 (“Q1 2026”) compared to the first quarter 2025 (“Q1 2025”).

CEO Comments

“We are pleased with our results in the first quarter as they reflect our focus on consistency of execution and delivering a great guest experience,” said Mike Spanos, CEO. “Outback brand scores continue to improve, highlighting our craveable steaks and food quality. We are making progress on our turnaround and remain committed to driving long-term, sustainable, and profitable growth for Bloomin’ Brands.”

Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS

The following table reconciles Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations to Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for the periods indicated (unaudited):

2026 2025 CHANGE

Diluted earnings per share: $ 0.64 $ 0.50 $ 0.14

Adjustments (1) 0.03 0.09 (0.06)

Adjusted diluted earnings per share (1) $ 0.67 $ 0.59 $ 0.08

___________________

(1)Adjustments for Q1 2026 and Q1 2025 primarily relate to costs in connection with transformational and restructuring initiatives. See non-GAAP Measures later in this release. Also see Tables Five and Six for further details regarding the nature of diluted earnings per share adjustments for the periods presented.

First Quarter Financial Results

(dollars in millions, unaudited) Q1 2026 Q1 2025 CHANGE

Total revenues $ 1,059.7 $ 1,049.6 1.0 %

GAAP operating income margin 5.6 % 5.5 % 0.1 %

Adjusted operating income margin (1) 5.9 % 6.1 % (0.2) %

Restaurant-level operating margin (1) 14.0 % 13.9 % 0.1 %

___________________

(1)See non-GAAP Measures later in this release. Also see Tables Four and Five for details regarding the nature of restaurant-level operating margin and operating income margin adjustments, respectively.

•The increase in Total revenues was primarily due to higher comparable restaurant sales.

•GAAP operating income margin increased from Q1 2025 primarily due to lower costs in connection with transformational and restructuring initiatives and an increase in restaurant-level operating margin, as detailed below, partially offset by higher impairment and closing costs.

•Restaurant-level operating margin increased from Q1 2025 primarily due to (i) higher average check per person, primarily due to pricing, (ii) cost-saving and productivity initiatives and (iii) lower advertising expense. These increases were partially offset by higher commodity, operating and labor costs, mainly due to inflation.

•Adjusted operating income margin primarily excludes severance and other costs incurred as a result of transformational and restructuring initiatives in Q1 2025 and accelerated depreciation in Q1 2026 associated with equipment upgrades in connection with the turnaround strategy.

About Bloomin’ Brands, Inc.

The Company’s restaurant portfolio includes Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. The Company owns, operates and franchises more than 1,450 restaurants in 46 states, Guam and 12 countries. For more information, please visit www.bloominbrands.com.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, this press release and related tables include certain non-GAAP measures, which present operating results on an adjusted basis. These are supplemental measures of performance that are not required by or presented in accordance with GAAP and include: (i) Restaurant-level operating income and the corresponding margin, (ii) Adjusted income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iii) Adjusted segment income from operations and the corresponding margin, (iv) Adjusted net income and (v) Adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Restaurant-level operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure widely regarded in the industry as a useful metric to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance of ongoing restaurant-level operations, and we use it for these purposes.

We believe that our use of non-GAAP financial measures permits investors to assess the operating performance of our business relative to our performance based on GAAP results and relative to other companies within the restaurant industry by isolating the effects of certain items that may vary from period to period without correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. However, our inclusion of these adjusted measures should not be construed as an indication that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or infrequent items or that the items for which we have made adjustments are unusual or infrequent or will not recur. We believe that the disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is useful to investors as they form part of the basis for how our management team and Board of Directors evaluate our operating performance, allocate resources and administer employee incentive plans.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace GAAP financial measures, and they are not necessarily standardized or comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We maintain internal guidelines with respect to the types of adjustments we include in our non-GAAP measures. These guidelines endeavor to differentiate between types of gains and expenses that are reflective of our core operations in a period, and those that may vary from period to period without correlation to our core performance in that period. However, implementation of these guidelines necessarily involves the application of judgment, and the treatment of any items not directly addressed by, or changes to, our guidelines will be considered by our disclosure committee. You should refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP measures in Tables Four, Five and Six included later in this release for descriptions of the actual adjustments made in the current period and the corresponding prior period.

_________________

(1)We have, and in the future may continue to have, negative working capital balances (as is common for many restaurant companies). We operate successfully with negative working capital because cash collected on restaurant sales is typically received before payment is due on our current liabilities, and our inventory turnover rates require relatively low investment in inventories. Additionally, ongoing cash flows from restaurant operations and gift card sales are typically used to service debt obligations and to make capital expenditures.

(b)Depreciation and amortization, which, although substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, represent historical sunk costs rather than cash outlays for the restaurants.

(c)General and administrative expense, which includes primarily non-restaurant-level costs associated with support of the restaurants and other activities at our corporate office.
