  • Restaurants: Updating Our Thoughts on M&A
    RBC Capital Markets, LLC Christopher Carril (Analyst) (617) 725-2109 [email protected] November 10, 2020 Restaurants: Updating Our Thoughts on M&A In light of the recently announced deal for DNKN to be acquired by Inspire Brands, in this note we take a look at recent trends in restaurant M&A, and what it means for the companies in our coverage. Is the DNKN deal a sign of things to come? Restaurants have been an active space for M&A—we EQUITY RESEARCH estimate that approximately 40% of the top 100 largest brands in the US have changed ownership over the last ten years—and we expect this trend to continue. Restaurants make attractive acquisition targets, particularly single brand, asset-light "all-franchised" companies able to generate significant free cash flow (e.g. DNKN w/near-100% FCF conversion). Additionally, this year's pandemic has also highlighted the resilience of fast food models, and especially those featuring significant drive-thru or delivery/carryout mix (conversely, over 80% of recent large chain bankruptcies are in the full service segment). However, the bargain hunting window has largely closed, with average valuations of single brand companies back to (or above) pre-COVID levels. But holding this aside, we expect the attractive qualities of restaurants to continue to draw the interest of potential acquirers, setting the stage for continued M&A activity. Thinking through the universe of potential acquirers: We expect private equity to remain active participants in restaurant M&A given the reasons cited above, and driven by substantial available dry powder.

It isn’t a word often used in businesses, but it is a word often used about businesses. Whether a customer loves your brand, loves your menu, loves your servers or loves your culture translates into whether your business will thrive. Love is a word businesses should get comfortable with. The annual Consumer Picks special report from Nation’s Restau- rant News and WD Partners is a measure of restaurant brand success from the eyes of their guests. Surveying customers to the tune of 37,339 ratings, Lincluding specific data points on 10 restaurant brand attributes like Cleanliness, Value, Service and Craveability, Consumer Picks ranks 173 chains on whether or not their guests are feeling the love. In this year’s report, starting on page 10, there is valuable analysis on top strat- egies to win over the customer, from the simplicity of cleaning the restaurant to the more complex undertaking of introducing an app to provide guests access to quick mobile payment options. Some winning brands relaunched menus and oth- ers redesigned restaurants. It is very clear through this report’s data and operator insights that to satisfy today’s demanding consumer, a holistic approach to your brand — who you are, what you stand for, the menu items you serve, the style in which you serve it and the atmosphere you provide to your guest — is required.

The undersigned brands represent a broad segment of the franchise sector, which employs roughly 8 million American workers at 733,000 locations. The franchise business model has led to success and upward mobility for both franchise owners and employees in more than 300 business lines and across demographic groups. Indeed, franchising is more diverse than non-franchise businesses: according to U.S. Census data, nearly 30 percent of franchise businesses are minority-owned, compared to 18 percent of non-franchised businesses. Our franchisees truly appreciate your leadership in Congress’s historic response to the COVID-19 crisis. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), in conjunction with increased support of our health care system, has enabled many franchise small businesses to remain operational and retain employees. However, the future for these same small businesses is anything but settled. Continuous operation at reduced capacity – and in many cases, extended business closures – has led to precipitous drops in revenue.

  • First U.S. Franchise Opens in Libya
    - 1 - August 7, 2012 First U.S. franchise opens in Libya By Kendal H. Tyre and Diana Vilmenay-Hammond After two years of planning and one false start, U.S.-based baked goods chain Cinnabon became the first U.S. franchise to open a store in Libya on July 2, 2012. The franchise will sell signature Cinnabon products alongside Carvel-brand ice cream and cakes. Focus Brands International owns the Cinnabon and the Carvel brands. The 7,500-square-foot bakery-cafe in downtown Tripoli is located in the city’s business district and was originally set to open in early 2011. A shipment of product was already on its way but the launch was scrapped when the Libyan civil war broke out which ousted former leader Muammar Gaddafi and sparked bloody protests. In addition to the traditional menu items, the Tripoli location will offer a wide variety of locally created sandwiches, salads, and other baked goods as well as cakes and pies that are imported from Italy. The company began considering an expansion into Libya two years ago when U.S. sanctions on the country were easing. The company had received numerous franchise inquiries from Libyans living overseas. Ultimately, the brothers Arief and Ahmed Swaidek opened the co-branded location as franchisees. They plan to open 10 more Cinnabon locations in Libya over the next five years, with another one coming later in 2012. They also plan to open more Carvel units and have also signed on to bring Moe’s Southwest Grill locations to Libya. According to the company, in the first week of its opening, the Tripoli Cinnabon store logged $45,000 USD in sales.

Franchise systems vary greatly, but most contain the following four el- ements: (1) the franchise is a legally independent member of the franchising system, although the franchise may be economically dependent on the franchisor; (2) the franchise business is operated with the advantage of the franchisor's name and standardization accruing to the franchisee; (3) the franchise system is developed for the express purpose of marketing the franchisor's products or services; and (4) a formal agreement exists that calls for a continuing, although not necessarily indeterminate, relationship between the franchisor and the franchisee.
