Capstone Headwaters Restaurants M&A Coverage Report Q1 2019 SPRING 2019 Q1 2019 Restaurants MERGER & ACQUISTION OVERVIEW More than one million restaurant locations exist in the US today and competition for customers is fierce. At the same time, operators are navigating a challenging shift in consumer preferences. As Baby Boomers retire and Millennials and Gen Xers show a preference for healthier, on trend food largely from independent and small chains, many of the national chains, particularly in the Casual Dining sector, have lost market share. Mobile ordering, meal kits, and grocery delivery services are also contributing to declining traffic across categories. Restaurant visits fell from 215 times a year in 2000 to 185 in 2018—a 28- year low, according to the NDP Group.1 In 2018 restaurant traffic declined by 3.2% from 2017, continuing a three year slide. Industry sales in 2018, however, rose by 3.2% with menu price increases largely making up the difference. While consumers are dining out less frequently, they have been willing to pay more when they do go out. Restaurant industry sales are projected to reach $863 billion in 2019, a year-over-year increase of approximately 4.6% from 2018, according to the National Restaurant Association, which also suggests that operators will continue to support growth through price increases.2 As restaurants compete for a share of the consumer wallet in this environment, many are seeking to create economies of scale to reduce costs and create operating efficiencies. Labor shortages, exacerbated by the historically tight job market, remain the biggest challenge for operators with approximately 35% of restaurants indicating they are having difficulties with filling positions. In 2018, 156 mergers and acquisitions (M&A) were announced or closed in the Restaurant industry—a 16.4% increase from the robust activity in 2017. Deal activity in Q1 2019 is below that of 2018, with 25 transactions announced or closed compared to 45 last year. Despite the dip, transaction volume remains healthy and closely mirrors that of Q1 2017. Strategic buyers continue to drive the majority of deal activity as they acquire to diversify concepts, enter new geographic regions, and create economics of scale. At the same time, private equity (PE) accounted for 25% of deal activity as they leverage opportunities to consolidate portfolios, gain entrée to high growth concepts, and buy underperforming systems that can be revitalized.

In 2018, more than 15 M&A transactions were completed by PE firms targeting growth-chain investment. Differentiated concepts with superior unit performance continue to be of interest to investors as they look to the future growth and opportunities within the industry. Fast Casual has been the bright spot of the Industry with annualized growth of approximately 7% between 2013 and 2017, according to the NPD Group.3 While growth in the category is slowing, four of the five fastest-growing restaurant chains in the US last year were Fast Casual, each reporting year-over-year growth between 30% and 80%. Characteristics of high-growth companies in this sector have often included integrated technology, online ordering, to-go services, and on trend food with menu items that are seasonal or personalized.

Has Acquired 3 | RESTAURANTS Q1 2019 CONSOLIDATION PLAYS The number of chain restaurants is projected to grow at an annualized rate of 2.0% over the five years according to IBISWorld.5 This expansion is expected to drive consolidation as companies seek to gain dominance in the fragmented market through acquisition of new technology, locations, and concepts. Labor pressure is also a driver of consolidation and restaurants have sought to improve profitability through shared services and management teams. Additionally, the favorably low interest rate environment has made acquisitions attractive because of the low cost of capital and prospects for higher investment returns. Since its inception in 2000, Roark Capital has spent billions consolidating restaurants into a formidable portfolio, frequently completing public-to-private transactions. Its franchise investments include Arby’s, Rusty Taco, Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s, Corner Bakery, Auntie Anne’s Pretzels, Carvel Ice Cream, Cinnabon, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Jim ‘N Nick’s BBQ, Jimmy John’s, and Wingstop. In 2018, Roark Capital-backed Focus Brands acquired Jamba Juice for $200 million. Roark also completed two take-private transactions through its holding company Inspire Brands (owner of Arby’s Restaurant Group).

  • STARBUCKS: from CROP to CUP APRIL 2015 the IMPACT of SOURCING INDUSTRIAL CONVENTIONAL MILK Updated January 2018
    COALITION POWERED BY GREEN AMERICA STARBUCKS: FROM CROP TO CUP APRIL 2015 THE IMPACT OF SOURCING INDUSTRIAL CONVENTIONAL MILK updated January 2018 A MILK COMPANY Starbucks is one of the world’s most popular and widespread coffeehouse brands. It has over 22,000 cafes in 66 countries.1 In Manhattan alone there are 9 Starbucks per square mile.2 Starbucks built its reputation on delivering specialty coffee, putting a lot of energy into telling the story of its coffee from field to café. But what the company fails to address is the fact that each year, it purchases over 140,000,000 gallons of milk— enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool 212 times.3 The fact is that Starbucks is a milk company as much or more than it is a coffee company. It is beyond time that it addresses the many negative impacts the industrial conventional dairy supply chain, from feed crop to cup, has on animal welfare and human and environmental health. If Starbucks’ goal, as stated on the company’s website, is to “share great coffee with [its] friends and help make the world a little better,” it is essential that the company transitions to organic milk.4 By setting the organic milk standard for coffee chains, Starbucks can demonstrate a serious commitment to providing environmentally and socially conscious products. Competitor com- panies like Pret A Manger are able to offer organic milk at a lower price than Starbucks charges for conventional dairy. It is our responsibility as consumers to vote with our dollars and use our voices to persuade the dairy industry to im- prove.
