Reports Results for the Fiscal Third Quarter Ended October 2, 2022 By: Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. via Business Wire November 02, 2022 at 16:05 PM EDT Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Inc. (NASDAQ: RRGB) ("Red Robin" or the "Company"), a full-service restaurant chain serving an innovative selection of high-quality gourmet burgers in a family-friendly atmosphere, today reported financial results for the fiscal third quarter ended October 2, 2022. Results for the third quarter, as compared to the prior year as applicable, included the following: Restaurant revenue of $282.4 million increased 4.5% compared to 2021; Tenth consecutive quarter of sustained off-premises sales dollars of more than double pre-pandemic levels; Red Robin Royalty® membership now exceeding 11 million, an increase of 0.4 million; Comparable restaurant revenue increased 5.3% and 5.9% compared to 2021 and 2019, respectively; Continued acceleration of comparable restaurant revenue outperformance at restaurants with Donatos®, now offered at over half of our Company locations, with comparable restaurant revenue growth compared to 2019 of 9.8% versus comparable restaurant revenue growth compared to 2019 for restaurants without Donatos® of (0.3)%; Net loss of 12.6 million decreased $2.4 million compared to 2021; Restaurant level operating profit margin increased by 10 basis points driven primarily by sales leverage, partially offset by commodity and wage rate inflation; and Adjusted EBITDA(1) (a non-GAAP metric) of $4.0 million decreased $4.3 million compared to 2021. G.J. Hart, Red Robin’s President and Chief Executive Officer, “While operating costs were higher than expected, we once again outpaced the category in comparable restaurant sales and traffic as measured by Black Box Intelligence, and net value sentiment on social media channels. Our topline outperformance was driven by our barbell strategy, anchored by our popular Steakhouse Summer limited time product offers. Stabilized staffing and lower turnover have resulted in improved guest satisfaction scores. Finally, our targeted digital marketing is driving profitable traffic and we hit a new high mark for engagement among our more than 11 million Red Robin Royalty® members.” Hart concluded, “Since starting as CEO eight weeks ago, my excitement about the exceptional potential of Red Robin has only grown. While steady progress has been made in a difficult environment, my immediate focus is on accelerating the delivery of an extraordinary Red Robin restaurant experience, fulfilling our brand promise. We are moving with purpose to improve key aspects of the restaurant experience and being more relevant to our guests. Priorities include strengthening the restaurant management structure and service model, improving food quality to ensure we serve the very best gourmet burgers and American favorites, and elevating our dine-in atmosphere, creating a fun and playful environment where guests can connect with friends and family. Finally, we are committed to prudent cost management and capital allocation that includes refreshing our restaurants which will provide long-term shareholder value.” Third Quarter 2022 Financial Summary Compared to 2021 The following table presents financial results for the fiscal third quarter of 2022, compared to results from the same period in 2021: Twelve Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Total revenues (millions) $ 286.9 $ 275.4 Restaurant revenues (millions) 282.4 270.2 Net loss (millions) (12.6 ) (15.0 ) Restaurant Level Operating Profit (millions)(2) $ 35.6 $ 33.8 Restaurant Level Operating Profit Margin(2) 12.6 % 12.5 % Adjusted EBITDA (millions)(1) $ 4.0 $ 8.3 Loss per diluted share ($ per share) $ (0.79 ) $ (0.95 ) Adjusted loss per diluted share ($ per share)(2) $ (1.03 ) $ (0.88 ) (1) See schedule III for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to Net loss. (2) See schedule I for a reconciliation of Adjusted loss per diluted share, a non GAAP measure, to Loss per diluted share, and schedule II for a reconciliation of Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin, non GAAP measures, to Loss from operations. Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results Comparable restaurant revenue(3) increased 5.3% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by a 9.0% increase in average Guest check and a 3.7% decrease in Guest count. The increase in average Guest check resulted from a 2.5% increase in menu mix, primarily driven by our limited time menu offerings and higher dine-in sales volumes, a 7.7% increase in pricing, and a 1.2% decrease from higher discounts. Net loss improved compared to 2021 primarily due to a $9.2 million gain on the sale of a restaurant property and a $12.2 million increase in restaurant revenue, partially offset by higher commodity and wage rate inflation, higher marketing and interest expenses, and leadership conference costs. Adjusted EBITDA(1) declined due to higher commodity and wage inflation, higher marketing expenses, and leadership conference costs, partially offset by higher restaurant revenue. (3) Comparable restaurant revenue represents revenue from Company owned restaurants that have operated five full quarters as of the end of the period presented. Outlook for 2022 and Guidance Policy The Company provides guidance of select information related to the Company’s financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. Due to higher commodity and operating costs, and strategic investments, the Company is updating its guidance as follows: Pricing in the mid-single digits; Mid-double digit commodity cost inflation; Mid-to-high single digit restaurant labor cost inflation; Selling, general and administrative costs of $138 to $142 million; Capital expenditures of $43 to $48 million; and Adjusted EBITDA of $53 to $58 million(4). (4) The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please refer to the historical period Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included on Schedule III of this release.

Management believes this supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein. Income tax effect of reconciling items was calculated based on the change in the total tax provision calculation after adjusting for the identified item. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.

The impact during the forty weeks ended October 2, 2022 comprises $5.9 million included in Franchise royalties, fees, and other revenue partially offset by $0.6 million in gift card commission costs included in Selling on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. (2) Write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to our legacy credit agreement with the completion of the refinancing of our Credit Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. (3) Other financing costs includes legal and other charges related to the refinancing of our Credit Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Schedule II Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Restaurant revenues, Loss from Operations and Net Loss (In thousands, unaudited) The Company believes restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant impairment and closure costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs that include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general, and administrative costs, and therefore excludes costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company's investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to loss from operations or net loss as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the Company's industry. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 2, 2022, and October 3, 2021 expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit that are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue. Twelve Weeks Ended Forty Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Restaurant revenue $282,449 98.5% $270,202 98.1% $951,718 97.5% $861,036 98.0% Restaurant operating costs(1): Cost of sales 70,640 25.0 62,671 23.2 234,283 24.6 193,754 22.5 Labor 100,522 35.6 99,725 36.9 340,273 35.8 310,333 36.0 Other operating 52,858 18.7 51,462 19.0 172,725 18.1 156,102 18.1 Occupancy 22,828 8.1 22,519 8.3 76,406 8.0 74,233 8.6 Restaurant-level operating profit 35,601 12.6% 33,825 12.5% 128,031 13.5% 126,614 14.7% Add – Franchise and other revenues 4,439 1.5% 5,242 1.9% 24,810 2.5% 17,658 2.0% Deduct – other operating: Depreciation and amortization 17,368 6.1 18,881 6.9 58,924 6.0 63,984 7.3 General and administrative expenses 21,498 7.5 17,691 6.4 64,665 6.6 57,664 6.6 Selling 14,194 4.9 12,652 4.6 37,503 3.8 31,635 3.6 Pre-opening costs 217 0.1 418 0.2 514 0.1 792 0.1 Other charges (gains), net (5,217) (1.8) 1,561 0.6 8,236 0.8 9,228 1.1 Total other operating 48,060 16.8% 51,203 18.6% 169,842 17.4% 163,303 18.6% Loss from operations (8,020) (2.8)% (12,136) (4.4)% (17,001) (1.7)% (19,031) (2.2)% Interest expense, net and other 4,590 1.6 2,870 1.0 16,151 1.7 9,986 1.1 Income tax provision (benefit) (43) — (26) — 453 — (328) — Total other 4,547 1.6 2,844 1.0 16,604 1.7 9,658 1.1 Net loss $(12,567) (4.4)% $(14,980) (5.4)% $(33,605) (3.4)% $(28,689) (3.3)% (1) Excluding depreciation and amortization, which is shown separately. Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that components of restaurant-level operating profit are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue and not total revenues. Schedule III Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (In thousands, unaudited) The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because the Company believes investors' understanding of its performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating its ongoing results of operations excluding the effects of material change in estimate, asset impairment, litigation contingencies, board and stockholder matters costs, restaurant closure and refranchising costs, other financing costs, COVID-19 related costs and executive transition costs. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and the Company's calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in its industry or otherwise. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect the additions and eliminations shown in the table below. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to the Company's performance based on its GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and the Company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Twelve Weeks Ended Forty Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Net loss as reported $ (12,567 ) $ (14,980 ) $ (33,605 ) $ (28,689 ) Interest expense, net 4,419 2,846 15,137 10,435 Income tax provision (benefit) (43 ) (26 ) 453 (328 ) Depreciation and amortization 17,368 18,881 58,924 63,984 EBITDA 9,177 6,721 40,909 45,402 Asset impairment 2,187 — 13,048 1,357 Gain on sale of restaurant property (9,204 ) — (9,204 ) — Change in accounting estimate, gift card breakage(1) — — (5,246 ) — Executive transition 1,825 — 1,954 — Other financing costs(2) 1,022 — 1,392 — COVID-19 related charges 123 299 423 1,112 Restaurant closure costs (gains) (1,570 ) 1,102 309 5,301 Closed corporate office, net of sublease income 267 — 267 — Litigation contingencies 133 160 47 1,330 Board and stockholder matter costs — — — 128 Adjusted EBITDA $ 3,960 $ 8,282 $ 43,899 $ 54,630 (1) Change in estimate, gift card gift card breakage revenue, net of commission relates to the Company's re-evaluation of its estimated redemption pattern.

Results for the third quarter, as compared to the prior year as applicable, included the following: Restaurant revenue of $282.4 million increased 4.5% compared to 2021; Tenth consecutive quarter of sustained off-premises sales dollars of more than double pre-pandemic levels; Red Robin Royalty® membership now exceeding 11 million, an increase of 0.4 million; Comparable restaurant revenue increased 5.3% and 5.9% compared to 2021 and 2019, respectively; Continued acceleration of comparable restaurant revenue outperformance at restaurants with Donatos®, now offered at over half of our Company locations, with comparable restaurant revenue growth compared to 2019 of 9.8% versus comparable restaurant revenue growth compared to 2019 for restaurants without Donatos® of (0.3)%; Net loss of 12.6 million decreased $2.4 million compared to 2021; Restaurant level operating profit margin increased by 10 basis points driven primarily by sales leverage, partially offset by commodity and wage rate inflation; and Adjusted EBITDA(1) (a non-GAAP metric) of $4.0 million decreased $4.3 million compared to 2021. G.J. Hart, Red Robin’s President and Chief Executive Officer, “While operating costs were higher than expected, we once again outpaced the category in comparable restaurant sales and traffic as measured by Black Box Intelligence, and net value sentiment on social media channels. Our topline outperformance was driven by our barbell strategy, anchored by our popular Steakhouse Summer limited time product offers. Stabilized staffing and lower turnover have resulted in improved guest satisfaction scores. Finally, our targeted digital marketing is driving profitable traffic and we hit a new high mark for engagement among our more than 11 million Red Robin Royalty® members.” Hart concluded, “Since starting as CEO eight weeks ago, my excitement about the exceptional potential of Red Robin has only grown. While steady progress has been made in a difficult environment, my immediate focus is on accelerating the delivery of an extraordinary Red Robin restaurant experience, fulfilling our brand promise. We are moving with purpose to improve key aspects of the restaurant experience and being more relevant to our guests. Priorities include strengthening the restaurant management structure and service model, improving food quality to ensure we serve the very best gourmet burgers and American favorites, and elevating our dine-in atmosphere, creating a fun and playful environment where guests can connect with friends and family. Finally, we are committed to prudent cost management and capital allocation that includes refreshing our restaurants which will provide long-term shareholder value.” Third Quarter 2022 Financial Summary Compared to 2021 The following table presents financial results for the fiscal third quarter of 2022, compared to results from the same period in 2021: Twelve Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Total revenues (millions) $ 286.9 $ 275.4 Restaurant revenues (millions) 282.4 270.2 Net loss (millions) (12.6 ) (15.0 ) Restaurant Level Operating Profit (millions)(2) $ 35.6 $ 33.8 Restaurant Level Operating Profit Margin(2) 12.6 % 12.5 % Adjusted EBITDA (millions)(1) $ 4.0 $ 8.3 Loss per diluted share ($ per share) $ (0.79 ) $ (0.95 ) Adjusted loss per diluted share ($ per share)(2) $ (1.03 ) $ (0.88 ) (1) See schedule III for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to Net loss. (2) See schedule I for a reconciliation of Adjusted loss per diluted share, a non GAAP measure, to Loss per diluted share, and schedule II for a reconciliation of Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin, non GAAP measures, to Loss from operations. Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results Comparable restaurant revenue(3) increased 5.3% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by a 9.0% increase in average Guest check and a 3.7% decrease in Guest count. The increase in average Guest check resulted from a 2.5% increase in menu mix, primarily driven by our limited time menu offerings and higher dine-in sales volumes, a 7.7% increase in pricing, and a 1.2% decrease from higher discounts. Net loss improved compared to 2021 primarily due to a $9.2 million gain on the sale of a restaurant property and a $12.2 million increase in restaurant revenue, partially offset by higher commodity and wage rate inflation, higher marketing and interest expenses, and leadership conference costs. Adjusted EBITDA(1) declined due to higher commodity and wage inflation, higher marketing expenses, and leadership conference costs, partially offset by higher restaurant revenue. (3) Comparable restaurant revenue represents revenue from Company owned restaurants that have operated five full quarters as of the end of the period presented. Outlook for 2022 and Guidance Policy The Company provides guidance of select information related to the Company’s financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. Due to higher commodity and operating costs, and strategic investments, the Company is updating its guidance as follows: Pricing in the mid-single digits; Mid-double digit commodity cost inflation; Mid-to-high single digit restaurant labor cost inflation; Selling, general and administrative costs of $138 to $142 million; Capital expenditures of $43 to $48 million; and Adjusted EBITDA of $53 to $58 million(4). (4) The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please refer to the historical period Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included on Schedule III of this release.

The Company believes the presentation of net loss and loss per share exclusive of the identified items gives the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company. Management believes this supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein. Income tax effect of reconciling items was calculated based on the change in the total tax provision calculation after adjusting for the identified item. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.

The impact during the forty weeks ended October 2, 2022 comprises $5.9 million included in Franchise royalties, fees, and other revenue partially offset by $0.6 million in gift card commission costs included in Selling on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. (2) Write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to our legacy credit agreement with the completion of the refinancing of our Credit Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. (3) Other financing costs includes legal and other charges related to the refinancing of our Credit Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Schedule II Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Restaurant revenues, Loss from Operations and Net Loss (In thousands, unaudited) The Company believes restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant impairment and closure costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs that include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general, and administrative costs, and therefore excludes costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company's investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to loss from operations or net loss as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the Company's industry. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 2, 2022, and October 3, 2021 expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit that are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue. Twelve Weeks Ended Forty Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Restaurant revenue $282,449 98.5% $270,202 98.1% $951,718 97.5% $861,036 98.0% Restaurant operating costs(1): Cost of sales 70,640 25.0 62,671 23.2 234,283 24.6 193,754 22.5 Labor 100,522 35.6 99,725 36.9 340,273 35.8 310,333 36.0 Other operating 52,858 18.7 51,462 19.0 172,725 18.1 156,102 18.1 Occupancy 22,828 8.1 22,519 8.3 76,406 8.0 74,233 8.6 Restaurant-level operating profit 35,601 12.6% 33,825 12.5% 128,031 13.5% 126,614 14.7% Add – Franchise and other revenues 4,439 1.5% 5,242 1.9% 24,810 2.5% 17,658 2.0% Deduct – other operating: Depreciation and amortization 17,368 6.1 18,881 6.9 58,924 6.0 63,984 7.3 General and administrative expenses 21,498 7.5 17,691 6.4 64,665 6.6 57,664 6.6 Selling 14,194 4.9 12,652 4.6 37,503 3.8 31,635 3.6 Pre-opening costs 217 0.1 418 0.2 514 0.1 792 0.1 Other charges (gains), net (5,217) (1.8) 1,561 0.6 8,236 0.8 9,228 1.1 Total other operating 48,060 16.8% 51,203 18.6% 169,842 17.4% 163,303 18.6% Loss from operations (8,020) (2.8)% (12,136) (4.4)% (17,001) (1.7)% (19,031) (2.2)% Interest expense, net and other 4,590 1.6 2,870 1.0 16,151 1.7 9,986 1.1 Income tax provision (benefit) (43) — (26) — 453 — (328) — Total other 4,547 1.6 2,844 1.0 16,604 1.7 9,658 1.1 Net loss $(12,567) (4.4)% $(14,980) (5.4)% $(33,605) (3.4)% $(28,689) (3.3)% (1) Excluding depreciation and amortization, which is shown separately. Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that components of restaurant-level operating profit are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue and not total revenues. Schedule III Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (In thousands, unaudited) The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because the Company believes investors' understanding of its performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating its ongoing results of operations excluding the effects of material change in estimate, asset impairment, litigation contingencies, board and stockholder matters costs, restaurant closure and refranchising costs, other financing costs, COVID-19 related costs and executive transition costs. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and the Company's calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in its industry or otherwise. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect the additions and eliminations shown in the table below. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to the Company's performance based on its GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and the Company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Twelve Weeks Ended Forty Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Net loss as reported $ (12,567 ) $ (14,980 ) $ (33,605 ) $ (28,689 ) Interest expense, net 4,419 2,846 15,137 10,435 Income tax provision (benefit) (43 ) (26 ) 453 (328 ) Depreciation and amortization 17,368 18,881 58,924 63,984 EBITDA 9,177 6,721 40,909 45,402 Asset impairment 2,187 — 13,048 1,357 Gain on sale of restaurant property (9,204 ) — (9,204 ) — Change in accounting estimate, gift card breakage(1) — — (5,246 ) — Executive transition 1,825 — 1,954 — Other financing costs(2) 1,022 — 1,392 — COVID-19 related charges 123 299 423 1,112 Restaurant closure costs (gains) (1,570 ) 1,102 309 5,301 Closed corporate office, net of sublease income 267 — 267 — Litigation contingencies 133 160 47 1,330 Board and stockholder matter costs — — — 128 Adjusted EBITDA $ 3,960 $ 8,282 $ 43,899 $ 54,630 (1) Change in estimate, gift card gift card breakage revenue, net of commission relates to the Company's re-evaluation of its estimated redemption pattern.

Results for the third quarter, as compared to the prior year as applicable, included the following: Restaurant revenue of $282.4 million increased 4.5% compared to 2021; Tenth consecutive quarter of sustained off-premises sales dollars of more than double pre-pandemic levels; Red Robin Royalty® membership now exceeding 11 million, an increase of 0.4 million; Comparable restaurant revenue increased 5.3% and 5.9% compared to 2021 and 2019, respectively; Continued acceleration of comparable restaurant revenue outperformance at restaurants with Donatos®, now offered at over half of our Company locations, with comparable restaurant revenue growth compared to 2019 of 9.8% versus comparable restaurant revenue growth compared to 2019 for restaurants without Donatos® of (0.3)%; Net loss of 12.6 million decreased $2.4 million compared to 2021; Restaurant level operating profit margin increased by 10 basis points driven primarily by sales leverage, partially offset by commodity and wage rate inflation; and Adjusted EBITDA(1) (a non-GAAP metric) of $4.0 million decreased $4.3 million compared to 2021. G.J. Hart, Red Robin’s President and Chief Executive Officer, “While operating costs were higher than expected, we once again outpaced the category in comparable restaurant sales and traffic as measured by Black Box Intelligence, and net value sentiment on social media channels. Our topline outperformance was driven by our barbell strategy, anchored by our popular Steakhouse Summer limited time product offers. Stabilized staffing and lower turnover have resulted in improved guest satisfaction scores. Finally, our targeted digital marketing is driving profitable traffic and we hit a new high mark for engagement among our more than 11 million Red Robin Royalty® members.” Hart concluded, “Since starting as CEO eight weeks ago, my excitement about the exceptional potential of Red Robin has only grown. While steady progress has been made in a difficult environment, my immediate focus is on accelerating the delivery of an extraordinary Red Robin restaurant experience, fulfilling our brand promise. We are moving with purpose to improve key aspects of the restaurant experience and being more relevant to our guests. Priorities include strengthening the restaurant management structure and service model, improving food quality to ensure we serve the very best gourmet burgers and American favorites, and elevating our dine-in atmosphere, creating a fun and playful environment where guests can connect with friends and family. Finally, we are committed to prudent cost management and capital allocation that includes refreshing our restaurants which will provide long-term shareholder value.” Third Quarter 2022 Financial Summary Compared to 2021 The following table presents financial results for the fiscal third quarter of 2022, compared to results from the same period in 2021: Twelve Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Total revenues (millions) $ 286.9 $ 275.4 Restaurant revenues (millions) 282.4 270.2 Net loss (millions) (12.6 ) (15.0 ) Restaurant Level Operating Profit (millions)(2) $ 35.6 $ 33.8 Restaurant Level Operating Profit Margin(2) 12.6 % 12.5 % Adjusted EBITDA (millions)(1) $ 4.0 $ 8.3 Loss per diluted share ($ per share) $ (0.79 ) $ (0.95 ) Adjusted loss per diluted share ($ per share)(2) $ (1.03 ) $ (0.88 ) (1) See schedule III for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to Net loss. (2) See schedule I for a reconciliation of Adjusted loss per diluted share, a non GAAP measure, to Loss per diluted share, and schedule II for a reconciliation of Restaurant level operating profit and Restaurant level operating profit margin, non GAAP measures, to Loss from operations. Third Quarter 2022 Operating Results Comparable restaurant revenue(3) increased 5.3% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year ago, driven by a 9.0% increase in average Guest check and a 3.7% decrease in Guest count. The increase in average Guest check resulted from a 2.5% increase in menu mix, primarily driven by our limited time menu offerings and higher dine-in sales volumes, a 7.7% increase in pricing, and a 1.2% decrease from higher discounts. Net loss improved compared to 2021 primarily due to a $9.2 million gain on the sale of a restaurant property and a $12.2 million increase in restaurant revenue, partially offset by higher commodity and wage rate inflation, higher marketing and interest expenses, and leadership conference costs. Adjusted EBITDA(1) declined due to higher commodity and wage inflation, higher marketing expenses, and leadership conference costs, partially offset by higher restaurant revenue. (3) Comparable restaurant revenue represents revenue from Company owned restaurants that have operated five full quarters as of the end of the period presented. Outlook for 2022 and Guidance Policy The Company provides guidance of select information related to the Company’s financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. Due to higher commodity and operating costs, and strategic investments, the Company is updating its guidance as follows: Pricing in the mid-single digits; Mid-double digit commodity cost inflation; Mid-to-high single digit restaurant labor cost inflation; Selling, general and administrative costs of $138 to $142 million; Capital expenditures of $43 to $48 million; and Adjusted EBITDA of $53 to $58 million(4). (4) The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Please refer to the historical period Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA included on Schedule III of this release.

The Company believes the presentation of net loss and loss per share exclusive of the identified items gives the reader additional insight into the ongoing operational results of the Company. Management believes this supplemental information will assist with comparisons of past and future financial results against the present financial results presented herein. Income tax effect of reconciling items was calculated based on the change in the total tax provision calculation after adjusting for the identified item. The non-GAAP measurements are intended to supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results in accordance with GAAP.

The impact during the forty weeks ended October 2, 2022 comprises $5.9 million included in Franchise royalties, fees, and other revenue partially offset by $0.6 million in gift card commission costs included in Selling on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. (2) Write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the remaining unamortized debt issuance costs related to our legacy credit agreement with the completion of the refinancing of our Credit Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. (3) Other financing costs includes legal and other charges related to the refinancing of our Credit Agreement in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Schedule II Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Restaurant-Level Operating Profit to Restaurant revenues, Loss from Operations and Net Loss (In thousands, unaudited) The Company believes restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenue minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant impairment and closure costs. The measure includes restaurant-level occupancy costs that include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance, and other property costs, but excludes depreciation related to restaurant equipment, buildings, and leasehold improvements. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant-level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general, and administrative costs, and therefore excludes costs associated with selling, general, and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company's investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to loss from operations or net loss as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the Company's industry. The table below sets forth certain unaudited information for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 2, 2022, and October 3, 2021 expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant-level operating profit that are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue. Twelve Weeks Ended Forty Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Restaurant revenue $282,449 98.5% $270,202 98.1% $951,718 97.5% $861,036 98.0% Restaurant operating costs(1): Cost of sales 70,640 25.0 62,671 23.2 234,283 24.6 193,754 22.5 Labor 100,522 35.6 99,725 36.9 340,273 35.8 310,333 36.0 Other operating 52,858 18.7 51,462 19.0 172,725 18.1 156,102 18.1 Occupancy 22,828 8.1 22,519 8.3 76,406 8.0 74,233 8.6 Restaurant-level operating profit 35,601 12.6% 33,825 12.5% 128,031 13.5% 126,614 14.7% Add – Franchise and other revenues 4,439 1.5% 5,242 1.9% 24,810 2.5% 17,658 2.0% Deduct – other operating: Depreciation and amortization 17,368 6.1 18,881 6.9 58,924 6.0 63,984 7.3 General and administrative expenses 21,498 7.5 17,691 6.4 64,665 6.6 57,664 6.6 Selling 14,194 4.9 12,652 4.6 37,503 3.8 31,635 3.6 Pre-opening costs 217 0.1 418 0.2 514 0.1 792 0.1 Other charges (gains), net (5,217) (1.8) 1,561 0.6 8,236 0.8 9,228 1.1 Total other operating 48,060 16.8% 51,203 18.6% 169,842 17.4% 163,303 18.6% Loss from operations (8,020) (2.8)% (12,136) (4.4)% (17,001) (1.7)% (19,031) (2.2)% Interest expense, net and other 4,590 1.6 2,870 1.0 16,151 1.7 9,986 1.1 Income tax provision (benefit) (43) — (26) — 453 — (328) — Total other 4,547 1.6 2,844 1.0 16,604 1.7 9,658 1.1 Net loss $(12,567) (4.4)% $(14,980) (5.4)% $(33,605) (3.4)% $(28,689) (3.3)% (1) Excluding depreciation and amortization, which is shown separately. Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that components of restaurant-level operating profit are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenue and not total revenues. Schedule III Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (In thousands, unaudited) The Company defines EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are presented because the Company believes investors' understanding of its performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for evaluating its ongoing results of operations excluding the effects of material change in estimate, asset impairment, litigation contingencies, board and stockholder matters costs, restaurant closure and refranchising costs, other financing costs, COVID-19 related costs and executive transition costs. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are supplemental measures of operating performance that do not represent and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and the Company's calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies in its industry or otherwise. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA to reflect the additions and eliminations shown in the table below. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to the Company's performance based on its GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and the Company's presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of its adjusted EBITDA outlook to the most comparable GAAP measure of Net loss. Providing Net loss guidance is potentially misleading and not practical given the difficulty of projecting event-driven transactional and other non-core operating items that are included in Net loss, including asset impairments and income tax valuation adjustments. The reconciliations of adjusted EBITDA to Net loss for the historical periods presented below are indicative of the reconciliations that will be prepared upon completion of the periods covered by the non-GAAP guidance. Twelve Weeks Ended Forty Weeks Ended October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 October 2, 2022 October 3, 2021 Net loss as reported $ (12,567 ) $ (14,980 ) $ (33,605 ) $ (28,689 ) Interest expense, net 4,419 2,846 15,137 10,435 Income tax provision (benefit) (43 ) (26 ) 453 (328 ) Depreciation and amortization 17,368 18,881 58,924 63,984 EBITDA 9,177 6,721 40,909 45,402 Asset impairment 2,187 — 13,048 1,357 Gain on sale of restaurant property (9,204 ) — (9,204 ) — Change in accounting estimate, gift card breakage(1) — — (5,246 ) — Executive transition 1,825 — 1,954 — Other financing costs(2) 1,022 — 1,392 — COVID-19 related charges 123 299 423 1,112 Restaurant closure costs (gains) (1,570 ) 1,102 309 5,301 Closed corporate office, net of sublease income 267 — 267 — Litigation contingencies 133 160 47 1,330 Board and stockholder matter costs — — — 128 Adjusted EBITDA $ 3,960 $ 8,282 $ 43,899 $ 54,630 (1) Change in estimate, gift card gift card breakage revenue, net of commission relates to the Company's re-evaluation of its estimated redemption pattern. The impact during the forty weeks ended October 2, 2022 comprises $5.9 million included in Franchise royalties, fees, and other revenue partially offset by $0.6 million in gift card commission costs included in Selling on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. (2) Other financing costs includes legal and other charges related to the refinancing of our Credit Facility in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.
