Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG 5 December 2019 Equity Research Americas | United States Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. CMG Comping the Comp Target price (12M, US$) 930.00 Restaurants | Comment Outperform ■ Can Chipotle Comp the Comp? One of the most common questions we receive on Price (4 Dec 19, US$) 809.40 CMG is the brand’s ability to “comp the comp” as it laps difficult compares, with concerns 52-week price range 851.54 - 385.84 valuation will compress as SSS decelerate. We believe CMG is still in early innings, with a Market cap (US$ m) 22,497.44 strong runway for growth to return to prior peak AUVs of $2.5MM and opportunity to Enterprise value (US$ m) 22,128 exceed prior levels as the brand increasingly leverages its second make-lines, now comprising ~18.5% of sales. Confidence in ongoing strength includes contributions from: Research Analysts 1) digital & delivery; 2) loyalty program; 3) new menu innovation; 4) marketing strategy; and 5) operations. More consistent price increases (~2%) and enhanced data analytic Lauren Silberman capabilities should also contribute to SSS. CMG has exceeded initial 2019 SSS 212 325 2720 expectations, sequentially accelerating traffic and SSS on tougher compares, and we [email protected] expect momentum to continue in 4Q & 2020 as the brand unlocks digital growth by leveraging its loyalty program, launches new menu innovation and enhances marketing & operations to generate increased engagement and a better customer experience. ■ Chipotle 2.0: CMG is well positioned to capitalize on the digital shift given its younger consumer base, transportable food and optimized operations, with digital customers now contributing 80%+ to SSS. ~7MM customers have joined Chipotle’s loyalty program since March, and assuming it grows to 12MM by 2020, we estimate one incremental visit per loyalty customer would generate ~2.5% in SSS, supported by commentary indicating personalization has driven incremental visits across frequency bands in test. Loyalty should also unlock greater digital adoption, with digital-forward peers at strong levels (Panera ~35%; Sweetgreen 50%+) and select CMG stores already reaching a ~30% digital mix. ■ Queso for Innovation: CMG has been prudent in its approach to menu innovation, though such likely lends itself well to heightened initial trial. In mid-Sept, the brand launched Carne Asada, accelerating SSS trends (likely low double digits), with expectations to remain in stores through 1Q. Queso Blanco appears to be the farthest along, in test ~4-5 months, and we estimate it could contribute ~50-100bps to SSS once launched. We see significant upside with quesadillas (also in test), one of the most requested items, with our estimates suggesting SSS contribution of ~4.5-9% on reasonably conservative assumptions. ■ Valuation: Our $930 TP is based on 23.5x NTM EBITDA & 42x NTM EPS in 12 months.

Beyond a return to prior peak levels, we are optimistic in ongoing momentum driven by Chipotle’s comprehensive sales plan and omni-channel strategy, with multiple initiatives still in early innings or in test. Key opportunities for SSS contribution include: 1) digital & delivery initiatives; 2) loyalty program; 3) new menu innovation; 4) marketing & social media strategy; and 5) operations. We expect more consistent price increases of ~2% (Chipotle recently implemented ~2%), enhanced analytical capabilities and potential benefits from catering growth to also contribute to SSS. Digital & Delivery – digital & delivery represent ~17-17.5% of sales currently and have driven the majority of SSS growth and acceleration over the last several quarters.
